Identifying Properties of Lithium and Silicon

Students should view the resource that shows the atomic structures and symbols of lithium (Li) and silicon (Si). Students should make connections as to how the atomic structures and atomic symbols relate:

• Atomic Number = Proton Number
• Atomic Number = Electron Number
• Proton Number = Electron Number
• Protons + Neutrons = Atomic Mass
