Concept Builders - Modern Atomic Model

From Plum Pudding to the Periodic Table, these Concept Builder activities will help you understand the ins and outs of the atom and the bonds they form.

Activities

Line Spectra

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To relate the color of lines in a line spectra of an element to the energy level transitions that are occurring.

Quantum Mechanics

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To identify the meaning of the four quantum numbers, the rules governing allowed and non-allowed quantum number values, and the characteristics of atomic orbitals.

Complete Electron Configurations

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To identify the complete electron configuration for a neutral atom or of an ion of any given element.

Periodic Table Battleship

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To associate an electron configuration with a location of an element on the periodic table.

Periodic Trends

🞋︎ Learning Goal: To order elements based on the values of periodic properties such as atomic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity.
