Virginia SOL CHII.2

Investigate and understand that atoms can be identified by their electron distribution and energy.

Study CHII.2 with SOL PrepBack to Chemistry II Advanced Survey

What students need to be able to do

  • Describe how the quantum mechanical model illustrates the current understanding of the atom.
  • Develop and use a model to explain electron distribution.
  • Develop and use a model to explain the emission and absorption spectra of atoms.
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about how spectra can be used to identify elements.
