States of Matter

States of matter are the different forms we find elements, compounds and mixtures in the periodic table as solids liquids and gases.

Physical Properties

Physical properties of a substance are a way of measuring different features of that element or compound and classifying them.

Simple Covalent Bonding

Simple covalent bonding involves the sharing of a pair of electrons.

Giant Covalent Compounds

Giant covalent structures exist when many atoms are covalently bonded in a large structure.

Ionic Properties

Ionic compounds have a number of properties due to their bonding, they are brittle, non conductive as a solid and have high melting and boiling points.

The Transition Metals

The transition metals is a term given to the group of metals that occupy the centre of the periodic table. They are known as the transition elements as they bridge the gap between group 2 and 3. They are all metals, form coloured compounds and can act as catalysts with variable oxidation states.

Physical Properties of Elements

The physical properties of elements describes how the elements interact with the environment around them, especially temperatures and when they are placed into different substances.
