Properties of the Elements

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...

Although the directions say to view a PowerPoint, it is not necessary in order to complete this assignment. Six fill in the blank questions survey the periodic table of elements. A chart follows in which, given the element symbol, young...

Here is a top-notch handout to supply your chemistry class with. It covers valence electrons, Lewis diagrams, the octet rule, and more! Technically it is less of a worksheet than a detailed explanation of these chemical bonding concepts....

After drawing the valence electron distribution of 13 basic elements, there are spaces to draw 18 more complicated molecules.  For each molecule, there is space for a Dot structure and Lewis structure that best describes the...

Cute manga style animated Aya is your host for this short but good explanation of valence electrons and forming ions. She explains how to know whether to add or subtract electrons when ions are forming. Note: The voice work is a little...

Learn how the group number relates to the number of valence electrons in the main group elements on the Periodic Table. [8:18]

Identify the number of valence electrons of given elements.

A short assessment to see if you understand valence electrons in specific elements.

Build on your scholars' basic understanding of valence electrons by showing them how to use valence electrons to predict formations of ionic bonds. The informative video includes an explanation of how lattice energy attributes...

This is a tremendous overview of the tiny atom. Journey through the history of human understanding of this basic building block of matter. Examine each of the sub-atomic particles in detail: neutrons, protons, electrons, quarks. Peruse...
