WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

Based on the above activity and by applying Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, I

therefore conclude that the location of electrons in an atom is not possible to measure.
Both the momentum and position or location of a particle like the electron cannot
be measured simultaneously.

 WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

I have learned that electron configuration is the distribution of electrons in

different orbital shells and subshells. The mnemonic device is followed in writing the
electron configuration of elements. When writing an electron configuration,
first write the energy level (the period), then the subshell to be filled and the
superscript, which is the number of electrons in that subshell.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

A PERIOD NUMBER is the number that is given to a group of elements across the

periodic table that have made a round from completing its outer electron shell. The
GROUP NUMBER in the periodic table represents number of valence electrons of
the elements in a certain group. An ELECTRON PAIR or a Lewis pair consists of
two electrons that occupy the same molecular orbital but have opposite spins
An UNPAIRED ELECTRON is an electron that occupies an orbital of an atom singly,
rather than as part of an electron pair.

What I have learned:

The following may include as an answer:
  Ionic compounds conduct electricity when in solution but not on solid phase.
 Ionic compounds are generally soluble in water and in polar solvents.
While covalent compounds are non-conductors of electricity in the solid phase and in solution.

They have lower melting temperature than ionic compounds.

WEEK 2 -DAY 2

What’s new

1. As the forces of attraction between the molecules are weak in nature, a small amount of
energy is sufficient to overcome them. Hence the melting point of covalent compounds
are lower than those of ionic compounds.
2. The melting points of ionic compounds are high because of the strong electrostatic
forces of attraction present between the ions.

 1. The lateritic soils, ie, soils rich in oxides of aluminum, iron, and silicon, are
abundant in tropical regions. They are another good example of materials that
provide strong interparticle bonds between particles in cyclic wetting and drying
processes in nature.

2. Electrical current is the movement of charged particles, either electrons or ions,

through a conductor. A voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell that uses a chemical
reaction to produce electrical energy.

3. Negative ions are smaller and lighter and are more likely to become airborne
while positive ions are heavier and tend to fall to the ground. Thus the
concentration of negative ions is greater in the atmosphere near moving water.
Rainstorms, waterfalls, rain showers, rivers and crashing waves are natural
negative ion generators.

H2O. The attractive force between a hyrdrogen atom is covalently bonded to a
highly electronegative atom and another. The snowflake is symetrical.

5. The formation of water molecules in these clouds collide with one another,
chipping off electrons and creating an electric charge. Fission occurs due to the
separation between the positively and negatively charged particles in the upper
and bottom portions of the clouds, respectively. At the same time, the negatively
charged particles, or electrons, migrate to the bottom of the clouds. These
electrons create a repulsion towards the electrons on earth’s surface that causes
positively charged particles or protons to move up to the ground’s surface.
