Content

Mixture separation, periodic law, periodic trends, group/period gradations, transition elements

Objective

Classify mixtures and apply separation techniques (crystallization, distillation, chromatography); test purity using melting/boiling points; explain periodic trends (atomic radius, ionization energy, electronegativity); analyze period 3 and group 7 (halogens) chemical gradations; understand transition metal properties (variable oxidation states, complex formation, catalysis, color).
