AQA GCSE Combined Science: Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table

Covers the fundamental concepts of atomic structure, including the historical development of the atomic model, subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons), atomic number, mass number, and isotopes. It details electron configuration for the first 20 elements and explores the structure and development of the periodic table, focusing on the properties and trends of Group 1 (alkali metals), Group 7 (halogens), and Group 0 (noble gases) as required for the AQA Combined Science Trilogy specification.

Lesson#1
Welcome to this deck on Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table. We'll explore the building blocks of all matter, starting with the smallest part of an element, the atom. We'll look at how our understanding of the atom has changed over time and discover the particles inside it. Then, we'll see how atoms are organised into the periodic table, and investigate the properties of some key groups of elements.
Lesson#2
Let's start with some fundamental definitions. The smallest part of an element that can exist is called an atom. An element is a substance made up of only one type of atom. When two or more elements are chemically bonded together, they form a compound. Finally, a mixture consists of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded together, like salt and sand.
