This course provides a thorough understanding of the periodic table and the trends that govern the physical and chemical properties of elements. It begins with Mendeleev’s Periodic Table, explaining its historical importance and how it laid the foundation for modern classification of elements. The course then introduces the Modern Periodic Table, focusing on its organization based on atomic number.

Students will learn how to determine the group, period, and block of an element, making it easier to understand its position and behavior in the periodic table. The course covers essential periodic trends, including atomic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity, with clear explanations of how these properties change across periods and down groups.

In addition, the course explains metallic and non-metallic character and how these properties vary within the periodic table. By the end of this course, learners will be able to analyze trends, predict element properties, and build a strong conceptual foundation for further studies in chemistry. This course is ideal for high school and introductory college chemistry students.
