Unit 08 Introduction to Atomic Theory
I understand that our understanding of science changes over time with the development of new observing and measuring technologies and continued experimentation.
“I can” Statements:
08-01 a: Explain how contributions made by the selected scientists changed the model of the atom.
08-01 b: Describe the model they designed including its strengths and limitations.
08-01 c: Explain why the atomic model has changed over time.
“I can” Statements:
08-02 a: Compare the charges, locations, and relative masses of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
08-02 b: Calculate the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a neutral atom using atomic number and mass number.
08-02 c: Use a model of the atom including protons, neutrons, and energy levels (not including f orbitals) to diagram a neutral atom.
08-02 d: Using the Periodic Table, write the four quantum numbers for an electron.
08-02 e: Write an electron configuration for a neutral atom
Target 08-03 The student will use symbols and names for elements and isotopes.
“I can” Statements:
08-03 a: Create and interpret isotope notation and hyphen notation for atoms.
08-03 b: Create and interpret atom models for different isotopes.
08-03 c: Explain how an atom’s mass is determined (includes the definition of amu)
08-03 d: Explain the difference between the mass of an average atom and a specific nucleus.
“I can” Statements:
08-04 a: Use the Standard Model to describe the particles that make up the parts of the atom. (Quarks, Leptons, Force Carrier Particles)
08-04 b: Describe how each of the Four Fundamental Forces affect our everyday experiences. (Gravity, Electromagnetic, Strong Nuclear, and Weak Nuclear)
08-04 c: Rate the relative strengths and distances of action for the Four Fundamental Forces.
“I can” Statements:
08-05 a: Using dimensional analysis and funneling down, convert an amount in moles to grams.
08-05 b: Using dimensional analysis and funneling down, convert an amount in grams to moles.
08-05 c: Express answers with complete units including measurement unit and chemical ID.
08-05 d: Explain the difference between Avogadro’s number and molar mass.
Targets that are reemphasized:
Target 02-03 Use math and graphs to analyze data.
Target 06-02 Use the alphabet of chemistry to name elements and write their symbols.
