Understanding Metals, Non-Metals, and Their Properties in the Periodic Table
Classification of elements into metals, non-metals, and metalloids based on their properties is essential. Metals are known for their conductivity and malleability, while non-metals have contrasting features like brittleness and poor conductivity. This detailed overview explores the physical propert

Exploring Physical Properties of Ionic Substances through Model Building
Engage students aged 11-16 in an interactive activity to understand the physical properties of ionic substances such as high melting points, ability to conduct electricity, and brittleness. By building a model of an ionic lattice for sodium chloride and explaining how the structure relates to these

Understanding Ceramic Properties: Strength, Brittle Behavior, and More
Ceramics exhibit specific properties such as high compressive strength, brittleness due to mixed ionic-covalent bonding, low fracture toughness, poor electrical and thermal conduction (except for some types), and chemical insensitivity. While strong in compression, ceramics are brittle and lack duct
