MYP 9

Unit 2: The structure of atoms


Requirements Activities
Students should:

- recognise the three sub-atomic particles and their positions within the atom.

- be able to calculate the number of sub-atomic particles given the mass and atomic numbers¨ appreciate the existance of isotopes and their everyday uses.

- understand the relationship between the layout of the periodic table and the sub-atomic structure

- recognise that the electronic configuration gives rise to chemical activity

- recognise that the electronic structure determines the nature of the element
