(drawing)
*Include
correct
number of
shells,
protons,

(towards IM1)

What kind of
bonds does
your element
prefer and
why? (Ionic or
covalent)
*Think about
number of
shells,
electrons and
charges.*

H
Hydrogen

PROTONS:1
NEUTRONS:1
ELECTRONS:1

Hydrogen is covalent
because it share 1
electron. And it has 1
shell. It has 1 electron
and it has positive
charge.

O
Oxygen

HE
Helium

PROTONS:8

PROTONS:2

NEUTRONS:8

NEUTRONS:2

ELECTRONS:8

ELECTRONS:2

Oxigen is a covalent
element and it shares
electrons. Also it has
positive charge.

Helium is ionic and it

have 1 shell. It doesnt
let electrons and it has
negative charge.

Find a
common
element that
your element
bonds with.
Draw your
element and
the new
element and
explain how
they bond.

Oxygen

2 Hydrogen atoms

The new element is

water (H2O). It has
two hydrogen atoms
and one oxygen atom.

Hydrogen peroxide
(H2O2). This compound
has two hydrogen atoms
and two oxygen atoms.

*Think about
number of
electrons on
each elements
outer shell.*
(towards IM2)
Name a
compound,
H2O
mixture
and/or
solution that
your element
makes.
CT1

H2O

Helium does not form

compounds with
anything.

No compound are
made with helium
since it is an inert
element

Physical /
Chemical
properties of
the element
according to
its place in the
periodic table.
CT2

Its non metal it

have 1 electron in
the first label.

It has 4 electrons in the

first label Its non metal.

It is a nobel gas it has 2

electrons in the first
label.

In point form,
list 3 other
interesting
facts about
this element.

Do you know that all

oceans are made of
oxygen and hydrogen?
Do you know that
without hydrogen all
the world will die?
Do you know that
when you take a
shower you also use
hydrogen?
I can find it in every
place in the universe
because in water have
hydrogen and water is
every place of the
world.

Do you know oxygen is in

all your body?
Do you know that in space
theres no oxygen?
Do you know oxygen is in
water?

Do you know that with

a giant helium balloon
you can fly?
Do you know helium
weights less than air?
Do you know that if
you inhale helium your
voice will sqeak?

The same because I can

found water in in every
place in the universe
because in water have
oxygen and water is every
place of the world.

I can find it in all the

world in balloons of
helium.
Also I can find it in
Blimps or Zeppelins.
Helium is also in the
sun.

Petroleum companies
uses hydrogen to
produce different
things.
In hospitals it is used
to disinfect

In health, it is used to help

people that have difficulty
when they breathe.

In Colombia helium its

used to make that kids
have fun with balloons.

The most important use is

in respiration

Also people use it to

inflate zeppelins, and
to make lasers.

Where in the
universe will
you find this
element?

What do
people in
Colombia or
other
countries use
this element
for?
C1

What do you
consider will
be the role of
chemistry in
the future in
terms of
C2

Global water supply

Chemistry helps
global water because
with chemistry we can
purify water.

World Nutrition

Chemistry is important
when you cook food.
Chemistry helps us to
preserve food or the way
ingredients interact to
make new food.

Global Health

Chemistry will help

health in the future
because scientists will
find new ways of
making medicine and
vaccines.
