Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:

Explain the arrangement and layout of the periodic table.
Categorize elements within a group based on their placement in the periodic table.
Differentiate metals from other element categories using their typical attributes.
Employ the flame color test to identify metals in accordance with their periodic table positioning.
Correlate the number of valence electrons and oxidation state of a main group element with its location in the periodic table.
Elaborate on the key patterns in atomic characteristics across both groups and periods.
Clarify the underlying causes at the atomic level for the primary trends in atomic radii, ionization energy, and electronegativity across groups and periods.

How do virtual labs work?
