Key takeaways
An overview of how the elements in the periodic table are arranged.
An understanding of how elements in the periodic table are arranged in terms of atomic number and electron shell configuration.
An explanation of the electronic configuration of the first 20 elements.
Host: Laura studied at Royal Holloway University of London and the Open University. She is passionate about science communication and has presented talks about Exoplanets at Oxford University and Imperial College London. There are 118 elements on the periodic table as of 2021. In this class, students will be guided through how the periodic table is arranged in terms of their atomic number and electron shell structures. Students will then arrange the electrons of the first 20 elements into the correct configurations. This class is aimed at students in Years 10 and 11 and is an important concept in chemistry so students need to have a good understanding of it!
