ELEMENTS, COMPOUNDS, MIXTURES, AND

SOLUTIONSA RESEARCH, REVIEW AND PREVIEW WEB QUEST

BY MRS. AMY JO HOFBAUER

STEP 1

• REVIEW THE CONCEPTS OF MIXTURES, COMPOUNDS, AND ELEMENTS USING THE FOLLOWING LINKS

• MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION, SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR BEST HELP

• BASICS OF ELEMENTS, COMPOUNDS, AND MIXTURES WITH PICTURES

STEP 2

• CREATE A TABLE WITH 25 ROWS AND 4 COLUMNS

• COLUMN 1- NAME OF SUBSTANCE

• COLUMN 2 – ELEMENT, COMPOUND, OR MIXTURE

• COLUMN 3 – DESCRIPTION OF PURPOSE, OR USE

• COLUMN 4 – (YOU NEED TO CREATE A CATEGORY BASED ON WHAT YOU LEARN.)

CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING TOPICS

• FUEL AND SPEED

• STRUCTURES AND BUILDINGS

• ARTS AND ARCHITECTURE

RESEARCH

• WITH THE HYPERLINKS LOOK FOR 25 SUBSTANCES USED IN THE INDUSTRY OF YOUR CHOICE

• FIND ONE EXTRA WEBSITE NOT LISTED AS A HYPERLINK

• DETERMINE WHETHER EACH SUBSTANCE IS AN ELEMENT, MIXTURE, OR COMPOUND

• DESCRIBE THE PURPOSE, OR USE OF EACH SUBSTANCE

• CREATE A CATEGORY THAT IS UNIQUE TO THE INDUSTRY OF YOUR CHOICE, AND FILL IN THE TABLE FOR EACH SUBSTANCE

• !!!IMPORTANT!!! 1. LABEL AND NUMBER YOUR TABLE 2. LIST THE WEBSITE NAMES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TABLE 3. INCLUDE ONE NEW WEBSITE THAT YOU FOUND

RESULTS

• IN PARAGRAPH FORM, AND IN THIRD PERSON WRITE THE RESULTS OF YOUR ONLINE RESEARCH.

• INCLUDE:

1. A REFERENCE TO YOUR TABLE FOR EXAMPLE “ACCORDING TO TABLE 1…”

2. INCLUDE A REFERENCE TO AT LEAST TWO WEBSITES FOR EXAMPLE “ACCORDING TO ….”

3. COMPARE THE NUMBER OF ELEMENTS VS COMPOUNDS VS MIXTURES USED IN THE INDUSTRY. 4. BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THE MOST COMMON USES THE 25 SUBSTANCES. !!!IMPORTANT!!!! DO NOT LIST ALL THE SUBSTANCES HERE.

5. EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CATEGORY YOU CHOSE !!!!REMEMBER!!!!THIS IS THIRD PERSON. SO DO NOT SAY, “I CHOSE …” OR “I LIKE…” RATHER SAY, “ ….. IS IMPORTANT..”

FUEL AND SPEED

• WHERE ARE HYPERGOLIC FUELS USED?

• CAN NASCAR DRIVERS CHEAT WITH SPECIAL FUEL?

• TYPES OF FUEL USED BY NASCAR

STRUCTURES AND BUILDINGS

• WHAT IS COR TEN?

• IF ALL STEEL IS A CARBON/IRON ALLOY, THEN WHAT IS ALLOY STEEL?

• CHEMISTRY OF CONCRETE

ART AND ARCHITECTURE

• HOUSES MADE WITH COR TEN

• SCULPTURES MADE OF STEEL

• THE CHEMISTRY OF PAINT

HOW WILL I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ELEMENT, COMPOUND, AND

MIXTURE ON A TEST?COMPOUND REVIEW

• A COMPOUND NAME ENDS IN ‘ –IDE’ SUCH AS IRON OXIDE, OR CARBON MONOXIDE.

• A COMPOUND IS A METAL WITH A NONMETAL CALCIUM CHLORIDE OR TWO NONMETALS SUCH AS CARBON MONOXIDE, OR A NONMETAL WITH A SEMIMETAL SUCH AS SILICON DIOXIDE HINT “USE YOUR PERIODIC TABLE TO FIND METALS, SEMIMETALS, AND NONMETALS”

• A COMPOUND IS MADE OF ELEMENTS COMBINED IN A RATIO THAT IS FIXED. THE FORMULA SHOWS THE NUMBER OF EACH TYPE OF ATOM IN A COMPOUND. FOR

EXAMPLE IN CaF2THERE ARE 2 FLUORINE ATOMS FOR EVERY CALCIUM ATOM.

ELEMENT REVIEW

• ALL ELEMENTS ARE NAMED IN YOUR PERIODIC TABLE

TIPS FOR RECOGNIZING MIXTURES

• THERE ARE TWO METALS TOGETHER OR METAL WITH A SEMIMETAL

• YOU SEE THE NAME OF AN ALLOY (A METAL YOU RECOGNIZE THAT IS NOT ON THE PERIODIC TABLE SUCH AS BRASS, OR STEEL)

• THERE ARE TWO COMPOUNDS TOGETHER

• THERE ARE TWO ELEMENTS TOGETHER

• THERE IS AN ELEMENT AND A COMPOUND TOGETHER

• IMPORTANT-MIXTURES CAN VARY IN THE AMOUNTS OF THINGS BEING MIXED (STEEL CAN BE LOW CARBON MEDIUM CARBON, OR HIGH CARBON DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF CARBON AND IRON IN THE MIXTURE.

WHY AM I LEARNING THIS?

WHAT WILL IN NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MIXTURE, COMPOUNDS AND ELEMENTS IN THE FUTURE?

• YOU WILL BE NAMING COMPOUNDS IN THE FUTURE SUCH AS IONIC COMPOUNDS (SALTS) AND COVALENT COMPOUNDS (MOSTLY LIQUIDS, GASES, AND ORGANIC MATERIAL)

• YOU WILL BE LEARNING THE TYPES OF BONDS BETWEEN TWO NONMETALS SUCH AS PI AND SIGMA BONDS OR DOUBLE SINGLE AND TRIPLE BONDS

• YOU WILL BE LEARNING INTERMOLECULAR ATTRACTIONS OF IONIC COMPOUNDS TO EACH OTHER

• YOU WILL BE LEARNING ELECTRON FLOW IN TWO METALS

• YOU WILL LEARN THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF COMPOUNDS, MIXTURES AND ELEMENTS. PROPERTIES MAY INCLUDE: ELECTRICAL CONDUCTANCE, HEAT CONDUCTANCE, BOILING POINT, MELTING POINTS, VOLATILITY, TENSILE STRENGTH, DUCTILE STRENGTH AND CHEMICAL REACTIONS
