Inquiry Question 1

• walk through
  8 PT and Atomic Structure Topic Overview, 

• keep a copy as the basis of your study notes and checklist for Assessment Task 2.

• We will be completing  Inquiry Question 1 and it will be assessed in the half-yearly exam. 

• Practical: explore a simple classification of matter as elements, compounds and mixtures, with the focus for the unit on elements, using:

• MolyMod activity to model element H, element O, mixture H + O, compound H2O 

investigate to identify given elements as metals, non-metals or metalloids based on physical properties of lustre, malleability and electrical conductivity:

5.1

• • 1. carry out experiment  8CHEM Metal Nonmetal Practical.docx   Risk Assess

    2. test results with the Periodic Table http://www.rsc.org/periodic-table 

    3. compulsory: in discussion, choose one metal you have tested, relate its properties to its use in society

    4. Ext: challenge Q “A particular element must be a non-metal, because it is dull.” T or F. Defend your position. 

5.2 consolidate with:

• • 1. Properties of Metals and Nonmetals WS (These are images in a Word doc, so will need to be copied). 

    2. Ext: Challenge with Q, “Are these always the case?”

• • Practical: use Gas Tests summary  (Risk Assess)  in identifying the non-metal gaseous elements of hydrogen and oxygen:

    1. view videos H [0.58mins] and O [1.08 mins]  to assist them to design the practical investigation

    2. safely carry out the investigation

    3. view voltameter demonstration and identify that water is 2 hydrogen:1 oxygen
