Here's a fun and engaging addition to your Electron Arrangement Units—the Orbitals and Quantum Numbers Escape Room! Prepare for an exciting adventure where your students will beg for more as they dive into orbitals, orbital diagrams, and quantum numbers through a series of puzzles.
 
In this escape room, students will:
Complete Orbital Diagrams: Determine elements based on orbital configurations and place electrons accurately across subshells.
Count Electrons and Orbitals: Determine the number of electrons within an orbital and calculate the total orbitals in an energy level.
Assign Electrons by Quantum Numbers: Match an electron to its correct orbital based on its quantum number values.
Identify Quantum Numbers: Navigate the values of n, l, m, and s to locate electrons within their unique quantum states.
Explore Orbital Orientation: Examine the orientations of p and d orbitals to understand spatial distribution.
Apply Hund’s Rule: Place electrons in orbitals to maximize unpaired spins.
Follow the Aufbau Principle: Fill orbitals in the correct order of increasing energy.
Apply the Pauli Exclusion Principle: Assign electrons correctly within sub-levels.
 
Whether used to reinforce classroom lessons or as a stand-alone educational activity, this escape room is the perfect way to engage students while deepening their understanding of Orbitals and Quantum Numbers.
 
Game Features:
Five (5) Locked Puzzles with a total of 30 multiple-choice questions that will challenge students to unlock each level.
Available in both Google Forms and print versions, offering flexibility for both digital and in-person learning environments.
Response validation ensures that students answer correctly before progressing through each puzzle, encouraging mastery of the material.
An answer key is included for easy facilitation.
