Periodic Trends Lab Report

636 Words3 Pages

A periodic trend is a specific pattern identified throughout elements in the periodic table. The trends help understand and label an elements general properties. Although, when properties only change in the same manner within a group, it is labeled as a quasi-periodic trend. Major periodic trends include electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, boiling point, metallic character, ionic radius and reactivity. In this experiment, specific heat capacity, electronegativity, and melting point were being tested to see if there was a present periodic trend. Specific heat capacity is the Amount of energy to raise temperature of a substance. Electronegativity is the pull of an atom on shared electrons in …show more content…

First, we had to order the data by groups because it was already ordered by periods. We thought if we ordered it that way as well, it would be easier for us to graph and understand it better, when looking at it according to group. Each property was then graphed by atomic number and group. So, we would put specific heat capacity, electronegativity, and melting point on the y-axis, each given their own specific graph, and we put the atomic number on the x- axis, in order to locate a trend. On the other three graphs, we put specific heat capacity, electronegativity, and melting point on the y-axis and then placed group number on the x-axis in order to see a trend (if present), by groups of elements. After graphing each property, we ended up with a total of six graphs. We had to look at the graphs, that were graphed by atomic number and analyze the data given in the graph, we looked for any trend that we could, increasing or decreasing. Next, we did the same thing for each of the group graphs, looking for any increase or decrease pattern. The data we were given from our graphs helped our analysis by telling us if a periodic trend was existent. Making graphs and depicting them closely by atomic number and group helped to identify any periodic

I have chosen to use this scale of strontium nitrate because it will give me more results so the graph will be more accurate. I will measure the precipitate formed with a ruler in millimetres. I have decided to measure this in millimetres because it is a more accurate measurement so I will be able to compare them easily and more precisely. 1. Place 8 boiling tubes in a boiling tube rack and label them 1-8.

Each of the three lines share the similarity of rising and to the right in movement. The shape of the 1st line is the most extreme of the three lines rising the fastest. The shape of the second line is less aggressive than the first due to it rising without developing a strong upward curve. The third line is the most consistent of the three rising mostly at an angle with small curvature towards the end. Each line differs the way that they do due to the various amounts of data that creates each line.

The lab started off by measuring critical materials for the lab: the mass of an an empty 100 mL beaker, mass of beaker and copper chloride together(52.30 g), and the mass of three iron nails(2.73 g). The goal of this experiment is to determine the number of moles of copper and iron that would be produced in the reaction of iron and copper(II) chloride, the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and the percent yield of copper produced. 2.00 grams of copper(II) chloride was added in the beaker to mix with 15 mL of distilled water. Then, three dry nails are placed in the copper(II) chloride solution for approximately 25 minutes. The three nails have to be scraped clean by sandpaper to make the surface of the nail shiny; if the nails are not clean, then some unknown substances might accidentally mix into the reaction and cause variations of the result.

To graph population or disease, we needed to use exponents; in equation-form, the exponent was an X, but it could be substituted for any number, which would represent the year. You would also find the current population or number of cases and divide them by the amount the previous year (the starting number) and add that to one to find the rate, which would show you if it was growth or decay. Finally, you use the starting number as your constant or y-intercept. If you were trying to graph the decay of a population, the equation could be: y=150,000(1.5)x; if you were trying to graph decay, the equation could be: y=150,000(0.5)x. You can replace X with any number (number of years) to find the population in the future (positive number) or in the past (negative numbers).

The Goddard Center for Astrobiology and the Cosmic Ice Laboratory at Goddard Space Flight Center study the chemical composition of icy bodies and planetary ice to answer fundamental questions about the emergence and evolution of life on Earth, as well as to explain and predict the existence of specific molecules on space objects. Here, we discuss the reported findings from these laboratories in the astrochemistry and astrobiology field. High-resolution spectra using ground-based and space-based telescopes are used to classify the composition and abundance ratios of volatile organics measured on comets and cosmic ices. Organics on Mars have also been studied, such as the existence of methane, and more recently the discovery of water, suggesting

1. method via radar of measuring near star distances, Direct distance measurements are based upon the Astronomical unit (AU), which is the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Historically, observations of transits of Venus were crucial in determining the AU; in the first half of the 20th century, observations of asteroids were also important. Presently the orbit of Earth is determined with high precision using radar measurements of distances to Venus and other nearby planets and asteroids,[1] and by tracking interplanetary spacecraft in their orbits around the Sun through the Solar System. Kepler's Laws provide precise ratios of the sizes of the orbits of objects orbiting the Sun, but provides no measurement of the overall scale of the orbit system. Radar is used to measure the distance between the orbits of the Earth and of a second body.

Ohm’s law is considered to be the basic electrical engineering law that all other electrical engineering laws use in their applications. Its practical applications extend from small circuits to cell phone batteries to rockets. In addition to Ohm’s law, Coulomb 's law is also widely used in both physics and chemistry. In physics, it is considered to be one of the basic laws, while in chemistry it can be used to calculate the force between the protons and electrons of atoms. Another application of this law is the study of crystal structures, as the ions of the crystals arrange themselves so that the electrical forces are balanced.

It is important to organise the elements because all elements that are known to mankind can be easily looked up for instance, by looking at the periodic table, a person can find out how many electrons the element has and how much it weighs. Each element also has its own separate set of such data; no two elements are the same. Thus, if someone is uncertain what matter he has, he can look at the atomic structure of the material, compare it to the information in the periodic table, and identify the material by matching it to the element on the table with the same data. What trends are evident in the Periodic Table?

Properties of Ionic and Covalent Substances Lab Report Introduction The purpose of this lab was to determine which of the following substances: wax, sugar, and salt, are an ionic compound and which are a covalent compound. In order to accurately digest the experiments results, research of definitions of each relating led to the following information: ionic compounds are positive and negatively charged ions that experience attraction to each other and pull together in a cluster of ionic bonds; they are the strongest compound, are separated in high temperatures, and can be separated by polar water molecules. A covalent compound forms when two or more nonmetal atoms share valence electrons; covalent compounds are also

As we can see in the chart，there are countries between two kinds of models, which will contribute doubt and puzzle to readers, to some extent. Therefore, I will give my constructive suggestion here as follows. First, we should use statistics to prove the chart and add additional information to improve it. Even if there are not every countries in the middle of two patterns, we still should classify different ranks or extent for each model. The details are that Lewis is supposed to evaluate three models and do some researches for them.
