Outcomes, not lecture notes.
Decode the periodic table's structure and use it to predict element properties and chemical behavior
Write full and shorthand electron configurations using the Aufbau principle, Hund's rule, and the Pauli exclusion principle — including tricky exceptions
Distinguish between ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds and explain how bond type determines compound properties
Analyze periodic trends in ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity and use those trends to reason about reactivity
Apply VSEPR theory to predict the 3D shapes of molecules
Identify and interpret atomic data encoded in each element's periodic table tile, including atomic number, mass, and isotope information
Connect electron configuration patterns to the organization of the periodic table's blocks (s, p, d, f)
