C9 Syllabus Statements & Overview

GCSE s-cool – The Periodic Table (we don’t need group II) – revision notes & animations, practise exam questions & a revision summary. Skoool Chemistry – Elements of the Periodic Table for excellent lessons on the different groups. For Doc Brown’s Chemistry quizzes, word-fills, crosswords and study notes go here and just scroll down. Chemactive worksheets and answers just click on Periodic Table questionsHere’s a great power-point that also covers C8.4 Identification of ions and gases:

The periodic table and identification of ions from Carole Paquette

And here’s another great power-point:

Here are some key terms for this topic: Key Terms C9

The Periodic Table (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)

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 (group 8)

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.

C10.1 Properties of Metals

Two videos from TutorVista cover the physical properties of metals (5m) and the chemical properties (8m 15s). And this is a 1m video on malleability & ductility of metals.

Naked Science Scrapbook answers the question what is an Alloy? (6m 45s).

Solids, Liquids & Gases

Some information on solids, liquids and gases (including a decent animation) can be found here. And this is a video on States of Matter from The Virtual School:

Science Bank 4 (Motion of Particles): Part 1 – Brownian motion (to 4m 45s); Part 2 – diffusion (to 9m 45s); Part 3 – changes of state (to 14m 15s):

IGCSE Chemistry: Topic 1 part 1 Particulate Nature of Matter  (6m 30s) & part 2 Diffusion (5m 35s), lessons by Sal Sciab.
