Classroom Resources: Atomic Structure

1 – 7 of 7 Classroom Resources

• 

  Covalent Bonding, Lewis Structures, VSEPR Theory, Electronegativity, Polarity, Atomic Radius, Valence Electrons | High School

  Project: Molecular Modeling

  In this project, students will research a molecule selected from the teacher approved list, construct a three-dimensional model of the molecule, and present their research to the class in a 7-10 minute oral presentation.

• 

  Electron Configuration, Precipitate, Balancing Equations, Electrons, Valence Electrons, Solubility Rules, Classification of Reactions | High School

  Lesson Plan: Transition Metals Color the World

  In this lesson students will complete a series of double replacement reactions to form precipitates. The precipitates will be used as a pigment to create paint.

• 

  Electron Configuration, Electrons, Valence Electrons, Periodic Table | High School

  Lesson Plan: Electron Configuration and the Periodic Table

  In this lesson, students will learn how the periodic table can be used to predict the electron configuration of an atom and, thus, better predict the reactivity of an atom.

• 

  Model of the Atom, Subatomic Particles, Atomic Mass, Valence Electrons, Atoms, Periodic Table, Elements | Middle School, High School

  Activity: Mystery Elements

  The students will work in cooperative groups to construct Bohr models of "mystery" elements and record missing information about each element. Students will also create a new "mystery" element card for a classmate to analyze and determine its identity.

• 

  Atomic Radius, Ionic Radius, Ionization Energy, Valence Electrons, Periodic Table | High School

  Activity: Periodic Trends I: Ionization Energy, Atomic Radius & Ionic Radius

  In this simulation, students will investigate several periodic trends, including atomic radius, ionization energy and ionic radius. Through the use of this simulation students will have the opportunity to examine atomic data as well as visually compare and interact with select elements from the periodic table.

• 

  Valence Electrons, Lewis Dot Diagrams | High School

  Activity: Box Valence Electrons

  In this activity, students will create a mini periodic table of elements using Lewis dot diagrams to represent each element up to calcium.

• 

  Trends of the Periodic Table, Atomic Radius, Ionic Radius, Ionization Energy, Valence Electrons | Middle School, High School

  Simulation: Periodic Trends: Ionization Energy, Atomic Radius & Ionic Radius

  In this simulation for the March 2016 issue, students can investigate the periodic trends of atomic radius, ionization energy, and ionic radius. By choosing elements from the periodic table, atoms can be selected for a side by side comparison and analysis. Students can also attempt to ionize an atom by removing its valence electrons. Quantitative data is available for each periodic trend, and can be further examined in a graph.
