Unit 2: Atoms and Elements Outcomes
S1-2-01 Describe how historical ideas and models furthered our understanding of the nature of matter. Include: Greek ideas, alchemy, Lavoisier
S1-2-02 Investigate the historical progression of the atomic model.
Include: Dalton, Thompson, Rutherford, Bohr, quantum model
S1-2-03 Define element and identify symbols of some common elements.
Include: the first 18 elements, K, Ca, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, I, Ag, Sn, Au, W, Hg, Pb, U
S1-2-04 Explain the atomic structure of an atom in terms of the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons, and explain how those numbers define atomic number and atomic mass.
S1-2-05 Assemble or draw Bohr atomic models for the first 18 elements and group them according to the number of outer shell electrons.
S1-2-06 Investigate the development of the periodic table as a method of organizing elements. Include: periods, families (groups)
S1-2-07 Investigate the characteristic properties of metals, non-metals, and metalloids and classify elements according to these properties.
Examples: ductility, conductivity of heat and electricity, lustre, reactivity
S1-2-08 Relate the reactivity and stability of different families of elements to their atomic structure. Include: alkali metals, alkaline earths, chalcogens, halogens, noble gases
S1-2-09 Compare elements to compounds. Include: atoms, molecules
S1-2-10 Interpret chemical formulas of elements and compounds in terms of the number of atoms of each element. Examples: He, H2, O2, H2O, CO2, NH3
S1-2-11 Investigate properties of substances and explain the importance of knowing these properties. Examples: usefulness, durability, safety
S1-2-12 Differentiate between physical and chemical changes.
S1-2-13 Experiment to determine indicators of chemical change.
Examples: colour change, production of heat and / or light, production of a gas or precipitate or new substance
S1-2-14 Investigate technologies and natural phenomena that demonstrate chemical change in everyday situations. Examples: photography, rusting, photosynthesis, combustion, baking
