CREATING THE PERIODIC TABLE

Using the principles of Mendeleev and Mosley you are to construct a periodic table.
To do this task you are asked to use your textbook. Use pg 219 - 222 read the lab titled 6-F.
Please build a periodic table based on the reading instructions. This will benifit you to understand the periods and groups and why they are arrange in a certain pattern.
Answer all analyze questions on a seperate piece of paper from that of your periodic table.

HOMEWORK:
Please complete the Simpson's Periodic table and the Simpson's Bohr-Rutherford diagrams.
This is a fun little somethign again to get you to practice these type of drawings and to see similarities among groups in a periodic table.

BOHR-RUTHERFORD DIAGRAMS and the PERIODIC TABLE

Today we will be looking at the worksheet that you completed yesterday night for homework. (course kit pg 37).

Is there any specific thing that you can notice about the arrangement of the elements, and their electron configuration (shells) that looks similar? They should! If you look at the very first coloumn of the periodic table you will note that each element has only one electron in it's outer most shell. This coloumn of the periodic table is called the, "Alkaline Metals". The second column, as you can see by the BOHR-RUTHERFORD diagrams that each element in this column has 2 electrons in the outer shell. These elements are called the, "Alkaline Earth Metals".

Now, jump across to the 17th column of the periodic table and take a look at the elements configuration. What do you see? Yes that's right! There are 7 electrons in the last shell of each element. These are called, " Halogen Gases". Finally the last column, 18. This column shows that the elements have 8 electrons in the outer orbit, and the shell is full, so it is called a stable octet. The Family name of this column is the, " Knoble Gas" family.

HOMEWORK:
Using your course kits and the overhead notes in class today please complete pg 25 to 31
Make sure to read Mendeleev and Mosley. Chemical families colour and complete charts.

DALTONS ATOMIC THEORY & OTHER GREAT SCIENTISTS

Well I hope everyone Enjoyed their T.A.P. day!
It was rather fun and intresting to get to know each and everyone of you a little better then I knew before. Thanks for sharring and making those ice-breaker games really fun!

Today we were not only introduced to our peers, but to some rather important English scientists.
These scientist helped formulate what we know about the atom. Today we learned the parts of the atom, their unique atomic number, as well as their unique atomic mass.
All of thee great and mportant strucutres were found out through experimentations.

PLease not that you will have to know what scientist found which part or parts of the atom, how they made their theory, and how their particular experiment worked.

HOMEWORK:
Pease use your text books and re-read the areass discussed in class. These can be found in your Science Power 9 textbooks on pg 183 - 186.
Also answer Questions # 1 - 2 on pg 186.
** Your Physical and Chemical Changes lab is Due Tuesday September 21st ( tomorrow!)
Tomorrow you will be given your chapter 5 review questions to prepare for wednsdays chapter test. It will cover everything that has been taught to you from matter all the way up until today's lesson.

CLASSIFYING MATTER

HOMEWORK:

Please read your science text book Science Power 9 on the following pages:
Pages 170 - 174. These pages will give you a greater understanding of the vocabulary that is needed to help classify matter. Using pg 175 of your text book view, the diagram and fill in the blanks found on pg 11 in your course kits. You will have to extend the chart to add a few more classification boxes that were missing.

Please record all bolded definition terms in the text into your personal vocabulary logs in your notebooks. These terms will appear on tests, quizes and will boost your vocabulary in explaining your answers on tests, or in a given problem.

REMINDER --> Density quiz and 20 Elements quiz is tomorrow so please bring a calculator.
Hint to study: Make up a name or story using the elemental symbols and numbers.
Eg. 1 hydrogen went to buy 2 hellium balloons. Lithium said it would cost 3 dollars.....
HOPE THAT HELPS!
Good luck.
Mr. Smith

for a little help try this website to see how you do.

States of Matter, Theories, Particle Theory and Elements

WHAT IS MATTER?

1. All matter occupies space. (VOLUME)
2. All matter has a mass. (AMOUNT OF MATTER)

There are 4 types of matter, however we are only going to deal with those of SOLID, LIQUID, and GAS. ( 4th type is plasma if you wanted to know!)

We know that these states of matter have very different properties from one another (i.e. - shape and volume) and react differently to different forces
(i.e. - pressure and heat changes). The fact that these differences exist shows
that the three states of matter must be different from one another in how they
are made.
In other words, we want to study the NATURE OF MATTER - what the three
states are really like. We will see that the best way to explain the
nature of matter is with the PARTICLE THEORY OF MATTER.

THEORIES:

A THEORY is one or more statements that are used to explain and predict
experimental results. Again, a theory does two things:
a) explains - what has been observed.
b) predicts, - what will occur under certain circumstances.
The statements in a theory may or may not be true - but they are the
best information at hand for the experiment being studied. THEORIES
MAY CHANGE IF NEW EXPERIMENTAL INFORMATION IS FOUND.
A theory can be illustrated or explained using a MQDEL.
A MODEL helpsus "see" (and understand) a theory by using a
a) word description.
b) mathematical description.
c) diagram.
d) physical model.

PARTICLE THEORY

1.ALL MATTER IS MADE OF TINY PARTICLES - If everyone on the face
of the earth worked together to count the atoms (particles) in the
head of a pin, we would spend our entire lives doing so!!
2.ALL PARTICLES OF THE SAME SUBSTANCE ARE THE SAME SUBSTANCE -
Ice, liquid water and water vapour are the same substance; therefore
their particles are all the same. Particles of different
substances, however, are very different from one another.
3.PARTICLES IN MATTER ARE SEPERATED BY SPACE - These
spaces are smallest in solids and largest in gaseous substances
(This explains why gases can be compressed - their particles are
very far apart compared to solids and liquids.)
4.THE PARTICLES IN MATTER ATTRACT ONE ANOTHER - These
attractions also get stronger as the particles get closer together.
Therefore, the attraction is strongest in solids and weakest in
gaseous substances.
5.PARTICLES IN MATTER ARE ALWAYS IN MOTION -The speed of
the particles depends on temperature. As the temperature goes up,
the particles gain more energy and therefore they move more
quickly.

ELEMENTS:

Students are required to know and memorize the first 20 ELEMENTS on the PERIODIC TABLE. Each student will be tested on the CORRECT SPELLING of the elements NAME, its ATOMIC SYMBOL, and its ATOMIC NUMBER.

HOMEWORK:

read course kit pages titled Particle Theory of Matter, Early Theories of Matter, and start to memorize the first 20 elements in the Periodic Table of Elements located on the first page of your course kits.

Here is a great litle game to help start memorizing the periodic table:
