Module 2 Science Journal

Lesson 1 Practice 1 – Atoms: The Space Between Video

1. What are some characteristics of the "space" inside an atom?

The space is filled with quarks.

2. If an atom is mostly empty space, what keeps other matter

from moving through the space inside an atom?

electromagnetic repulsion of the electrons.

3. To get an idea of the size of the parts of an atom, including the

nucleus and the amount of space, the video segment compares
a courtyard at Cambridge University and a bit smaller than a
grain of sand.  Think of another comparison that uses places or
objects that are familiar to you.   

a piece of grass to a walmart

Reflection: What was the overall idea of this video?

the describe an atom and compare it to get a better understanding.

Lesson 1 Practice 2 – Tutorial on Atomic Structure

Complete a screenshot of the review game after completing the

Atomic Structure Tutorial showing that you won and post the

screenshot below.
Lesson 1 Practice 3 – Element Identification Flashcards

Contact your teacher via text, Bb IM, Google Chat or phone call (this
will also count as your weekly contact!) to let him/her know how you
did on this activity.

Lesson 2 Practice 1 – Interactive Electromagnetic Spectrum

1. Describe the relationship between wavelength and frequency

as you move through all parts of the Electromagnetic
Spectrum.

The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency.

2. Describe the relationship between frequency and energy as

you move through all parts of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

The energy of electromagnetic radiation is directly proportional to its frequency.

Lesson 2 Practice 2 – Electron Transitions Interactive

Explain the Bohr Model and how electron transitions release and
absorb energy.   Your reflection must include the following terms:
photon, orbit, wavelength, emit, energy level,
electromagnetic radiation. 

He postulated that the electron was restricted to certain orbits characterized by

discrete energies. Transitions between these wavelengths allowed orbits to result
in the absorption or emission of photons. When an electron moves from a
higher-energy orbit to a more stable one, energy is emitted in the form of a
photon.
Lesson 3 Practice 1 – Electron Configuration Interactive

Reflection: Describe the process of creating an electron

configuration.

first write the energy level, then the subshell to be filled and the superscript,
which is the number of electrons in that subshell. The total number of electrons
is the atomic number,

Post a screenshot of your finished electron configuration with

arrows (not the written version you write down) for sodium below:

Lesson 3 Practice 2 – Electron Configuration Flashcards

Record the answers to the following questions after viewing the
flashcards:
 1. What is the shape of the s orbital? Spherical
2. How many electrons can the d orbital hold? 10
3. How many electrons can the 2s hold? 2
4. The s orbital can hold how many electrons? 2
5. What is the electron configuration for Al? 3s1 3p1
6. Which sublevel has the highest energy? F
7. How many electrons can 4d hold? 10
8. What is the shape of the p orbital? Double lobed
9. How many electrons can 5p hold? 6
10. How many times did you view the flashcards? 3

Lesson 4 Practice 1 – Radiation Tutorial

What observations and/or conclusions about radiation can be made

based on this tutorial? Use the terms alpha, beta, gamma,
radiation, and decay in your answer. Your answer should be 4-5
sentences long.

alpha, beta, and gamma radiation can go through nuclear changes and turn into
different elements. In natural radioactive decay, three common emissions occur. When
these emissions were originally observed, scientists were unable to identify them as
some already known particles and so named them: These particles were named using
the first three letters of the Greek alphabet. Some later time, alpha particles were
identified as helium-4 nuclei, beta particles were identified as electrons, and gamma rays
as a form of electromagnetic radiation like x-rays, except much higher in energy and
even more dangerous to living systems.
