Week 3-1: Atomic Structure, the Periodic Table, & Chemical Bonding

Lesson Synopsis This unit explores the structure shared by all atoms and how the Periodic Table describes the structure of each element’s atoms and can be used to classify elements based on their properties and predict chemical bonding between atoms of different elements.

Key Concepts:

·  Chemistry is the study of matter and its interactions.

·  Atoms of all elements have the same basic atomic structure—nucleus, electron cloud, protons, electrons, and neutrons.

·  The Periodic Table describes the structure of each element’s atoms.

·  The physical and chemical behavior of an element is related to its placement on the periodic table.

·  The periodic table helps us to determine which elements will bond with others to form compounds.
