Percent composition and Chemical Formulas

Naming ionic and covalent bonds and writing chemical formulas

6.4 The student will investigate and understand that there are basic sources of energy and that energy can be transformed. Key ideas include the sun is important in the formation of most energy sources on Earth; Earth’s energy budget relates to living systems and Earth’s processes; radiation, conduction, and convection distribute energy; and energy transformations are important in energy usage. 6.5 The student will investigate and understand that all matter is composed of atoms. Key ideas include atoms consist of particles, including electrons, protons, and neutrons; atoms of a particular element are similar but differ from atoms of other elements; elements may be represented by chemical symbols; two or more atoms interact to form new substances, which are held together by electrical forces (bonds); compounds may be represented by chemical formulas; chemical equations can be used to model chemical changes; and a few elements comprise the largest portion of the solid Earth, living matter, the oceans, and the atmosphere.

8.5 D, E, F Chemical Formulas, Equations, and Reactions

Sc.8.p.8.5 Students will be able to: • Recognize that there are a finite number of elements and that their atoms combine in a multitude of ways to produce compounds that make up all the living and nonliving things that we encounter. • Distinguish among mixtures (including solutions) and pure substances. • Recognize that elements are grouped in the periodic table according to similarities of their properties • Recognize that atoms are the smallest unit of an element and they are composed of sub-atomic particles (electrons surrounding a nucleus containing protons and neutrons) • Explain why theories may be modified but are rarely discarded Advanced Benchmarks: • Write chemical formulas for simple covalent (HCl, SO2, CO2, and CH4) and ionic (Na+ + Cl- + NaCl) and molecular (O2, H2O ) compounds. Predict the formulas of ionic compounds based on the number of valence electrons and the charges on the ions (912.P.8.7) • Use the periodic table and electron configuration to determine an element’s number of valence electrons and its chemical and physical properties. Explain how chemical properties depend almost entirely on the configuration of the outer electron shell (912.P.8.5) • Explain that electrons, protons, and neutrons are parts of the atoms and the nuclei of atoms are composed of protons and neutrons, which experience forces of attraction and repulsion consistent with their charges and masses (912.P.8.4)

Science Exam Parts of the Atom: The atom consists of a nucleus at its center, containing protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral), while electrons (negatively charged) orbit in electron shells around the nucleus. Atomic Number: The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in its nucleus. It defines the element and determines its place on the periodic table. Properties of Metals: Metals have properties like conductivity, malleability (can be flattened into sheets), and ductility (can be drawn into wires). Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures: Elements consist of only one type of atom. Compounds are made of two or more different elements chemically bonded. Mixtures are combinations of substances that are physically mixed but not chemically bonded. Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Mixtures: Homogeneous mixtures have a uniform composition (e.g., saltwater), while heterogeneous mixtures have different phases (e.g., oil and water). Changes of State: Changes like melting, evaporation, and condensation are examples of physical changes of state. Chemical and Physical Properties: Chemical properties describe how a substance can change to form a new substance, while physical properties are characteristics like color, texture, and state (solid, liquid, gas). Physical and Chemical Change: A physical change involves the appearance or state of matter, but the substance remains the same. A chemical change involves the formation of new substances. Chemical Equations: Chemical reactions can be represented with chemical equations that show reactants (what you start with) and products (what is formed). Chemical Formulas: Chemical formulas represent the composition of compounds. For example, NaHCO3 is sodium bicarbonate, consisting of one sodium (Na), one hydrogen (H), one carbon (C), and three oxygen (O) atoms. Energy: Types of Energy: Energy can be kinetic (related to motion), potential (stored energy), thermal (heat energy), electrical, chemical, and more. Units of Energy: Common units of energy include joules (J) and calories (cal). Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed from one form to another. Energy Transfer and Transformation: Energy moves from one object to another, changing forms along the way. Useful and Waste Energy: Useful energy is what can be harnessed and used for a specific purpose. Waste energy is energy that is not used and is often lost. Energy Flow Diagrams: These diagrams show how energy is transferred or transformed within a system. Energy Efficiency: Efficiency is a measure of how much useful energy is obtained from a system. It can be calculated using the equation: Efficiency = (Useful Energy Output / Total Energy Input) x 100%. Fossil Fuels and Renewable Energy: Fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and natural gas, are non-renewable sources of energy. Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Variables: Independent Variable: The variable that is manipulated or changed in an experiment. Dependent Variable: The variable that is measured or observed and is affected by changes in the independent variable. Controlled Variables: Factors that are kept constant to ensure a fair and accurate experiment.
