describe the structure of the atom and include the locations of the subatomic particles
explain the formation of ions from atoms
identify the four blocks (s, p, d, f) of the periodic table based on electron configuration
explain the impact of de Broglie’s wave/practicle duality and the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle on the current view of electrons and atoms
apply the Pauli Exclusion Principle, Aufbau Principle, and Hund’s rule to write electron configuration using orbital diagrams.
define valence electrons and draw electron dots representing an atom’s valance electrons.
To be ready for the electron configuration and periodic table test:
Be able to: -solve mathematical problems involving the relationship between speed of light, wavelength, frequency, and energy -know that the speed of ALL electromagnetic radiation is constant in a vacuum -write an electron configuration for an atom and an ion -know the meaning of the terms atomic emission spectrum, photon, frequency, quantum, wavelength, and spectrum -know the general order of the electromagnetic spectrum from least to most energy including the order of the visible spectrum -know the order and shapes of the s, p, d, and f orbitals -know the difference between a paramagnetic and diamagnetic electron configuration -know how to write a noble gas configuration -know general trends in electronegativity, atomic radius, and ionization energy -know where the metals and and nonmetals are on the periodic table
