Section 4.2 Quiz
“Tour of the Periodic Table”
You may use your notes and/or your book to
complete this quiz ON YOUR OWN.
#9 Correction:
Change d orbital to s orbital
Change s orbital to d orbital
Pick up a copy of the flame test lab and start
reading it through when you turn in your quiz.
Good Luck!
Flame Test
Lab Partner
Your partner for the flame test lab will be……
Lab: “Flame Tests”
Discussion
Remember, when energy is added to an atom,
electrons can move from the ground state to
an excited state.
Electrons are unstable at the excited state and
will “fall back” to a lower energy state.
When the electrons “fall back”, specific
wavelengths of light will be emitted that can
be seen as different colors.
Each element has it’s own unique lineemission spectrum.
Lab: “Flame Tests”
Discussion
In this lab, you will be testing various
metal solutions and recording the colors of the
flames that you see.
Samples will be set up at the lab tables and you
and your lab partner will rotate through the
stations.
After testing all of the known samples, you will
test 2 unknown samples and try to determine
what metal elements they contain by comparing
their flame color to the color of the flames of
the known samples.
Lab: “Flame Tests”
Changes to Materials List
and Data Table
Changes have already been made to the materials
list and data table before copies were made….
You’re welcome!
Lab: “Flame Tests”
Procedure Discussion
Work through the handout and use the data
table as a guide.
Sometimes you will view the flame through
cobalt glass, sometimes you will test a mixture of
metal solutions.
To test the NaCl crystals, remove a wooden splint
from the beaker of distilled water and dip it into
the beaker of NaCl crystals.
Be careful not to keep the wooden splint in the
flame too long; it is wood and it will burn!
Lab: “Flame Tests”
Write-up
Work with your lab partner to complete the lab
write-up:
1. Title
2. Purpose
3. Hypothesis
4. Materials
5. Procedure
Remember to update the table of contents in your
lab folder!
Periodic Table Project
I wanted my chem 1 classes to make their own
periodic table.
But, instead of just having everyone use a white
sheet of paper, I thought it would be neat if
everyone made an element “square” using
google docs and then sharing it with me.
If everyone makes 2 squares (including me) we’ll
have all 118 elements of the table represented.
All the squares will then be compiled into a
Chem 1 periodic table of awesomeness! 
Periodic Table Project
You will use an app on the Ipads for data
collection and computers in either the library or
computer lab to make your squares.
You will have the rest of the class period today
as well as half the class period on either Friday
the 7th or Monday the 10th – use your class time
wisely!
You will have 2 weeks to complete the squares,
which will be due on:
Monday, Dec. 17th: “A” Day
Tuesday, Dec. 18th: “B” Day
