Learning Intentions

• You can analyze how the structure of the atomic model has changed over time by examining the various models to create a drawing of each model and then determine the explanation for the model, the evidence that supported the model and what caused it to no longer be accepted.

• You can identify different forms of light that are used to understand electronic structure in an atom.

Content Standards being covered:

Student understands the structure of matter at the atomic level and the history that lead to our current understanding.

Student understand the quantum mechanical atomic model that describes the structure of an atom and changes that can occur to that structure.
68. Elements, when excited with enough energy, will emit their own atomic emission spectrum, a unique set of frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum due to the transition of electrons from a higher to a lower energy state
69. The electromagnetic spectrum is the broad range of frequencies emitted through electromagnetic radiation
