Learning covered 31/08-04/09
The weeks topics focussed on electronic structures and electron configurations in their various orbitals.
Learning covered 26/10-30/10
This shortened week, we focussed on sigma and pi bonds and the orbital overlaps, the relationship between bond energy and bond length to reactivity
Learning covered 19/10-23/10
This week it was the turn for covalent bonds, a recap of electron configurations and orbitals, dative covalent bonds and finally, hybridisation
Learning covered 12/10-16/10
This week we focussed on electronegativity and ionic and metallic bonds.
Learning covered 28/09-02/10
This week was dedicated to calculating moles in titrations, including the use of limiting reagents and percentage yield calculations.
Learning covered 21/09-25/09
This week we covered empirical formulae and their calculations, including percentage composition by mass and calculating molecular formulae.
Learning covered 14/09-18/09
The week focussed on Ionization energies and the patterns and factors that affect them
Learning covered 07/09-11/09
This week we focused on explaining why and how ionisation energy graphs varied across groups, down periods, and how successive ionisation energies of a single atom could be used to identify that atom.
Learning covered 24/08-28/08
Atomic, mass and nucleon numbers and variation in atomic and ionic radius down a group and across a period.
