We will begin by looking at three groups within the periodic table of elements: group 1 - the alkali metals; group 7 - the halogens; and group 0 - the noble gases. We will then look at energy change, rates of reaction and reversible reactions before moving on to our fifth and final unit of chemistry - fuel's and the Earth's atmosphere.--
