Arrangement of the Periodic Table | Curriculum Bites

Duration: 5'11''

Synopsis

Spec references J248: C2.2a, C2.2b, C2.2c J250: C2.2a, C2.2b, C2.2c. This video explains the arrangement of the periodic table, detailing how group numbers correspond to the number of electrons in the outer shell and how this impacts the chemical properties and reactivity of elements. It further discusses how period numbers relate to the number of electron shells. The video concludes by highlighting the division of the periodic table into metals and non-metals, offering a brief overview of the properties of both metallic and non-metallic elements.
