Model of the Atom

By almacd13 on June 17, 2014

The model of the atom is explored by looking at role and placement of electrons, protons and neutrons in an atom. Questions get students to practice drawing Rutherford-Bohr models of the atom. The role that the gain and loss of electrons have in chemical reactions is also explored which leads to an conclusion about the stability of a full valence electron shell.
