In this lab experience, students use an electron configuration concert analogy to learn and practice electron configuration. Students will master the electron filling order of the elements on the periodic table with this concert seating chart analogy. The concert floor plan clearly defines the orbitals and allowed electrons. Watch your students’ engagement and fascination with this activity.
Safety:
Before conducting the lab, review the safety precautions on the student page with the class. Then discuss any safety precautions that are specific to your science laboratory or classroom.
