Unit 1: Atomic Structure and Properties
1.1 Moles and Molar Mass
1.2 Mass Spectra of Elements
- I can use the mass spectrum of a single element to determine the identity and relative abundance of its isotopes.
- I can estimate the average atomic mass of an element from the weighted average of its isotopic masses and relative abundances.
1.3 Elemental Composition of Pure Substances
1.4 Composition of Mixtures
1.5 Atomic Structure and Electron Configuration
1.6 Photoelectron Spectroscopy
1.7 Periodic Trends
- I can qualitatively explain periodic trends using Coulomb's law, the shell model, shielding, and effective nuclear charge.
1.8 Valence Electrons and Ionic Compounds
