Patterns in Electrons and Chemical Bonding Kit
Product Code : EL-AS-11126
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Quick answer: A two-activity kit using the periodic table itself as the investigative phenomenon: students model electron configurations and orbital diagrams for a series of elements and their ions, then model the formation of both ionic and covalent compounds.
The design idea here is to treat the periodic table as the thing to be explained rather than the reference to be consulted. Both lab activities in the kit use the table as the investigative phenomenon, which inverts the usual order: instead of learning the table and then the electron configurations, students derive the pattern and discover that the table encodes it.
The first activity, Patterns in Electrons, has students model the electron configuration for a series of elements and their ions, generate correct electron configurations and orbital diagrams, and analyse the relationship between those patterns and the periodic table. The second, Patterns in Chemical Bonding, has them model the formation of both ionic and covalent compounds and again relate it back to electron configuration and the table.
Including ions in the first activity is worth noting, since ionic configuration is where most students first go wrong, and modelling the electron removal or addition physically is the clearest way through it.
