Is your class in a quandary over quantum numbers? Change things up by adding games to the mix! Science scholars discover the shape, number of electrons, and number of orbitals in the s, p, and d sub-shells using an interactive.

Twelfth graders investigate the proper filling order of electrons in the energy levels of an atom. They practice how to "read" these occupied energy levels as electron configurations and demonstrate their understanding through creative...

For this elements worksheet, students write the electron configuration, structural formula, or Lewis electron dot structure of given elements and compounds. This worksheet has 8 fill in the blank and 3 drawings.

In this atoms worksheet, young scholars determine the energy difference between levels and draw diagrams of the different types of orbitals. Students determine the ground state electron configuration for given elements. This worksheet...

Here is a top-notch handout to supply your chemistry class with. It covers valence electrons, Lewis diagrams, the octet rule, and more! Technically it is less of a worksheet than a detailed explanation of these chemical bonding concepts....

Explore carbon and bonding with this worksheet. First, class members read a short excerpt about carbon and its characteristics. In response to the reading, they draw an electron dot diagram of carbon as well as diagrams of compounds...

"Up and Atom" is a mini-unit introducing middle-schoolers to the wonders of elements. Participants draw atom models, examine the periodic table, compare samples of metals to nonmetals, identify unknown elements, and more! The beginning...

In this elements worksheet, students review the information that is found on a periodic table including atomic mass, chemical symbol, atomic, number, and electron configuration. This worksheet has 7 fill in the blank questions.

An in-depth lesson, the fourth activity in a series of 36, begins with teaching how the periodic table's arrangement came to its current design. Using this knowledge, pupils then move on to analyze the arrangement of elements to their...

For this periodic trends worksheet, students solve ten problems related to elements in the periodic table. Students write electron configurations for atoms and they compare elements and their periodic trends.

Students research the element of carbon, its composition, and the importance of carbon to life on earth. Then they design model mobiles of carbon atoms to demonstrate their understanding of the configuration of protons, neutrons, and...

In this atoms worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by writing in the number of electrons, valence electrons, electron configuration, orbital box diagram, probability diagram, and Lewis Dot diagram for the given atoms and ions.

In this Bohr atom worksheet, students complete a table with the number of electrons of the element, the electron configuration, the mass number, the number of protons, the number of neutrons, the element, the symbol and the isotope...

Students examine the concepts of isotopes and atoms.  In this powerpoint lesson, students see the balance in numbers  of protons, neutrons, and electrons create isotopes and ions of certain atoms.

It's all in the family with this presentation! The halogen, alkali metal, and noble gas families are introduced to young chemists along with characteristic properties and colorful diagrams of electron shells. Viewers are then taught how...

In this atomic structure worksheet, learners use textbooks and dictionaries to find the definitions of 22 terms associated with atomic structure.

In this elements worksheet, students determine how electrons fill up the energy levels for the first 18 elements of the periodic table. Students determine if elements gain or lose electrons to form a stable ion. This worksheet has 4...

Students are introduced to the periodic table. They find the common trends among the electron configurations and the names of certain groups of the table. Students explore the atomic mass, atomic number, mass number, mass and charge...

Students review atomic structure and then participate in a activity in which they categorize several "elements" into some form of order based on their properties. They discuss the trends they see. They also practice several electron...

The first nine slides visit the history of our understanding of atoms. The next several outline the structure of atoms. Subatomic particles, electron configuration, and diagramming methods are introduced. This is a neatly organized...

Four pages provide plenty of problem solving practice for chemistry whizzes. They answer questions and write electron configurations for ions. They use Lewis dot diagrams to display equations. Covalent bonds are explored. The last half...

The 20th installment in a series of 36 focuses on the characteristics of the p-block elements. Learners discuss, read about, and answer questions pertaining to the occurrence of these elements in nature, their electron configurations,...

In this thermochemistry learning exercise, students indicate whether the given processes are endothermic or exothermic reactions. Students complete the phase change diagram as well as define a given set of vocabulary words. Students...

In "The Nature of Covalent Bonding," chemistry hopefuls demonstrate an understanding of various types of covalent bonds, electron configuration, and resonance structures through fill in the blank, true or false, and matching questions....
