Ensure there are no sharp edges on any
materials provided, such as pieces of glass.
Activity procedure
1 Students look at various everyday materials
and list some of their properties.
2 They use their understanding of metals to
identify which are metals.
3 They link the properties of materials with
their use in the home.
Running the activity
This activity is an introduction to materials. It is
important to stress the meaning of the word
`property', as students frequently misunderstand
this. Students could suggest other properties of
the materials in addition to those listed on the
sheet. They could test the electrical conductivity
of materials. This could assist in the
classification of materials as metals.
E1
It is not necessary for every group to have a
sample of every material. They could be
collected and returned from a central point as
needed.
A series of photographs or pictures showing
different materials in a house could be shown.
During discussion, students could identify where
different materials are used and how their
properties make them suitable.
Materials required
Per group
l samples of different materials, such as
copper, glass, lead, limestone, perspex,
polystyrene, rubber, steel (other materials
could be added as available)
l gas jar filled with air (as an example of a
gaseous material)
l
large nail
Notes on materials preparation
The material samples should be labelled with
their names. Having collected together suitable
materials they should be kept together for future
re-use.
Answers
Answers will depend on the materials provided.
Students should identify lead, copper and steel
as metals. It is worth noting that lead is dull
while most other metals are shiny.

Activity procedure
1 Students look at a variety of atomic models
of elements and compounds.
2 They pick out the elements as the ones
containing only one type of atom.
3 Later the students can be supplied with the
colour code for the different elements in the
models, so that they can decide which
elements are in each.
Running the activity
A good way of organising this activity is as a
circus with groups of students moving from one
model to another. This is easier to organise than
passing models from one group to another.
In Activity E4, students will have an opportunity
to make some models.

Supply the elements in sealed tubes so that it
is obvious to the teacher if any are opened.
Students should be told not to open any of
these tubes. Note the possibility of explosive
mixtures being primed if tubes are tampered
with, such as sodium with mercury or
sulphur.
Activity procedure
1 Students look at samples of different
elements.
2 In a suitable table, they record the state and
appearance of each element.
3 They test each element with a magnet.
4 They group the elements into solids, liquids
and gases and then into metals and nonmetals.
Running the activity
This activity is intended to give students
experience of a range of elements. You can alter
the number of elements supplied depending
upon the elements available and also the ability
of the students. Elements such as silicon and
selenium are non-metals but have some metallic
characteristics, such as being shiny and silvery in
colour.
Notes on materials preparation
Other elements could be added as available. The
elements should be labelled with their names.
For `bromine', make up a fake sample using redorange dye in, say, glycerol.
It is not necessary for every group to have a
sample of every element. The samples could be
collected and returned from a central point as
needed.

Activity procedure
Core
1 Students make models of water and carbon
dioxide by looking at pictures of the
molecules.
2 They then make a model of ethanol.
3 They answer questions about the model.
Extension
As an extension to the core sheet, students are
asked to make a model of an alcohol containing
one carbon atom, and to make any other
molecules that they can using the models given
to them.
This activity is best carried out by students
working individually. This enables them to get
the feel of working in three dimensions. Making
ethanol requires only seven atoms for each
student.
For the extension, when students are asked to
make a model of an alcohol containing one
carbon atom, they could be told that the
molecular formula of this alcohol is CH4O.
Alternatively, they could try to make other
molecules using the few atoms they have been
given. Methoxymethane, for example, is possible:
CH3±O±CH3. Go round and check the models
students are producing.

Activity procedure
1 The electrolysis is carried out for 5 minutes.
The volumes of gas collected above the anode
and cathode are measured.
2 The electrolysis is continued for a further
5 minutes and the volumes again measured.
This should be sufficient to establish the idea
of two volumes of hydrogen to every one
volume of oxygen.
3 Finally a dry test tube is filled with the two
gases and a lighted splint put into the test
tube. Students should hear a squeaky pop as
hydrogen and oxygen combine.
Running the activity
Students watch as the teacher demonstrates the
electrolysis of acidified water. They then answer
the questions on the activity sheet.
The students should find out that hydrogen is
produced at the cathode and oxygen at the
anode. This supports the formula of H2O.
(Note that although the concept of formula is
not covered until Unit F1, it has been
introduced on extension sheet E4b.)
Notes on materials preparation
In the early stages, less oxygen is collected than
the 2:1 ratio predicts. This is because oxygen is
more soluble in water. The electrolysis should be
carried out for 10 minutes before the lesson and
the gases allowed to escape.
Answers
1 Bubbles form at each electrode. They rise up
the tubes above the electrodes. There are
more bubbles above the cathode.
2 a Oxygen
b Hydrogen
More hydrogen is expected to be produced
than oxygen.
3 There is a pop as the mixture of gases burns
explosively. Hydrogen and oxygen are
reacting to form water.

Electrolysis of water
E5b
Extension
Aim
To show that water can be split up by an electric current.
Introduction
The process for splitting water by an
electric current is called electrolysis.
The products of the process are
hydrogen and oxygen. Two volumes
of hydrogen are produced for each one
volume of oxygen. This justifies the
formula H2O for water.
The apparatus is called a voltameter.
It is filled with water. A little acid is
added to the water so it conducts
electricity better. The electrodes are
made of platinum. One electrode is
positive (called the anode) and one
is negative (called the cathode).

Lavoisier
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier was a famous scientist in France working at the end of the eighteenth
century. He made an important contribution to explaining what happens when things burn.
He heated mercury in a certain volume of air. After the experiment he found some red powder
on the surface of the mercury in the retort. The diagrams show his apparatus before and after
heating.

things burned better than in air.

c Write a word equation for the reaction taking place
when he heated mercury in air.
d Write a word equation for the reaction taking place
when he heated the red powder.
2 Lavoisier found that:
l mercury gained weight when heated in air to form
an oxide
l the oxide lost weight when it was heated.
Until then scientists believed that when a substance
burned it lost a substance called phlogiston.
Explain why Lavoisier's work meant the end of the
previous theory of combustion.

Finding these compounds of xenon changed scientists' ideas about noble gases and
they went on to look for other compounds of noble gases. There were still three noble
gases that they thought did not form any compounds ± helium, neon and argon.

In 2000, scientists in Finland made a compound of argon.

Combining power

The combining power of an element is the number of
hydrogen atoms that will combine with one atom of the
element.
Here are the combining powers of different elements.
Combining power of 1
l sodium
l potassium
l fluorine
l chlorine
l bromine
l iodine
l hydrogen
Combining power of 2
l oxygen
l sulphur
l magnesium
l calcium
l barium
l zinc
Combining power of 3
l nitrogen
l aluminium
Combining power of 4
l carbon
These combining powers can be used to write the formula
for a compound.
Let's look at some ways we can use combining power.
Example 1: carbon and chlorine
Carbon has a combining power of 4 and chlorine has a
combining power of 1. Each carbon will combine with
4 chlorines.
The formula is CCl4.
Example 2: aluminium and sulphur
Aluminium has a combining power of 3 and sulphur has
a combining power of 2.
So the formula of aluminium sulphide is Al2S3. Two
aluminium atoms provide 6 links and three sulphurs
provide 6 links.
Now use combining powers to write the formula for each
of the following compounds.
