Module 2: Lab 2: Report Assignment - Atomic Structure & Theory

Module 2: Lab 2: Report Assignment -Atomic Structure and Theory- (worth 10 points maximum)

This assignment supports the following objectives:

• (CLO6) Use the scientific method to conduct and interpret basic laboratory experiments relevant to course content and to write concise and comprehensive laboratory reports.
• (CLO5) Record, graph, chart and interpret data obtained from experimentation.

Evolution of Atomic Theory (2.2)

• Outline milestones in the development of modern atomic theory (CLO1)
• Summarize and interpret the results of the experiments of Thomson, Millikan, and Rutherford (CLO1)

Atomic Structure and Symbolism (2.3)

• Write and interpret symbols that depict the atomic number, mass number, and charge of an atom or ion (CLO2)
• Define the atomic mass unit and average atomic mass (CLO1)
• Calculate average atomic mass and isotopic abundance (CLO2)

Lab Report Format:

TITLE: LAB 2 Report: Atomic Structure and Theory

YOUR NAME:

ABSTRACT:

• What you did (Explain the Procedure that you followed)
• How you did it (Give the tool and/or "simulator URL" used)
• Why you did it (What was the purpose for doing this experiment)
• What you found (Discuss the quality of your data based on the size of percent error values if you have any and/or Discuss something that you figured out about how the values in your data change as you manipulate the simulator)

DATA/ANALYSIS: This is the Completed Experiment Handout (upload separately)

CONCLUSION: What did you learn, not what you did using the simulator (Explain a concept, skill, tool, or formula that you learned as a result of doing this experiment)
