| Title | Transparent rings atomic model (TRAM): s,p,d,f, notation made simple | Author | | Subject | Science|Study and teaching|Computer network resources Chemistry |Study and teaching (Secondary) |Fiji Chemistry|Study and teaching|Fiji | Abstract | This article describes the Transparent Rings Atomic Model, a teaching model that the author developed to help students visualise atomic energy levels and understand the electronic structure of the atom in a meaningful way. The article begins with a discussion of some misconceptions that students have about core chemistry concepts. It then looks at the usefulness of the traditional .zig-zag. algorithm as an instructional tool for teaching students how to write electronic configurations and how the TRAM can complement its use. A description of how to use this model in the classroom is included at the end of the article. | Volume/Year | Directions: Journal of Educational Studies vol.27, no.2, 2005 | Collation | 71-82; | Notes | • | | Filesize | 1001046 bytes | File Format | PDF | Number of pages | 12 |
