Periodic Table and Periodicity - Applications
Download Q&AThe Periodic Table and Periodicity – Applications section demonstrates how periodic trends and elemental properties are applied to predict chemical behavior, explain reactions, and solve real chemical problems. This module is designed for Class 11–12 students, undergraduate learners, and competitive exam aspirants, helping bridge the gap between theoretical periodicity and practical chemistry.
In this section, you will explore applications such as:
-
Predicting chemical reactivity of elements using ionization enthalpy and electronegativity
-
Selection of oxidizing and reducing agents based on periodic trends
-
Bond type prediction (ionic vs covalent) using electronegativity differences
-
Acidic and basic nature of oxides and hydroxides across periods and groups
-
Reactivity trends in metals and non-metals for displacement and redox reactions
-
Comparative stability of oxidation states using electronic configuration
-
Prediction of lattice energy and solubility trends
-
Design of compounds and materials using periodic trends (introductory)
-
Exam-based application questions involving reasoning and elimination techniques
-
NCERT-aligned examples, supported by tables, trend graphs, and application-based MCQs
The content is structured to improve logical prediction skills, enhance problem-solving accuracy, and prepare students for application-based questions commonly asked in school exams, NEET, JEE, and CUET-UG.
Develop the ability to apply periodic trends intelligently, turning the Periodic Table into a powerful problem-solving tool in Inorganic Chemistry.
