Big Ideas

• How do chemical reactions cause environmental and safety risks?

• How do scientists communicate information about chemicals and reactions?

• Knowing the chemicals involved in a reaction, how can you predict the products?

• students  will be able to define and give examples of both physical and chemical properties

• students will be able to describe and provide evidence on both physical and chemical changes

• students will be able to describe general characteristics and trends of the periodic table

• students will be able to draw and describe both Bohr-Rutherford and Lewis Dot Diagrams

• students will be able to explain what an ion is, and describe both cations and anions

• Students will be able to identify and predict the products for synthesis, decomposition, single and double displacement reactions

• Students will be able to describe the Law of Conservation of Mass and how that leads to balanced chemical equations

• students will be able to describe, draw, name, and write the chemical formulas for ionic compounds

• Students will be able to describe, draw, name, and write the chemical formulas for molecular compounds

Nothing new here but more practice to identify (name and write) both ionic and molecular compounds.

**Make sure you identify the compound as Ionic or Molecular first so you can follow the proper rules.**

• Students will be able to write full and balanced chemical equations from given word equations

• students will be able to write complete balanced equations when only given the reactants involved

• Students will be able to explain both complete and incomplete reactions with examples

• Students will be able to describe the properties and characteristics of both acids and bases

• Students will be able to describe and give examples of practical applications for neutralization reactions

• Students will be able to provide some examples of the impact and uses of both acids/bases in our environment
