This video tutorial covers atomic structure and the periodic table for GCSE chemistry. It begins with an introduction to atoms, elements, and compounds, followed by a detailed explanation of chemical reactions and balancing equations. The video then explores mixtures and various separation techniques, such as filtration and distillation. It discusses the development of atomic models, including the plum pudding and nuclear models, and provides a detailed look at atomic structure and subatomic particles. The periodic table's organization and element properties are explained, with a focus on Group 1 and Group 7 elements. Finally, the video examines the characteristics of transition metals.
