Electron Configuration Bingo
Activity
Introduction
The wave-mechanical model of the atom states that the exact position of an electron at any
given moment cannot be determined. Instead, electrons are located in clouds outside the
nucleus. These clouds are described by energy level and type of sublevel. An electron
configuration may be written to identify the placement of electrons in these levels and sublevels.
Objective
1. Determine electron configurations for given elements.
2. Identify elements given their electron configurations.
Materials: (per student)
1 bingo card
25 bingo markers
1 periodic table
Procedure
1. Choose 25 elements from the provided list.
2. On your bingo card, fill in each box with either the symbol of the chosen element or
its electron configuration. DO NOT WRITE BOTH.
3. Your teacher or his/her designee will call out either the electron configuration or an
element.
4. From the question, determine either the element or the electron configuration. Mark
your card appropriately. For example, if the question is “Oxygen”, you may mark your
card only if you have 1s22s22p4. If the question is “1s22s22p6”, you may mark your card
only if you have Ne.
5. The winner of the game is the first person to have 5 squares in a row marked.
