Lesson Starter We are about to start a new topic: “In Your Element” Think!: Can you name any elements? What is an element?
I have developed my knowledge of the Periodic table by considering the properties and uses of a variety of elements relative to their positions. SCN3-15a
Definition of an Element An element is made from only one type of atom. An element is a substance that cannot be broken down into anything chemically simpler.
The Periodic Table There are over 100 different chemical elements. Scientists have developed a way in which they can be organised based on their properties (the way they look and act). This is called the periodic table.
Facts about Elements Elements have a name and a symbol and an atomic number. For some elements, the symbol is just the first letter of the name; It is written in Capital letters e.g. C (carbon) H (hydrogen) S (sulphur) For some elements, the symbol is the first two letters; the first is a capital and the second is a small letter e.g. Ca (calcium) He (helium) Si (silicon) Latin named elements: Na (sodium, Latin - natrium) Ag (silver, Latin - Argentum)
Symbols: Magnesium - Mg Aluminium - Al Carbon - C Oxygen - O Task: Write down the symbols for lead, iron and silver, argon, gold, boron (1 minute)
Organising the periodic table: http://www.twigonglow.com/films/introduction-to-the-periodic-table-1395/
Organising the periodic table: 11 elements are gases at room temperature - Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Chlorine, Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon. Colour these red. 2 are liquids at room temperature - bromine & mercury. Colour these blue. The rest are solids. Leave these white.
Questions: What is an element? How can you organise elements on the periodic table? Write out the chemical symbol for Carbon, Manganese and Silver. Identify the names of the following elements: Ca, Zn, Mg, S, Cu http://www.privatehand.com/flash/elements.html
Lesson Starter Name two elements which are gases at room temperature. State whether the following is true or false: copper is a liquid at room temperature chlorine is a gas at room temperature iodine conducts electricity lead is a metal and has the symbol Pb
Learning Intention To: Understand that properties of elements determine their use. Find out which elements conduct electricity.
Properties Lead to Uses Element Property Use gold resistant to corrosion jewellery copper electrical conductor, resistant to corrosion electrical wires, water pipes iron strong bridges, fences
Properties - Conductivity Aim: To find out which elements conduct electricity and which elements do not.
Properties - Conductivity Element Symbol Insulator Conductor Iodine I Iron Fe Carbon C Silicon Si Zinc Zn Aluminium Al Sulphur S Copper Cu
Properties - Conductivity Conclusion: All metals conduct electricity All non-metals do not conduct electricity (except for carbon)
Learning Intention To: Understand that properties of elements determine their use. Find out which elements conduct electricity.
Lesson Starter Name one element and state it’s properties and uses. List 3 elements which conduct electricity.
Learning Intention To identify the groups of the periodic table and list them in order of reactivity.
The Periodic Table A row across is called a period. A column down is called a group.
Groups of the Periodic Table Group 1 elements are called the Alkali Metals and are very reactive. Group 7 elements are called the Halogens and are very reactive non-metals. Group 8/0 are called the Noble Gases and are very unreactive. Task: Identify which of the following elements are alkali metals, halogens and noble gases. Argon, Na, Chlorine, Br, Cs, Xenon.
Reactivity of the Alkali Metals Group 1 metals react with water. They are so reactive they even react with air. Lithium, sodium, potassium and all Group 1 metals become very grey quickly after being cut. The shiny metal soon reacts with the air. Group 1 metals must therefore be stored under oil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m55kgyApYrY
