Atomic structure
Choose a subatomic particle (protons, neutrons, or electrons). Answer the following Questions.
1. What is your subatomic particles role in the atom? Where are you found? Do you have a charge?
2. What are the other two subatomic particles? Where are they found? Do they have a charge?
3. Choose an atom off the periodic table. How many protons, neutrons and electrons are in your atom? Does your atom have an overall charge? Why or why not?
4. Draw a model of the atom you chose. What is the atom mostly made of?
A. Bonding
1. Ionic bonds
a. What is an ion?
b. Draw out an Ionic bond of one of the following molecules: LiF, LiCl, NaF, NaCl, KF, KCl.
c. Why do Ionic bonds form?
2. Covalent bonds
a. Now model a nonpolar covalent bond. Choose from: H2, N2, O2, Cl2, CO2, CH4.
b. Why do covalent bonds form?
c. Now model a polar covalent bond. Choose from: H2O, NH3, SO2, H2S.
d. Why do polar covalent bonds form?
3. Hydrogen bonds
a. Now model hydrogen bonds between H2O or NH3.
b. Why do Hydrogen bonds form?
4. Wrap up questions:
c. What subatomic particle is most important in bonding? Why?
d. What do we call two or more atoms that have bonded together?
e. What do we call a molecule that is composed of 2 or more different types of atoms?
