This two-week power session focuses on the interplay of energy forms and their role in understanding atomic behavior. This intensive course will cover a range of energy concepts, including kinetic energy, potential energy, Coulomb's law, work, the first law of thermodynamics, unit analysis of energy units, electromagnetic forces of attraction, gravitational force, Newton's first law, and Bohr's Hydrogen Model. 0.10 HS credits in NH

Suitable for Advanced chemistry and honors chemistry.

Coulomb’s Law(forces of attraction and repulsion), atomic size (atomic radius), ionic size, electronegativity ,ionization energy, metallic character, electron affinity, effective nuclear charge (Zeff), core electron shielding, exceptions to periodic trends.

Objectives: The objective of this course is for students to have a deeper understanding of periodic trends based on Coulombic forces and the electronic structure of atoms. Students should be able to support general periodic trends based on effective nuclear charge and core electron shielding, rather than rely on rote memorization. 0.25 HS credits in NH

Key concepts/topics covered:

Particles behaving like waves,

Wave behavior, DeBroglie’s equation(particle wave duality), Heisenburg,Schrodinger,quantum numbers,Pauli Exclusion Principle, Aufbau Principle, Hund’s Rule, electron configurations, orbital diagrams.

Objective: In this power session we take a deeper dive into the quantum mechanical model using the scientific principles provided by its contributors in order for students to have a more thorough understanding of electron configurations. Subsequently, students will have the proper foundation for understanding periodic trends without memorization and be able to use the periodic table as the tool it is intended to be. 0.25 HS credits in NH.
