  • Periodic Table, Atoms, Model of the Atom, Valence Electrons | High School

    Simulation: Periodic Trends: Ionization Energy, Atomic Radius & Ionic Radius Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

    In this simulation, students can investigate the periodic trends of atomic radius, ionization energy, and ionic radius. By choosing elements from the periodic table, atoms can be selected for a side by side comparison and analysis. Students can also attempt to ionize an atom by removing its valence electrons. Quantitative data is available for each periodic trend, and can be further examined in a graph.

  • Separating Mixtures, Covalent Bonding, Concentration | High School

    Lesson Plan: AP Chemistry Experimental Evidence Review Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

    In this lesson, students will evaluate data from 16 simulated lab experiments that were designed to mirror the Recommended Labs from the College Board. Corresponding lab experiments and demonstration options have also been included for teacher reference.
