A Visual Periodic Table
A very complete resource for the Periodic Table from WebElements
An ionic bond (or electrovalent bond) is a type of chemical bond that can often form between metal and non-metal ions (or polyatomic ions such as ammonium) through electrostatic attraction. In short, it is a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions.
The metal donates one or more electrons, forming a positively charged ion or cation with a stable electron configuration. These electrons then enter the non metal, causing it to form a negatively charged ion or anion which also has a stable electron configuration. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions causes them to come together and form a bond.
Here you find a video about every element on the periodic table, COOL!
Follow the amazing connection of THE ELEMENTS AND LIFE.
(thanks to an excerpt from Media Wiley http://media.wiley.com/product_data/excerpt/52/35273206/3527320652.pdf)
Yes, some of the connections seem quite complex, but while you are reading take note of the simplicity of whole numbers that literally bind life together -
... a seeming Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations from so few (27) essential elements...
(don't forget to check for your element)
Thank goodness you had Life Science last year... and now , 4...5...6... almost a little spooky!
The last paragraph is about you. No, seriously, it really is about you!
A simple Practice Quiz.... Chem For Kids
A different perhaps more challenging Quiz ... Proton Don
And now an advanced (7th) Grade Quiz ... Quia Quiz
So, what do you think?
How did you do?
Find anything out about your element?
Is the atomic weight mean the same thing as atomic mass?
ReplyDeletebrooke/blue
Good Question Brooke.... it is used often that way, unfortunately it is not always used correctly or scientifically..Where did you see it?
ReplyDeletePut two(2) in the bonus box
For the chemistry review video it say "not only the tendence of chemistry from the states of mater to the law of thermal dynamics usefull in scientific circles but are used in a wide range of automotive industries and also cooking" what does that mean -thanks jake yellow
ReplyDeleteIs the vocab test thursday or friday -jake yellow
ReplyDeleteThe Quiz is Friday
ReplyDeleteYou need to understand Chemistry, to understand all the other aspects they speak of i that introductory video. You can see Science at work in the Blog Video "Sweet Science"
ReplyDeleteMr. V are we allow to use our field notebook, for the vocab quiz Friday?
ReplyDeleteAllie Yellow
Just to clarify the test is tomorrow January 7 or January 14

Hey Mr. V the periodic tables where very helpful and i got a lot of good information on my element from them. - Sam, blue
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly is the quiz on tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteJessica/green
MR. V
ReplyDeleteFor the element project theres a requirment stating Mineral Supplement, i have searched for this online but have not found anything for my element.
Kevin, Blue
hello mr.v i have been absent. I will be at school tom and i was wondering that if the quiz will be an open notebook or not? I have something on my progress log for you to grade should i just have my parents sign it and attach the work to my progress log or have you grade it then turn it in??
ReplyDeleteSabrina/yellow
Mr. V,
ReplyDeleteWe were wondering if we could make 3 pamphlets for our presentation. Can we?
-Kaitlyn and Allie Yellow
Yep, you sure can.
ReplyDeleteYou can always attach for reassessment to you Progress log
ReplyDeleteMineral supplement, hmmm?... What's your element?
ReplyDeleteThe Quiz is the one you guys made up for yourselves.
ReplyDeleteMr. V, I watched a video on potassium, and I thought it was very cool, and helpful on information on what happens when you mix it with sodium. I took the first quiz for kids and got all of them right. Then I took the second quiz, and I did a combination of levels on that game. I wasn't completely horrible at it, but I wasn't good either. I took the third quiz and got 12 out of 21. I think the last few I got wrong because of spelling errors, but I feel rather unintelligent at the moment. I failed a 7th grade quiz. I should be ashamed of myself. I am now going to research the rest of the things on this quiz so that I can recieve a Hundred percent on each of them.Other than that I found this blog relatively helpful. I have a few question though on the content of the slide thing. I will put them in my next post in a half an hour approximatly.
ReplyDeleteSavanah Yellow
My first question: what is a electrochemical
ReplyDeletetransfer of signals in the nervous system? I know it has something to do with what or how your body signals things to other systems in the body but it confuses me.
My secend question: what is silenium?
I really don't understand the rest of it either, other than the fact that DNA is made of 4 components.
Savanah yellow
YOU shouldn't feel bad about not doing well on the 7th grade quiz... now you know what you need to learn...How cool is THAT!!
ReplyDeleteSelenium is a trace mineral that is essential to good health but required only in small amounts. Selenium is incorporated into proteins to make tha are important antioxidant enzymes. The "selenoproteins" help prevent cellular damage that may contribute to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
ReplyDeletePretty important stuff!

ReplyDeleteSo Glad it helped.

Mr V, I had lost the rubric for our element project somehow and i need it for the rest of my project. Do you have a link of the rubric that i could use and print out for my element? Thanks. This would be a big help.
ReplyDeleteTyler/Green
Tyler, You can find a working Rubric in the "Elements for Life" Blog archive from December 15 2010. (You could copy and paste if need be.)
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look quite like the handout because of different margin size but it should work for you.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks, do I have to turn that into you?

ReplyDeletethank you Mr. V!

What are the similarities of mass and weight?
ReplyDeleteLindsey - Green
One of the similarities is that people think they mean the same thing.
ReplyDeleteSherlock
ReplyDeleteIf anyone needs help with the periodic table?
If so read on. ( think about what we're studying in Mr. Nevins class 4.3 especially)
Helium, Neon,Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon, and Ununoctium They're the plantation owners(noble gases) and self-sufficient.
Independent small farmers(Metals) aren't self sufficient and need help to be whole. Nonmetals are immigrants that aren't considered high in society, but are still regarded. Slaves(transitional) aren't considered fully human(closer to animals) so they don't fit in with anyone.
Sherlock/yellow
P.S. Hope this helps and I couldn't figure out who the Lanthanide and Actinide Series could be

ReplyDeleteRemember, Bromine is in the same group as Fluorine - so it will form an ion with the same charge as fluoride. Pair up positive and negative ions in RATIOS that result in neutral ionic compounds: NaBr, Li2O, MgS, AlF3, KNO3, NH4Cl.
