Electron organization is central to understanding bonding and periodic trends. Learn how to use modeling instruction to teach a unique model of electron organization through analysis of ionization energies. The presentation will cover alignment with NGSS HS-PS1-B, and AP Chemistry Essential Knowledge 1.B.1 and 1.B.2.
