Periodic Table and Elements
Description
Periodic Table and Elements encompasses the study of the systematic organization of all known chemical elements by atomic number and electron configuration. The subject covers the structure and organization of the periodic table, the properties of elements in different groups and periods, periodic trends including atomic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity, and how element properties relate to atomic structure. Learners will understand how the periodic table enables prediction of element behavior and how to use it for identifying elements and predicting chemical properties.
Learning Objectives
Upon completing this subject, learners will be able to understand periodic table organization and structure. They will identify elements by group and period properties. Learners will understand periodic trends. They will analyze how electron configuration determines element properties. They will evaluate how the periodic table predicts chemical behavior. Finally, learners will synthesize information to understand how the periodic table organizes chemical knowledge.
