Lesson Guide in Science Grade 9

With the pictures posted above let the students answer the following
questions:
o Do you know the persons in the picture?
(Answers may vary)
o What do you think are their occupations?
(Fortune Tellers)
o What do fortune tellers do?
(Give some predictions)
o Do their predictions always come true?
(Not all the time)

Fortune tellers tell about probabilities.

What is PROBABILITY?
Probability is the measure of the likelihood that an event will
occur (Webster).

This time we are going to work on probability. We will be


predicting the probable location of electrons in an atom.
You have learned in your previous activity “Flame test” that
metal salts emit colors when heated. These colors emitted by the metal
salts are related to the structure of atom as explained by Neils’ Bohr.
The way around the problem with Bohr’s model is that it is insufficient
to describe atoms with more than 1 electron. In our next activity, we will
use an analogy to understand the probability of finding an electron in
an atom.

VII. Activity:
Title: Predicting the Probable Location of an Electron
Reference: Teacher’s Guide: pp. 7-9; Learner’s Guide: pp 9-14
Procedure:
- Let students work in pairs if there are enough materials. Felt-tipped
marker is preferable than pencil.
- The teacher should demonstrate how the activity will be done. The
center of the circle represents the atom’s nucleus and it is the target
when dropping the pencil or marker. The dots represent the
electrons.

1. Working with your group mates, draw a dot on the center of the
sheet of paper or folder.
2. Draw 5 concentric circles around the dot so that the radius of
each circle is 1cm, 3 cm, 5 cm, 7 cm and 9 cm from the dot.

Quarter 2 Module 1 4
Lesson Guide in Science Grade 9

3. Tape the paper on the floor so that it will not move.


4. Stand on the opposite side of the target from your partner.(Target
is the center which represent the nucleus of an atom). Hold a pencil
or marker at chest level above the center of the circles you have
drawn.
5. Take turns dropping the pencil or marker so that it will leave 100
dots on the circles drawn on paper or folder.
6. Count the number of dots in each circle and record that number
on the data table.
7. Calculate the number of dots per square centimeter (cm 2).
8. Using a graphing paper, plot the average distance from the
center on the x-axis and number of dots per sq.cm on the y-axis.

Guide Questions:
1. What happens to the number of dots per unit area as the
distance of the dots go farther from the center?
2. Determine the percent probability of finding a dot in each of the
circle drawn on the target by multiplying No. of dots /cm2 (column
D) by the total number of dots (100). For example: In circle 1(A)
Percent probability = No. of dots /cm2 X 100
= [0.1920 / 100 ] X 100 = 19.20%
3. Based on your graph, what is the distance with the highest
probability of finding a dot? Show this in your graph.
4. How many dots are found in the area where there is highest
probability of finding dots?
5. How are your results similar to the distribution of electrons in an
atom?
6. How many dots are found in the area where there is highest
probability of finding dots?
7. How are your results similar to the distribution of electrons in an
atom?
8. Can we determine the exact location of an electron in the atom?

VIII. Analysis:
1. What happens to the number of dots per unit area as the
distance of the dots go farther from the center?
(answers may vary)
2. Determine the percent probability of finding a dot in each of the
circle drawn on the target by multiplying No. of dots /cm2 (column
D) by the total number of dots (100). For example: In circle 1(A)
Percent probability = No. of dots /cm2 X 100
= [0.1920 / 100 ] X 100
= 19.20%
3. Based on your graph, what is the distance with the highest
probability of finding a dot? Show this in your graph.
(answers may vary)
4. How many dots are found in the area where there is highest
probability of finding dots?
(answers may vary)

Quarter 2 Module 1 5
Lesson Guide in Science Grade 9

5. How are your results similar to the distribution of electrons in an


atom?
(The results of the activity are similar to the structure of the atom
because the probability of finding an electron (dot) increases
abruptly then decreases as it goes farther from the nucleus
(target).
6. How many dots are found in the area where there is highest
probability of finding dots?
(There are three types of orbitals (s, p, and d) in the principal
energy level three.)
7. How are your results similar to the distribution of electrons in an
atom?
(There are five atomic orbitals in the highest sublevel of the
principal energy level three.)
8. Can we determine the exact location of an electron in the atom?
(There is only a probability that the electron can be found in a
certain volume in space around the nucleus. This volume or
region of space around the nucleus where the electron is most
likely to be found is called an atomic orbital. Thus, we could only
guess the most probable location of electrons)

IX. Abstraction:
Activity 2 is an analogy to show you that it is not possible to
know the exact position of the electron. So, Bohr’s idea that
electrons are found in definite orbits around the nucleus was
rejected. Three physicists led the development of a better model of
the atom. These were Louie de Broglie, Erwin Schrodinger, and
Werner Karl Heisenberg. De Broglie proposed that the electron
(which is thought of as a particle) could also be thought of as a
wave. Schrodinger used this idea to develop a mathematical
equation to describe the hydrogen atom. Heisenberg discovered
that for a very small particle like the electron, its location cannot be
exactly known and how it is moving. This is called the uncertainty
principle.
Instead, these scientists agreed on the same idea that there is
only a probability the electron
can be found in a certain volume in space around the nucleus. This
volume or region of space is what scientists call as atomic orbital.

X. Application:
How does the agreement between Broglie, Schrodinger and
Heisenberg about the probability of finding an electron in a certain
space around the nucleus affects the concept of atomic model of an
atom?
If you are to make an action and is uncertain of your decisions in
life, what do you usually do; “follow your own gut feeling” or “think and
ask others before you decide”? Explain your answer?

V. Preliminary Activity/Priming:
Flash a “fireworks display” video and let the students watch it.
Ask the following questions:
a. Is the fireworks display fascinating to watch?
(answers may vary)
b. What makes the fireworks display fascinating to watch?
(Students should answer “because of the different colors it
shows”)
c. What causes the fireworks display different colors?
(Students should be able to infer that there are chemicals
used in the fireworks display)
To further answer the question, let us perform an activity entitled
“Flame Test”.

VI. Activity:
Title: Flame Test
Reference: Teacher’s guide: pp. 4-6; Learner’s guide: pp. 5-9

` Procedure:
1. Group the students and check the materials to be used for the
activity
2. Distribute activity sheets and clarify procedures (include the safety
procedures to be observed while handling laboratory equipment and
chemicals)
3. Provide the students with rubrics in grading their laboratory activity
4. Let the students answer the guide questions listed in the activity and
report their laboratory activity in the class

Activity Proper
1. Place each metal salt on a watch glass and add 2 to 3 drops of 3
M hydrochloric acid.
2. Pour about 3 - 5 mL or enough ethyl alcohol to cover the size of a
1 peso-coin in the first watch glass. Light with a match and observe
the color of the flame. (This will serve as reference for comparison
of the flame color). Wait for the flame to be extinguished or put out
on its own.
3. Repeat procedure No. 2 for each salt. Observe the color of the
flame.

Quarter 2 Module 1 9
Lesson Guide in Science Grade 9

- Write your observation in a table similar to the one below.

Table 1. Color of Element Color of the flame


flame of metal producing color
salts Metal salt
tested
Boric acid boron
Calcium chloride calcium
Sodium chloride sodium
Potassium chloride potassium
Copper(II) sulfate copper

Guide Questions:
1. Why do you think there are different colors emitted?
2. What particles in the heated compounds are responsible for
the production of the colored light?
3. How did scientists explain the relationship between the
colors observed and the structure of an atom?

VII. Analysis:
1. As per stated by the findings of your laboratory activity,
metals salts which have compositions of metals like Boron,
Calcium, Copper, Sodium, and Potassium tend to emit
different colors when lighted by a flame.
2. Why do you think there are different colors emitted?
(Metal salts emitted color due to the absorption of heat from
the flame)
3. What particles in the heated compounds are responsible for
the production of the colored light?
4. The outermost particles (electrons) in the metallic element
are responsible for the production of colored light.
5. How does atom emit light?
6. When an electron absorbed extra energy from an outside
source (flame), the electron moves to a higher orbit. Colored
light is emitted when the electron falls back to a lower orbit.
7. And this is explained by Neil’s Bohr in his atomic orbital
model of an atom.
8. How did scientists explain the relationship between the
colors observed and the structure of an atom?
(The colors observed is an indication that definite energy
transformations occur inside the atom emitting light. It follows
that electrons must occupy orbits of fixed energy).

Quarter 2 Module 1 10
Lesson Guide in Science Grade 9

XIII. Abstraction:
1. Now look at the picture of Neil’s Bohr atomic orbital model. Bohr
discovered electrons as particles moving around the nucleus in
fixed circular orbits. It is something worth more precise
judgement than Ernest Rutherford’s model illustrating the
presence of a dense nucleus at the center of the atom. Neil’s
Bohr’s atomic orbital model had shown that there are particles
surrounding this dense nucleus. Each of which has their definite
distances from the nucleus. These circular orbits were also
called as energy levels. When an electron of an element
absorbed extra energy (from a flame or electric arc), this
electron moves to a higher energy level.
2. At this point the electron is at its excited state. Once excited, the
atom is unstable. The same electron can return to any of the
lower energy levels releasing energy in
the form of light with a particular color a nd a definite energy or
wavelength.
These energy absorbed through heat makes atom to be
quantized.

3. Which illustration below represents the energy of the electron as


described by Bohr? Explain your answer.
A. B.

- The energy levels of electrons are like the steps of a ladder. The
lowest step of the ladder corresponds to the lowest energy level. A person
can climb up and down by going from step to step. Similarly, the electrons can
move from one energy level to another by absorbing or releasing energy.
Energy levels in an atom are not equally spaced which mea ns that the
amount of energy is not the same. The higher energy levels are closer
together. If an electron occupies a higher energy level, it will take less
energy for it to move to the next higher energy level. As a result of the Bohr
model, electrons are described as occupying fixed energy levels at a certain
distance from the nucleus of an atom.

VI. Activity

Title: Analyzing Main energy levels, Sub levels and Orbitals


Reference: Not found on LG and TG (Proposed Activity)

Procedure:
You have learned in your previous activity the quantum
mechanical model of an atom that views an electron as a cloud of
negative charge having a certain geometrical shape. This model shows
how likely an electron could be found in various locations around t he
nucleus. This probable location of electron is coined as atomic orbital.
However, the model does not give any information about how the
electron are distributed around the nucleus.
Let us find out by doing the activity for today.

Lesson Guide in Science Grade 9

VIII. Abstraction:

Electrons occupy only definite energy levels with specific values.


Principal/Main energy levels are assigned principal quantum
numbers starting with 1 for the level with the lowest energy,
followed by 2 for the next higher, and so on. Each principal level
has sublevels. Principal energy level 1 has one sublevel; level 2
has two sublevels and so on. Sublevels are labeled s, p, d and f
corresponding to an atomic orbital type. Sublevel s is lowest in
energy, followed by the p sublevel, and so on. S sub level is
spherical shaped, p sub level is dumbbell shaped while d and f has
complex shapes. The s sublevel has only one atomic orbital; the p
sublevel, three atomic orbitals; the d sublevel, five atomic orbitals;
and the f sublevel, seven atomic orbitals. Each atomic orbital has a
full occupancy when filled with two electrons; thus, the s, p, d, and f
sublevels can take a maximum of 2, 6, 10, and 14 electrons,
respectively.

Now that you know the maximum numbers that energy levels,
sub levels and orbitals can hold. This time we are going to fill up each
one of them with electrons following the rules proposed by scientists.
In an atom, electrons and the nucleus interact to make the most
stable arrangement possible.
The way in which electrons are distributed in the different orbitals
around the nucleus of an atom is called ELECTRON
CONFIGURATION.

Activity:

Title: Rules in Electron Configuration


Reference: Not found on LG and TG (Proposed Activity)

- Since the objective of this activity is identifying rules in electron
configuration, let the students have some information about the rules
proposed by Neil’s Bohr, Friedrich Hund and Wolfgang Pauli.

Guide Questions
1. Did you observe some patterns in writing electronic
configuration?
2. What patterns did you see?

VI. Analysis:
Pre Analysis
(Analysis of the guide questions in the activity)
1. Did you observe some patterns in writing electronic
configuration?
- (Yes)
2. What patterns did you see?
- An orbital has a maximum of two opposite spins.
(represented by arrows up and down)
- An orbital in the same sublevel is filled with one spin before
pairing.
- Filling the orbitals with electron starts from the lowest
energy level to
the highest energy level. (1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d
5p…)

Post Analysis
1. Element Helium (He) has 2 electrons since it has an atomic
number 2. How many electron does its 1s orbital have?
- 2 (An orbital can hold a maximum of 2 numbers of
electrons)
2. Boron (B) has 5 electrons. How are these electrons arranged
in their orbitals?
- lowest energy level is filled up with electrons first before the
higher energy level
3. Element Nitrogen (N) has how many electrons in its 2p sub
level? How are these electrons arranged in its 2p orbital?
- The 3 orbitals of the 2p sub level are filled up with one
electrons each.

Quarter 2 Module 1 20
Lesson Guide in Science Grade 9

VIII. Abstraction:

Electron configuration shows patterns like


- Sublevels are labeled s, p, d and f corresponding to an atomic
orbital type. Sublevel s is lowest in energy, followed by the p
sublevel, and so on.
- The s sublevel has only one atomic orbital; the p sublevel,
three atomic orbitals; the d sublevel, five atomic orbitals; and the f
sublevel, seven atomic orbitals.
- Each atomic orbital has a full occupancy when filled with two
electrons; thus, the s, p, d, and f sublevels can take a maximum of
2, 6, 10, and 14 electrons respectively.
- Electrons normally occupy the lowest available energy level.
An atom with two electrons would have both electrons in the 1s
sublevel of principal energy level 1. Another with five electrons
would have two electrons in the 1s sublevel, two electrons in the 2s
sublevel and one electron in the 2p sublevel. Single electrons must
occupy each equal-energy orbital before additional electrons can
occupy the same orbitals.
- Electrons can be thought of “obeying” three basic rules when it
comes to their location within an atom. Match the following rules
with the answers that you have given in the previous questions.
Example. Your answer in Post Analysis question no 1 matches
the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Write the answer on the opposite
column in the table below.

Rule Matches
which letter?
Hund’s Rule
Single electrons must occupy
each equal-energy orbital before
additional electrons can occupy the
same orbitals.
Pauli Exclusion Principle
A maximum of two electrons may
occupy a single orbital.
The Aufbau Principle
Each electron occupies the lowest
energy orbital
first before the higher energy orbitals.

IX. Application:
For reflection, ask the students these questions:
a. In what places are there set of rules to follow?
b. Why is it important to follow a set of rules?
c. Relate the importance of following a set of rules in filling up the
atomic orbitals with electrons.

VI. Activity:

Title: Writing Electron Configuration


Reference: Not found on LG and TG (Proposed Activity)
Procedure:
 Now that you are fully equipped with the knowledge of energy levels,
sub levels, orbitals and rules governing distribution of electrons let us
now moved on to writing electron configuration of elements.
 We have agreed yesterday in our class that you need to memorize the
mnemonic device that you see in the periodic table of elements.
 What is a MNEMONIC DEVICE?
(A mnemonic device is a sentence that helps us to memorize a
string of words)
 The mnemonic device that you see in a periodic table helps you to
memorize the order of filling up atomic orbitals with electrons.
Ask the following questions.
1. What are found in a mnemonic device used in electron
configuration?
- numbers before the letters s,p,d,f are energy level,
- letters s,p,d,f are the sub levels
- super script numbers refers to number of electrons
2. When 1s orbital is already filled up, what orbital is next to fill?
3. Ask the student to recite the mnemonic device used in
writing electron configuration.
4. Complete the table below.

VII. Analysis:
Get your Periodic Table of Elements. Compare your answer to
the written electronic configuration of the element in the periodic table.
Check your answer:
1. How did you get the correct electron configuration?
(with the help of the previous class discussion and the
mnemonic device)
2. What served as your guide in writing the electron
configuration of elements?
(mnemonic device)
3. Why is it that your answer is wrong?
(haven’t followed the mnemonic device)
4. What leads you to wrong writing of electronic configuration?
(not following the rules and the guides)

VIII. Abstraction:

In writing electron configuration of atoms, we make use of


guides to follow. Mnemonic device gives us the chronological order of
filling up orbitals of an atom. This will give you a correct writing of
electron configuration of elements. With the help of the rules given by
scientist and the mnemonic device as well, we can write a correct
electron configuration of an element.

IX. Application:

Analyze the given electron configuration of elements given


below.What is wrong in the given electron configuration? Justify
your answer.
1.
Na (11) 1s22s23s22p6
2.
Al (13) 1s12s23s22p64s2

XI. Agreement:

1. Sing an Element Song


One way of memorizing the elements in the periodic table
is by singing them. Have you heard of “Tom Lehrer’s Element
Song”? This is a good mnemonic device although the song was
done in 1959, when there were 15 fewer elements. Your
challenge here is to compose your own elements song and
perform it in class.

2. Do some research about valence shells and valence


electrons.
3. Bring Periodic Table of Elements.
