Atoms, Molecules, and Compounds goes behind the scenes of day-to-day chemistry to explore the atoms that govern chemical processes. In clear language, this exciting book shows how the interactions between simple substances such as salt and water ar
**This is the chapter slice "What Are Compounds?" from the full lesson plan "Atoms, Molecules & Elements"** Young scientists will be thrilled to explore the invisible world of atoms, molecules and elements. Our resource provides ready-to-use information and activities for remedial students using simplified language and vocabulary. Students will label each part of the atom, learn what compounds are, and explore the patterns in the periodic table of elements to find calcium (Ca), chlorine (Cl), and helium (He) through hands-on activities. These and more science concepts are presented in a way that makes them more accessible to students and easier to understand. Written to grade and using simplified language and vocabulary and comprised of reading passages, student activities, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and color mini posters, our resource can be used effectively for test prep and your whole-class. All of our content is aligned to your State Standards and are written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEM initiatives.
Young scientists will be thrilled to explore the invisible world of atoms, molecules and elements. Our resource makes the periodic table easier to understand. Begin by answering, what are atoms? See how the atomic model is made up of electrons, protons and neutrons. Find out what a molecule is, and how they differ from elements. Then, move on to compounds. Find the elements that make up different compounds. Get comfortable with the periodic table by recognizing each element as part of a group. Examine how patterns in the period table dictate how those elements react with others. Finally, explore the three important kinds of elements: metals, nonmetals and inert gases. Aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy and STEAM initiatives, additional hands-on experiments, crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.
In his highly anticipated sequel to The Elements, Theodore Gray demonstrates how the elements of the periodic table combine to form the molecules that make up our world. Everything physical is made up of the elements and the infinite variety of molecules they form when they combine with each other. In Molecules, Theodore Gray takes the next step in the grand story that began with the periodic table in his best-selling book, The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe. Here, he explores through fascinating stories and trademark stunning photography the most interesting, essential, useful, and beautiful of the millions of chemical structures that make up every material in the world. Gray begins with an explanation of how atoms bond to form molecules and compounds, as well as the difference between organic and inorganic chemistry. He then goes on to explore the vast array of materials molecules can create, including: soaps and solvents; goops and oils; rocks and ores; ropes and fibers; painkillers and dangerous drugs; sweeteners; perfumes and stink bombs; colors and pigments; and controversial compounds including asbestos, CFCs, and thimerosal. Big, gorgeous photographs, as well as diagrams of the compounds and their chemical bonds, rendered with never before seen beauty, fill the pages and capture molecules in their various states. As he did in The Elements, Gray shows us molecules as we've never seen them before. It's the perfect book for his loyal fans who've been eager for more and for anyone fascinated with the mysteries of the material world.
Electrons, Atoms, and Molecules in Inorganic Chemistry: A Worked Examples Approach builds from fundamental units into molecules, to provide the reader with a full understanding of inorganic chemistry concepts through worked examples and full color illustrations. The book uniquely discusses failures as well as research success stories. Worked problems include a variety of types of chemical and physical data, illustrating the interdependence of issues. This text contains a bibliography providing access to important review articles and papers of relevance, as well as summaries of leading articles and reviews at the end of each chapter so interested readers can readily consult the original literature. Suitable as a professional reference for researchers in a variety of fields, as well as course use and self-study. The book offers valuable information to fill an important gap in the field. Incorporates questions and answers to assist readers in understanding a variety of problem types Includes detailed explanations and developed practical approaches for solving real chemical problems Includes a range of example levels, from classic and simple for basic concepts to complex questions for more sophisticated topics Covers the full range of topics in inorganic chemistry: electrons and wave-particle duality, electrons in atoms, chemical binding, molecular symmetry, theories of bonding, valence bond theory, VSEPR theory, orbital hybridization, molecular orbital theory, crystal field theory, ligand field theory, electronic spectroscopy, vibrational and rotational spectroscopy
This wonderful book was used as a textbook in schools for many years as an introduction to chemistry and atoms. In a wonderfully easy to understand manner it takes the reader from the basic states of matter right through to how molecules are composed, how elements combine to make compounds, what's in an atom, and so much more. This edition is presented in full color with all of the original interior illustrations.
