Honors/Gifted Chemistry

Monday


Standard(s): SC1g. Develop and use models, including electron configuration of atoms and ions, to predict an element’s chemical properties.

LT: We are learning how to develop and use models to predict an element's properties. 

SC: 

  • I can explain how electrons are distributed around a nucleus.

  • I can define electron configuration, ground state, excited state and isoelectronic.

  • I can create an electron configuration for an atom or ion.

  • I can create a noble gas configuration for an atom or ion.

  • I can use electron configurations to predict an element's properties.

  • I can use electron configurations to identify isoelectronic atoms and ions.

Lesson/Activity:

  • Get the last list of 20 Elements for the Last Elements Quiz on Wednesday, September 25th.

  • Use Chromebooks to complete Notes on Electron Behavior, an Atomic Webquest, and Flocabulary #5 on Luis Alvarez in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.

  • Use time to get caught up on missing work (R.A.s, POGIL #2, lab conclusions, worksheets, Table of Contents, etc.)

  • HW: R.A. #8 due on Tuesday, September 17th and R.A. #9 due on Thursday, September 19th. Flocabulary #5 due on Wednesday, September 18th.
