Content
Introduction to year and sort out of books Describe the structure of the atom. Recall the relative charge and relative mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Describe what is meant by an isotope. The modern periodic table interactive periodic table poster project Students pick a metal and non-metal to compare and their properties. Recall what is meant by atomic number and mass number. Patterns on the periodic table Give pupils an element from the first 20. Get them to draw it out and lay it on the floor in the correct order to discuss the patterns they can see. Explain the difference between an element and a compound. Describe how the elements are arranged in the periodic table. Recall that electrons occupy shells around the nucleus Work out the electronic structure of the first 20 elements. Deduce the number of occupied shells or the number of electrons from the electronic structure of an element. Explain how the identity of an element can be deduced from its electronic structure. Bill Neigh Video Recall that in covalent bonding non-metals combine together by sharing electron pairs. Describe covalent bonding. Work out the number of atoms of each element in a molecule. Draw dot and cross diagrams for simple molecules. Describe carbon dioxide and water as simple molecules with weak intermolecular forces between them. Understand that carbon dioxide and water

Describe how crude oil is separated into fractions. Describe the main fractions obtained from crude oil. Explain why crude oil can be separated by fractional distillation Hold an exercise on fractionation acronyms. Students work in pairs or small groups to devise an acronym to help in recalling the order in which fractions leave the column. For example, loony penguins parade downhill falling backwards. Explain how oil is obtained, and some of the environmental problems involved. Describe how large hydrocarbon molecules may be converted into smaller ones. Explain why cracking is carried out. Discuss in simple terms the political problems associated with the exploitation of crude oil. Discuss the problems associated with oil as a finite resource Describe what happens when hydrocarbon
