Journal Entry:

 What happens when an metal atom loses electrons? What happens when a cation gains electrons?

Learning Intentions

• We will learn about the process of electroplating. 

• We will learn what happens to atoms and electrons during electroplating. 

Closing Task:

You can set up an electroplating apparatus and plate a metal strip with a different metal.

Content Standards being covered:

Students can use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.

Student understands why bonding occurs between atoms, what types of bonds form when different elements interact, how the bonds form and properties that arise as result of the bond forming.
