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.

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.
