Bohr- Niels Henrik David Bohr was a Danish
physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic
structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in
Physics in 1922.

Atomic Mass- t​ he mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in 
atomic mass units. It is approximately equivalent to the number of 
protons and neutrons in the atom (the mass number) or to the average 
number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes. 
 
Charge- also known as electric charge, electrical charge, or electrostatic 
charge and symbolized q, is a characteristic of a unit of matter that 

expresses the extent to which it has more or fewer electrons than protons. 
... In a massive sample, this can amount to a considerable quantity of 
elementary charges. 

Valence Electrons- ​In chemistry, a valence electron is an outer 
shell  `  electron that is associated with an atom, and that can 
participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not 
closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bonds contribute one 
valence electron in order to form a shared pair. 
  

Isotopes  
 
 
Mendeleev​-In 1869, just five years after John Newlands put forward his law 
of octaves, a Russian chemist named Dmitri Mendeleev published a 
periodic table. Mendeleev Also arranged the elements known at the time in 
order of relative atomic mass, but he did some other things that made his 
table much more successful.

 
 

 
Definitions 

a. Nucleus 
The central part of an atom, which contains the protons and 

neutrons.  
b. Protons 
A particle containing a positive charge that goes in the 

nucleus. atom 
c. Neutrons 
A particle containing mass that goes in the nucleus of an 

atom 
d. Electrons 
Particles with a negative charge that go on the outside, and 

surround the nucleus.  
e. Atomic Mass 

The mass of an atom in atomic units. About equivalent to the 
mass of amount of protons and neutrons in an atoms 
f. Charge 
A charge is something that is assigned to an atom that can 
be based on its location on the periodic table 
g. Valence Electrons 
Valence Electrons are outer shell electrons, and can be 
transferred to other atoms.   
They can be used for other atoms that are in need of 
electrons to balance, or stabilize them.  

 
 
What is the difference between.. 
Sodium Chloride and Magnesium Chloride 


Magnesium Chloride is made of Magnesium and Chlorine, while Sodium

Chloride is made of Sodium and Chlorine. The clear difference is the
elements that are used to make the different compounds. The difference in

elements can affect the mass and charge of the elements.

Average Atomic Mass Calculations
1. Naturally occurring chlorine that is put in pools is 75.53 percent 35Cl
(mass = 34.969 amu) and 24.47 percent 37Cl (mass = 36.966 amu).
Calculate the average atomic mass of chlorine.

75.53 * 0.34969= 26.412085
24.47 * 0.36966= 9.0455802
35.457665

2. Calculate the atomic mass of silicon. The three silicon isotopes have
atomic masses and relative abundances of 27.9769 amu (92.2297%),
28.9765 amu (4.6832%) and 29.9738 amu (3.0872%).

27.9769 * 0.922297= 25.80301
28.9765 * 0.046832= 1.3570274
29.9765 * 0.030872= 0.9254345
28.085471

Writing:

Use on​e of the examples above to discuss how y​ ou determine the number
of neutrons for each isotope. You also need to discuss how the
%abundance contributed to the Average Atomic Mass of the element.
(HINT: Think of the M&M Lab!)

Finding the amount of neutrons is pretty easy. If people get to know how to
do, it will be really easy to do it the next time. First off, you need to find the
atomic mass of the element you are looking for. To find this, you have to go
on your periodic table and find your element. Once you find it, you subtract
the overall mass of isotopes you are trying to find and then boom, you have
your amount of neutrons. This is because the amount of protons and
neutrons can be found in the nucleus together. The atomic number is the
amount of protons. So if you subtract the total amount of protons in the
isotope given then you would be left with the amount of protons. Finding
the amount of neutrons is very easy if you listen is follow the steps.

The abundance contributed to the average atomic mass. To find this you
must first moved the decimal 2 places up

Story:

We were breaking the rules and we snuck out of the science
class and were hanging out in the hallway during class. We walked
18 meters to the middle of the hallway near the double doors at a
velocity of 1.96 meters per second until Mr. Woods came walking
down the hallway. To hide, we fast walked 10 meters into Ms.
Montano’s room at a velocity of 2.12 meters per second and stood in
the doorway for eight seconds, traveling 0 meters at a velocity of 0
meters per second. Then we tip toed back to the double doors
traveling 10 meters at a velocity of 1.63 meters per second, checking
that Mr. Woods wasn’t there anymore. He was still there, making sure
nobody was sneaking out so we booked it to the water fountain,
running 16 meters at a velocity of 4.73 meters per second. We all
pretended to be getting a drink, which took 15 seconds, traveling 0
meters at a velocity of 0 meters per second. Feeling like we were
going to get caught, we walked backed to Mr. Lopez's science class,
traveling 7 meters at a velocity of 1.48 meters per second.

19. For many years, the posted highway speed limit was 88.5 km/hr (55 mi/hr)
but in recent years some rural stretches of highway have increased their
speed limit to 104.6 km/hr (65 mi/hr). In Maine, the distance from Portland
to Bangor is 215 km. How much time can be saved in making this trip at the
new speed limit?
Travel at 88.5km/hr, T=215km/88.5km/hr=2.43hr

20. The tortoise and the hare are in a road race to defend the honor of their
breed. The tortoise crawls the entire 1000. m distance at a speed of 0.2000
m/s while the rabbit runs the first 200.0 m at 2.000 m/s The rabbit then

stops to take a nap for 1.300 hr and awakens to finish the last 800.0 m with
an average speed of 3.000 m/s. Who wins the race and by how much time?
Time for rabbit to travel
1000m=(200m/2m/s)+1.3hr+(800m/3m/s)=100s+(1.3*3600)s+266.7s=5046.7s
Time for tortoise to travel 1000m=1000m/0.2m/s=5000s
The tortoise win the race.

21. Two physics professors challenge each other to a 100. m race across the
football field. The loser will grade the winner's physics labs for one month.
Dr. Rice runs the race in 10.40 s. Dr. De La Paz runs the first 25.0 m with
an average speed of 10.0 m/s, the next 50.0 m with an average speed of 9.50
m/s, and the last 25.0 m with an average speed of 11.1 m/s. Who gets stuck
grading physics labs for the next month?

Time for Dr De La Paz to run
100m=25m/10m/s+50m/9.5m/s+25m/11.1m/s=2.5s+5.3s+2.3s=10.1s
Time for Dr Rice to run 100m=10.4s
Dr Rice lost and will be grading physics lab for the next month.

4. What would like to see in this city when you arrive? What tourist
attraction? What restaurant would you like to visit in this city?
Provide pictures
What is the basic history of this city?
The first place I would go is definitely Disneyland, because I would want to
see how different or similar it is to Disneyworld, which I have been going to
for as long as I could remember. I would also go to the Hollywood walk of
fame, because it would be cool to see familiar celebrities names and would
also be a good photo opportunity. The last place I would make sure to go to
is the Hollywood sign, because it is a big tourist attraction and it would be a
cool experience to see it as well as another good photo opportunity. For a
restaurant, I would go to Perch, which is a French rooftop restaurant that
has a great view of the Los Angeles skyline and sunset. I would most likely
stay at an affordable hotel or condo that is close to downtown LA, and
would rely on taxi services for transportation.

Conclusion:
The purpose of this experiment was to find the velocity of the roller
coaster on this planet to help you with your design. They are building
the next roller coaster on the planet Hoth in Star Wars. Our
independent variable is gravity and our dependent variable is The
velocity. My hypothesis of this experiment was the it wasn't going to
be good on Hoth because because we need to find a whole new safety
plan because it has a different gravity. Our data came out great but
the roller coaster might not work because its too fast so we need time
to think about the safety out of the roller coaster. The average speed
of a roller coaster is 81 mph. Which is 36.21. The speed of the roller
coaster on hoth is 127 mph which is 57.93530875 m/s. But the roller
coaster might work since its in a different gravity.

Extra Problems:

1. The Millenium Falcon Roller Coaster has a mass of 3200 kg on
Planet Tatooine. The height of the roller coaster is 15 m which
results in a Potential Energy of 800,000 J. What is the gravity on
Planet Tatooine?

GPE/mh=g
800000j/15m x 3200=16.6
G=16.6 m/s2

2. The Tie Fighter Roller Coaster has a height of 150 m. on Planet
Hoth. Hoth has a gravity of 5.2 m/s2​ ​. This roller coaster has a
Potential Energy of 600,000 J. What is the mass of the Tie Fighter?

GPE/gh=M
600000j/5.2 x 150= 769.2307692
M= 769.2307692 kg

Inclined plane Quiz-
QUIZ: Inclined Plane

QUIZ: W​ ednesday and Thursday

Directions: A​ nalyze the Inclined Plane Data Table that is shared on
Classroom and determine which machine has the greatest Actual
Mechanical Advantage (AMA).
Problem Statement:

How does the angle of an inclined plane affect the Mechanical
Advantage? Is there a machine that is impossible? Explain using
data.
If the angle increases the the Mechanical advantage will decrease
because the higher the angle the lower the force it's going to take to
pull something up a amount of height. There an impossible machine.
It is impossible because the efficiency of the machine was over 100.
For the ramp that has the 46 degrees, the efficiency was over 100, it
was 105%. Which making it impossible.

Hypothesis: ​(Use proper form!)
If the angle increases then mechanical advantage decreases.

Conclusion:
Option #1 Write a Conclusion.
***Your conclusion must also address which machine would be impossible
and why?

1. Discuss purpose
2. Restate hypothesis - angle and mechanical advantage
3. Data to support hypothesis
4. Is there a machine that is impossible? Explain using research on

the Law of Conservation of Energy (Support with research - Use
Explore Tool research - INLINE CITATIONS )1
5. Use this source to explain the relationship of this machine to
Newton’s First Law of Motion.\

The purpose of our experiment is to find out w​ hether If th​e angle
increases the mechanical advantage decreases. If the angle
increases the the Mechanical advantage will decrease because the
higher the angle the lower the force it's going to take to pull
something up a amount of height. We did this experiment and our
data shows that when the angle increa​ se​ the Mechanical Advantage
decreases. When the angle was 13 the Mechanical advantage was 3
and when the angle was 19 the mechanical advantage was 2. There
is a impossible machine. The angle was 46 degree and the
mechanical advantage went down. For that machine the efficiency
was 105%, which making it impossible. To make a machine possible
the efficiency the has to be under 100. The two possible machines
had an efficiency of 70 percent.Machines has a relationship with
Newton's first law because in the that law he said¨e​ very object will
remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless
compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.¨
which​ means the force will stay rest if no force attacks it. For
example the inclined plane, I​ f th​ere's something going up an
inclined plane, it needs force to attack it.

2. Provide a diagram showing molecular motion in Solids, Liquids,
and gases.
*How are they different?

All solids liquids and gases are made up of molecules. As shown in the
diagram, as the solid gets more heat energy added to it, the molecules start
to move around more . As more energy is collected by the liquid, the
molecules become much more far apart from each other.This in turn makes
it go through a phase change into a gas. For example, as you add energy
to ice, those molecules move around faster and when enough energy is
absorbed by those molecules to make the entirety ice more than 0 degrees
celsius, the solid becomes a liquid. When even more heat energy is added
to the water and it becomes 100 degrees celsius, and as a result of this,
the liquid turns into a gas. The way the molecules react depends on the
amount of heat added to the solid, liquid, or gas.

3. Discuss the energy needed to change a 15 gram ice cube into
steam. Use a graph and one calculation from our unit on Phase
Changes.
0℃ ice => 0℃ water: 335.55J/g * 15g = 5033.25 J
0℃ water =>100℃ water: 4.186J/g * 15g * 100℃ = 6279 J

100℃ water => 100℃ steam: 2257J/g * 15g = 33855 J
Total = 5033.25 J + 6279 J + 33855 J = 45167.25 J

4. What is the difference between Heat and Temperature? Provide a
definition, picture and video link to help you review.
Heat is the amount of kinetic energy of an objects moving molecules.
Temperature is the measure of the average heat energy of molecules.

5. Construct a graph showing the average monthly temperatures in
Hartford, CT., a city on the equator and a city in the Southern
Hemisphere.
Questions:

.
1. How is heat transferred throughout the Earth?

With this information, I believe that heat from the sun strikes it’s strongest
at the equator. As you move further from the equator and travel across the
Earth, the heat weakens causing it to be colder and colder as you move
further away from the equator. But, because of the Earth’s orbit around the
Sun, we still experience warmer weather during the summer months.

4. How is Steam used to create electricity in Power Plants?

C. Nuclear Plant
The nuclear reactor inside the nuclear power plant generates heat. The
heat is used to generate steam and power a steam turbine. That turbine is
connected to a generator which creates electricity.

D. Where did Fossil Fuels originate?

When the die off of ancient species like the dinosaurs and different plant
life happened, all the dead carcuses and plants sank to the bottom of
swamps and oceans. They formed layers and layers of spongy materials
called peat. After hundreds and thousands of years, layers and layers of
rocks piled more and more on top of the peat squeezing out all of the
water. After millions of years, the peat became coal, oil, petroleum, or
natural gas..

E. What is the difference between Renewable and NonRenewable forms of
energy?
The difference between Renewable and NonRenewable forms of energy is
that renewable energy sources can be replenished and reused naturally
and over a short period of time. Nonrenewable energy sources are often in
short supply and take a long time, if ever, to be replenished.

Part II - Water, Orange Juice and Vegetable Oil
1. Conduct an experiment to determine the Heat Gained by 20 g of each
substance
2. You must measure the mass of Orange Juice and Vegetable Oil.
3. Research the Specific Heats of Orange Juice and Vegetable Oil in
Calories/g C not in Joules.
4. Make a data table
5. Construct a 3 Line graph for 2 minutes of data collection - 1 pt every 10
seconds
6. Write a conclusion about your results.

Critical Thinking Questions
1. What happens to the molecules in each of the beakers as heat is added?
2. Which substance showed the greatest temperature change? Least? Use
data

3. Which substance does research say should show the greatest
temperature increase? Least? Why? How does this relate to Specific
Heat?
4. How does Average Kinetic Energy relate to this experiment?
5. Why is water a great substance to put into a car engine radiator?

Practice Calculation
1. How much heat was gained by a 50 g sample of Orange Juice that
increased its temperature from 35 C to 75 C?

Heat Gain = m * change in Temperature * SH
Heat Gain = 50g * 40 C * 1 cal/g C
Heat Gain = 2000 calories

2. How much heat was gained by a 350 g sample of Vegetable oil that
increased its temperature from 24 C to 95 C?

Heat Gain = m * change in Temperature * SH
Heat Gain = 350g * 71 C * 1 cal/g C
Heat Gain = 24850 calories

Critical Thinking - Choose 2 out of 3 to research
Provide pictures
1. How did NASA protect the astronauts in their space vehicles from the
harmful radiation from space?

There is a large amount of radiation in space. This radiation comes in
different forms such as UV rays, x rays, gamma rays, and small energy
particles. The easiest of these to repel are the UV rays. The suits are
covered with substance that cause the harmful UV rays to repulse. The x
rays and gamma rays however are much harder to protect against. The
lining that the suit would require would make it very heavy. The most of the
remaining atomic and subatomic particles are absorbed by the suit.The
small particles that contain radiation can’t even penetrate a piece of paper
making them not a very big threat . As for the deadlier rays with radiation,
they are so hard and inconvenient to protect astronauts against that it is
best to not even try.

2. How is your home insulated? Research the “R” value system for
insulation.

3. How does the atmosphere act as an insulator?
The different sections the atmosphere is made up of are the exosphere,
thermosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere. The atmosphere protects
the earth from getting overheated from the sun and also keeps in all of the
heat that resides within it. The ozone layer protects the Earth from the
radiation that comes from things like gamma rays.
