Unit 4: Structure and Properties of Matter<br />
Time: 16 hours<br />
Unit Description<br />
This unit increases student understanding of the structure of the atom by exploring the quantum<br />
mechanical model. They describe products and contributions that have advanced the knowledge of<br />
atomic and molecular theory, write electronic configurations, and explain the relationship between the<br />
position of elements in the periodic table and their properties. Students investigate solids/liquids and<br />
explain how types of chemical bonding account for the properties of ionic, molecular, covalent network<br />
and metallic substances. Students predict molecular shape using the Valence Shell Electron Pair<br />
Repulsion model. The End-of-Unit Task consists of three parts. First, students analyse the properties of<br />
an unknown solid or liquid to determine the type of substance it is (ionic, molecular, covalent network or<br />
metallic) and explain their observations. Secondly, students use the Valence Shell Electron Pair<br />
Repulsion (VSEPR) theory to predict the shape and polarity of a molecule. Thirdly, students complete a<br />
written test.<br />
