AbstractThis 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.
