I. OBJECTIVES
The learners demonstrate an understanding of the structure of an atom and the
A. Content Standards
formula and the name of compounds.
The learners shall be able to recognize and differentiate atoms, molecules and
B. Performance Standards
ions.
At the end of the lesson, the learners differentiate among atomic numbers, mass
number and isotopes and which of these distinguishes one element from another.

IV. PROCEDURES
Ask the learners to recall the particles contained in an atom (or the
subatomic particles) and differentiate the particles in terms of
location, charge and relative mass by filling up the table.
A. Reviewing previous
lesson or presenting the
new lesson PARTICLE LOCATION CHARGE RELATIVE MASS

B. Establishing a purpose
for the lesson Look at the periodic table. What have you seen in the periodic table of elements?
