1. Density:
A. Determine the density of an object with a mass of 42 g and a volume of 7.0 ml.
42g / 7.0 mL = 6.0 g/mL
B. Determine the volume of an object with a mass of 8.1 g and a density of 2.4 g/ml. 8.1 g/2.4g/mL = 3.38 mL
2. Safety:
a. A student gets a chemical on his hands then eats a chocolate bar. After he finishes the bar, he licks the melted
chocolate off of his fingers. What should he do?
Tell teacher. Consult the MSDS sheet regarding poisoning information. Apologize to his teacher for being a fool.
b.
Your partner spills a test tube of acid on her hand and starts to become hysterical. What should you tell her to do?
Calm down. Escort her to the sink to rinse her hand. Tell the teacher.
c. When should safety glasses be worn?
The entire time that the laboratory is going on, until your teacher tells you it is safe to remove them.
d.
Your partner lights a Bunsen burner without realizing that your big, droopy sleeve of your fuzzy sweater is very close.
Your clothes immediately catch fire. What should you do?
Stop. drop and roll to put out the fire. Or, use fire blanket. Tell teacher. Apologize to your teacher for neglecting to wear the
appropriate atture for lab!

4. What is the difference between weight and mass? Which is a more dependable measurement? Explain your answer.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the measurement of the effect of gravity on that matter. Mass is more
reliable, because it does not change with location

9. List 4 parts of Dalton’s Atomic Theory. Include his original statements and any changes that have been determined by
advances in studying the atom. If no changes have been made to his original ideas, indicate this in the space provided.
ORIGINAL THOUGHTS
MODERN DAY IDEAS
1. All elements are composed of tiny indivisible particles that
Today we know that atoms are divisible into protons, neutrons
are called atoms.
and electrons
2. Atoms of the same element are identical. The atoms of any
one element are different from those of any other element.
Today, we know that there are some differences between some
particles of the same elements such as ions and isotopes
3. Atoms of different elements can combine with one another
in simple whole number ratios to form compounds
This aspect has stood the test of time
4. Chemical reactions can occur when atoms are separated,
joined, or rearranged. However, atoms of one element are not
changed into atoms of another by chemical reactions
This actually can occur during nuclear fusion and fission.
10. Describe the discovery of the nucleus. By whom was it discovered and how?
Rutherford –gold foil experiment. Rutherford shot positively charged alpha particles at a thing sheet of gold. Some passed
through, others were deflected, and other ricocheted right back. The ones that bounced back or were deflected were interacting
with the nucleus.
11. Draw, label and describe the modern day model of the atom. Be sure to include all regions and subatomic particles and
the location of each.
12. Explain what information can be determined by the following:
a. Atomic Number:
the number of protons in the nucleus, and the number of electrons in a neutral atom
b. Mass Number:
the number of neutrons in an atom, as long as you know the atomic number
c. Atomic Mass:
the weighted average of the mass numbers of the different isotopes of an element

17. Rank the following in order from the smallest to the largest: atom, electron, nucleus, molecule, proton
electron, proton, nucleus, atom, molecule
18. What is the difference between an ion and an atom? How AND why do atoms become ions?
Atoms # of protons = # of electrons, so they are neutral. This is not true for ions. Atoms become ions by gaining or losing
electrons, and they do they to achieve a full set of valence electrons, like a noble gas
19. Explain how an atom of magnesium is different from a magnesium ion.
a. What charge does a magnesium ion make?
+2 cation
b.
Why is this charge produced?
Magnesium loses two electrons
c.
Does magnesium become a cation or an anion?
cation
d.
Which is bigger, the Magnesium ATOM or the Magnesium ION. Explain why.
magnesium atom is bigger; the ion has lost electrons, so it has lost and entire energy level AND the protons now
outnumber the electrons
20. Explain how an atom of chlorine is different from a chlorine ion.
a. What charge does a chlorine ion make?
-1 anion
b.
Why is this charge produced?
Chlorine gains one electron so that it will achieve a full outer energy level
c.
Does chlorine become a cation or an anion?
anion
d.
Which is bigger, the Chlorine ATOM or the Chlorine ION. Explain why.
chlorine ion is bigger; the ion has gained electrons, so its electrons now outnumber its protons. Electrons will also
repel each other a spread out.
21. A. What is an isotope?
This is an atom of a given element that differs in the number of neutrons
B. What two bits of information must be known in order to calculate the average atomic mass for an element?

C. Use the following information to calculate the average atomic mass for the element Copper.
Cu-63, 69.1% abundance
Cu-65, 30.9% abundance
(63 x 0.691 ) + (65 x 0.309) = 43.533 + 20.085 = 63.6 amu
