Oklahoma State University: Chem 1215: Periodic Table

Four activities immerse beginning chemists into the world of elements. They examine the periodic table, use cobalt hydroxide to learn about chemical formulae and valence electrons. Also, they name binary compounds and examine the...

In a well-prepared Jeopardy-style game, your chemisty class can review the periodic table. Questions cover the element groups, some history, atomic number, atomic and ionic radii, electronegativity, and the shielding effect. What a fun...

You can't tell by the title, but this is a functional periodic table of elements. Incorporating bright colors, lucid text, and easily operated features, this application serves as a valuable reference tool for your chemistry class.

Don't underestimate the power of a driven mother. Learn how Mendeleev's mother helped him enter college and how she passed her passion to her son, helping him to believe in his theories. Discover the contributions he made to our current...

Two hundred years before Mendeleev created the periodic table, scientists observed patterns in the elements and tried to sort them. The brief first video in a 15-part series explains the development of the periodic table and the many...

J is the only letter not in the periodic table. The third video in a 15-part series discusses the periods and groups in the periodic table. It explains how they are assigned to both a period and a group as well as the similarities...

The major groups on the periodic table and their general properties based on their electrons are the focus of a video that also explains why the table is drawn in two parts and which elements are crucial to life. 

Professor Martyn Poliakoff shows viewers a variety of versions of the periodic table all around his office as an introduction to this series of videos on the elements. The only educational value in this particular presentation is that he...

Why is the periodic table arranged the way it is? As pupils complete the electron configuration of the first 20 elements, they see the relationship to the rows and columns in the periodic table. The video instructor highlights these...

When scientists confirm new elements, do these elements always fit in on the periodic table where scientists expect? The second video in a series of 15 discusses how the elements are organized on the periodic table. The resource...
