Module 2 Science Journal

Lesson 1 Practice 1 – Atoms: The Space Between Video

1. What are some characteristics of the "space" inside an atom?

Mostly empty space with electrons orbiting the nucleus.


Dense, small nucleus containing protons and neutrons.
Electrically neutral.

2. If an atom is mostly empty space, what keeps other matter


from moving through the space inside an atom?

Electrons repel other negatively charged particles.


Electromagnetic force causes same charge particles to repel
each other.

3. To get an idea of the size of the parts of an atom, including the


nucleus and the amount of space, the video segment compares
a courtyard at Cambridge University and a bit smaller than a
grain of sand.  Think of another comparison that uses places or
objects that are familiar to you.   

To give you an idea of the size of an atom, think of a basketball court


with a single pea in the center. The pea represents the nucleus,
while the rest of the court represents the electrons orbiting the
nucleus.

Reflection: What was the overall idea of this video?

The overall video was talking about the structure of matter


at the atomic level.
Lesson 1 Practice 2 – Tutorial on Atomic Structure

Complete a screenshot of the review game after completing the


Atomic Structure Tutorial showing that you won and post the
screenshot below.

Lesson 1 Practice 3 – Element Identification Flashcards

Contact your teacher via text, Bb IM, Google Chat or phone call (this
will also count as your weekly contact!) to let him/her know how you
did on this activity.

Lesson 2 Practice 1 – Interactive Electromagnetic Spectrum

1. Describe the relationship between wavelength and frequency


as you move through all parts of the Electromagnetic
Spectrum.

As you move through all parts of the Electromagnetic


Spectrum, the wavelength and frequency of the waves
are inversely proportional to each other. This means
that as the wavelength of a wave increases, its
frequency decreases.
2. Describe the relationship between frequency and energy as
you move through all parts of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

As you move through all parts of the Electromagnetic


Spectrum, the frequency and energy of the waves are
directly proportional to each other. This means that as the
frequency of a wave increases, its energy increases

Lesson 2 Practice 2 – Electron Transitions Interactive

Explain the Bohr Model and how electron transitions release and
absorb energy.   Your reflection must include the following terms:
photon, orbit, wavelength, emit, energy level,
electromagnetic radiation. 

The Bohr Model describes electrons orbiting the nucleus of


an atom in energy levels. Electrons can move between
energy levels by emitting or absorbing energy in the form of
photons. When electrons move down to lower energy levels,
they emit photons with a specific wavelength, a process
known as emission. Conversely, when electrons absorb
energy, they move to higher energy levels, a process known
as absorption. The energy of a photon is related to its
wavelength, and as electrons move between energy levels,
they emit or absorb photons of specific wavelengths, which
are a form of electromagnetic radiation.

Lesson 3 Practice 1 – Electron Configuration Interactive

Reflection: Describe the process of creating an electron


configuration.
Creating an electron configuration involves adding electrons
to different energy levels and sublevels in an atom, following
the Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund's
rule. The electron configuration is written with the number
of electrons in each sublevel as a superscript, and the
sublevel is represented by a letter (s, p, d, f).

Post a screenshot of your finished electron configuration with


arrows (not the written version you write down) for sodium below:

Lesson 3 Practice 2 – Electron Configuration Flashcards


Record the answers to the following questions after viewing the
flashcards:
1. What is the shape of the s orbital?
The shape of the s orbital is spherical.
2. How many electrons can the d orbital hold?
10
3. How many electrons can the 2s hold?
The 2s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
4. The s orbital can hold how many electrons?
The s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
5. What is the electron configuration for Al?
The electron configuration for Al is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1.
6. Which sublevel has the highest energy?
The sublevel with the highest energy is the f sublevel
7. How many electrons can 4d hold?
The 4d orbital can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.
8. What is the shape of the p orbital?
The shape of the p orbital is dumbbell-shaped.
9. How many electrons can 5p hold?
The 5p orbital can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.
10. How many times did you view the flashcards?
4 times

Lesson 4 Practice 1 – Radiation Tutorial

What observations and/or conclusions about radiation can be made


based on this tutorial? Use the terms alpha, beta, gamma,
radiation, and decay in your answer. Your answer should be 4-5
sentences long.
This tutorial provides information about alpha, beta, and
gamma radiation. Alpha radiation consists of helium nuclei,
beta radiation consists of electrons or positrons, and gamma
radiation consists of high-energy photons. The tutorial also
discusses the process of radioactive decay, which occurs
when an unstable nucleus emits radiation in the form of
alpha, beta, or gamma particles. From this tutorial, we can
conclude that radiation is a natural process that occurs when
unstable nuclei decay and emit alpha, beta, or gamma
particles.

Lesson 4 Practice 2 – Nuclear Decay Gizmo. This assignment


is submitted separately as a file upload. You do not need to
record any information in the Journal for this assignment.

You will submit this Science Journal as a grade in the course. Save the
document as Module 2 Science Journal_YOUR NAME and then submit the file
using the submission link in your Moodle course (found in the same location you
opened this file). Please let me know if you have any questions.
