Big Ideas
- The arrangement of electrons in atoms and trends in the periodic table determine the properties and behaviors of elements during chemical reactions.
- Chemical reactions can be explained and predicted by understanding patterns in electron configurations and chemical properties.
Essential Questions
- How does the arrangement of electrons in atoms influence chemical reactions?
- What patterns in the periodic table can help predict the outcomes of chemical reactions?
- How can knowledge of periodic trends and outer electron states be used to explain chemical properties?
- In what ways can explanations for chemical reactions change with new evidence?
- Why is the periodic table useful as a model for predicting element behavior?
