Atoms


 * Atom, Compounds, Molecule Research Assignment**
 * **View** Table of Elements
 * **Read** Atoms and Elements (BBC)
 * **Read** about atoms and molecules on Fact Monster
 * On your Atom wiki page include**
 * 1) Crete a wiki page named **Atom Code Name.**
 * 2) On your page, provide the definitions of the following terms in your own words: atom, proton, neutron, electron, nucleus, atomic number, atomic weight, atomic symbol.
 * 3) You will be assigned an atom to **research**. Go to **Fact Monster** Find the atomic number, atomic weigh and symbol of the atom. Find what atoms it combines with to form compounds. Describe the properties of the atom. Describe the properties of a compound that the atom might form.
 * 4) Find the electronic configuration of the atom. (example: electronic configuration for copper is 2 · 8 · 18 · 1)
 * 5) Using the information from Fact Monster, **draw** a picture of the atom using Tux Paint to show the number and location of the protons, neutrons and electrons. Use a P to mark the location of the Protons. Label the electrons. Write the name of the atom and the atomic symbol. Enter the atomic number. **Save** this picture in TuxPaint. Then **upload** the picture to your Atom wiki page.


 * Wiki Page Summary** - Each wiki page should have the vocabulary and definitions, the picture of the atom that you created, a summary from Ghosts and Atoms.
