Periodic Table Curriculum Teacher’S Guide ™ Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom www.agintheclass.org AITC Periodic Table Curriculum Teacher’s Guide This activity guide provides real life examples of how the periodic table is used in the world of agriculture. Lessons provide an opportunity to apply science principles to new technology to ensure the greatest use capital and natural resources. A tremendous knowledge of science and the periodic table is needed to successfully be a part of the agriculture industry. A basic understanding of element names, symbols, number, and how elements bond together is key to state and national science standards and integrate into the fields of agriculture, biotechnology, aquaculture, plant and animal science, hydroponics, and horticulture. Identifying elements such as nitrogen, which is crucial to plant growth and evaluating the nutrient needs of plant and animal food are just two activities which require a working knowledge of the periodic table. The AITC Periodic Table also contains information relevant for: • Demonstrating the concepts of pH value • Illustrating the nitrogen cycle • Measuring for water quality • Identifying acceptable nutrient levels through soil quality testing • Balancing scientific equations The activity guide to accompany the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom Periodic Table is one of the resources provided to Virginia classroom teachers attending AITC professional development workshops. The Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The mission of AITC is to promote, through education, an awareness and understanding of the importance of agriculture. Such an understanding will enhance the quality of life and economic well-being of all Virginians. AITC acknowledges the contributions of our primary writer Gail Clark.

The information covers material about the Periodic Table: obtaining information about each element, isotopes, the families/groups (columns), the periods (rows), the Bohr model and energy levels, ionic bonding, covalent bonding, and periodic trends. The student worksheet uses the ingredient label from a beef cattle mineral mix to show the practical use of some elements. It is these elements, then, which are used to practice finding numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons; identifying groups and metal/nonmetal and drawing Bohr models. There are a few extension questions asked, just for discussion and reading comprehension. Finally, there is a worksheet on isotopes which gives the student some examples of the uses of isotopes, while giving them the opportunity to practice finding the number of neutrons in various isotopes. 4 ™ Reproduction of AITC™ material by organizations or individuals other than those who have received the materials from Virginia AITC staff at an AITC training program is prohibited. For more information on Virginia Agriculture, visit our website at www.agintheclass.org. The Periodic Table of the Elements represents an attempt to visually organize all of the elements into an orderly chart which emphasizes patterns of chemical reactivity. Each block gives four pieces of information about an element, but the location of that block tells even more about the structure of each atom of that element and how it reacts with other atoms. Information from each element box: 7 N Nitrogen 14.00 7 – This is the ATOMIC NUMBER. Notice that atomic numbers increase as you move horizontally across each period (row). The atomic number represents the number of PROTONS (positively charged particles) in the nucleus. N – This is the SYMBOL of the element. Notice that the first letter of the symbol is ALWAYS in upper case and the second letter of the symbol (if there is one) is ALWAYS written in lower case (example: zinc is Zn). Nitrogen – This is the NAME of the element. Some of the elements have been known for thousands of years and others are being made today by man in accelerators. Notice that some of the symbols match well with the element names (N for nitrogen), but others don’t make sense (Cu for copper, Au for gold). This is because some symbols are derived from the old, Latin names of the elements (cuprous for copper and aurora for gold). 14.00 – This is the AVERAGE ATOMIC MASS of one atom of the element in a.m.u., or atomic mass units. The mass of an atom of an element is made up of the protons and NEUTRONS (particles which carry no charge) in the nucleus and the negligible mass of the ELECTRONS (negatively charged particles) in energy shells around the outside of the nucleus. Not all atoms of one type of element have the same mass, since some atoms may have more neutrons than others. Atoms which have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons are called ISOTOPES (Example: Carbon – 12 and Carbon – 14).

  • Element Symbol: Pb Atomic Number: 82
    LEAD Element Symbol: Pb Atomic Number: 82 An initiative of IYC 2011 brought to you by the RACI KERRY LAMB www.raci.org.au LEAD Element symbol: Pb Atomic number: 82 Lead has atomic symbol Pb and atomic number 82. It is located towards the bottom of the periodic table, and is the heaviest element of the carbon (C) family. The chemical symbol for lead is an abbreviation from the Latin word plumbum, the same root word as plumbing, plumber and plumb-bob still commonly used today. Two different interpretations are associated with the word plumbum, namely “soft metals” and “waterworks”. No-one knows who discovered lead, the metal having been known since ancient times. Archaeological pieces from Egypt and Turkey have been found dating to around 5000 BC. Lead is also mentioned in the book of Exodus in the Bible. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were floored with soldered sheets of lead, while there is evidence to suggest the Chinese were manufacturing lead around 3000 BC. Some reports suggest that lead was probably one of the first metals to be produced by man, and this is likely so given its worldwide occurrence and its relative ease of extraction. In alchemy, lead was considered the oldest metal and was associated with the planet Saturn. Lead makes up ~0.0013% of the earth’s crust. It is rare that metallic lead occurs naturally. Lead is typically associated with zinc, copper and silver bearing ores and is processed and extracted along with these metals. When freshly cut pure lead is a bluish-white shiny metal that readily oxidises in air to the grey metal that is more typically known.

  • Calcium Fluoride Scale Prevention
    Tech Manual Excerpt Water Chemistry and Pretreatment Calcium Fluoride Scale Prevention Calcium Fluoride Fluoride levels in the feedwater of as low as 0.1 mg/L can create a scaling potential if Scale Prevention the calcium concentration is high. The calculation of the scaling potential is analogous to the procedure described in Calcium Sulfate Scale Prevention (Form No. 45-D01553-en) for CaSO4. Calculation 1. Calculate the ionic strength of the concentrate stream (Ic) following the procedure described in Scaling Calculations (Form No. 45-D01551-en): Eq. 1 2. Calculate the ion product (IPc) for CaF2 in the concentrate stream: Eq. 2 where: m 2+ 2+ ( Ca )f = M Ca in feed, mol/L m – – ( F )f = M F in feed, mol/L 3. Compare IPc for CaF2 with the solubility product (Ksp) of CaF2 at the ionic strength of the concentrate stream, Figure 2 /11/. If IPc ≥ Ksp, CaF2 scaling can occur, and adjustment is required. Adjustments for CaF2 Scale Control The adjustments discussed in Calcium Sulfate Scale Prevention (Form No. 45-D01553-en) for CaSO4 scale control apply as well for CaF2 scale control.

  • Periodic Activity of Metals Periodic Trends and the Properties of the Elements SCIENTIFIC
    Periodic Activity of Metals Periodic Trends and the Properties of the Elements SCIENTIFIC Introduction Elements are classified based on similarities, differences, and trends in their properties, including their chemical reactions. The reactions of alkali and alkaline earth metals with water are pretty spectacular chemical reactions. Mixtures bubble and boil, fizz and hiss, and may even smoke and burn. Introduce the study of the periodic table and periodic trends with this exciting demonstration of the activity of metals. Concepts • Alkali and alkaline earth metals • Periodic table and trends • Physical and chemical properties • Metal activity Materials Calcium turnings, Ca, 0.3 g Beaker, Berzelius (tall-form), Pyrex®, 500-mL, 4 Lithium metal, Li, precut piece Forceps or tongs Magnesium ribbon, Mg, 3-cm Knife (optional) Sodium metal, Na, precut piece Petri dishes, disposable, 4 Phenolphthalein, 1% solution, 2 mL Scissors Water, distilled or deionized, 600 mL Safety Precautions Lithium and sodium are flammable, water-reactive, corrosive solids; dangerous when exposed to heat or flame. They react violently with water to produce flammable hydrogen gas and solutions of corrosive metal hydroxides. Hydrogen gas may be released in sufficient quantities to cause ignition. Do NOT “scale up” this demonstration using larger pieces of sodium or lithium! These metals are shipped in dry mineral oil. Store them in mineral oil until immediately before use. Do not allow these metals to stand exposed to air from one class period to another or for extended periods of time. Purchasing small, pre-cut pieces of lithium and sodium greatly reduces their potential hazard. Calcium metal is flammable in finely divided form and reacts upon contact with water to give flammable hydrogen gas and corrosive calcium hydroxide.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? • What characteristics did you use to organize the buttons? • In what other ways could you have organized the buttons? Elements can be organized by similarities. One way of organizing elements is by the masses of their atoms. Finding the masses of atoms was a difficult task for the chemists of the past. They could not place an atom on a pan balance. All they could do was find the mass of a very large number of atoms of a certain element and then infer the mass of a single one of them. Remember that not all the atoms of an element have the same atomic mass number. Elements have isotopes. When chemists attempt to measure the mass of an atom, therefore, they are actually finding the average mass of all its isotopes. The atomic mass of the atoms of an element is the average mass of all the element’s isotopes.

A bond has a lower potential energy than when separate. + 0 - Valence electrons positioned between the atoms. Electronegativity: Ability of an atom within a bond to attract electrons to itself. P.332 Trend In almost every case in which a bond is formed between two different atoms the resulting bond will be polar. In the 1930's, Linus Pauling (1901 - 1994), an American chemist who won the 1954 Nobel Prize, recognized that bond polarity resulted from the relative ability of atoms to attract electrons. Pauling devised a measure of this electron attracting power which he called "electronegativity" which he defined as the "power of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself." Electronegativity only has meaning in a bond. The table below presents the electronegativities for the main group elements. Electronegativity H = 2.1 x x x x x x Li = 1.0 Be = 1.5 B = 2.0 C = 2.5 N = 3.0 O = 3.5 F = 4.0 Na = 0.9 Mg = 1.2 Al = 1.5 Si = 1.8 P = 2.1 S = 2.5 Cl = 3.0 K = 0.8 Ca = 1.0 Ga = 1.6 Ge = 1.8 As = 2.0 Se = 2.4 Br = 2.8 Rb = 0.8 Sr = 1.0 In = 1.7 Sn = 1.8 Sb = 1.9 Te = 2.1 I = 2.5 Cs = 0.7 Ba = 0.9 Tl = 1.8 Pb = 1.9 Bi = 1.9 Po = 2.0 At = 2.2 Generally, the electronegativity increases moving left to right across a row, and decreases going down the table.
