Atomic Structure

The lesson plan aims to teach students about atomic structure by having them synthesize information about elements from their proton numbers, nucleon numbers, and symbolic representations. Students will complete two worksheets to determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons from elemental data, and to represent elements using symbolic notation. Example problems are worked through to demonstrate determining elemental properties from symbolic representations like 23Na11 and writing statements that can be derived from symbols like 199F9.
