Chemistry: Functional Group and Different Types
Lesson 08.01: Half-life and Radioactive Decay
· Distinguish between nuclear and chemical reactions.
· Compare and contrast different types of nuclear decay and the properties of the three types of radiation (alpha, beta, and gamma) discussed in the lesson.
· Be able to predict the isotope or radiation produced by a nuclear decay reaction when the other product is given.
· Describe and make predictions regarding half-life, including using a graph or set of data to determine the half-life of a substance.
· Discuss some real-world examples of radiation and some of the ways that society uses this radiation (honors).
Lesson 08.02: Fission and Fusion
· Identify and describe the characteristics of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.
· Compare and contrast fission and fusion in terms of the type of reactants, safety, reaction conditions, and products produced.
Lesson 08.03: Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources
· Describe and compare different types of renewable and nonrenewable resources in terms of availability, cost, current use, pollution, and other properties. These resources include: oil, coal, nuclear power, natural gas, solar power, wind power, hydropower, geothermal power, and biofuel.
Lesson 08.04: Energy and Society
· Discuss negative impacts that society’s use of resources has had on the environment.
· Discuss ways in which we have used technology to help minimize some of the negative impacts we have had on the environment.
· Evaluate and compare the advantages and disadvantages of different renewable and nonrenewable energy resources including cost, environmental effects, and availability.
Lesson 08.05: Carbon Chemistry
· Define and compare inorganic and organic chemistry.
· Compare diamonds and graphite in terms of bonding and properties.
· Describe the properties of the carbon atom that allow it to form such a wide variety of compounds.
· Identify the basic steps in the carbon cycle.
· Describe and identify the functional groups
