Unit 2

Lesson 1: The background of

We are learning to:  To understand that there are over 100 elements in the .  To understand how the elements are classified in the periodic table.

I can:  State what an element is.  Identify elements as being solids, liquids and gases, metals and non-metals. The Elements

 An element is the simplest building block known, and each element consists of only one type of atom.

 Everything in the world is made from over 100 different elements

 The periodic table is the arrangement of all known elements The Elements Activity 1.1 Grouping Elements together

 Using the element cards given to you by your teacher, classify the elements into four groups of three.

 Complete the following table after you have discussed your ’s ideas as a class. Activity 1.1 task Periodic table

 The Periodic table arranges all the elements in groups according to their properties.

 Johan Doberainer, Alexandre Begager de Chancourtois, John Newlands, Glen Seaborg and Henry Moseley all aided in the development of the periodic table.

 However the most recognised figure is . Groups  Vertical columns are know as groups Periods  Horizontal rows are called periods.

 Just think of your school timetable 1 to 7 go horizontally. Fill in the blanks (Periodic table) What are elements made up of ? An element is a substance that is made up of atoms of only one kind.

An element contains only one kind of ______. Metal/ Non-metal

How many elements are non-metal ? Solid/Liquid/Gas

Which two elements are liquid at room temperature ? Plenary

Question bounce  Teacher will name an element and you need to decide solid, liquid or gas, and metal or non-metal. (based on your DB)  After you have named this correctly, you will then pick an element to pass on to the person of your choice. TWO Groups in the Periodic Table

We are learning to:  Discuss groups of elements in the Periodic Table.  Identify the reactivity of these groups of elements. I can:  Name the groups in the periodic table  Categorise elements into the various groups

Families of Elements Activity 1.2 Reactivity of Groups 1 & 7

 Briefly describe how the reactivity of alkali metals and then the halogens changes as you go down the group.

Group 1 Halogens

Group 2 Alkaline Erath Metals

Group 7 Noble Gases

Group 0/8 Alkali Metals THREE Chemical Symbols

We are learning:  What a chemical symbol is

I can:  Match Chemical symbols to elements and vice versa. Chemical symbols

 A chemical symbol is a shorthand way of representing an element.  Each element has its own chemical symbols.

 Modern symbols for elements consist of one or two letters. The firs letter is always a capital; if there is a second letter it is always a small letter.  A few elements have symbols that come from the Latin name for the element.

Nuclear examples

Find the chemical symbol for:

Polonium Francium

Actinium Protactinium

Find the name of the elements:

Bk Fm Sg Rf Symbol spelling

 Using your Periodic Table, discover the shorthand for the listed elements and rearrange them to answer the clues.

 E.G

In maths, the topic where letters are used for unknown numbers.

(Germanium, Aluminium, Boron, Radium)

AlGeBRa

 Sea dwelling mammal with tusks. WAlRuS Your turn

 Make up your own word and give a clue to your neighbour. FOUR Starter:

 Write the symbols for the following elements:  a) Silver b) Carbon c) Oxygen  d) Helium e) Lithium f) Neon

 2. Write the element names for the symbols:  a) Au b) H c) Zn  d) Cu e) F f) Ca

The idea of Atoms

We are learning to:  To describe the structure of an atom  To understand what an atom’s atomic number is and what other data we can work out form the atomic number. I can:  Outline the mass, charge and location of the sub-atomic particles in an atom  Identify number of protons and electrons from the atomic number

Activity 1.4 The Idea of atoms

 Take a sheet of paper and fold it carefully in half. Tear along the fold, take one half and fold it in half, then tear along the fold again. Repeat this as many times as you can. How small can you cut your piece of paper?

Atomic Number Atomic number Atomic number FIVE Electron Arrangement

We are learning to:  To understand and be able to draw how electrons are arranged in an atom.  To calculate the number of neutrons for an atom. I can:  State and draw the electron arrangement for an atom  Identify the number of neutrons for an atom

SIX Starter: Nuclide Notation

We are learning to:  To use nuclide notation to identify the atomic number and mass number for an atom. I can:  Use nuclide notation to work out the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom and in an ion.

How many protons does each atom have ?

How many electrons do each atom have ?

What is the only thing that is different between the two atoms ? Isotopes Isotopes Relative atomic mass (RAM) Relative Atomic Mass (RAM) Relative Atomic Mass (RAM) Relative Atomic Mass Relative Atomic Mass (RAM) EIGHT Creating Coloured Light

We are learning to:  Identify elements present in a compound by the colour produced when burning I can:  Carry out an experiment to identify a flame colour of a selected element

When chemicals are heated up the electrons inside the atoms get excited and move to energy levels further away from the nucleus. The electrons then move back to where they started but rather than giving the energy back out as heat they give it out as bands of light of a particular colour. As each element has its own unique number of electrons, each element will often give out its own particular colour. Normal light is made up of 7 colours, which you can see in a rainbow or with a prism.

Activity 1.9 Flame Colour

Heat a splint using a roaring blue Bunsen flame that has been soaked in a solution containing the different metals to see what colour the flame is.

Activity 1.10 Distress Flares

 Distress flares are very similar to fireworks. They contain a fuel, an oxidizing agent and chemicals that burn to produce colours and other effects.

Research Task

 After discussion with your teacher and others, can you find out how a rocket firework is made and produce a poster explaining what the different parts of a rocket are.  There are a number of good videos and websites available that show how fireworks are made

Radiation types

The different types of radiation are affected differently if they pass through a charged field. Stopping Radiation Stopping Radiation Stopping Radiation Why are some elements radioactive ? REMEMBER…

 A nucleus is more likely to be unstable if it contains an excess of neutrons

TEN Starter: Starter: We are learning to:  To be able to use nuclear equations
