Test 1~Part 3

Hey everybody!!!  This picture is the final part of Test 1!!!  Gabby and I made this on Sunday.  The black golf balls represent protons, and the white ones represent neutrons.  The marbles around it represent the electrons, orbiting around the nucleus.  Although the hula hoops don't represent where the electrons necessarily are, they represent where they could be.  Hope you all like it!



Here is our model of Boron!!!!!

Test 1~Part 1

Hey everybody!  Here is my the test I made for Test 1.  It would be great if anyone wanted to take it (I promise there are no essays!)

Extra Credit

Ok, sorry.... I haven't learned how to edit my post yet, so I accidentally hit publish (again.)  Anyway, this picture is of the crystalline in the compound.

Here is another picture of the compound itself....      




I got all of my information off of Wikipedia :)

Extra Credit

Aluminum Oxide is an inorganic compound that has a common name of alumina, and is mostly used in the production of aluminum.  It is an amphoteric oxide, which means that it can react to either an acid or a base.  Corundum is a crystalline form of this compound, which basically means that the atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in an organized way.  


This picture is of it's crystalline solid pattern-->

Parts of Atoms II

Sorry about the last post... I accidentally hit "Publish."  Ok, so there is a very LONG video posted, and I completely understand if you don't want to watch it... so here is a quick recap of everything on it. :)


  • protons=positive charge, neutrons=neutral charge, and electrons=negative charge
  • protons and neutrons are in the nucleus, and electrons orbit the nucleus
  • protons are made of quarks ( Up, Up, Down)
  • neutrons are make of quarks (Down, Down, Up)
  • six types of quarks = Up, Down, Top, Bottom, Charm, Strange 
  • electrons are EXTREMELY small
  • amu = atomic mass units (electrons= 1/1836, protons and neutrons= 1)
  • atomic number is found at the top of the square (number of protons)
  • electrons don't have quarks and gluons
  • electrons are used for electricity 
  • gluons hold quarks together
  • model of what an atom really looks like and what it looks like for our purposes

this is a model of what an atom looks like for our purposes.... is this dumbed down or what???????  hahaha








Hope this helps everyone!  Happy Labor Day!
