Final Project Science Santiago Ortiz

Santiago Ortiz researched three elements for a 4th grade science term project. He provided information about calcium, oxygen, and aluminum in a chart including their atomic structure, bonding preferences, common compounds they form, and physical/chemical properties. Some key facts about each element included that calcium forms ionic bonds, oxygen prefers covalent bonds, and aluminum is a reactive metal. Santiago also listed interesting facts about each element and how chemistry could help address global issues related to water, nutrition, and health in the future.

*Include correct
number of shells,
protons, neutrons
and electrons.*
(towards IM1)

What kind of
bonds does your
element prefer
and why? (Ionic
or covalent)
*Think about
number of shells,
electrons and
charges.*

When calcium
has reacted
with another
element to
form a
calcium
compound the
compound is
an ionic bond.
Ionic bonds
are for metal
+ non-metal
compounds.
For example,

Oxigen
Aluminium
O
AL

Aluminium prefer
covalent because when
the covalent bonding is
all ready done it get
more stability to the
element and that what
the aluminium does.

It will prefer covalent


because they have all
ready 6 valence
electrons and only
need two more by
sharing so it is
complete.

calcium
carbonate
(CaCO3),
calcium oxide
(CaO),
calcium
hydroxide
(CaOH2), etc.

Find a common
element that your
element bonds
with. Draw your
element and the
new element and
explain how they
bond.
*Think about
number of
electrons on each
elements outer
shell.*

Aluminium is a very
reactive metal, when it
gets to the atmosphere a
thin layer of oxide is
made quickly.
Aluminium reacts
strongly with
hydrochloric acid and
caustic soda.

Where in the
In the earth because
universe will you is the 5th most
find this element? abundant element in
the Earth and it
covers 3% of Earth
crust.

In mines.

Everywhere.

What do people
in Colombia or

What do you
consider will be
the role of
chemistry in the
future in terms
of
C2

To do cement.

Global water supply

Chemistry will help


that they will create
some bacteria that
will clean the water.

World Nutrition

I think they will help


that they will create a
food made of lots of
elements that will help
to get better nutrition.

Global Health

I think they will create


a medicine that will
help the growing of the
children.
