Unit 1 Planner: Atomic Structure and the Elements

Name ______________________________________________ Date _________________

Honors Chemistry

Essential Question: What is the structure of the atom and how do we describe elements?
Chapter 4 Sections 4.1 4.3 (omit 4.4) Essential Objectives: Students will describe the structure of the atom. Students will differentiate between atoms, isotopes, and ions. Section 6.1 Essential Objective: Students will understand the construction and organization of the periodic table.

Chapter 6

The 1-5 scale is a self-evaluation on each objective based on your comfort level and assessment results (1 = No Understanding, 5 = Totally Mastered)

Unit Objectives
4a 4b 4c 4d 4e 4f 4g
Compare and contrast the atomic models of Democritus, Aristotle, and Dalton Describe the experiments of Thomson, Millikan, and Rutherford. Describe the structure of the atom, including the locations, relative masses, and charges of subatomic particles Explain the importance of atomic number Define and determine the subatomic particles in an isotope Define and determine the subatomic particles in an ion Write an appropriate isotopic symbol for an atom or ion
