Periodic Table of Elements Explained - Metals, Nonmetals, Valence Electrons, Charges

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.
