Learning Objectives

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

Explain the configuration and arrangement of the periodic table.
Categorize elements belonging to a particular group based on their placement within the periodic table.
Differentiate metals from other elemental categories by examining their characteristic traits.
Apply the flame color test to determine the metal content of an element, considering its position in the periodic table.
Correlate the number of valence electrons and oxidation states of a main group element with its position in the periodic table.
Detail the principal patterns seen among groups and periods concerning atomic properties.
Elaborate on the atomic-level factors responsible for the primary trends in atomic radii, ionization energy, and electronegativity observed among groups and periods.

How do virtual labs work?

Enhance students' involvement in science by immersing them in interactive learning scenarios. Create simulations for experiments, provide hands-on training in laboratory techniques, and convey theoretical concepts through captivating visual experiences to improve their overall long-term learning outcomes.

Access web-based simulations that are compatible with laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and iPads, eliminating the need for software installation.
Incorporate a teacher dashboard for automated grading and monitoring of student progress.
Utilize embedded quizzes to assist students in mastering scientific content.
Comprehensive repository of educational materials, including learning resources, lab reports, videos, theory pages, graphics, and more.
