Strengthen your students’ grasp of the atom and electronic configurations with these models and strategies
A solid foundation in atomic structure, including the roles of subatomic particles and the evolution of different atomic models, is crucial for understanding more complex chemical concepts. Explore key concepts students need for this topic, from electron shells and energy levels to the behaviour of electrons, ways to address common misconceptions about atomic structure, practical teaching strategies, and resources. Learners will benefit from clear explanations and a deeper understanding of the fundamental building blocks of matter.
