Students look more deeply into the structure of the atom and play a game to better understand the relationship between protons, neutrons, electrons, and energy levels in atoms and their location in ...

As you move from left to right across the periodic table, atoms have more electrons in their outer energy level and more protons in their nucleus. The greater attraction between the increased ...

Electrons in atoms occupy energy levels, also called electron shells, outside the nucleus. Different shells can hold different maximum numbers of electrons. The electrons in an atom occupy the ...

Players read questions about energy levels and score points by picking the correct element as the answer. Electrons are in regions around the nucleus that are different distances away from the nucleus ...
