Can you draw and label an atom by following these statements?
-An atom is made up of three smaller particles: protons, neutrons and electrons.
-The protons and neutrons are at the nucleus of the atom.
-The electrons are smaller, and circle the centre.
-The routes the electrons travel in are orbits.
-The proton has a positive charge.
-The electron has a negative charge.
-The neutron has no charge.
And go through these:
Video showing an electron cloud.
Video showing how electrons fit together in configurations.
The Chem4kids site on Atoms. Quiz on atomic structure.
Also:
Try the free trial on BrainPOP; see if the site is useful.
Read how to find numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons, at the Jefferson Lab.
At the same site, learn how to model an atom.
GCSE chemistry support with animations of electrons orbiting nucleus at purchon.com.
In other words, loads of stuff.
Read the Ellen McHenry chapter and try placing electrons on the Atom-izer with me. Ellen suggests using nuts as the electrons. This is a great idea and I totally recommend it.
