How do group 2 metals react with oxygen, chlorine and water? How does magnesium react with steam? What are the trends in ionisation energy of group 1 and 2? All this and more covered in this comprehensive lesson with questions and answers! This is a Year 12 A level lesson for Edexcel International Unit 2 – WCH12, but it can also be used for all UK exam boards. All the slides in this lesson are fully animated and include answers to every mini plenary question and exam question. The breakdown of the slides (which are best opened on Microsoft PowerPoint) is as follows:

Slide 1 - Title and 5-minute starter. The starter is a grid of four questions entitled ‘last week, last lesson, today’s learning and future learning’. Use this generic slide for all of your lessons by simply changing the questions and the answers each time.
Slide 2 - Lesson objectives (see thumbnail image)
Slides 3 – 4: Discussion of the general appearance of group 2 metals
Slides 5 – 8: Recap exercise of trends in ionisation energy of group1 and 2 metals. This will be a word fill exercise. Print slides 6 -7
Slide 9 – discussion of the reactivity of group 2 elements as a trend
Slide 10 – video of reaction of group 2 elements with oxygen
Slide 11 – conditions for the reactions of the elements with oxygen, general observations and general equation
Slide 12 - conditions for the reactions of the elements with chlorine, general observations and general equation
Slides 13 – 14: conditions for the reactions of the elements with oxygen, general observations and general equation (there is a video of the test tube reactions of the metals with water embedded in this slide)
Slide 15 – discussion of solubility of calcium hydroxide
Slide 16 – discussion of solubility of barium hydroxide
Slides 17 – 19: Practical – magnesium with steam. The method is included, plus diagrams. Enjoy – it’s a great practical!
Slide 20 – questions about the practical for students to answer. The answers are included as animated features
Sides 21 – 24: Exam questions with mark scheme answers (included with the purchase of this resource)
