Electronic configuration and atomic structure Drag & Drop

(0)
A Drag & Drop exercise for building up the electronic structure of atoms. After a short cartoon for building up an atom of calcium, students build up four atoms by drag and drop. Could be used projected on the whiteboard or by students individually at computers. Double click on the full atomic structure.html file and it will open in your browser. I made it big for projection, but it can be made smaller by zooming out using the browser zoom control. A preview is available on my web site Please note: in order to provide a rich interactive experience, my drag & drop resources are mini-web sites local to your computer.

This is an HTML5 version of my Electronic configuration and the Periodic Table activity (no flash plugin is required) Double click on the periodic table.html file et voila… . drag the electronic configurations to the correct elements. This provides an excellent understanding of the layout of the periodic table and its basis in electronic structure. Can be used many times, say as AFL on the whiteboard. It can be previewed on my web site. (pleas note: I made it big for projection, but if it’s too big or small, simply zoom in or out with the browser zoom control.)

An explanation of paper chromatography in a movie, with voiceover. In this animation, the dyes don’t smear, so students can see what is meant to happen, rather than what really does.

Burning ethane. If I burn 10g of ethane, how much carbon dioxide will I get? A simple powerpoint show. Two slightly different approaches are illustrated, , you could use either or both ( I have now corrected the error in the equation.)
