Starting with a recap of atomic structure, these slides continue by comparing different isotopes of uranium and explaining which are stable and which have a decay period and emit alpha or beta particles. Gamma decay is just mentioned on...

An introduction to the noble gases shows how full electron shells on an atom makes an element unreactive. Your class will then develop an understanding of how sodium and chlorine react ideally because of their electron arrangement....

In this chemistry worksheet, young scholars look at the diagrams for the chemistry reaction. Then they write down the correct chemical reaction.

Grab a partner and shed some light on light. A remote learning resource has scholars play a board game to answer trivia questions about light. They also read about how Einstein contributed to the understanding of light as both a wave and...

The fifth lesson of seven in the series outlines an in-depth analysis of the periodic table. After direct instruction, pupils take turns practicing in the group before beginning independent study. The assessments include a...

In this chemistry worksheet, students complete the table for each element by writing the electron configuration of the element and giving the values of the four quantum numbers. They also create an energy level diagram for their element...

Students write electron configuration of elements using atomic numbers and they identify valence electrons. For this electrons lesson plan, students observe a demonstration showing the space-filling property of an electron. They also...

Learners practice drawing Lewis dot structures, build molecules with model kits, and predict molecular shapes using VSEPR theory. The combination of written work and hands-on reinforcement benefits young scientists.

It's electronic! Pupils uncover elements and their electron configurations as they explore mass, groupings, correct charges, and sliding theory. Young scientists learn creative ways to remember various elements and correctly...

People have been using solar energy for many generations to dry crops, heat homes, and for light. This presentation explains how now it is possible to capture the solar energy and store it for future use, details how and where...

Students read the periodic table and apply their knowledge of the construction of atoms. They demonstrate reading the electron configuration of an element on the periodic file.

For this honor chemistry I worksheet, students use all available resources to answer each question given. Students apply their knowledge of light, quantum theory of light, Bohr's model, photoelectric theory.

Students discuss the mass-energy relationship based on Einstein's work. They calculate the energy released in various scenerios and sketch diagrams for the Lyman, Balmer and Pfund Series. In groups, they discuss the role of photons and...

Students explore Jupiter's magnetosphere. In this Jupiter lesson, students examine a diagram of the magnetic field that surrounds Jupiter.

After drawing the valence electron distribution of 13 basic elements, there are spaces to draw 18 more complicated molecules.  For each molecule, there is space for a Dot structure and Lewis structure that best describes the...

In this science review activity, 5th graders answer questions about molecules, force, elements, nature, and more. Students complete 25 multiple choice questions.

Pupils study magnetism. In this science lesson plan, students participate in an activity to discover how electrons in a magnet move. Pupils identify items around the classroom that are magnetic.

This audio book, narrated by author Mark Bishop, describes how to write regular and abbreviated electron configurations, and how to draw orbital diagrams. Also find links to animations, tutorials, power points, and chapter maps about...

Electron orbitals. Diagonal rule. Dot diagrams. The periodic table. There's so much to know about the tiniest building blocks of life- atoms. [4:41]

This lesson will point out the difference between electron pairs and unpaired electrons in an atom using orbital diagrams. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Paired and Unpaired Electrons."

Lists the exceptions to the octet rule and provides a discussion and diagrams explaining each one. Includes clear diagrams illustrating this concept.
