Target 18 - Explain the trends of ionization energy of various atoms on the periodic table.
A. As you move down a group, the ionization energy ____________________.
B. Why? As you move down a group, the atomic size increases – this creates a lot of space between the nucleus
and the electrons. Therefore, it is easier to remove an electron.
Notes – why does atom get larger as you move down periodic table
C. As you move across a period – from left to right, the ionization energy increases.
D. Why? As you move across a period – from left to right – the atomic size decreases. This creates less space
between the nucleus and the electrons. Therefore it is harder to remove an electron.
Notes – why does atom get smaller as you move across the periodic table from left to right.

Below this line, some targets have been postponed – may not need to include them as they are not mentioned on
NGSS
Define diatomic and explain how the radius (size) of an element can be calculated.
A. It is difficult to measure the size of an atom because the outer boundary is made of electrons flying
around the nucleus.
B. The current theory of atoms is that they are spherical in shape.
C. Some atoms are diatomic – which means two atoms of the same element bond together.
D. There are seven common diatomic elements. H2, O2, N2 ,F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
E. The diagram below lists the radii of the seven common diatomic elements
F. Because two atoms of the same element must be the same size, the size of an atom can be calculated
by knowing the distance between the two nuclei.
G. The size of an atom is measured by its radius.
H. Atomic radius is one half of the distance between the nuclei of two atoms of the same element when
the atoms are joined.
I. The atomic radius is measured in picometers(pm)
J. One picometer is one trillionth of a meter (10-12 meters or 0.00000000001 meters)
K. For example, the distance between the nuclei in an iodine molecule (I2) is 280 pm, therefore the
radius of one iodine atom is 140 pm.
Notes - have students recreate the drawing in yellow above with the 2 circles and the distance showing the
radius.
L. If you know the radius of a sphere, you can calculate the volume(size).
M. Remember from earlier that the volume of a sphere can be calculated with this formula 4/3πr3
N. The volume of each element is not important in this class – you may choose to calculate that on your
own time.
O. The important thing to realize is that the radius of an atom is proportional to its size (volume).
Questions
1. What is a trend? __________________________________________________________________
2. Why is it difficult to measure the size of an atom? _______________________________________
3. What shape are most atoms? _____________________
4. What is meant by diatomic? _________________________________________________________
5. List 3 examples of diatomic atoms? ___________________________________________________
6. How can we measure the size of an atom? ______________________________________________
7. If the distance between 2 nuclei of Hydrogen atoms is 60 pm, what is the radius of a hydrogen atom? _____
8. If you wanted to calculate the volume of an atom, what formula would you use? _________
9. What is another name for size? _________________
Explain the trends of the atomic radius of various atoms on the periodic table.
A. Moving down the periodic table
1. As you move down vertically on the periodic table in a group, the atomic radius INCREASES.
2. Why? As you go down the periodic table, the number of energy levels increase.
3. Example 1: Potassium has 4 energy levels and Sodium has 3 energy levels – therefore potassium
is a larger atom than sodium.
Down Notes – give examples of hydrogen, helium, sodium,…..
B. Moving across the periodic table
1. As you move across a period from left to right, the atomic radius DECREASES.
2. Why? As you go across the periodic table, the atomic number increases by one proton.
3. Remember that one proton has a charge of +1…As the charge of the nucleus increases as you
move across a period, it creates a stronger pull on the electrons.
4. This stronger pull of electrons draws them in closer to the nucleus, and therefore causes overall
size of the atom to decrease.
Across Notes – give examples of Li, Be, B, C, N, O
Questions
1. What is the trend for atomic radius as you move vertically down the periodic table? ___________________
2. Why? _________________________________________________________________________________
3. What is the trend for atomic radius as you move horizontally across the periodic table from left to right?
____________________
4. Why? _________________________________________________________________________________
Define ion and explain how they are formed.
A. We learned earlier that the atomic number will tell you how many protons and electrons an atom will
contain.
B. This is true in some cases.
C. In most cases, elements will not have the same amount of protons as electrons.
D. Therefore, the atomic number does not give you an accurate count of electrons.
E. Sometimes atoms gain electrons and sometimes atoms lose electrons.
F. Ion – an atom with a different number of protons and electrons – resulting in an overall positive or
negative charge.
G. In other words, an atom with a charge is called an “ion” not an “atom”
H. When an atom loses electrons, it becomes positively charged – this is called a cation
I. When an atom gains electrons, it becomes negatively charged – this is called an anion.
Notes box – cation
Anion
Explain how ions can be different sizes than their component atoms.
A. Again - Atoms that have a charge (positive or negative) are called ions.
B. Ions will be of a different size than it’s component atom – why is this?
C. Example 1, when sodium loses an electron, it has more protons than electrons. Therefore the overall
electron cloud is pulled in closer to the nucleus – thus the size of the atom decreases. Illustrated below.
Notes box – Potassium
D. Example 2: When a chlorine atom gains an electron, it has more electrons than protons. Therefore the
overall electron cloud is released – just a little, from the nucleus – thus the size of the atom increases.
Illustrated below.
Notes box – Fluorine
E. Cation Trend – Cations are smaller than their component atoms. For example, a potassium cation is
smaller than a potassium atom.
F. Anion Trend – Anions are larger than their component atoms. For example, a fluorine anion is larger
than a fluorine atom.
Questions
1. Does the atomic number give an accurate count for electrons? __________
2. What is an ion? ____________________________________________________________________
3. What happens to the charge on an atom if it loses electrons? ______________________________
4. What happens to the charge on an atom if it gains electrons? ______________________________
5. What is a cation? ___________________________________
6. What is an anion? ___________________________________
7. Atoms and ions are the same size. True False
8. Why is a sodium atom larger than a sodium cation?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
9. Why is a chlorine atom smaller than a chlorine anion?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
10. What is the cation trend? ____________________________________________________________
11. What is the anion trend? ____________________________________________________________

Ideas – moved here 11-25
1. Once you get this all straight, print it out and create a vocab chart and crossword if time.
2. Give a quiz almost every day to check progress – each student can “advance” to a higher quiz once one level
has been learned.
3. Don’t forget to have students demonstrate patterns – like last year, take some students out of the room, bring
them in a certain order, and have class predict the pattern.
4. The octet rule must be taught before this chapter can be fully understood.
3. Learning targets are in bold - I use the same verbs a lot. Explain, identify, etc. Can you think of some
better verbs? Please help. In some cases could the verb “Predict and explain” be more appropriate?
“Evaluate”? “Analyze to identify” Remember, we don’t just want to come out and “tell” the kids, we
want to construct intentional questions to pose to them to get them to use the model to discover…
I THINK WHAT IS WRITTEN BELOW MEETS THE EXPECTATION OF HS PS1 1. MINUS SOME
ACTIVITY AND ENGAGEMENT. OPEN FOR SUGGESTIONS SOONER OR LATER
NGSS HS – PS1 – 1
Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of
electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms. [Clarification Statement: Examples of properties that could
be predicted from patterns could include reactivity of metals, types of bonds formed, numbers of bonds
formed, and reactions with oxygen.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to main group elements.
Assessment does not include quantitative understanding of ionization energy beyond relative trends.]
Also, (and I think you have based on what I have seen) use the foundation boxes that correspond to the
HS-PS-1 code for Practices, Core Ideas, and Concepts. Go to this link for the entire page. Once at the
link, you can also click each of these which are hyperlinked to the Science Framework for additional
clarification.
http://www.nextgenscience.org/hsps-spm-structure-properties-matter
Your targets do seem to go beyond students just learning the “WHAT/CORE IDEAS” and move them to
the “HOW/PRACTICES” and the “WHY/CROSS CUTTING CONCEPTS”. Ensure your activities
move students to discovering this content vs. you just telling them. I have seen where some of the
information on some of the “main elements” was placed on cards and students had to try to use the
information on each card to come up with some arrangement. (This is what Mendeleev did to eventually
get to the Table we have today). There were also gaps in his arrangement which ended up being some of
the elements that were later discovered. Remember, the goal of NGSS in this PE is for the students to be
engaged with the practices to discover the disciplinary core idea(s). Linda and Kathy may have some
additional ideas, here. Other practices can be utilized if appropriate to support the modeling, i.e.
communication of information, etc.
Lastly, to assist you in ensuring you feel you are aligned especially once you develop activities, review the
Appendix F, Models, 9-12 range, Appendix G, Patterns, and Appendix E, for PS-1. They are found
linked on the left side at this address http://www.nextgenscience.org/next-generation-science-standards
Predict the relative properties
1. reactivity of metals – fewer valence electrons in metals = more reactive
2. types of bonds formed – metals will form ionic bonds while nonmetals will form covalent bonds
3. numbers of bonds formed – for metals, can form as many bonds as electrons given up (or positive charge).
For covalent bonds, can form as many bonds as electrons needed to complete octet (or negative charge).
4. Reactions with oxygen – not sure – could use some input.
5. Basic trend of ionization energy
