Module 1 Content Assessed

The document discusses the content that will be assessed in Module 1, including properties of matter, atomic structure, periodicity, and bonding. It outlines key inquiry questions and concepts students will investigate for each topic, such as classifying elements, atomic structure, trends in the periodic table, and the nature of different bond types.

Module 1 Content Assessed

The highlighted parts simply revise and expand on content taught in Junior Science.

 Properties of Matter
 Inquiry question: How do the properties of substances help us to classify and
separate them?
 Students:
 explore homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures through practical
investigations:
 using separation techniques based on physical properties(ACSCH026)
 calculating percentage composition by weight of component elements and/or
compounds(ACSCH007)
 investigate the nomenclature of inorganic substances using International Union
of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) naming conventions
 classify the elements based on their properties and position in the periodic table
through their:
 physical properties
 chemical properties

 Atomic structure and atomic mass


 Inquiry question: Why are atoms of elements different from one another?
 Students:
 investigate the basic structure of stable and unstable isotopes by examining:
 their position in the periodic table
 the distribution of electrons, protons and neutrons in the atom
 representation of the symbol, atomic number and mass number (nucleon
number)
 model the atom’s discrete energy levels, including electronic configuration and
spdf notation(ACSCH017, ACSCH018, ACSCH020, ACSCH022)
 calculate the relative atomic mass from isotopic composition(ACSCH024)
 investigate energy levels in atoms and ions through:
 collecting primary data from a flame test using different ionic solutions of
metals(ACSCH019)
 examining spectral evidence for the Bohr model and introducing the
Schrödinger model
 investigate the properties of unstable isotopes using natural and human-made
radioisotopes as examples, including but not limited to:
 types of radiation
 types of balanced nuclear reactions
 Periodicity
Note that less emphasis will be given to this in the test because it is largely covered in
the data analysis task.

 Inquiry question: Are there patterns in the properties of elements?


 Students:
 demonstrate, explain and predict the relationships in the observable trends in
the physical and chemical properties of elements in periods and groups in the
periodic table, including but not limited to:
 state of matter at room temperature
 electronic configurations and atomic radii
 first ionisation energy and electronegativity
 reactivity with water

Note that the following content will be taught in Week 1 of Term 2


Even so, it will be to your advantage to work through this content beforehand in EDROLO if you want to achieve
the highest grade in the coming test.

 Bonding
 Inquiry question: What binds atoms together in elements and compounds?
 Students:
 investigate the role of electronegativity in determining the ionic or covalent
nature of bonds between atoms
 investigate the differences between ionic and covalent compounds through:
 using nomenclature, valency and chemical formulae (including Lewis dot
diagrams)(ACSCH029)
 examining the spectrum of bonds between atoms with varying degrees of
polarity with respect to their constituent elements’ positions on the periodic
table
 modelling the shapes of molecular substances(ACSCH056, ACSCH057)
 investigate elements that possess the physical property of allotropy
 investigate the different chemical structures of atoms and elements, including
but not limited to:
 ionic networks
 covalent networks (including diamond and silicon dioxide)
 covalent molecular
 metallic structure
 explore the similarities and differences between the nature of intermolecular
and intramolecular bonds and the strength of the forces associated with each,
in order to explain the:
 physical properties of elements
 physical properties of compounds(ACSCH020, ACSCH055, ACSCH058)
