CONTENT

ASSESSMENT

The study of the relationships of elements to identify patterns and interactions allows for the understanding that the Periodic Table is an expression of trends and properties of elements, which enables modelling of systems and processes to predict interactions. Chemical reactions involve the transfer of energy and the transformation of chemical substances to produce a range of products. The changes occur at different rates depending on the reaction conditions.
