Part V.
Directions:​ Write an essay about the graph below. ​Use data!
Vocabulary:​ Unsaturated, saturated, ​supersaturated​, Ions, Heat, Temperature, grams, solubility, chemical
formula.

This graph represents sodium phosphate, Na​3​PO​4​. The point on the graph is above the solubility curve
which makes it super saturated. If the point is above the line its super saturated. If the point is below the
line its unsaturated. If the point is on the line its saturated. The solubility graph is helpful because it helps
you figure out how much solute needs to dissolve at any certain temperature. As the temperature of the
solvent increases, the amount of dissolving solute increases. As the temperature increases more will
dissolve. The water is the solvent, and sodium phosphate is the solute. An example of a saturated solution
is 38 degrees and 70 grams/100g. Supersaturated is a solution that contains more solute than a saturated
substance. If sodium phosphate is saturated it would be 15 degrees and 25 grams/100 g. Saturated is a
solution that is holding as much solute as possible without going over to supersaturated. If sodium

phosphate is unsaturated then it would be 38 degrees and 25 grams/100 g. Unsaturated is a solution that

can dissolve more solute than its temperature.

Atomic Structure and 
Periodic Table 

​Olivia Ferraro 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

History of the Atom 

An atom is the basic unit of a chemical element. Every solid, liquid, 
and gas are composed of atoms. The world is made of atoms. The atom 
has three parts, protons, neutrons, and electrons. The proton is a particle 
is found in the nucleus of an atom. It has a positive electrical charge. The 
neutron is a particle found in the nucleus of most atom. Neutrons are very 
important in the atom because if the atom has equal numbers of protons 
and electrons, they cancel eachother out and has a neutral charge. The 
electron is a particle found around the nucleus of every atom. It has a 
negative charge and is the smallest particle out of the three. The electrons 
negative charge balances the protons positive charge in the nucleus.  

 
John Dalton is a very important figure  
in chemistry. He created the atomic theory 
which created the foundation for chemistry.  
In the atomic theory Dalton states ¨All matter  
is made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and 
indestructible. All atoms of a given element  
are identical in mass and properties. 
Compounds are formed by a combination of  
two or more different kinds of atoms. A 
chemical reaction is a ​rearrangement​ of atoms¨. John Dalton is explaining 
how everything is made up of atoms, yet we will never see or destroy them. 
Today, Dalton's theory has been investigated more. For example, we now 
know that atoms can be destroyed by nuclear reactions, and that there 
are different atoms depending on their mass.  
 
Joseph John Thomson discovered the 
electron in 1897. JJ Thomson was able to answer 
part of the question from John Dalton's discovery. 
Are atoms invisible, tiny spherical objects, or even 
tinier than that? When JJ Thomson discovered 
that electrons were much smaller than atoms 
which made him realize that atoms were not one 
hundred percent solid, indivisible, and atoms were 
made up of smaller subatomic particles. 
Subatomic particles   

are clusters of particles that make up an atom. JJ Thomson discovered the 
electron using the cathode ray tube experiment. He used a large glass 
tube that was sealed all over and contained no oxygen. It has two pieces of 
metal at the end that are connected and used as a power source. A ray 
would shoot from the first piece of metal and travel through the second 
piece of metal and hit the end of the glass tube leaving a special coating 
inside. This experiment also confirmed that the cathode ray is negatively 
charged.  
 

Ernest Rutherford discovered the nucleus in 1911, 
and proposed the name proton. Rutherford came up 
with the name proton shortly after World War 1 in 1920. 
He chose the name of the proton because of its 
positive charge in the nucleus. He suggested that all 
mass in the atom is in the nucleus. The nucleus is held 
together by the ¨strong force¨ which is one of the four 
basic forces in nature. The protons and neutrons 
conduct a force that overcomes an electrical force and 
pushes the protons apart. Based on the size of the 
nucleus the amount of force and size of atoms will vary. 
The atoms will then disintegrate into different elements such as carbon-14 
decaying into nitrogen-14. 
 

Niels Bohr discovered that electrons travel in 
different orbits around the nucleus, and that the 
amount of electrons effects the components of an 
element. He also created the liquid drop theory. The 
liquid drop theory is described as nuclear fission. The 
theory is that a droplet of water has the exact 
representation of an atom's nucleus. This theory was 
used in the attempt to split uranium atoms, and played 
a key role in developing atomic bombs. A fun fact 
about Neil Bohr is that the periodic element bohrium 
was named after him. "Never express yourself more 
clearly than you are able to think" - Niels Bohr 

 
 
 
 

 

Structure of the Atom 

The nucleus, protons, neutrons, and 
electrons​ are all parts of the atom. 
The  
neutrons, protons, and electrons orbit 
the nucleus. The nucleus is located in 
the center of the atom. In an atom two 
protons and two neutrons go in the 
nucleus, and two electrons orbit the 
second ring. An example of the 
structure of an atom is carbon. In 
carbon there would be six protons and six neutrons. If there are six 
protons that also means there are six electrons. Then, two electrons will go 
in the second orbital and four will go in the third orbital. When placing 
electrons on the third orbital they go in the way a clock turns, twelve, three, 
six, and nine o´clock.  

 
Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. It's basically the sum of protons 
and neutrons. An example is nitrogen, if nitrogen has seven protons and 
seven neutrons then the mass will be fourteen.  
 
Charges are the number of the amount of protons or neutrons in an 
atom. There are different types of charges, one is called electric charge. 
There are two types of electric charges, positive and negative. The positive 
charge is called cation, while a negative charge is called an anion. An 
example of charges is: Proton = +1 Neutron = 0 Electron = -1  

 
 

Valence electrons are the outer shell of a electron. Elements whose 
atoms have the same numbers of the valence electron are grouped 
together in the periodic table. 

Isotopes 

Isotopes were discovered in 1913 by Frederick Soddy. Isotopes are 
atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of 
neutrons, there different versions of the same element. An example of an 
isotope is hydrogen which can have different atomic mass(number of 
neutrons). Every hydrogen has the same atomic number(number of 
protons). An easier way to think of this is if you had identical twins. They 
both look the same and are the same gender, but if you put them both on 
a scale one is heavier than the other. This relates to isotopes because 
atoms look the same on the outside, but are different on the inside 
because of their varying atomic mass. There are two types of isotopes, 
radioactive and stable isotopes. Radioactive isotopes have an unstable 
combination of protons and neutrons therefore making the nuclei 
unstable. After time they decay and emit chemicals like beta and gamma 
rays, and even become harmful to certain parts of the environment. 
Decay’s popular meaning is to rot, but with isotopes decaying means to 
turn into another isotope consisting of the same element. Stable isotopes 
have a stable combination of protons and neutrons, making the nuclei 
stable. They also don't decay into another isotope and aren't harmful to 
nature and wildlife like radioactive isotopes. Isotopes are very helpful to 
scientists when it comes to determining temperature and timelines. 
Radioactive isotopes decaying stage help scientists determine the date or 
time period of an archeological find and even the universe itself. Anything 
that was once part of a living object can be sent to a lab to determine how 
much carbon is in it. They can then find out how much carbon was in the 
atmosphere that matches to the objects carbon in a certain time period 
and can then calculate how long its been since the objects death. Stable 
isotopes are used to determine the record of a climate change. Scientists 
will pull 100 feet long ice cores containing hundreds of years of ancient air 
particles which scientists can then extract and use a mass spectrometer, 
and determine the temperature. Isotopes are also often used for medical 
imaging and cancer treatment. Isotopes are one of the most successful 
cancer treatments. When using nuclear medicine radioactive isotopes help 
run diagnostics about specific information in the human body and can 
help describe internal features. This information can help cure patients 

easily and now radioactive isotopes are a routine in the medical world. 
Isotopes help cancer treatment because radioactive isotopes emit 
radiation directly into cancer cells therefore, the higher radiation helps kill 
the dangerous cells.  

Families of the Periodic Table 

Dmitri Mendeleev was born on February 8th, 
1834 in Tobolsk Siberia, one of fourteen children. 
After Dimitris father passed away in 1847 his mother 
ran a glass factory only to catch on fire in 1848. Soon 
after he attended the ​Main Pedagogical Institute in 
St. Petersburg. His mother then died and he 
graduated in the year of 1855. He got his first 
teaching position in a city called Simferopol in 
Crimea. Shortly after, in 1856 he went back to St. 
Petersburg to receive his  
master degree and conduct research on organic  
chemistry. He then studied abroad in the University 
of Heidelberg for two years. Instead of working with 
other chemists at the university such as Robert 
Bunsen and August Kekulé he decided to set up a lab in his apartment. In 
1860 he attended the Chemistry Convention to discuss crucial issues to 
science such as atomic mass, chemical symbols, and chemical formulas. At 
the convention he was able to speak with many of Europe's leading 
chemists. In 1861 Mendeleev traveled back to St. Petersburg to obtain a 
professorship at the Technological Institute in 1864. In his years of teaching 
at the Technological Institute he had published a textbook on organic 
chemistry because he couldn't find a book that met his teaching needs. 
After it was awarded the prestigious Demidov prize in 1861 he wrote 
another textbook on the principles of chemistry. Finally in 1867 he was 
given the position of professor of chemical technology in the University of 
St. Petersburg where he created the periodic table in 1869. He continued to 
teach at the university until 1890 where he then retired and died in 1907.  
 

Dmitri Mendeleev organized the elements by their relative atomic 
mass, atomic weight, and rarely he used atomic numbers. The results were 
a repeating pattern of the elements organized in columns corresponding 
to their atomic mass and weight. At times when putting the table together 
Mendeleev would leave gaps where he believed elements that had not yet 

been discovered would find their place. Creating the periodic table had 
some bumps in the road because Mendeleev would sometimes have to 
break his own rule. An example is, iodine has a lower atomic mass than 
tellurium, so according to the rules it must come before tellurium. But, in 
order for iodine to be in a group with elements like fluorine, chlorine, and 
bromine it had to come after tellurium. In 1913, Henry Moseley proposed the 
idea of using atomic numbers instead of atomic mass and it solved 
problems like this one since iodine has a higher atomic number than 
tellurium. In the end, Dmitri brought fame to himself for his scientific 
creation and received the title of the Founder of the Periodic Law.  

 
When Dmitri Mendeleev created the periodic table he organized 
them in groups based on their similarities. He organized them by atomic 
mass, weight, and number of valence electrons. In the table the columns 
were organized by the number of valence electrons in the highest energy 
level that can react with other atoms. Elements in one group will act ​similar 
to each other and will react the same. For example, in the alkali metal 
group they all have valence electrons. Alkali metals have one valence 
electron, and they have a +1 charge so they can react with Halogen 
elements which are a -1 charge. Alkaline Earth Metals have two valence 
electrons, and a +2 charge. Halogens have seven valence electrons, and 
react well with alkali metals. Noble gases have a full outer shell and have 
no valence electrons. This keeps them from participating in chemical 
bonds with other atoms.  
 
There are many trends between groups in the periodic table. Some of 
the trends are Electronegativity, Ionization energy, Electron Affinity, Atomic 
radius, Melting point, Metallic character trends. Electronegativity is a 
chemical property that attracts and binds atoms with electrons. 
Ionization Energy is the energy that removes an electron from a neutral 
atom. Ionization Energy is the opposite of Electronegativity because the 
lower the energy is the more likely the atom will become a cation.  
Electron Affinity is the ability for an atom to accept an electron.  
Similar to how radius is half the diameter of a circle Atomic radius is one 
half the distance of the nuclei and two atoms. Melting Point trend is the 
amount of energy needed to break a chemical bond. It's also used to 
change a substance from its solid phase to liquid phase. An example is 
metal because it has a high melting point. Metallic Character is the ability 
for an atom to lose and electron.  

 
 
 
 
 

Summarized Article 

Atoms are the basic unit of matter. They are divided into three parts 
protons, neutrons, and electrons that are made up of particles. Atoms were 
created shortly after the Big Bang Theory 13.7 million years ago. In the 
atom protons and neutrons are located in the center of the atom because 
they are heavier. Electrons are very lightweight so they orbit the nucleus in 
the electron cloud. The cloud has a radius ten thousand times greater 
than the nucleus. The protons and neutrons always have the same mass 
but one. One proton weighs more than one thousand eight hundred. There 
will always be an equal number of protons, electrons, and neutrons. In 1911 
a physicists named Ernest Rutherford discovered the neutron and proton. 
All the mass of the atom stays in the nucleus. The protons and neutrons 
that make up the nucleus are the same mass, and have the same 
momentum. The nucleus is held to together by the ¨strong force¨ which is 
one of four natural forces. Atoms can be unstable because the holding 
force varies depending on the size of the nucleus. Protons got its name 
from its positive charges. The number of protons is called the atomic 
number. The periodic table is organized by atomic number. The number of 
protons in an atom affects what type of element it is, and determines the 
chemical behavior. In 1897, JJ Thomson discovered the electron. It got its 
name from its negative charges and how its electrically attracted to 
positively charged protons. Electrons are the tiniest particle compared to 
protons and neutrons. They are located in the outer shell of the atom, 
which matter the most. Neutrons were discovered by James Chadwick in 
1932. Neutrons are uncharged particles in the nucleus. He found neutrons 
during an experiment where atoms were shot at thin sheets of beryllium 
and subatomic particles released with no charges and became a neutron. 
Isotopes are determined by the number of neutrons in an element.

amu) and 2​ 4.47 percent 37Cl (​ mass = 36.966 amu). Calculate the average atomic mass

0.7553 * 35 = 26.44
0.2447 * 37 = 9.0539
Total = 35.5

2. Calculate the atomic mass of silicon. The three silicon isotopes have atomic masses and

27.9769 * .922297 = 25.80301
28.9765 * .046832 = 1.35703
29.9738 * 0.030872 = .92535

Writing:
Use one of the examples above to discuss how you 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!)

In order to solve the number of neutrons in an isotope you have to find the atomic weight
and the atomic number(protons) of the element. Then you would subtract the atomic weight
from the atomic number. The total would give you the number of neutrons in the isotope. An
example of this would be finding the number of neutrons using the data of the Silicon problem.
Silicon has three forms of isotopes. The atomic weight of the first version of an isotope is 27.97.
The atomic number is 13. 27.97 minus 13 equals 14.97. 15 is the number of neutrons in the first
version of Silicon. Another example of finding the number of neutrons is in the second isotope of
Silicon. The atomic weight of the second version of an isotope is 28.97. The atomic number is
14. 28.97 minus 14 equals 14.97. 15 is the number of neutrons in the second version of Silicon.
Another example of finding the number of neutrons is in the third isotope of Silicon. The atomic
weight of the third version of an isotope is 29.97. The atomic number is 14. 29.97 minus 14
equals 15.97. 16 is the number of neutrons in the third version of Silicon. Abundance is the
amount of each isotope in the world. Some isotopes are more abundant or common than others.

The abundance determines the atomic mass because it helps decide which isotope there is
more of and which isotope it effects more. An example of this is Silicon if we were determining
the atomic mass in Silicon we would set the problem up like this: ​27.9769 * .922297 = 25.80301
- 28.9765 * .046832 = 1.35703 - 29.9738 * 0.030872 = .92535 T​ he abundance 27.9769 is the
biggest number, therefore it affects the solution the most. Which is why the final mass of 28.08
is very close to the isotope that there is the most of.

Age of Fossils  

 
Olivia:​ ​ ​The Fusarus fossil is older than the Montanosaurus fossil. The Fusarus 

fossil only 18% remaining. The Montanosarus has 35% remaining which means 
that it's been around for a shorter amount of time. The Fusarus fossil has existed 
for 23,000 years. The Montanosaurus fossil has existed for only 15,000 years. As 
the Fusarus and Montanosuarus fossils age increases the percentage increases. 
The line graph is evidence of how the Fusarus fossil(isotope 1) is older than the 
Montanosaurus The dependent variable is age, and the independent variable is 
time. In addition, if there is only 18% of the fossil left then over time it will 
eventually disappear due to weather.   
 

Emma​: I​ think that the fossil of the Fusarus is older than the Montanosaurus 

fossil because the Fusarus fossil has been around longer. To find the age of the 
fossil you have to make a graph to show the age of the fossil. You would put the 
percentages on the y-axis and the age of the fossil on the x-axis. If you look at the 
graph and go to 18% on the x-axis, the graph will show that the age of the of the 
Fusarus fossil is around 4000 years old. The Montanosaurus fossil has about 35% 
remaining. If you look at the graph and look in between 30 and 40 you will see 
that the age of the Montanosaurus fossil is around 2100. In conclusion, the 

Fusarus fossil is about 2000 years older than the Montanosaurus.  
 
Beth:​ ​ Fossil A is older. Fusarus is almost 6,000 years old while Montanosaurus is 

only 3,000 years old. In order to figure out which fossil is older you had to find the 
percentage on the y-axis and find where it meets the line on the x-axis. Also, if 
there is only 18% left of a fossil, there is less of it mainly because it is older and 
has decayed over time. Compared to a montanosaurus, there is 35% left of it 
which means there is more of it because it is younger and hasn't had as much 
time to decay as Fusarus.   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Final Paragraph:  

 
The Fusarus fossil is older than the Montanosaurus fossil. The 
estimated age for the fossils is between 3,000 and 4,000 years. There is 18% 
remaining of the Fusarus fossil and 35% remaining of the Montanosaurus 
fossil. In order to find the age of the fossils you have to graph the data 
corresponding with the years the fossil has existed and the amount that 
has survived over time. you have to find the percentage on the y-axis and 
find where it meets the line on the x-axis. Also, another way to determine 
which fossil is older, regarding the age, is to look at the percent. If there is 
only 18% left of Fusarus, that means has decayed over longer periods of 
time. If there is 35% remaining of Montanosaurus, then there is more of it 
because of the shorter periods of time for it to decay.   
  

 

M&M Isotope Lab  

 
In the Unit 2 M&M Isotope lab, we had to determine the average atomic 

mass. We used 2 forms of an atom. We substituted the isotope forms with regular 
and pretzel M&M's. We then calculated the average atomic mass using the 
isotope forms and the abundance.

Story:

Emily was writing a paper about the school and needed all the 
information she could get. First she rushed to the hallway, she had 
another 3 meters to go and made it in 3.7 seconds with just enough time 
to read the poster. Then she started writing about the lunch waves. She 
made it just in time to walk with the students while they went back to their 
classes. There were so many people in the halls that in order to get out 
Emily had to walk 1.5 meters backwards around the corner. Within 4.5 
seconds she safely reached the open hallway. Emily realized that she was 
about to miss the next gym class. She quickly ran down 3 meters of stairs 
leading to the first floor. The gym class was very close to the hallway she 
was in so it would only take her about 2.7 seconds. A teacher caught Emily 
running to the gym and made her walk the whole way. Instead of it taking 
her only 2.7 seconds it took her 13.8 seconds! The teacher also made her 
go a different way to punish her! Emily had to walk 3.48 meters more than 
her original direction! Finally, it was the end of the day and Emily got all of 
the information she needed. But, she was about to miss the bus so she 

sprinted 9.26 meters within 3.72 and just made the bus.

Acceleration Conclusion

Problem Statement:​ How does the angle of the ramp affect the acceleration of the car?

Conclusion:​ (use data)

Keywords:​ Purpose of experiment, Hypothesis, variables, data to prove your hypothesis

The purpose of this experiment was to find how the different angles of the ramps affects the
acceleration of the car. The hypothesis was the lower the ramp, the slower the acceleration. The
solution matched our hypothesis. An example is angle 3, it was the lowest angle and had an
acceleration of 96.8. This compares to the highest angle. Angle 1 was the highest angle and
had an acceleration of 106.8. In addition, the general average worked with the hypothesis. As
the ramp won't lower, the acceleration decreases.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, in order to find the angle and acceleration of the cart on the ramp, first you had to
determine the velocity and acceleration of 50 m and 100 m. The formula for finding velocity is
velocity = distance / time (V = D / T). The answer to finding the first velocity with 50 m is 10
seconds. The answer to finding the second velocity with 50 m is 20 seconds. I found the answers
of these problems by using the velocity formula. Now that I found the velocities of 50 m I can
find the acceleration. The formula of acceleration is acceleration = velocity 1 - velocity 2 / time
(A = V1 - V2 / T). The answer to finding acceleration with 50 m is 19. I found the acceleration
by using the acceleration formula. You also have to determine the velocity and acceleration of
100. Using the velocity formula the answer to finding the first velocity with 100 m is 20 seconds.
The second velocity is velocity with 100 m is 50 seconds.

QUIZ REVIEW: GPE

1. Suppose you placed a 2​ 30​ kg Siberian Tiger on the Superman Roller Coaster on the planet

Tatooine. This roller coaster has a height of ​125 m​ and Tatooine has a gravity that is equal to

23% greater than that of Earth’s. What would be your velocity at the bottom of the hill?

Explain your energy transformations on the ride.

GPE = KE KE = 345000 joules

GPE = m * g m/s2​ ​ * h KE = m*g*h = .5 m/s2​

GPE = 230 kg * 12 * 125 m KE = 345000 J

GPE = 345000 joules KE = 587 J

gravitational potential energy associated with Sotomayor’s jump was 2​ 130 J​. Sotomayor’s mass
was ​89.0 kg.​ How high did Sotomayor jump?
H = GPE / m * g m/s2​
H = 2130 J / 89.0 kg * 9.8 m/s​2
H = 2130 J / 872.2 kg

H = 2.44210044 J

3. One of the tallest radio towers is in Fargo, North Dakota. The tower is ​629 m​ tall, or about 44

percent taller than the Sears Tower in Chicago. If a bird lands on top of the tower, so that the

gravitational potential energy associated with the bird is 1​ 250 J,​ what is its mass?

M = GPE / h * g KE = 0.2027

M = 1250 J / 629 m * 9.8 m/s2​ KE = m*g*h = .5 m/s2​

M = 1250 J / 6164.2 m KE = 0.2027 J

M = 0.2027 m KE = 0.450 J
