Performance Task No. 5

Name : _________________________Year & Section: ____________________Date: _________________

I. Objective:
1. Design using multimedia, demonstration, or models a representation or simulation of atomic structure.
2. Recognize common isotopes and their uses
3. Represent compounds using chemical formulas, structural formulas and models.

II. Introduction:

An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains all of the chemical properties of an element. Atoms
combine to form molecules, which then interact to form solids, gases, or liquids. For example, water is
composed of hydrogen and oxygen atoms that have combined to form water molecules. Many biological
processes are devoted to breaking down molecules into their component atoms so they can be reassembled
into a more useful molecule. (https://courses.lumenlearning.com/boundless-chemistry/chapter/the-structure-
of-the-atom/)

III. Materials Needed:

Cellphone/Laptop/computer with internet connection

IV. Procedures
A. Building an Atom
1. Go to https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/build-an-atom/latest/build-an-atom_en.html
2. Click Atom and tick Net Charge, Mass Number and Stable/Unstable.
3. Build a stable model with a neutral atom of the following elements: H, C and O
4. Drag the protons in the nucleus and add electrons to make it neutral. Then, add neutrons in the
middle. Note: Make sure that your model represents the correct atomic number and mass number of
that element.
5. Record how many p+ , e- , n0 in each element.

B. Building an Isotope
1. Go to https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/isotopes-and-atomic-mass/latest/isotopes-and-atomic-
mass_en.html

2. Tick the Symbol and Abundance in Nature

3. Check the stable isotopes of the He, C and Ne by adding or removing neutrons.
Note: There could one or more stable isotopes for each element.
4. Record your observation.

C. Building a Compound
1. Go to https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/build-a-molecule/latest/build-a-molecule_en.html
2. Click Single and make the models of the H2O and CO2 by dragging and dropping the elements.
3. Click 3D and click the Ball-and-stick model and Space-filling model these compounds.
4. Click Playground and create the models of acetic acid and carbon tertrachloride. Repeat Step 3.
