  • Periodic Table, Atoms, Model of the Atom, Valence Electrons | High School

    Simulation: Periodic Trends: Ionization Energy, Atomic Radius & Ionic Radius Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

    In this simulation, students can investigate the periodic trends of atomic radius, ionization energy, and ionic radius. By choosing elements from the periodic table, atoms can be selected for a side by side comparison and analysis. Students can also attempt to ionize an atom by removing its valence electrons. Quantitative data is available for each periodic trend, and can be further examined in a graph.

  • Atoms, Model of the Atom, Atomic Theory | High School

    Lesson Plan: Modeling Energy in Chemistry: Energy and the Electron Mark as Favorite (1 Favorite)

    This activity is designed for students to build a scientific argument about the relationship between energy and spectral lines by exploring how light interacts with atoms. In the process, students will examine proposed models of the hydrogen atom and use collected data to analyze the proposed models. They will then select one of the models and write a scientific argument to support their choice. Students will then review additional data to support and/or refute their selection. Based on their analysis, students will revise their selected model and construct a new argument to support their revisions.

  • Electrostatic Forces, Emission Spectrum | High School

    Lesson Plan: Introduction to PES Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

    In this lesson students will learn how to interpret simple photoelectron spectroscopy spectra by incorporating their knowledge of electron configurations, periodic trends, and Coulomb’s law.

  • Electrostatic Forces | High School

    Lesson Plan: Coulomb's Law Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

    In this lesson students explore qualitative applications of Coulomb’s law within atoms and between ions and solvents.

  • Periodic Table, Model of the Atom | High School

    Animation: Atomic & Ionic Radii Animation Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

    This animation explores patterns in atomic and ionic radii. Students will look at the different sizes of atoms in the third period and the atoms in the sixth group to see trends across periods and down groups. They will also look at an atom and its corresponding cation as well as an atom and its corresponding anion.

  • Periodic Table, Atoms, Model of the Atom | High School

    Activity: Periodic Trends I: Ionization Energy, Atomic Radius & Ionic Radius Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

    In this simulation, students will investigate several periodic trends, including atomic radius, ionization energy and ionic radius. Through the use of this simulation students will have the opportunity to examine atomic data as well as visually compare and interact with select elements from the periodic table.

  • Periodic Table, Atoms, Model of the Atom | High School

    Simulation: Periodic Trends II: Electron Affinity, Atomic Radius & Ionic Radius Mark as Favorite (0 Favorites)

    The May 2016 simulation is a follow-up to the March 2016 simulation. Students will focus their investigation on the electron affinity of an atom. Through the use of this simulation students will have the opportunity to examine the formation of an anion as well as compare the atomic radius of a neutral atom to the ionic radius of its anion.
