Other Content Videos
These videos are NOT required, but do offer a different perspective on the topic if that helps!
TheScienceClassroom.org - Spends a lot of time discussing the different rules and why they are important. Great detail. You can skip over the section about creating the order of orbitals for the Aufbau Principle. Examples at the end.
chemistNATE - A low-tech approach. Great job discussing the rules in clear/straight forward way. Good examples with a discussion of common mistakes.
Brian Cox - The Pauli Exclusion Principle has huge implications for how matter and our universe works. Dr. Cox takes a bigger picture approach to discussing what some of these grander implications are. Very interesting, but not something you would see on a test.
Written Content
Written Content
The links below are sites with written descriptions of this content. Some prefer to learn from reading rather than watching. If that helps you these resources can be useful!
KentChemistry - Another science teacher's perspective. Goes through the filling process in a lot of detail with great examples.
Pathways to Chemistry - I like this one a lot! Very clear, step-by-step, with lots of great diagrams to summarize the thinking process! Check it out!
LibreTexts - more great info from Libre Texts. Great online textbook with a clear discussion of how to fill box diagrams!
Resources
Blank Box Diagram - This doc has a preformed box diagram that you can fill in with the appropriate number of electrons for your atom/ion. You need to this in order to complete these types of electron configs!!
Class Practice
Draw a Box Diagram for any 10 elements on the periodic table. Here are the rules:
They have to be 10 different elements
4 of them must have a charge other than zero. Use one of the available charges on your PT
All 10 diagrams must end in a different orbital.
Write out a SHORTHAND version of a box diagram for any 10 element on the periodic table. Rules:
They have to be 10 different elements from the Box Diagrams you did.
4 of them must have a charge other than zero. Use one of the available charges on your PT
Either watch this vid (first half) OR talk to Mr. Kiefer about how to do these configs.
Write out a Nobel Gas Configuration for any 10 element on the periodic table. Rules:
They have to be 10 different elements from the Box Diagrams you did.
4 of them must have a charge other than zero. Use one of the available charges on your PT
Either watch this vid (second half) OR talk to Mr. Kiefer about how to do these configs.
Lab Activity
That Practice was long enough! NO lab activity!
Mastery Quiz
Mastery Quiz
To prove mastery of this topic you will need to take a quiz on Schoology. Here are the guidelines:
You must show me all the completed work for this section BEFORE you you can start attempts on this quiz.
You can use any notes, practice, or prior quiz attempts to help you complete the quiz.
You can use ANY class resources like a calculator, your periodic table, or any other reference materials
You have UNLIMITED attempts to take this quiz, but after 4 tries you will need to take a paper version with me in class.
You should only need 2-3 tries for each quiz. If it takes more than that you should be reaching out for help!
You CANNOT work with others on the quizzes
