Conductivity trend

 

Trend in oxides
Your results for conductivity of the period 3 elements should also suggest a trend. How can this trend be justified with one of the periodic properties we have discussed?

Oxides of elements also exhibit properties which show evidence of some kind of periodic behavior. In the experiment you looked at both water solubility and the acidity of the resulting solution. What is the trend there?

Based on this trend, how might you expect the oxides of chlorine to behave? Is there any evidence to suggest the possible room temperature phase of these oxides?
