This introductory chemistry video tutorial explains the periodic table of the elements and some of its trends and characteristics. This video contains a few examples, concepts, and practice problems. It's very useful for kids learning the table for the first time but unfortunately - this periodic table video contains no song. Here is a list of topics: 1. Alkali Metals - Li, Na, K, Rb - Reactivity With Water 2. Alkaline Earth Metals - Be, Ca, Mg, Sr, and Ba +2 Charge 3. Valence Electrons, Core Electrons, and Charges 4. Transition Metals - Variable Charge 5. Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids 6. Electrical Conductivity of Metals, Malleable & Ductile 7. Characteristics of Metalloids Such as Si and Ge 8. Chalcogens - O, S, Se - 6 Valence Electrons 9. Valence Electrons vs Core Electrons 10. Halogens - Most Reactive Nonmetals - F, Br, Cl, I 11. Noble Gases - Chemically Inert - Nonreactive - He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe 12. Inner Transition Metals - Lanthanides and Actinides 13. Representative Elements Group 1, 2, and 13-18 14. Atomic Structure - Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons 15. The Nucleus of an atom 16. Electromagnetic Force vs Strong Nuclear Force 17. Atoms vs Ions 18. Atomic Mass vs Atomic Number 19. How To Calculate The Number of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons inside an atom or ion. 20. Elements Symbol Quiz / Worksheet Review
