I can define an atom.
I can describe the modern view of the atom.
I can explain how the atomic model has changed
as new discoveries have occurred.
I know the experiments used by scientists that led
to the understanding of the atom.
I can state the masses, charges, and locations of
the three subatomic particles.
I can use the periodic table to determine the
number of protons, neutrons, and electrons, atomic
mass, mass number, and symbol for any element.
I can define the term isotope.
I can determine the number of protons, neutrons,
and electrons present in different isotopes of an
element.
I can calculate the average atomic mass for an
element when given isotope data.

particles (including mass number and atomic
number)

I can define the term half-life.
I can determine how much of a sample will remain
after a given number of half-lives when provided the
half-life and original sample size.
I can explain the difference between fission and
fusion.
I can explain what a mole is used for in chemistry.
I can determine the molar mass for an element or
compound.
I can perform mole to mass to particle conversions,
using molar masses from the periodic table.
