Topics and Learning Outcomes

The Periodic Table
- recognize the relationships between elements in the same periods and in the same groups
- predict the properties of an element from its position, including its metallic, semi-metallic or non-metallic properties and the acid, basic or amphoteric properties of its oxide

Atomic Energy Levels
- identify the number of sub-shells available for each shell and the number of electrons that can fit in each of these
- write down electron configurations for atoms and ions

Lewis Model of Bonding
- draw Lewis structures for molecules containing single and multiple bonds and with lone pairs
- draw resonance structures for molecules where more than one Lewis structure is possible
- recognize that molecules with resonance structures have bonds which are intermediate between single and double bonds
