Winter ‘10 Chemistry 105 Unit 3 2/24 Outcomes: 1. To relate, after examining issues, conflicts between the need for reducing carbon emissions and the concerns over nuclear power. 2. To review the structure of the nucleus, isotope symbols, and to describe what “missing mass” means. 3. To know that some nuclei are unstable, and may spontaneously decompose, or may be bombarded and caused to decompose, liberating energy. 4. To describe the events of a chain reaction in which more neutrons are produced than consumed. 5. To describe the principal construction details of a nuclear power plant, including how the reaction is controlled, how energy is obtained, and what components are radioactive. 6. To have a general overview of where nuclear power is prevalent on a global scale. 7. To describe and give symbols for three fundamental types of radioactivity emissions. 8. To use these symbols with isotope formulas in nuclear equations to communicate nuclear changes. 9. To know in which type of decay processes atomic numbers increase and decrease. 10. To describe and contrast the nuclear accidents that occurred at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, and the outcomes of each. Assignments: Read §7.1 – 7.6.

Presentation rough outline due. 3/3 Outcomes: 1. To gain and communicate a perspective on the extent that petroleum-based polymers (plastics) have replaced traditional materials (including natural polymers) in our society and technology. 2. To explain the difference between the size and the reactivity of monomers and polymers. 3. To know the differences in the structure and bonding of ethylene and polyethylene and to describe how the addition polymerization reaction takes place. 4. To describe the differences between high-density and low-density polyethylene and identify them by their recycling number. 5. To use a symbolic representation of the repeating structural unit of polymers. 6. To know the term “plasticizer” represents a different material on a plastic used to give to flexibility. 7. To know the names of the six plastic types represented by recyclable numbers 1 – 6 and describe the key functional groups distinguishing numbers 2 – 6. 8. To know the difference in manufacture of polystyrene and “Styrofoam.” 9. To describe the structural differences in the polymer chain of condensation polymers vs. addition polymers. Given a repeating unit, to identify polyesters from the ester functional group. 10. To identify the repeating group in proteins including the peptide bond. 11.
