Describe the past and current models of the atom and how their placement on the periodic tablereflects their structure.
C3.1, C3.2, C3.5, C3.6, C3.8, C3.7 /
  1. I can describe how the different models of the atom evolved from Dalton’s to Bohr’s.

  1. For any element on the periodic table I can identify its group, period, atomic mass, atomic number, symbol, and whether it is a metal or non-metal

  1. I can identify the location, charge, and mass of the three subatomic particles, and identify their number in any element.

  1. I can draw a Bohr-Rutherford diagram for the first 20 elements

  1. I can describe the trend in electron arrangement down a group and across a period

  1. I can describe the pattern of reactivity of the alkali metals and relate this to their electron arrangement.

Distinguish between elements, compounds, and mixtures in the context of the particle theory
C2.1, C2.5, C3.3, C3.8 /
  1. I can describe particle theory and how it applies to the three states of matter.

  1. I can identify the differences between an element (atom or molecule) and a compound (molecule) and give examples for each

  1. I can provide the formula for common elements and compounds and construct their molecular models

  1. I can identify the differences between a pure substance (elements and compounds) and a mixture and give examples for each.

identify the physical and chemical properties of matter
C2.2, C2.3, C2.4, C3.4 /
  1. I can describe different types of qualitative and quantitative physical and chemical properties used to describe matter.

  1. Given a common household substance, I can describe its physical and chemical properties.

  1. Given an element or a compound, I can describe its physical and chemical properties.

  1. I can use and manipulate the density formula to calculate mass, volume, or density (with units) of a piece of matter both theoretically and experimentally.

  1. Using a test for chemical properties, I can distinguish between oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide gas.
