Learning Targets
I can:

describe the Bohr model and the electron cloud model of the atom.

identify an element if given a periodic table and an atomic number.

determine how many valence electrons are in a representative (main-group) element by: Lewis dot structure, electron configuration, or locating its
column on the periodic table.

describe the s, p, d, f atomic orbitals in terms of shape and number of electrons held.

identify the s, p, d, f blocks of atoms in the periodic table.

write electron configurations for the first 20 elements (including noble gas core notation).

recognize that when electrons change energy levels they absorb or release energy by moving between the ground and excited states.

describe the quantization of energy through the behavior of electrons changing energy levels that correspond to specific amounts of energy.

compare and contrast the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of wavelength, frequency, and energy, and relate them to
phenomena and applications.
