Paramagnetism: Compounds Vials of a number of compounds (NaCl, MnSO4, FeSO4, CoCl2, NiSO4, ZnSO4, K4Fe(CN)6, [Co(NH3)6]Cl3, [Ni(NH3)6]Cl2, and H2O) are hung from a thread. When a magnet is brought near, some of the vials are attracted.

Paramagnetism: Oxidation States of Manganese Manganese(III) oxide, with 4 unpaired electrons per Mn atom, is more strongly attracted to a magnet than is manganese(IV) oxide, with only 3 unpaired electrons per Mn atom. Potassium permanganate, a compound of Mn(VII), has no unpaired electrons and is not attracted to a magnet.
Lanthanum (La) and Actinium (Ac) Should Remain in the d-blockLaurence Lavelle This paper discusses the reasons and implications of placing lanthanum and actinium in the f-block and lutetium and lawrencium in the d-block. Lavelle, Laurence. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 1482.

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.

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.
Interactive Electron ConfigurationsWilliam F. Coleman An application that allows students to drag electrons onto energy levels to construct electron configurations for atoms up to atomic number Ar. The student is responsible for obeying the fundamental rules of quantum mechanics.
