OCR Applied Science F180: C1 Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table – 5 PowerPoint Lessons

Five complete, editable lessons covering all of topic area C1: atoms and isotopes, relative atomic mass and mass spectra, electron shells and configurations, periods, groups and periodicity, and atomic radius and the s-, p- and d-blocks.

Every lesson follows the same structure: retrieval starter, clear explanations, worked examples that reveal one step at a time, hinge questions, independent practice with full answers, and an exit check.

What makes them different

Original, fully editable diagrams, from Bohr models and mass spectra to a 4s/3d energy-level ladder, periodic table block maps and atomic radius models.

Real photographs of the elements, including lithium, bromine, copper, the halogens and glowing noble gases, all cleared for classroom use and credited.

Exam-style questions with mark schemes in OCR style (ALLOW / IGNORE), using OCR command words throughout.

Maths built in: particle counts, relative atomic mass from isotope abundances, rearranging the equation to find abundances, reading mass spectra, and interpreting a melting-point graph.

Electron configurations written 4s before 3d, including chromium and copper, with both group-numbering systems taught and accepted.

Each presentation is one ready-to-teach lesson and can be adapted to suit your class.
