12th Grade Atomic Number Lesson Plan (Science)

Topic: atomic number

Objectives & Outcomes

• Understand the concept of atomic number and how it is used to determine the identity of an element.

Content

• The atomic number of an element is the number of protons found in the nucleus. It is used to identify the element and is characteristic of each element.

Examples

• Hydrogen has an atomic number of 1 because it has one proton in its nucleus.
• Chlorine has an atomic number of 17 because it has 17 protons in its nucleus.
• Calculating the atomic number of an element can be done using the periodic table.
• In the periodic table, elements are organized by their atomic number.
• In the periodic table, elements are organized from left to right and top to bottom based on their atomic number.
• To calculate the atomic number of an element, look for the element in the periodic table and count the number of protons in its nucleus.
• Since the atomic number is characteristic of each element, it is used to identify elements and to determine the identity of an element.
• The atomic number is also used to derive the mass number of an element.

Assessment

• Students can be assessed on their understanding of the concept of atomic number by asking them to identify the atomic number of various elements and explain how they determined the number.
• Students can be assessed on their ability to calculate the atomic number of an element by asking them to do so using the periodic table.
• Students can be assessed on their understanding of the relationship between the atomic number and the mass number by asking them to calculate the mass number of various elements and explain how they determined the number.

2.6 Chemical Reactions

Chemical Reactions

Topic: Chemical Reactions

Objectives & Outcomes

• Understand how chemical reactions occur and the factors that influence their outcomes.
• Content
• Chemical reactions occur when two or more substances interact in a way that results in the formation of new substances and the breakdown of the initial substances.
• Reactions can occur spontaneously or can be catalyzed or encouraged to occur through the addition of a catalyst.
• The type of chemical reaction that occurs is determined by the chemical properties of the substances involved, such as their reactivity or their ability to form bonds with other substances.
• The substances that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction are called products. The substances that are broken down are called reactants.
• In a chemical reaction, the total number of atoms never changes, but the identity of the atoms can be altered and the chemical bonds can be rearranged
• Examples
• When hydrogen and oxygen react to form water, one molecule of hydrogen and two molecules of oxygen combine to form one molecule of water.
• When sodium and chlorine react to form sodium chloride, one molecule of sodium and one molecule of chlorine combine to form one molecule of sodium chloride.
• When iron rusts, iron atoms lose electrons and combine with oxygen to form iron oxide (rust).
• When baking soda and vinegar react, carbon dioxide is released and combines with water to form a solution of sodium acetate (vinegar is made of acetic acid).
• When hydrogen peroxide and an acid such as lemon juice react, the hydrogen peroxide breaks down and forms water, while the acid becomes more concentrated.
• Calculation of the products of a chemical reaction can be done using the chemical formula of the reactants and the chemical formula of the products.
• The type of chemical reaction can be determined based on the types of chemical bonds formed and broken in the reaction.
• Assessment
• Students can be assessed on their understanding of chemical reactions by asking them to describe the reactions that occur when various substances are combined.
• Students can be asked to draw a diagram of the products of a given chemical reaction and explain how they determined the identity of the products.
• Students can be asked to calculate the products of a given chemical reaction using the chemical formula of the reactants and the chemical formula of the products.
• Students can be asked to identify the type of chemical reaction that occurs when various substances are combined based on the types of chemical bonds formed and broken in the reaction.
