Section outline

  • Week 4: This week we are continuing with our learning objectives and success criteria from the previous week. More specifically we are learning about  ionic compounds, and counting atoms.

    Learning intentions: Continuation form last week

    • Understand how ions form when the number of protons in an atom does not equal the number of electrons resulting in the atom having a charge. Link the charge of the ion to the organisation of the periodic table.

    Success criteria:

    • Describe the difference between an atom and ion.
    • Explain how negative and positive ions are formed and their atomic structure.
    • Explain why noble gases do not react.
    • Relate the position of ions on the periodic table to the charges and electron. arrangement.


    Activities: 

    • Explored the reaction between steel wool and battery investigation and discussion
    • Summarised key words to assist our learning going forward - e.g. matter, atom, element, molecule and compounds
    • Developed an understanding of how to name ions and ionic compounds
    • Developed an understand of counting the number of atoms in an ionic compound. 
    • Explored common ions and how to use a table to help us in our learning.
