Atomic Theory
The First Unit of Chemistry is Atomic Theory
The following standards will be covered in this Unit:
- CHEM.A.2.1.1. - Atomic Theory And Models - Describe the evolution of atomic theory leading to the current model of the atom based on the works of Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr.
- CHEM.A.2.1.2. - Isotopes And Mass Number - Differentiate between the mass number of an isotope and the average atomic mass of an element.
- CHEM.A.2.2.1. - Electron Configuration - Predict the ground state electronic configuration and/or orbital diagram for a given atom or ion.
- CHEM.A.2.2.2. - Characteristics Of Atoms And Ions - Predict characteristics of an atom or an ion based on its location on the periodic table (e.g., number of valence electrons, potential types of bonds, reactivity).
