Task 1 For
examiner’s
Use

Using a suitable Word Processing program to complete this task about Chemical Reaction:

Load file ‘Chemical Reaction.RTF’ from your support files folder.

1 Set all text font to:

• serif font.
• font size 12 pt.
[2]
2 For the header:
• Insert the image ‘Logo.png’ at the left corner and resize it to a suitable size.
• Type text ‘NEIS- Chemistry’ at the right corner.
[2]
3 For the footer:
• Add page number center aligned. [1]

4 Insert page break before the heading of the first paragraph. [1]

5 For the first page:

• Inset the picture ‘Chemistry.png’ from your support files folder.
• Type the title ‘Chemical Reaction’ below the image.
• Set the style ‘Book Title’ for the title.
• Add table of content at the end of first page and below the title.
[4]
6 For the text:
• Add horizontal line after the first paragraph.
• Set numbered list to the four types of Redox Reactions.
[2]
7 Add a footnote beside word ‘rusting’ at the end of the first paragraph with the following
text:
‘Rusting is an oxidation reaction occurring with iron.’ [1]

8 Check and correct any grammar or spelling mistakes. [1]

For
Task 2 examiner’s
Use

You are a member of Science Simulation project about chemical reaction.

Using a suitable application, follow the steps below to complete the simulation:

Load ‘Reaction.sb3’ from the support files folder on the desktop.

Simulation will start using the green flag.

10 For the ‘Magnesium’ sprite

• Start with the costume ‘Magnesium’.
• Create a variable called ‘Electrons of Mg’.
• Set the variable to 12.
• Ask the question ‘What is the name for this reaction?’
• If the answer is ‘redox’:
- Broadcast message ‘start reaction’.
- Change costume to ‘Magnesium 2’.
• Otherwise say ‘try again’. [7]

11 For the ‘Oxygen’ sprite

• Create a variable called ‘Electrons of Oxygen’.
• Set the variable to 8. [2]

12 For ‘electron 1’ and ‘electron 2’ sprites apply the same following points:
• receive the message ‘Start reaction’ then:
• glide to move from ‘Magnesium’ to ‘Oxygen’ at suitable positions.
• decrease variable ‘Electrons of Mg’ by 1
• increase variable ‘Electrons of Oxygen’ by 1. [4]

13 Save file as ‘Simulation_<candidate number>’ in the Testwork folder. [1]

Task 3

You are going to complete a spreadsheet about chemical elements.

Follow the steps below:

Load ‘Chemical Elements.CSV’ from the support files folder on the desktop.

14 In cell G2, write a formula to calculate Number of Neutrons using the following
equation:
Number of Neutrons = Atomic Mass – Atomic Number. [1]

15 Copy formula down from cell G2 to cell G8. [1]

16 In cell F14, write down formula to find the greatest number of Valence Electrons.
[1]
17 In cell F15, write down the formula to calculate the number of cells with positive
values in Valence electrons. [1]

18 In cell F2, write down a formula to show ‘Positive’ if Valence electrons greater than or
equal to zero, otherwise show ‘Negative’. [2]

19 Using suitable tool, highlight values in Atomic Mass that is greater than 20 as yellow
shading. [1]

20 Set a validation rule for the values in Valence Electrons to show whole numbers
between -4 and 4. [1]
21 Sort the data based on ‘Atomic Number’ to show values in ascending order. [1]

22 Insert a Column chart showing Symbol, Atomic number, and Atomic Mass columns.
[1]

23 Save the file as ‘Chemical Elements_<candidate number>’ in the TestWork folder. [1]

Task 4 Use

You are asked to create a database about chemical elements.

Follow the steps below to complete your task.

24 Save your database file as ‘Elements Database_<candidate number>’ in the Testwork

folder.
[1]
25 Create a database table and save it as ‘Elements’ by following the steps below:
• Create a table and add 5 fields with

o field names as shown below.

o suitable data type for each field.

• Set ‘Symbol’ field as a primary key. [3]

26 Create a form for the table and save it as ‘Elements Form’.

- add the records shown in the table below.

[3]
27 Create a query by following the steps below:

- Show Element Name and Valence Electrons fields.

- Show only records with negative values in Valence Electrons.

- Save your query as ‘Negative Valence’. [3]
