CQ 8







Determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom.
Interpret various chemical symbol notations
Location of the subatomic particles
Similarities of atoms of the same element
Compare the mass and charge of the subatomic particles
Explain why an atom is neutral
Describe what makes isotopes of the same element different and how they are similar
CQ 9



Identify the factors that affect the average atomic mass
Calculate average atomic mass
Units used to measure average atomic mass
CQ 10




Describe the relationship between:
o Frequency and wavelength
o Frequency and energy
How does the energy of an electron change as it gets farther from the nucleus?
In the Bohr model what happens when:
o An electron drops to a lower energy level?
o An electron jumps to a higher energy level?
Apply:
o Speed of Light = frequency x wavelength
o Energy = Planck’s constant x frequency
