RATIONALE

In today’s classrooms, educational ped-agogy is often founded on Benjamin S.Bloom’s “Six Levels of CognitiveComplexity.” The practical applicationof Bloom’s Taxonomy is to evaluate stu-dents’ thinking skills on these levels,from the simple to the complex:Knowledge (rote memory skills),Comprehension (the ability to relate orretell), Application (the ability to applyknowledge outside its origin), Analysis(relating and differentiating parts of awhole), Synthesis (relating parts to awhole), and Evaluation (making a judg-ment or formulating an opinion).

The AIMS Teaching Module is designedto facilitate these intellectual capabili-ties, AND to integrate classroom expe-riences and assimilation of learningwith the students’ life experiences, real-ities, and expectations. AIMS’ learnerverification studies prove that our AIMSTeaching Modules help students toabsorb, retain, and to demonstrate abil-ity to use new knowledge in their world.Our educational materials are writtenand designed for today’s classroom,which incorporates a wide range ofintellectual, cultural, physical, and emo-tional diversities.

OBJECTIVES

Compounds: Electromagnetic Attraction in Molecules

THEMESCompounds: Electromagnetic Attract-ion in Molecules shows students howelements combine through chemicalreactions and form compounds. Thedifferences between covalent andionic bonds are discussed, as well asthe importance of electron configura-tion in various elements. In addition,students will learn to recognize theproperties of acids and bases.

OVERVIEWThe world around us is made up ofcompounds which are formed duringchemical reactions. In these reactions,atoms gain, give up or share elec-trons in order to form bonds with oneanother. These bonds provide theatoms with a configuration thatresembles that of the highly stablenoble gases. The bonds formed whenatoms gain or lose electrons arecalled ionic bonds. The bonds formedwhen atoms share electrons arecalled covalent bonds. In addition toatoms, molecules can also gain orlose electrons and form ions. Ionsformed out of molecules are knownas polyatomic ions. All compoundsare classified as either acids orbases. The pH scale measures the rel-ative strength of these two groups.Compounds can also be classified aseither organic or non-organic.Organic compounds are vital tomany life processes such as photo-synthesis.

To discuss the types of chemicalreactions that lead to the forma-tion of compounds.

To examine the two basic types ofchemical bonding: covalent andionic.

To learn more about the forma-tion of polyatomic ions.

To explore the properties of acidsand bases.

To better understand how chemi-cal formulas and oxidation num-bers represent different com-pounds.

To discuss the importance oforganic compounds in lifeprocesses.

INTRODUCTION TOTHE PROGRAM

To study compounds, we must studychanges. All compounds are bornwhen two or more elements interactand change into a new substancewith different properties. Thesechanges are constantly taking placeall around us. The more we learnabout these changes, the better wecan understand how compoundswork on a molecular level. Even with-out seeing electrons and protons, wecan see how these sub-atomic parti-cles give compounds their propertiesand define the world we live in.

INTRODUCTION TOVOCABULARY

Ask students to look up the words“covalence” and “ion” in the dictio-nary. What are the meanings of thetwo words? (Covalence is a bondcharacterized by the sharing of elec-trons. Ion is an atom or group ofatoms that carries a positive or nega-tive charge as a result of losing orgaining electrons.)

DISCUSSION IDEAS

When potassium is exposed to ordi-nary water, it reacts violently andbegins to burn. On the other hand,gold has no reaction with water.What could be the differencebetween elements that are highlyreactive and those that are not? Whatcould atomic structure have to do withthis property? (The exchange of elec-trons is the basis of all reactions.Some elements have the correct num-ber of electrons for stability, whileothers are always trying to gain orlose electrons to become more sta-ble.)

FOCUS

Ask students to think about the deli-cate balance of the atomic world.From the cellular conversion of sugarinto energy, to the heating of gasesand rock inside a volcano, chemicalchanges shape everything around us.Encourage students to keep this inmind as they begin the program.

SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES

Connection to Science

Provide students with a copy of the Periodic Table. Discuss with them the information given foreach element, including Atomic Number, Atomic Weight and Chemical Symbol. Some PeriodicTables also include information about Electron Configuration and Oxidation States.

Ask students to write down the name of an element from the Alkali Metals Group. What is theAtomic Weight of this element? Next, ask them to write down the name of an element from theNoble Gases Group. What is the atomic number of this element? Finally, ask them to writedown the name of an element in the Non-Metal Group. How many electrons are present ineach shell of this element?

Meeting Individual Needs

Ask students to make sentences using the following words. Encourage them to use a dictionaryif they are unsure of the meanings. Make sure that their sentences display an understanding ofthe words as they relate to the program.

• compound - substance formed by the combining of elements or other compounds through chemical reaction

• electron - tiny particles that move around the nucleus of an atom and can be shared, gainedor given up to form chemical bonds

• ion - atom or compound that has a positive or negative charge as a result of gaining or los-ing one or more electrons

• molecule - smallest particle of an element or compound that retains the properties of the ele-ment or compound

Hands On

Before class, prepare a jar of red cabbage solution. Chop half of a red cabbage and placethe pieces in a pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, stirring often. Remove the solution fromthe heat and allow it to soak for about an hour. Pour the water through a strainer and place itin a glass jar. When the liquid cools, seal the jar tightly.

Explain to students that the cabbage solution can be used to determine if a substance is an acidor a base. If a base is added to it, the solution will turn light green or blue. If an acid is addedto it, the solution will turn red or pink. Using small amounts of the cabbage solution, test thefollowing items: baking soda, vinegar, washing powder, window cleaner, apple juice, orangejuice, milk of magnesia and cream of tartar. Ask students to make a chart to record the resultsof the tests.

Extended Activity

Based on what they have learned, ask students to make a list of the compounds that we seeand use in our everyday lives. Have them separate the list into man-made compounds and nat-ural compounds. Some examples are listed below.

Man-Made Compounds: plastic, paint, glue, drugs, pesticides, fertilizers

Natural Compounds: water, salt, carbon dioxide, citric acid, starch, rubbing alcohol, ammo-nia, bicarbonate of soda, hydrogen peroxide

Critical Thinking

Next to hydrogen, helium is the lightest element known. How is this fact related to helium’sAtomic Number? How do we put the extraordinary lightness of helium to use? (Helium has anatomic number of 2. It follow hydrogen on the Periodic Table. Helium’s extraordinary lightnessis used to give party balloons, hot-air balloons and airships their loft.)

When someone breathes in helium, they speak at a higher pitch than normal. What could bethe reason for this? (Since helium is lighter than air, sound waves travel more quickly throughit. This produces a higher pitched sound.)

Connection to History

Even early humans took advantage of chemical reactions. Once fire was discovered, peoplebegan to make pottery by baking clay. Weapons were made by heating metals to extreme tem-peratures. Even food was chemically changed when it was exposed to heat and cooked.

Ask students to search library books, encyclopedias and other texts to find examples of earlychemical reactions performed by ancient craftsmen, physicians and others. Have each studentpresent their discovery to the class. (Some examples include using dyes, concocting potionsor medicines, making glass, making building materials, curing leather and embalming thedead.)

Link to the World

The first forms of plastic were made in the 1860s. Cellulose found in cotton fibers was modi-fied on a molecular level to make moldable materials. Before this time, expensive substancessuch as ivory and silver were used to make many items. Only after scientists developed anunderstanding of molecules could quality plastics be processed.

Ask students to think about the impact that plastic and other man-made compounds have hadon our lives. What are some important plastic items that we use each day? (Some examplesinclude food and beverage containers; furniture, carpet and upholstery; clothing, shoes andcoats; bicycle and automobile parts; and appliance parts.)

Connection to Language Arts

Not all chemical symbols on the Periodic Table are obvious choices. For example, iron couldnot be represented by “Ir” because that symbol was already used for iridium. Instead, scien-tists decided to give iron the symbol “Fe,” for the Latin name of iron, ferrum.

Ask students to investigate the chemical symbols for lead, silver and potassium. What are thechemical symbols for these elements? Where did they originate? (The symbol for lead is “Pb”from the Latin word for lead, plumbum. The symbol for silver is “Ag,” from the Latin word forsilver, argent. The symbol for potassium is “K,” from kalium, the Latin name for the element.)

Culminating Activity

Serve as the host of a Chemical Talk Show. Assign an element to each member of the class.Tell the class to study up on their assignments before the show. Interview each “guest” by ask-ing them about their various properties. What is their boiling point? How many electrons dothey have in their outer shells? Are they stable or do they tend to react with other elements toform compounds?
