ESSENTIAL QUESTION: How are electrons arranged in atoms?

LEARNING TARGET: Identify the metallic elements by their characteristic colors in a flame test.

BENCHMARKS: SC.912.P.8.5

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Students will be able to:

-explain that when electrons transition to higher energy levels they absorb energy, and emit energy when they transition to lower energy levels.

-Data chat

BELL RINGER - identify the elements:

1. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3 - 
2.  1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s¹. 

or on Thursday/Friday: Write the short hand notation for the electron configuration of: copper, silver, and francium

VOCABULARY: energy, ground state, excited state, emission spectra, photon, Planck’s constant, quantum, quantum mechanical model, electron configuration, atomic orbital, energy levels, Aufbau Principle, Pauli Exclusion Principle, Hund’ Rule

HOME LEARNING: notebook update

AGENDA

WHOLE GROUP

Students completed the above bell ringers on the appropriate days.

Students completed the lab write up during class. We also discussed the rules and exceptions of how to write electron configurations, including the short hand method.

Students also completed the Gizmo on electron configuration, along with the assessment that accompanies it.
