Science Struck: Electronegativity Chart of Elements

The 20th installment in a series of 36 focuses on the characteristics of the p-block elements. Learners discuss, read about, and answer questions pertaining to the occurrence of these elements in nature, their electron configurations,...

How did ancient scientists classify elements? Answer this question and others as young chemists create a device to test the properties of various elements. They classify elements as metals or nonmetals, learn to differentiate...

A study of the periodic table of elements doesn't have to be elementary! Deepen understanding of the building blocks of chemistry with an interactive periodic table. At first sight, the table looks like a standard reference page, but a...

What a cute approach to chemical bonding! Atoms all have human names and are attending at a dance. Who will pair up with whom? By reading the characteristics, and not the element name, chemistry whizzes figure out the bonding pairs....

For anyone learning or teaching chemistry, nothing beats a free and interactive periodic table of the elements. Peruse the elements while learning about atomic number and mass, melting and boiling points, and many other properties of...

It's not just any old bond! Through electronegativity, the instructor in a science video explains polar and nonpolar covalent bonds. 

It'll be difficult to stay positive through this lesson! Discuss electronegativity with your classes with a video introduction. The lesson defines electronegativity and then references the periodic table while highlighting different...

Finally, an electronegativity resource your class will be strangely drawn to! Skilled scientists manipulate interactive puzzles to gain an understanding of common electronegativity values. The great thing? You can conduct the lesson...

Primo Levi wrote a collection of short stories comparing his life from Italy to Auschwitz to elements in the periodic table. Pupils read an excerpt from his book and research the characteristics of various elements. Then, they make a...

Learn about radioactivity, the different types of radioactive decay, isotopes, and half-life of a radioactive element. Includes a long chart listing radioactive elements, atomic number and mass number, decay type, and length of half-life.
