Help students master valence electrons with this engaging crack the case chemistry activity! Students determine the number of valence electrons from Bohr models, electron configurations, and orbital diagrams. The models include ions and neutral atoms, and the valence electrons become part of a 3-digit combination.
Once students have answered all problems, they will enter all 4 combinations on a puzzle sheet that includes clues such as "2 are correct. 1 is correctly placed and 1 is incorrectly placed." Using the 4 combinations, the 4 clues, and deductive reasoning, students will determine a final 3-digit code to crack the case!
This no-prep chemistry review is perfect for independent practice, stations, homework, test review, or substitute plans.
