How do we use electron configuration?
Element: SC3.b The learner will use the orbital configuration of neutral atoms to explain its effect on the atom's chemical properties.
1. Due - Finished data table of 10 elements for lab
2. Magnetism
3. Electron Behavior - Wave or Particle?
Episode 303 - Electrons in the Atom
4. Waves - label a wavelength, amplitude, crest, trough, frequency
5. HW - Lab - finish lab questions and conclusion
Lab Elements = Boron, Silicon, Sulfur, Calcium, Arsenic, Iodine, Rubidium, Chromium, Gallium, Platinum
Lab Questions:
1. Why are the outer-most electrons the only ones included in the orbital filling diagram and the electron dot diagram?
2. The orbital filling diagram has arrows pointing in opposite directions when two electrons occupy the same orbital. What do these arrows indicate?
3. How many electrons do the elements in Group 2 of the periodic table have in their electron dot diagram?
4. Element X has an electron dot diagram with 5 dots. Name at least two elements which could be X.
5. Identify the element which has the following orbital filling diagram. 5s has 2 arrows and 5p has 2 arrows
