Chemistry SLO Review Standard 3

SC3 Students will use the modern atomic theory to explain the characteristics of atoms.
a. Discriminate between the relative size, charge, and position of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
b. Use the orbital configuration of neutral atoms to explain its effect on the atoms chemical properties.
c. Explain the relationship of the proton number to the elements identity.
d. Explain the relationship of isotopes to the relative abundance of atoms of a particular element.
e. Compare and contrast types of chemical bonds (i.e. ionic, covalent).
f. Relate light emission and the movement of electrons to element identification
