The oxides of the first series, potassium dichromate and potassium permanganate and what they do as oxidising agents, and the alloys and interstitial compounds that metals form.

The oxides of the first series turn from basic to acidic as the oxidation state rises. Potassium dichromate: how it is made from chromite ore, the chromate and dichromate equilibrium, and what it does as an oxidising agent in acid.
Potassium permanganate: how it is made from manganese dioxide, what happens when it is heated, why it is purple, and what it becomes in acid, in neutral solution and in alkali.
Why d-block metals and their compounds are good catalysts, with the contact process and an iron(III) example. How the atoms of a metal mix in an alloy, and what happens when small atoms fill the gaps of a metal lattice.
