Learning for Success – Chemistry Learning Outcomes
- □ I can describe the evidences that led to the development of the atomic model consisting of protons and neutrons (nucleons) and electrons; i.e., Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr
- □ I have an awareness of WHMIS guidelines
- □ I can explain the importance of and need for the IUPAC system of naming compounds, in terms of the work that scientists do and the need to communicate clearly and precisely
- □ I can explain, using the periodic table, how and why elements combine to form compounds in specific ratios (Hint: think valence electron pairs)
- □ I can predict formulas and write names for ionic and molecular compounds using a periodic table, a table of ions and IUPAC rules
- □ I can classify ionic and molecular compounds, acids and bases on the basis of their properties; i.e., conductivity, pH, solubility, state
- □ I can relate the molecular structure of simple substances to their properties (e.g., describe how the properties of water are due to the polar nature of water molecules)
- □ I can use IUPAC rules to name common acids
- □ I can use a solubility chart to predict whether an ionic compound will be soluble or insoluble in water
- □ I can describe evidences for chemical changes
- □ I can differentiate between endothermic and exothermic reactions.
- □ I can determine whether or not photosynthesis or cellular respiration are endothermic or exothermic
- □ I can identify situations where chemical reactions as useful in my house and in industry.
- □ I can balance chemical equations
- □ I can identify and classify the following reactions:
- o Formation
- o Decomposition
- o Hydrocarbon combustion
- o Single Replacement
- o Double Replacement
- □ I can predict the products of a reaction when given the reactants
- □ I can define the mole
- □ I can interpret chemical equations in terms of moles of chemical species and relate the mole concept to the law of conservation of mass.
