B: Chemistry

B.1: All matter is made up of atoms. Its structure is made up of repeating patterns and has characteristic properties. The student will engage in investigations that integrate the process and inquiry standards and lead to the discovery of the following objectives:

B.1.1: Matter is made of atoms and atoms are composed of even smaller components (i.e., protons, neutrons and electrons).

Element Builder

B.1.2: Atoms interact with one another by transferring or sharing outer electrons that are farthest from the nucleus. These outer electrons govern the chemical properties of the element.

Covalent Bonds
Electron Configuration
Ionic Bonds

B.1.3: An element is composed of a single type of atom. When elements are listed in order according to the number of protons, repeating patterns of physical and chemical properties identify families of elements with similar properties.

Element Builder

B.1.5: Solids, liquids, and gases differ in the energy that binds them together.

Phase Changes

B.2: A chemical reaction is a reaction in which one or more substances are converted into different substances. A chemical change cannot be reversed by physical means. The student will engage in investigations that integrate the process and inquiry standards and lead to the discovery of the following objectives:

B.2.2: The rate of chemical reactions is affected by the concentration and temperature of the reacting materials. Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions.

Collision Theory

B.2.3: Chemical substances react in definite molar weight proportions.

Chemical Equations
Stoichiometry

B.2.4: Mass is conserved in chemical reactions (balancing of equations).
