Activity No. 2: Atomic Structure

1. Draw and label the parts of an atom.
2.

What type of charge do the proton, neutron, and electron have?

Scientifically and empirically speaking, the charge of the

proton is the positive electrical charge, while the neutron has no
electric charge, whereas, the electron carries a negative charge.

3. Draw the atomic structure of strontium.

4. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does Sr have?

Rendering from the previous activity, the proton of the

element Strontium (Sr) is 38 however this element also has 30
electrons and its neutrons are 38.

1. What is the main difference between organic chemistry and

inorganic chemistry? Cite some examples.

Organic Chemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with

organic compounds. An organic compound is a chemical
compound that contains one or more carbon atoms as an essential
component. These carbon atom link to each other or other
chemical elements via covalent chemical bonds. Some examples
of organic chemistry are baking powder, coal, perfumes, soaps,
medicine, digestion, sunscreen, fructose, and glucose. On the
other hand, Inorganic chemistry deals with the study of compounds
that do not contain carbon. Therefore, there are no essential
carbon atoms or C-H bonds in these compounds. Examples: Iron
oxide, nitrogen oxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrochloride.

2. Why would a firefighter, pastry chef, expert in electricity,

environmental health inspector, and dental assistant need to
understand chemistry?

In my schemata, a firefighter needs to understand chemistry

for personal and public safety, to enhance the effectiveness of
 their efforts, and to prevent adding too many hazards present
during a fire. A firefighter uses his or her understanding of the
chemistry of building materials and furnishing as well as the
interaction of suppression of chemicals with fire. Meanwhile, pastry
chef needs to understand chemistry to aid in designing and
developing new food products for industries. Through this, the
pastry chef could be used the chemistry to initiate an array of
chemical reactions that could lead to the formation of either new or
improved food products and the improvement could be taste
enhancement, new aroma, color, or increased chef life.
However, an expert in electricity needs to understand
chemistry in a means that it is pivotal in their chosen field because
it helps them to know more about the materials that they are using
as well as inculcating themselves in chemistry will be a great
avenue to shape their knowledge about properties of compounds,
elements then they can apply their understanding for the future
purpose to know the working and mechanism of things that are
related to electricity.
Moreover, environmental health inspector also needs to
elucidate themselves about chemistry for a reason that being
exposed to high levels of air, water, and soil pollution can cause a
broad range of adverse health issue, and utilizing chemistry in their
career will pave them to find the solution in solving global public
health problems by providing detailed information on managing
environmental pollution. On the other hand, dental assistant needs
to enlighten themselves concerning the vital means of chemistry
because they bring significant value to dentistry and it can only
achieve if they have proper knowledge about chemistry especially
in taking care of the patient, treatment, and giving prescriptions
which are the dental assistant's imperative roles that is why they
need to understand chemistry to avoid wrong diagnosis and
remedy to their patient as they uplift as the assistant they must be
a responsible one.

3. How are various compounds formed by carbon?

Various compounds are formed by Carbon through chemical

reactions and chemical bonding processes. Carbon is the only
element that can form so many different compounds because each
carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms and
because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in
comfortably as parts of very large molecules.
4. What are the general characteristic of Organic compound?

Upon scrutinizing and understanding the reference, I found

out that some of the general characteristics of organic chemistry
are: first, Organic compounds contain carbon atoms. Usually,
these compounds are soluble in an organic solvent but not in
water. Second, another general characteristic of organic
compounds is that they are volatile, inflammable, possess low
boiling points and melting points, as well as, exhibit isomerism,
and, are non-conductors of electricity. Third, organic compounds
include complex structures and high molecular weights. Fourth,
organic compounds mostly depend on only three elements which
are carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. Lastly, this organic compound
is combustible.
