Exploding Soap Bubbles: Hydrogen + Oxygen A series of three videos shows that as the ratio of oxygen to hydrogen in soap bubbles increases, the explosions that occur when the bubbles are ignited get louder. (The fact that with an excess of oxygen the explosions would become softer again is not shown.) Each video is repeated with no voice-over so that only the sounds of the explosions are heard. Five still images are provided to show the stoichiometry on the molecular scale. The videos are intended to be shown in order beginning with Hydrogen Alone and ending with hydrogen plus more oxygen.
Forecasting Periodic Trends: A Semester-Long Team Exercise for Nonscience MajorsJohn Tierney Teams of students in a course for nonscience majors identify trends among the properties of elements in the periodic table, use Excel to plot and produce best-fit equations to describe relationships among those properties, and apply the resulting formulas to predict and justify the properties of missing elements. Tierney, John. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1215.

Probing the Orbital Energy of an Electron in an AtomJames L. Bills This article answers an appeal for simple theoretical interpretations of atomic properties. A theoretical snapshot of an atom, showing the screened nuclear charge and the electron to be ionized at its radius of zero kinetic energy, enables anyone to approximate its ionization energy. Bills, James L. J. Chem. Educ.2006, 83, 473.

Trends in Ionization Energy of Transition-Metal ElementsPaul S. Matsumoto Examines why, as the number of protons increase along a row in the periodic table, the first ionization energies of the transition-metal elements are relatively steady, but that for the main-group elements increases. Matsumoto, Paul S. J. Chem. Educ.2005, 82, 1660.
