Cycle A - Practice Set (Electronic Configuration)

• At least a paragraph reflection that describes the types of problems you really understood and why.  Give at least one example.
• I really understood electronic structure the configuration of the different elements on the Periodic Table (Ex: Cl being 1s22s22p63s23p5). I also understand how Ionization Energy and Atomic Radius differ. In addition, the periodic trends and the graphs produced.
• At least a paragraph reflection that describes the types of problems you struggled with and why. Give at least one example.
• I am still a bit confused with Coulomb’s law and how to use it to define my answer. I also need to work on determining the values of each peak for the graphic view in the Photoelectron Spectroscopy. I also get confused when multiple elements end up having the same number of electrons in a question (Ex: P, Ar3+, Al2-).
• At least one picture of something you did in class during the week with a description of the picture.
• This is the picture of our group’s Electronic Configuration activity on the “Explore Day.” This activity showed me how energy levels and shielding worked before actually learning them later on in the week. As atomic radius increased, Ionization Energy decreases and vice versa.
