Notes

Lesson

Starter: Ask pupils to pick one of the questions,

highlighting the starred question is an A/A* question
Protons and neutrons in the nucleus
Electrons: -1 Protons: +1 Neutrons: 0
2-8-8-2
Protons and neutrons in the middle, electrons
on shells
Li 3,2,4
Equal numbers of electrons/neutrons, Li +1 is
more positive
Briefing lesson outcomes
