Electron Configuration and Periodic Properties Project
Assignment:
Identify properties of elements in order to recognize patterns of the periodic table.
Purpose:
To examine the electron configuration properties of elements on the periodic table and identify trends that occurs within the periodic table.
Procedure:
1.) Each student will work in a group to research selected topics on electron configurations and periodic
properties.
2.) Groups will need to research the assigned topics.
3.) Groups need to identify the important concepts of electron configuration and periodic properties.
4.) Groups need to create an outline of the information, an outline of the presentation, and a presentation of
the concepts for the class.
5.) Groups will present their information to the rest of the class in order to have all students learn/review the
concepts of the chapters.
