Chemistry Unit 02: Atomic Structure and Periodic Table (15 days)

TEKS

(5)  Science concepts. The student understands the historical development of the Periodic Table and can apply its predictive power. The student is expected to:

(A)  explain the use of chemical and physical properties in the historical development of the Periodic Table;

(B)  identify and explain the properties of chemical families, including alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, noble gases, and transition metals, using the Periodic Table; and

(C)  interpret periodic trends, including atomic radius, electronegativity, and ionization energy, using the Periodic Table.

 

Assignments

1. Read 4.1 Defining the Atom pp. 108-110 #s 3-8
2. Read 4.2 Structure of the Nuclear Atom pp. 111-115 #s
   1. 1. Read Much Ado About (Mostly) Nothing. When Rutherford performed his gold foil experiment, he did not get the result he was expecting. Did this make him a failure? Explain. Also, think of a time you changed your way of thinking because of a new experience/ evidence. Write about it and be prepared to share in class.
