About Intermediate Chemistry: Halogens & Alkaline Earth Metals
What is Intermediate Chemistry: Halogens & Alkaline Earth Metals?
Intermediate Chemistry: Halogens & Alkaline Earth Metals is a self-paced online course offered by Alison US CA, designed to deepen understanding of two critical groups in the periodic table—alkaline earth metals (Group 2) and halogens (Group 17). This course is ideal for learners who have completed introductory chemistry and are ready to explore periodic trends, chemical reactivity, and real-world applications of these elements.
Key features
- Group 2 Elements — Study beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium, including their metallic bonding and reactivity trends.
- Atomic Structure Trends — Learn how increasing nuclear charge and electron shielding affect melting points and reactivity down Group 2.
- Flame Tests — Understand how emission colors in a Bunsen flame identify group 2 metals.
- Solubility & Decomposition — Compare solubilities of sulfates and hydroxides, and examine thermal decomposition of carbonates and nitrates.
- Group 17 Halogens — Explore fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine, including their physical states and reactivity trends.
- Real-World Applications — Discover how magnesium creates bright flashes in fireworks and how calcium carbonate forms limestone and marble.
- Free Access — Available at no cost with optional certificate purchase.
