Standard: Show Content Tip
1d Students know that each element is made of one kind of atom and that the elements are organized in the periodic table by their chemical properties.
Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
Pages 216-221 and 224-225 provide moderate coverage of this standard.
See the CONTENT TIP for this standard for additional resources on the periodic table. The periodic table is organized by atomic number which relates to the number of protons in the atom's nucleus. If you do not want to emphasize the names of subatomic particles, you can simply say that the atomic number increases as one goes from left to right or as one moves line by line down the periodic table top to bottom, and that atomic number refers to the number of parts inside the atom. |
Aspects that help student learning:
Comparing neon, nitrogen and oxygen (page 220) illustrates how pure elements can exist as single atoms or molecules.
Aspects that do not help student learning:
Text provides limited discussion of the columns in the periodic table.
