[HS.CHEM.1.1] - Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of main group elements, including ionization energy and relative sizes of atoms and ions, based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of each element. Use the patterns of valence electron configurations, core charge, and Coulomb’s law to explain and predict general trends in ionization energies, relative sizes of atoms and ions, and reactivity of pure elements. Clarification Statement: Size of ions should be relevant only for predicting strength of ionic bonding. State Assessment Boundary: State assessment will be limited to main group (s and p block) elements.
[RCA-ST.9-10.7] -
Translate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text into visual form (e.g., a table or chart) and translate information expressed visually or mathematically (e.g., in an equation) into words.
[AII.A-CED.A.2] -
Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.*
[HS.CHEM.1.2] -
Use the periodic table model to predict and design simple reactions that result in two main classes of binary compounds, ionic and molecular. Develop an explanation based on given observational data and the electronegativity model about the relative strengths of ionic or covalent bonds.
Clarification Statements: Simple reactions include synthesis (combination), decomposition, single displacement, double displacement, and combustion. Predictions of reactants and products can be represented using Lewis dot structures, chemical formulas, or physical models. Observational data include that binary ionic substances (i.e., substances that have ionic bonds), when pure, are crystalline salts at room temperature (common examples include NaCl, KI, Fe2O3); and substances that are liquids and gases at room temperature are usually made of molecules that have covalent bonds (common examples include CO2, N2, CH4, H2O, C8H18).
[HS.CHEM.1.3] -
Cite evidence to relate physical properties of substances at the bulk scale to spatial arrangements, movement, and strength of electrostatic forces among ions, small molecules, or regions of large molecules in the substances. Make arguments to account for how compositional and structural differences in molecules result in different types of intermolecular or intramolecular interactions. Clarification Statements: Substances include both pure substances in solid, liquid, gas, and networked forms (such as graphite). Examples of bulk properties of substances to compare include melting point and boiling point, density, and vapor pressure. Types of intermolecular interactions include dipole-dipole (including hydrogen bonding), ion-dipole, and dispersion forces. State Assessment Boundary: Calculations of vapor pressure by Raoult’s law, properties of heterogeneous mixtures, and names and bonding angles in molecular geometries are not expected in state assessment.
