Electron Configuration Teacher Resources

The creator of this collection of chemistry slides is clever! Electron configuration is explained as, click-by-click, orbitals are displayed and then each is subsequently filled with the proper amount of electrons. After the progression,...

What does an atom look like? The instructor in a tutorial video models how to use the periodic table to determine the number of subatomic particles. He then uses the number of electrons to create an orbital diagram. Finally, Groves...

In this electron configuration worksheet, students write the electron configurations of 22 elements and compare their valence electron configurations. They list the elements that are similar in terms of their electrons. They identify the...

Delve into the world of quantum mechanics by viewing this PowerPoint. Chemistry novices learn about electron energy and shells, and they practice listing electron configuration for different atoms. Because this presentation provides...

Before determining which electrons are available for reactions, scientists identify each atom's electron configuration. An informative video from Socratica's chemistry playlist includes how to write electron configurations. It explains...

Configure your lesson plans to include a great resource. An informative YouTube video in the JFR Science playlist explains how to use orbital box diagrams to express electron configurations. It shows several examples of both expanded and...

Why is the periodic table arranged the way it is? As pupils complete the electron configuration of the first 20 elements, they see the relationship to the rows and columns in the periodic table. The video instructor highlights these...

Demonstrate the steps to drawing electron configuration diagrams. A video lesson shows how to use the periodic table to determine the number of electrons in an element and then create the diagrams. The instructor leads your class through...

A more detailed description and definition of orbitals, and the role they play in the atomic world are the focus of this video. The "P Orbitals" are described by taking a close look at the carbon element's properties. The periodic table...

It's hard to keep track of electrons ... that's where electron configurations come to the rescue. A short video in the JFR Science series highlights electron configurations and how to write both condensed and expanded notation. It...

Electron location accounts for many properties of an element. A video lesson describes how to create electron dot diagrams. The instructor discusses electron shells and the number of electrons in each.

No matter how you shuffle the elements, their electron configurations keep them in the same order. How can that be? Introduce the concept of periodicity through a lesson that combines inquiry, discussion, and comparison. Partners...

In this electron configuration and the periodic table worksheet, students are given a periodic table with each element. Students write the theoretical electron configuration for each element based on the rules for filling subshells with...

In this electron configuration and quantum mechanics worksheet, students identify the 4 symbols for quantum numbers, they complete an electron filling diagram, they complete orbital diagrams for 8 elements and they write the notation...

Here is a straightforward practice test for first year chemistry learners. Responders balance equations, identify types of reactions, represent electron configurations, and solve stoichiometry problems. Keep this handy to use as...

It's electronic! Pupils uncover elements and their electron configurations as they explore mass, groupings, correct charges, and sliding theory. Young scientists learn creative ways to remember various elements and correctly...

In this elements worksheet, students use the electron filling order shown to write the electron configuration for given elements. This worksheet has 10 problems to solve.

A periodic table of elements and ten accompanying questions comprise this chemistry handout. Learners survey the table to discover the relationship between group columns and valence electrons. They also associate energy levels to the...

In this electron configuration learning exercise, students fill in 10 blanks with the appropriate terms, they determine if 6 statements are true or false, they match 5 terms with their meanings and they answer two questions about...

A flashy PowerPoint includes clear summaries of atomic structure and electronic configuration. Dot and cross diagrams will help viewers learn how to draw an atom. As a result, learners should be more clear how electronic configuration...

A huge collection of slides introduces chemistry learners to the periodic table of elements, electron configuration, and electronegativity. It opens with the history of today's periodic table, and then details the arrangement. After...

In this electron arrangement activity, students complete two graphic organizers by determining the proton number of given elements from their first ionization energy. Then, they plot graphs of the first ionization energy against the...
