Lesson Plan: Periodicity Chemistry

Start Practising

This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to describe the trends in properties across periods of the periodic table.

Objectives

Students will be able to

describe variations and trends in ionic radii, atomic radii, melting point, and conductivity,
define and calculate the atomic radius.

Prerequisites

Students should already be familiar with

atomic structure,
the structure of the periodic table,
general properties of metals and nonmetals and their location on the periodic table.

Exclusions

Students will not cover

trends in ionization energy.
