Lesson 2: Electron Configurations
Primary Learning Goal
I can draw electron-energy level diagrams, full electron configurations, and shorthand electron configurations for atoms and ions, and use these configurations to explain ionic charges, anomalies, paramagnetism, and bonding.
Work
1. Read section 3.5 in the textbook.
2. In-class lecture “Electron Configurations” (slides). Here are the completed examples from the slides.
3. Do these practice questions.
4. Check your solutions and review as needed.
