C3 Atoms, Elements and Compounds (Combined Science)

But just how small is an atom? – from TED-Ed.

Here are some key terms for this topic: Key Terms C3

C3.1 PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL CHANGES

C3.2 ELEMENTS, COMPOUNDS & MIXTURES

C3.3 ATOMIC STRUCTURE & THE PERIODIC TABLE

A decent power-point, although we do not need to know about isotopes:

Short videos on what is an atom and parts of an atom (from The Virtual School) in English; and here’s one in Australian. Science Bank 17 (Atomic Structure):Part 1 – structure of the atom, Part 2 – atomic number & mass number, Part 3 – electronic structure.

The Virtual School have made a number of other short videos. Here’s one on atomic & mass number; this covers energy levels & electronic configuration. Some practice exam questions on atoms go here and here. And here’s a poem.

GCSE s-cool – Atomic Structure – revision notes & animations, practise exam questions & a revision summary. Skoool Chemistry – click on ‘5. Atoms & the Periodic Table’ for excellent lessons that take you through atomic structure; also a glossary of key terms. For Doc Brown’s Chemistry quizzes, word-fills, crosswords and study notes go here and just scroll down to ‘17.Atomic structure, isotopes, electronic structure’.. Chemactive worksheets & answers just click on ‘Atomic Structure questions’.

C3.4 IONS & IONIC BONDS

In case you didn’t get that, here’s a lesson on ionic bonding. Some other Virtual School videos include the formulae of ionic compounds and their names part 1 and part 2.

C3.5 MOLECULES & COVALENT BONDS

A 15m lesson covering Ionic, Covalent & Metallic bonding from ChemistryKlipz (you don’t need metallic bonding in this topic):


A nice review of bonding and here’s a song:

And now we need another song. Oh, here’s Mr W singing his Octet Rule Song.

C9.1 PERIODIC TRENDS

This is also a short Virtual School intro to the periodic table & Mendeleev – What is the Periodic Table?; part 1 of this Science Bank video is called ‘introducing the periodic table and this BBC Short Circuit Periodic Table is a 19m  video.

Why not try the Periodic Table time trial challenge? – it’s addictive.

A dynamic (wow!) periodic table is here and lots of other periodic table designs can be found at Science Notes.

Want to learn the first 10 elements? Try the Periodic Table song by Peter Weatherall. Or how about a lesson about every single element on the periodic table – created by the Periodic Videos team using the TED-Ed platform?

GROUP 1 – ALKALI METALS (C9.2 GROUP PROPERTIES)

Two short videos from The Virtual School What are groups in the periodic table? and the alkali metals.

A classic Open University clip about the (group I) alkali metals:

Brainiac carried out similar demonstrations – or were they faked? You decide.

Other videos featuring the alkali metals include part 1 of Science Bank 3: Patterns of Reactivity (to 4m 10s) and Chemistry of Groups 1, 7 & 0, and a 12m lesson from ChemistryKlipz.

The Periodic Table of Videos present the group 1 elements (the alkali metals): lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium (potassium has the best reaction).

GROUP 7 – THE HALOGENS (C9.2 GROUP PROPERTIES)

Halogens and Noble gases from Arrehome

Videos featuring the halogens also include Chemistry of Groups 1, 7 & 0, a 12m lesson from ChemistryKlipzScience Bank 3 (Patterns of Reactivity): part 2 (from 4m 10s  to 8m 50s) and:

The Periodic Table of Videos present the group 7 elements (the halogens): fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

C9.4 NOBLE GASES

Videos featuring the noble gases also include this classic Open University clip and a 12m lesson from ChemistryKlipz: Chemistry of Groups 1, 7 & 0Science Bank 18 (Patterns of Behaviour): part 2 covers the Noble Gases (from 4m 40s to 9m 25s).

The Periodic Table of Videos present the group 0 or 8 elements (the noble gases): helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.
