Technology
1) Use appropriate scientific terminology when describing atoms and
elements (e.g., mass, charge, electron, proton, neutron, nucleus,
atom, molecule, element, compound, neutral, positive, negative,
ion, isotope, and periodic table).
2) Identify major shifts in understanding matter that have enabled
more detailed explanations of the structure and composition of
the atom up to and including the Bohr model of the atom.
