Fixing Basic Ideas

1. Provided the Venn Diagram as your guide, define what elements, atoms, molecules, and
compounds are, respectively.
ELEMENTS: consists of an atom and can exist as atom
or molecules.

ATOMS: are the smallest particle that are made from

subatomic particles called protons, neutrons
and electrons.

MOLECULES: are combination of atoms and the

elements are definite and fixed ratios.

COMPOUNDS: a substance that consists of two or

more different elements that have been chemically
2. List down two (2) substances you can joined. It can be broken down through chemical means
find at home. Provide the following but not by physical means.
information for each.
a. Common/household name
b. Chemical symbol
c. Chemical composition
d. Sketch/picture (if you find it difficult to draw, cut and paste a photo of it)
e. Physical properties and use
a. Chlorine

b. Cl

c. hydrogen chloride

d.
e. Physical Properties:

- greenish-yellow gas

-melting point of -100.98°C

-boiling point of -34.6°C

-density of 3.214 g/l

-specific gravity of 1.56 (-33.6°C)

-valence of 1, 3, 5, or 7.

Uses:

 -used in many everyday products

- used for disinfecting drinking water

- used as a chemical warfare agent

a. Charcoal

b. C7H4O

c. mostly pure carbon

d.

e. Physical Properties:

-porosity

-low density

-bad heat

-electricity conductivity

- density can vary between 0.2 and 0.6 t/m3 depending on the density of raw materials (wood)

- size is in the range of 180 - 220 kg/m3

- as gravity increases; absorbing power of charcoal increases

-temperatures exceeding 1,100 degrees Celsius (2,010 degrees Fahrenheit)

Uses:

- Used as metallurgical fuel

- Used as cooking and heating fuel
 - Used for the production of iron

Self-Testing Questions
1. List down ten (10) common isotopes and their uses.

Stable isotopes are dependable tools that determine facts about geological materials (age and where they came
from).

Carbon-14 -used in determining the age of once-living artifacts.

Cobalt-60 –used for teletherapy

Iodine-131 -help destroy the tumor cells for thyroid cancer treatment

Technetium-99 -used as a medical diagnostic tool

Phosphorus-32 – used to detect and treat cancer

Sodium-24 – used to detect the position of blood clots in the blood vessels

Hydrogen-3- used for safety signs

Potassium-40 – used for geological dating

Uranium- 235- used for nuclear reactors

Xenon-133- for imaging the lungs and evaluation of pulmonary function

2. How were the atomic masses of the elements determined? What was the basis of determination?
Atomic mass is determined by the average weight of an element form. It is the average mass off all the isotopes
of a certain type.

3. Why are some atomic masses not whole numbers?

Because of isotopes for some natural elements contain two or more different isotopes.

4. Explain why the Law of Definite Composition does not apply to a mixture.
No, because the Law of Definite Composition only
applies to compounds and chemical compounds are
formed of constant and defined or same mass ratios.
5. What is a mole? How is the mole concept useful to a chemist?
A mole is the number of particles that you have and not
the mass so not everything would weigh the same but
the number of it. It is the unit amount in chemistry and
defined as 6.02 x 1023 .It is a way for chemists to
measure very small things.
