Where does an electron reside? Chemistry scholars determine an electron's "address," that is, what orbital it can be found in. This resource is both instructional and practical,  providing a thorough explanation of energy levels and...

This PowerPoint provides a complete recap of all the information needed for a unit on elements and the periodic table. The seventy slides cover the basic notation of elements, energy levels and ionization energies. The trends in the...

As an atomic structure reference and review tool, this handout fits the bill. The first page provides definitions and tables of orbitals, electrons, and energy levels. The second page is an opportunity to practice determining numbers of...

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...

In this electrons instructional activity, students complete a graphic organizer to show the pattern of the principal energy levels, number of orbitals, and electrons in each sublevel of atoms.

It's all relevant, really. Individuals use the scientific method to learn more about elements, atoms, and their placement on the periodic table. They conduct experiments using materials common in nature to explore how elements affect our...

In this location of electrons worksheet, students read about the quantum mechanical model of the atom and the location of electrons. They complete a table given eleven elements with the sublevel notation, the Bohr notation and the...

In this elements worksheet, learners determine the electron configuration, orbital diagram for the highest sublevel, and the number of unpaired electrons in ground state atom for the given elements. This worksheet has 7 problems to solve.

In this electron configuration worksheet, students fill in 10 blanks with the appropriate terms, they determine if 6 statements are true or false, they match 5 terms with their meanings and they answer two questions about electron...

Explains the basics of atomic structure, from simple definitions to information about quantum theory. Accurate and helpful basics whether or not you need the more advanced information.
