Why is the Periodic Table Shaped the Way It Is? Is an Alternative Periodic Table Better?

In this educational video, we will explore the differences between atomic number, atomic mass, and mass number in the world of chemistry.

In chemistry, we usually talk about atoms and molecules. When we introduce the term 'element', things get a little confusing. In this video, we will cover what an element is in chemistry and give you some examples.

Dr. Boyd discusses the chemistry behind "Dr. Poison's" new chemical weapon in the new Wonder Woman movie.

After giving an explanation of the Periodic Table, Dr. Boyd explains where he thinks the fictitious metal Vibranium would be located on the Periodic Table if it were a real element. What do you think…where should Vibranium go on the...

The year 2019 is celebrated as the International Year of the Periodic Table (#IYPT) in recognition of its discovery 150 years ago in 1869. Listen along as Dr. Boyd gives a detailed explanation of its arrangement and what all the letters...

Ever wonder what a metal is?

What if Vibranium was a real elemental metal, where would it be located on the Periodic Table? Watch Dr. Boyd’s fun and creative take on that question.

Valence electrons are the electrons that are located in the outermost shell of an atom. In other words, these are the electrons that can be gained or lost during a chemical reaction. In order to determine the number of valence electrons...

The periodic table is arranged by atomic number, which is the number of protons in an element’s nucleus. The elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. The periodic table is also arranged by groups and periods. The...

The reactivity of an element is a function of how easily an element loses or gains electrons. To determine an element's reactivity, we can learn a lot from the periodic table, and its particular trends. The first element in the halogen...

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. They are important because they are involved in the chemical bonding of our elements which helps determine the reactivity of elements. In order to be stable,...
