Summary10 points if you summarize your results using numbers to provide details. L1 and honors students- this is a good place to include your mathematical formula that states what you discovered. Be sure to explain the formula so that a stranger could understand it.
Introduction
This is where you describe the mentos eruption in general, and then explain what is known about your particular topic. All of your statements should be supported with references. The references need to be reliable, which means either the Coffey paper, or the Guilford Journal of Chemistry. No websites should be used as references. The citations look like this1 and the reference itself is at the end of the paper.
Experimental Procedure
This is where you provide a detailed, listed procedure that is repeatable by a stranger. Use numbers so the scale of your experiment is clear.Emphasize safety.
ResultsFor full credit, describe your results, and show them using a table and a graph.
Conclusion
This is perhaps the most important part, where you analyze your results and compare them to previous research. What can you safely conclude? How fuzzy is your data- is it tight and repeatable, or does it vary a lot with each trial? For L1 and honors students, this is where you show how your data fits a mathematical formula. Use that formula to predict what could happen if you were to extend your data out beyond your limitslike using a 4 liter bottle, for example.
For full credit, try to explain the reasons for your results. What is it about hot soda that makes the eruption go higher, for example. As we did in unit 1, try to answer on a molecular level.Also, suggest follow up experiments.
References
This is a list of peer reviewed books and journals that you are using to support your research. No websites may be used. The numbers correspond to the superscripts in the paper.In the end it should look something like this:
1. Kaitlyn Earles and Megan Graham, Guilford Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2, Pages 21-22 (2008).2. Tonya Coffey, American Journal of Physics, Volume 76, number 6, pages 551-337 (2008).3. Nick Hill and Kyle Gaboury, Guilford Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2, Page 38 (2008).4. Read page 553 of Coffey's paper (see reference 2) for a detailed analysis of the effect of pH on the height of a mentos eruption.5.

How do we find out what everything is made out of?
Unit 3
Look around you. What do you see? In front of you are all kinds of stuff- all sorts of matter. Some of this
matter you can see, and theres more that you cant.
Some substances, such as those in your body, are
undergoing transformations as we speak. And most of
it is all mixed together, which complicates things
further. Whats it all made out of? Its a big mess. What
we need to make sense of it is a way to sort things out.
Our primary goal for this unit is to classify the matter
that is all around us. First, well consider what we can
say about mixtures. As you might guess, not very
muchit varies from sample to sample. So, we will
explore some purification techniques. We will spend the
remainder of our time finding out what we can about
pure substances- these are the materials that the
universe as we know it is made from. And since nearly
all understanding of matter begins with pure substances,
purification is the first step in chemical research.
Heres the plan:
Lesson 1: Separation Lab
Lesson 2: Leaf Lab
Lesson 3 Matter Lecture
Lesson 4: Review
Lesson 5: Matter test.
A Liquid Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer
(LCMS) can take a complex mixture, separate it,
and identify each substance. Shown above are the
major components of a tomato (a), mustard leaf
(b), and a strawberry (c), with some individual
substances (d-f) shown below based on their mass
spectrum.

Chemists typically spend more than half of their time purifying substances- separating them into their individual pure components. As a chemist it reminded me of cleaning up a mess at home. In this lab you will be given a mixture of 5 solid ingredients. Typically, these are sand, sugar, salt, iron filings, corn kernels, and pebbles. This year, they are:
1: __________2: __________3: __________4: __________5: __________6: __________
Your goal is to separate all ingredients of your mixture quantitatively, and analyze your results. You will be graded based on your choice of methods, your report, and percent error: how close your amounts are to the actual amounts provided.
Homework: Discuss this with your partner and come up with a plan. Write it as a diagram on the next page. You are welcome to use any equipment in the lab as long as you work safely and have it approved by me. Be ready to begin your experiment the following day. You will be allowed to dry any wet samples overnight.
Note that no student has yet come up with a quantitative method to separate salt from sugar.

Sample Separation Scheme
Invent your ownchromatography
Most common errors: -No separation or only partial separation of salt and sugar. -Samples still wet after overnight drying.
Separation lab (continued)Homework: Draw a neat diagram outlining your separation procedure, using the scheme shown on the following page. Note that you will have 60 minutes of class time only over two days to complete your separations.
Sand is an ingredient, but is not actually pure, as it contains hundreds of substances in addition to quartz (SiO2)

Analysis: Write a paragraph summarizing your experiment, and reflect on the results. Be sure to include recommended improvements if you were to repeat the process. Use additional paper if necessary.
Once you have the stamp of approval, begin your separations. Time your work so that any sample drying takes place overnight. When you are done place each sample in a labeled plastic bag, and ieach ndividual bag in a final plastic bag- your instructor will model it for you. You will be graded based on the purity and amount of each sample. Fill in the data table and complete the Analysis section below.
The matter all around us is rarely in a pure form; most of what is around us are mixtures. Perhaps the most complex mixtures are those in living things. To understand what is in a mixture we must separate the individual substances contained in a mixture.
In our very first experiment you each planted a seed and by now you should have several leaves. The goal of this experiment is to isolate some pure substances from that leaf. If you have need to, bring in some fall leaves from home.
Lab 3.2
Every leaf contains thousands of individual chemicals. Well focus on three visible groups with characteristic fall colors: the carotenes, xanthophylls, and chlorophylls. Their chemical structures and typical colors are shown on the right
Background:
Chromatography (color writing) is a powerful tool for purifying mixtures. We will use paper chromatography to isolate the visible substances in a leaf. To do this we will make a thin paste of leaf goo using a powerful solvent (methanol), then paint it on chromatography paper, which is our stationary phase. We then place it in a jar that has some organic solvent on the bottom (our mobile phase, and allow the solvent to move up the paper, separating the mixture based on the adherence to the paper, and the solubility in the solvent.
Your task is to find a solvent system that will separate the mixture.Watery solvents such as methanol or acetone tend to dissolve everything and move the mixture rapidly. Greasy solvents such as hexane dont tend to move the mixture much at all.
Try a few combinations until you get nice separation, like the chromatogram shown below. Not the identity of each band, and how the distance traveled by the substance is measured using Rf value, where all the way up to the solvent front has a value of 1, and the baseline has a value of zero.
Carotenes: Gold to Orange
Xanthophylls: Light Yellow
Carotenes Rf = 1.0
Chlorophyll B: Olive Green1. Which is more greasy (hydrophobic): the carotenes or the xanthophylls?2. Which is more greasy: chlorophyll A or B? Why?
Xanthophylls Rf 0.37
mystery substance Rf 0.32
Chlorophyll A Rf 0.21
Chlorophyll B Rf 0.16
Chlorophyll A: Forest Green
Tape your chromatogram here. Identify each band and measure its Rf
value.
Using the techniques described in this lab report and demonstrated by your instructor, find a solvent system that provides optimum separation of visible leaf constituents.
Tape your best chromatogram to this lab report and measure the Rf value of each visible substance.
Note that your values do not have to match those on the previous page.

Classifying Matter ws 3.1What is everything made out of?
Our essential question for this course:
*You should be aware that many texts differentiate between molecules and compounds. In this class we wont go there. If youd like to see the confusion that it can lead to, click here or here.
To say that the universe is made out of matter is true, but doesnt provide much detail. It would help to classify mater.. Lets start with elements.
The universe as we know it has about 100 elements. Occasionally we see them in their isolated form- for example an engagement ring may be pure gold (Au), with a diamond on it, which is pure carbon (C ).
More often we see the elements bonded together to form molecules, such as water (H2O) or table salt (NaCl). Sometimes called compounds,* molecules are made out of multiple elements which are bonded together and they have constant physical properties. For example, water freezes at 0 oC, and table salt melts at about 2000 oC.
If we look closely at the things around us, we find that most of them are mixtures of molecules. Drinking water, for example, is mostly made out molecules of water, but also has some molecules of salts (like NaCl) and may have be fluoridated as well.

21 (L1, honors only)Use the following 6 definitions to make a classification chart similar to the one at the end of unit 1. A sample to get you started is at the bottom right of page 18.
Matter: Anything with mass and space.Element: A substance with a fixed number of protonsMolecule: Atoms bonded togetherCompound: Different atoms bonded togetherMixture: More than one substanceSubstance: A pure form of matter
each of the 7 words below on your chart as examples. Consider if some should go in more than one place.. Also ask yourself if pure elements are bonded together.

A walk on the beachIntroduction to Matter Summary Worksheet
While walking down the beach one day, I spied a small object. I noticed it has both mass and took up space, so I was sure it was ___________. I picked it up and took a look at it under a magnifying glass. I could not see any impurities in this glassy object, therefore I was pretty sure it was _____________________. I assumed it was pure, so I classified it as a ____________________.
I took it home and heated it over a fire, but it did not melt, so I cant really say anything about that __________________(physical, chemical) property. I hammered it and it did not flatten; it is not _____________. I tried to stretch it and could not; it is not _______________. This material is a colorless solid. By the way, The other states of matter are ___________, _____________, and _____________. A few believe that _____________ represent a fifth state of matter, and this phase could either be in a ____________ or _____________ state. My little rock is just a simple solid. Since it is shiny I could say it is ___________. If I had the right equipment I could heat it up to a liquid (_________ it), or perhaps even heat it further from a liquid to a gas (_______________). Its possible that when I heat it up it might go directly to a gas (_______________), but I doubt it. I do know that iodine vapors can cool directly to form a solid (_______________), but that has nothing to do with my story.
I happened to have some hydrofluoric acid kicking around, and when I dropped in my substance to that nasty acid, it dissolved. That _____________(physical, chemical) change was weird. I sent it out to an analysis lab and they told me that my 600 milligram sample consisted of 280 milligrams of Si (_______________), and the rest was O (_______________). The percent composition of my sample is therefore _______% Si, and ________% O. And I thought my substance was a pure element, but really it is a just a _________. I submitted several similar samples I found at the beach and they all gave exactly the same analysis; this data is very ___________. I assume the people at the lab know what they are doing so it is probably __________ as well. L1 and honors students know that if I could prepare a solution of my substance I could puriy it and have the minor impurities identified using a single machine known as a ___________.
But Im pretty sure I know what it is already. My substance is______________.

Id like to separate a separate a sample of Martian Air into its individual componentsa good choice would be:______________________________6. This method of sample identification is used for organic compounds, and although it provides a nice fingerprint of the substance, has been largely replaced by more informative methods such as___________7. This method of sample identification creates predictable peaks based on the composition of the elements next to the point in question._________________________8. This method of sample identification produces a molecular ion which is a good measure of the molecular weight of the substance._______________________________________9. This is an old method of purification still in use, gives incredible sample purity, and was used in the rock candy experiment __________________________________10. This will do for separating oil and water __________________________________11. For the separation of complex mixtures which can be dissolved in a solvent, this method is hard to beat._________________________________________12. Used in the leaf lab, this method will separate a crude sample into many individual substances but is rarely used professionally. ____________________________13. This is the ultimate solution: it will separate and identify just about any solution, no matter how complex.___________________________________
We have seen how substances may be classified based on how their atoms are arranged (for example functional groups such as aldehydes, ketones, etc.). They may also be grouped into their 5 physical states, their physical, or their chemical properties.
A chemist spends the majority of his or her time purifying mixtures, and we spent some time doing that. We used basic techniques such as decanting, filtration, distillation, and chromatography to isolate some pure substances from a mixture. L1 and honors students explored the modern equipment used for separations including high performance liquid chromatographs and spinning band distillation devices. All students learned basic methods to identify pure substances such as odor, melting point, and conversion to known compounds. L1 and honors students also learned about modern spectroscopic methods to identify substances such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers. Finally, they had a glimpse at the future with some state of the art devices that can purify a mixture and identify each substance in it such as a LC-MS (liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer).
To ace this test be sure to understand the packet, including all lab experiments, slides, and worksheets. Go online and watch the screencasts of the slides if necessary. Be ready to separate a mixture if given one. Take a brief look at the first two units, since they are fair game on a test. Review your notes from your lab notebook, including all demonstrations and chalk talks. Finally consider the significance of the long term experiments we have been monitoring- the rock candy lab, and the seed lab. In our next unit we will zoom in enormously from our macroscopic view of matter and will ask ourselves what the smallest building blocks of matter are- this is the atom unit coming up next.
Be able to provide detailed answers to the questions below.Have a thorough understanding of the concepts below. Be able and ready to separate a mixture if given one.

How to ace the Matter test
In this our third unit we learned how to purify and classify matter. Matter in its natural state is a mixture of substances, and to study them we purify and identify them, and determine their properties. The mixtures may look pure (homogeneous) or many things may be visible (heterogeneous). The pure substances occasionally are composed of only one element, but more often are molecules that consist of multiple elements bonded together. There are a nearly infinite number of individual substances on earth, and chemists have learned how to mak evirtually any new substances (though not always very quickly) of their own design.

occur.
Daltons experiments suggested that elements come in different sizes, and they combine in
simple ratios. Thomson showed there is something smaller than hydrogen, and Rutherford
showed that there is a lot of empty space in matter. Based on those experiments and a
hunch that the atom may resemble our solar system, the early 20th century model of the
atom is the Jimmy Neutron symbol.
To understand the atom is to understand all matter on its most basic level. What did they
still NOT know about the atom at this point? List as many things as you can.

Protons are in the nucleus, each has a +1 charge, and identifies the element.
Neutrons are in the nucleus, each has no charge, and determines the isotope.
Electrons are outside the nucleus, each has a -1 charge, and determines the reactivity.
Atomic Number is the number of protons.
Mass number is the number of protons + neutrons
Average atomic mass is the averaged mass for a mixture of isotopes
An ion has either more or less electrons than protons, so it is charged.
Isotopes vary only in the number of neutrons for an element.

How to ace the Atom unit
In this our fourth unit, we explored the atom. Our goal was to answer the question: How do we know that atoms exist? We began with a chronological study, starting with the ideas of Democritus, and
ending with the discovery of the nucleus by Rutherford. We also considered what it would take to
convince us that atoms in fact do exist, and we found evidence that atoms have been individually
observed and moved.
We then focused on the three primary subatomic particles. We considered their location, mass and charge, and this led to an understanding of atomic number, mass number, and average atomic mass. Finally, we applied this to isotopes, and finished with the band of stability- the ratio of protons to neutrons for a stable atomic nucleus.
In our next unit we will focus on the subatomic particle that determines the chemical behavior of each

Within the framework of this approximation, the

where L is the total distance of the apex of the
hemisphere from the paraboloid surface (L=l+p0)
and is a numerical
constant which is almost independent of
congurations of chains and supporting tips and has an approximate value of 1.145.17 The apex
eld-enhancement factor for the chain on a paraboloid model is given by -=1.05(2+L/p0)0.99.
The eld F at the end of the chain anchored at the apex of a parabo-loidal tip can be shown to

A recently developed high-eld technique
of atomic chains preparation has made it
possible to attain the ultrahigh resolution of
eld-emission electron microscopy (FEEM),
which can be used to direct imaging the intra-
atomic electronic structure. By applying
cryogenic FEEM, we are able to resolve the
spatial conguration of atomic orbitals, which
correspond to quantized states of the end
atom in free-standing carbon atomic chains.
Knowledge of the intra-atomic structure will
make it possible to visualize generic aspects
of quantum mechanics and also lead to
approaches for a wide range of
nanotechnological applications.

Safety Notice: This lab is exciting, but please be cautious. Wear goggles. Assume all salts are toxic, as
are all gases produced.
Introduction: We have all seen the beautiful colors that can form when substances are placed in a flame.
Pockets of gas in wood can form green and blue colors when they ignite. What is happening when this
occurs? This answer was the key to unlocking the secrets of the electron, now known as quantum theory.
In this experiment we will observe some of these colors, and will make some initial attempts to explain it.
Finally, the color of the emitted light will be used to identify the unknown salts.

Spectroscopy Lab
Introduction: In our previous lab we observed the vivid colors emitted by placing chloride salts in a
flame. This was followed by a demonstration where we observed how a spectroscope (a prism, really) can
divide up light into separate wavelengths. We now know our eyes can only see a tiny section of the
electromagnetic spectrum shown below:
The purpose of this lab is to combine these two observations by repeating the flame test experiment,
this time using a spectroscope. This experiment is similar to that performed by Niels Bohr and others,
and begs the question: what does it all mean? How do the spectral lines relate to the structure of the
atom?
Safety: As before, this lab uses flames and toxic salts. Please wear goggles.
Procedure:
1. Put on goggles.
2. Each group will perform a 5 minute experiment at each of 6 stations, and then proceed to the
next. As precisely as you can, draw the component wavelengths observed at each station. Follow
the instructions for each station, clean up, and be ready to move to the next station.
Station 1: Sunlight.
Each student should point through the spectroscope directly at the sun, and draw the
component wavelengths observed. If weather permits, see if the colors are the same when
you are not looking through a window.
Station 2: Artificial light
Each student should point through the spectroscope directly at the fluorescent lights, and
draw the component wavelengths observed:
Station 3: Copper Chloride
Dip a paper clip into a copper chloride solution, and place it in the flame for less than two
seconds while your partner observes the emission of light through the spectroscope.
Repeat as necessary, but be cautious not to ignite the splint.
Station 4: Magnesium Combustion
Request a piece of magnesium metal from your instructor. Holding it in tongs, ignite the
magnesium and observe the spectrum through the spectroscope. Warning: The light is
extremely bright, and burns at 2000 degrees Celsius.
Station 5: Hydrogen gas
Turn on the hydrogen gas spectrum tube and observe the component wavelengths through
the spectroscope. You should see individual spectral lines.
Station 6: ______ Gas
Turn on the ________ gas spectrum tube and observe the component wavelengths
through the spectroscope. You should see individual spectral lines.
Data: Using colored markers, Draw what you see through the spectroscope as accurately

Wavelength Worksheet
Please show your work, not just the answer .
If you look down from Diamondhead in Hawaii, you will see waves rolling in at a steady rate. Some days
they are nicely spread apart, meaning they have a long wavelength. Other days they come in more
frequently; this is more dangerous for the surfers. The surfers prefer the long wavelength days. They
know that as the wavelengths get shorter, their frequency gets higher, and there is more energy- more
danger to the high frequency waves. This is summarized in the diagram:
Light travels in the same way. It travels at a steady rate: about 300,000,000 meters per second, or 3 x
108 m/s. And as the wavelength decreases, the frequency must increase:
Our eyes are really important to us, but they are kind of lame when you consider the tiny portion of light
from the electromagnetic spectrum that they can detect:
Wavelength Chart
We can use the wavelength formula and the chart on the previous page to understand things like radio
stations, visible light, and sunburns (due to ultraviolet light). Our ultimate goal is to make the connection
between light and the electron.
Wavelength Formula
S = wf S = speed of light = 3 x 108 m/s w = wavelength in meters (m) f = frequency in waves per second (Hz, or s-1)
In addition to a scientific calculator, you will need to refer to the wavelength chart on the previous page
to answer these questions.
1. An X-ray has a wavelength of 1.15 x 10-10 m. What is its frequency?
2. What is the speed and wavelength of an electromagnetic wave that has a frequency of 7.8 x 106 Hz?
3. A popular radio station broadcasts with a frequency of 94.7 megahertz (MHz). What is the
wavelength of the broadcast? (1 MHz = 1,000,000 Hz)
4. Cable television operates at a wavelength of about 1300 nanometers. What is the frequency of that
wave, and what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is it in? Is it dangerous? (Any wave more
frequent than visible light is considered dangerous).
5. Which is more dangerous, a radio wave or ultraviolet light?
6. The moon is 234,000 miles from earth. Light travels at 3 x 108 meters per second, and there are 1.62
kilometers in a mile.
When you shine a flashlight on the moon, how long does it take for the light to hit the moon?
7. The smallest particle of light is the photon. Max Planck discovered that the energy of light can be
calculated, where it is simply equal to a constant number multiplied by the frequency of the light:
What is the energy of a photon of green light?
(See question number 1)
8. What is the energy of a photon of light with a wavelength of 2 meters?
9. Since s = wf, and E = hf, can we calculate energy using wavelength, by combining the two formulas?
Please show the combined formula. (Hint: note that f appears in both formulas).
Light Energy Formula:
E = hf
Where E is the energy of the light in joules
h = Plancks Constant = 6.626 x 10-34 joules .seconds
f = the frequency of light in Hz (which is 1/seconds)
Example. What is the frequency of green light, which has a wavelength of 4.90 x 10- 7 m?

Electron configuration and orbital notation self test
Chemical behavior is determined by electron position. Its a simple statement, but it says a lot. Another
way of saying it is Chemistry is all about where the electrons are.
Thats why weve been spending the last week focusing on electrons. However, somehow it always seems
to bog down in some weird world of 1s2 2s2 2p6, and the Pauli Principle, and we forget our goal: if we know
where the electrons are we know how the substance will behave. Why Neon is stable, and sodium is very
unstable, and in fact why all the elements and the substances they form behave the way they do.
Lets pick an element. We know that oxygen contains ___ protons. And since it is not charged, it contains
_____ electrons. We know that ____ of the electrons occupy the first shell, and the other six are in
the second shell. We know that the first shell consists of a _____ orbital that holds _____ electrons,
and so we say that the electron configuration of that first shell is 1s2. For the second shell we have six
electrons, and we have learned that the first two will occupy a ____ orbital, and the next four go into
____ orbitals. Thus the electron configuration of oxygen is____________________.
We can go into more detail, and show the exact orbitals that the electrons are in, which even show the
direction the electrons are spinning in. An atomic orbital is simply a ______ of electrons, and the Pauli
Principle tells us that electrons prefer to pair up with _________ spins. The first shell of oxygen
contains one orbital, which we draw with a box like this:_______, showing that the electrons are paired
up with opposite spins. The second shell begins with one more orbital for the two electrons of the 2s
subshell, for a total of four electrons so far. We have ______ more electrons in oxygen, and they will
occupy the three p orbitals. We remember to apply _________s rule and spread these electrons out as
far as possible in those three boxes. Thus we can draw the electron configuration of oxygen with its
orbital notation right above it:
Note that this tells us that oxygen has four electrons in its outer (second) shell, and the two of them
are unpaired.we also know from HONC that oxygen likes to form two bondsa coincidence??
Lets work out the electron configuration of nitrogen and see if we get three unpaired electrons:
Nitrogen has _____ electrons, so the electron configuration with orbital notation is (be sure to spread
out your p electrons):
Does this orbital notation show 3 unpaired electrons??
If this makes sense, continue to the how to ace it guide.. If not, see me so we can do more examples.

How to ace the Electrons Exam
In this Unit our goal was to determine where the electrons are in atoms. To find out, we performed two
experiments that revealed the sharp lines that excited pure elements produced. We then analyzed this
data from a historical perspective, beginning with the work of Niels Bohr. For this we needed to review the properties of light, including frequency, wavelength, energy, and, common types. This involved the
use of the speed of light equation (s = wf) and an understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum. We
then showed how the key mathematical solutions of Balmer and Rydberg allowed Bohr to put it all together to postulate energy levels, where atomic emission explains light, and produces the spectral lines
observed for all elements.
This was followed by a detailed look at the electron around the nucleus. We found that not only do
electrons reside in shells, there are also subshells or orbitals within each shell. We observed how
they spread out within an orbital (Hunds Rule), and even how they spin when near each other (the Pauli Principle). We learned the configurations of electrons for all elements following the Aufbau Order, and how to write it all down by electron position, configuration, or orbital notation. This can rapidly tell us
how many electrons are in each shell and subshell, the spin of each electron, and the number of unpaired
electrons.
The limits of observation of the electron are a result of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Princliple, which
states that it is impossible to measure the position and velocity of an electron simultaneously, due to the
extreme sensitivity of the electron. Finally, we showed how valence is easy to determine using the periodic table, and that valence may be drawn using electron dot formulas, also known as Lewis Dot
Formulas.
During this study we found that the periodic table is well designed to show the number of valence
electrons for any element. In our next unit we will apply this to our understanding of the periodic table.

The Periodic Table
Unit 6
Introduction
The universe is composed of approximately 120 elements. These are pure substances with a fixed
number of protons: hydrogen has 1, helium 2, carbon 6 etc.
They could be listed in a few rows:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49
50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93
94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120
But that wouldnt really tell us much.
Or maybe they could be organized another way, since for example 5 x 4 x 3 x2 x 1 = 120 but would
there be a reason for organizing it that way?
If the universe only has about 120 elements, it seems reasonable to expect some sort of organization
to them. That is what the periodic table is about: trying to figure out how the most basic matter in the
universe is organized.
But theres a problem. The periodic table just
doesnt look right. Here it is below:
An important concept in science is known as
Occams Razor, which suggests that the simplest
answer tends to be the right one.
In the table on the left most rows and columns are
of different length, and it is in two pieces. This is
not a simple table. Could it be that we humans just havent figured it out yet? Im hoping you can do
better. Somebody should.
What is the periodic table good for?

Salt Adventure Lab 20 Points
Introduction: Ionic compounds are everywhere. Sometimes simply called salts, we add them to food (sodium chloride), enhance our food (monosodium glutamate,
or MSG), preserve our food (sodium benzoate), or we may even take a bath in
them (magnesium sulfate, or Epsom salts.) Ionic compounds are substances that
contain a cationic metal (M+) bonded to an anionic nonmetal (NM-). NaCl, for
example, is an ionic compound.
In this lab our goals are to explore the physical and chemical behavior of these salts. Are they
reactive? Are they soluble in water? Can we predict the products of a reaction? Do the individual
ions show trends in terms of solubility or color?
Procedure:
1. We have about 7 different types of dissolved salts, and wed like to perform every possible
individual chemical reaction- this is known as a combinatorial array. Create a 7 x7 grid below to record your observations. Use the symbols C (color change), P (precipitate), O (outgassing)
or NR (no reaction) to record your results.
