Atomic Models & Nuclear Fission
Atomic Models & Nuclear Fission
Chemistry Standards
SC1.a Evaluate the merits and limitations of different models of the atom in relation to the relative size, charge, and position of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom.
Learning Targets
I can identify the different models of the atom. (Knowledge)
I can describe the contributions of Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr to the understanding of the atom. (Knowledge)
I can distinguish the relative size, charge, and position of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. (Knowledge)
I can explain the merits and limitations of the Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr, and current model of the atom. (Reasoning)
I can evaluate the merits and limitations of different models of the atom in relation to the relative size, charge, and position of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom. (Reasoning)
Look at the images shown to the right. Jot down any similarities and differences that you see between the two images.
Please make sure to upload your notes or summary activity to google classroom in order to receive credit for the instruction.
Students can handwrite or type their own notes or make a copy of the Google Slides and edit the presentation.

Part 1: Look back and the images from the opener
Which atomic model does each image most likely represent?
For each image what does each colored circle represent (black, red, white, and blue)?
How could these models be improved to represent our current understanding of the atom?
Part 2
How and where are most elements created?
During the process of nuclear fusion, what are two things that are always produced?
How is nuclear fission different than fusion?
How is nuclear fission similar to nuclear fusion?
Make sure to upload the answers to the questions above and your video notes to google classroom.
