# Learning Targets:
1
I can define and differentiate between atoms, isotopes, cations, and anions, and
discuss how each is formed.
2
I can identify the 3 subatomic particles, and describe them in terms of location and
charge.
3
I am able to construct accurate Bohr models and Lewis Dot diagrams of atoms.
4
I can determine an ion’s charge by evaluating the number of protons and electrons
it contains.
5
I can use the periodic table to identify the number of protons, neutrons, and
electrons in an atom.
6
I can use the periodic table to identify key information about elements including
atomic number, atomic mass, elemental symbol, and most commonly occurring
ions.
7
I am able to discuss relative milestones and the scientists who contributed in the
development of atomic theory.
8
I can explain the organization of the periodic table and identify similar properties
of elements given their location in the table.
