Overview: Electron Structure 2

This is an overview of Topic 7: Electron Structure 2. It includes the repeating patterns across a period, ionisation energy and the factors that affect it and successive ionisation energy.

Ionisation Energy

Video explaining ionisation energy using oxygen’s 8 ionisation energies.

Explaining Successive Ionisation Energies

Video explaining the reason why ionisation energy increases after each succession and the information you can get from successive ionisation energies.

Periodicity

This video explains what periodicity and outlines the difference of observations seen in groups and periods of the periodic table.

Periodic Patterns in First Ionisation Energies 1

This video explains what first ionisation energy is and the repeating pattern down groups of the periodic table involving first ionisation energy.

Periodic Patterns in First Ionisation Energies 2

This video looks at the trend across period 2 of the first ionisation energies and explains discrepancies across the period.

Periodic Patterns in Melting Points across Period 3

This video explains the trend of melting/boiling points across period 3.
