Honors Physical Science
Atomic Structure - A study of classification and structure
of matter
Test date (February 3-4, 2003)
pre-Quiz (January 31, 2003)
This unit will allow each student to:
-
gain a better understanding of atomic theory and the structure of
the periodic table as well as develop skills for describing matter's characteristics
and behaviors
-
continue making proper scientific measurements and calculations
-
define and properly use all vocabulary
-
properly apply all terms in describing/explaining real world examples
-
relate these concepts her/his daily activities and behaviors
-
teach someone else the concepts discussed
-
practice proper laboratory safety
This will be accomplished by each student that is able to:
-
recognize and relate SI and USCS units of density
-
recognize a density by the units only
-
perform calculations using proper problem solving techniques to determine
density
-
distinguish between physical and chemical properties and give examples
of each
-
distinguish between intensive and extensive properties and give examples
of each
-
distinguish between pure substances and mixtures and give examples of each
-
identify different types of mixtures and give examples of each
-
classify samples of matter according to properties
-
distinguish between physical and chemical changes and give examples of
each
-
determine whether a physical or chemical change has taken place based on
observations
-
describe processes by which pure substances and mixtures can be broken
down
-
identify the solute and solvent in a solution
-
describe the process of dissolving
-
describe and explain the factors effecting dissolving rate of solids and
gases in a liquid
-
use a solubility curve to determine if a solution is unsaturated, saturated,
or supersaturated
-
describe the general formation and neutralization of acids and bases
-
determine whether a substance is an acid or a base using the pH scale
-
identify common acids and bases and their properties
-
create a timeline of the development of modern atomic theory from Democritus
to quantum theory
-
completely describe the discoveries of the main structures and models of
the atom
-
explain the electron cloud model and energy levels
-
identify the information found on the periodic table for each element
-
know the symbols and proprer spelling of selected elements
-
identify the 3 sub-atomic particles, their charges
-
distinguish between isotopes of an element
-
explain the use Avagadro's number and the unit of a mole with the periodic
table
-
describe the reasoning of the organization of Mendeleev's periodic table
v. Moseley's p.t.
-
use the periodic table to predict the properties of an unknown element
-
describe the periodic law of the elements using specific examples of periodic
properties
-
identify and give reasons for specific groups, periods, and regions of
the periodic table
-
distinguish between metals, metalloids, and nonmetals
-
list everyday examples of metals, nonmetals, melalloids, as well as each
group of the p.t.
