Periodic Patterns in Melting Points Across Period 3

[britw]

This video was amazing. You really went to basics and built up which is what some online tutors don't tend to do. This is amazing for me as an Access to HE student who last did chemistry more than 4 years ago, even then with an awful (mostly absent) teacher and an even worse mindset and mentality to teach myself! Thank you so much for your time and effort into your channel!

What an amazing teacher - these videos will be greatly appreciated by many a student for as long as the OCR A Spec is still in existence!

That was great. My terrible Oxford AQA textbook is useless. These videos are superb.

Well structured, organized vedio! It helps a lot!

Hi James, I've got a big question here, you've made this video on Period 3, does this trend or pattern occur with all the other periods in the Periodic Table?

Just two quick questions, answering them will be greatly appreciated:


How is that there's metallic bonding with the Mg2+ ions and the sea of electrons even though Mg exists as an atom in its natural state, not an ion, so how come there are still Mg2+ ions??


And around 4:13, you mention that the smaller ionic radius helps increase attraction and thus the mpt as well, but how? In what way?
