Metals
Understanding the properties and reactivity of metals can help to develop students basic understanding of chemical reactions. All the properties of a particular substance depend upon the elements present and how they are bonded to each other. The activities develop such areas as elements, ions, reactivity series, metal extraction, displacement ...

On This Day - Oct 30 : Linus Pauling Nobel Prize
He received the award for his research into the nature of the chemical bond. He subsequently received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962 for campaigning against the use of nuclear weapons, becoming the first and only person to be awarded two undivided Nobel Prizes.

On This Day - Oct 28 : Christopher Ingold was born
He was one of the leading figures in British chemistry and his aim was to understand the mechanism of organic reactions. He also contributed to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system, which is used to name the stereoisomers of a molecule.

On This Day - Jun 24 : Johannes Wislicenus born
He is best known for his work on stereochemistry. He coined the term ‘geometric isomerism’ in the early 1870s when he discovered two substances that had an identical chemical structure but different physical properties.

On This Day – Sep 19 : Chemical structure defined
Chemical structure refers to the way atoms are arranged within molecules. Butlerov realised that chemical compounds are not a random cluster of atoms and functional groups, but structures with definite order.

On This Day - Mar 15 : Nevil Sidgwick died
He contributed to the valence theory of chemical bonding by explaining the role of valency in covalent bonding, and demonstrated the existence and importance of the hydrogen (H) bond.
