a) The question we're trying to answer was to identify electrons in energy excited stage, while finding certain common metals and identifying unknown ones with a fire test.
b)What we did during our investigation was get coated toothpicks that had a coating of the certain metal and put it through a lit bunson burner to find out the color it was giving, the reason we were doing it like this was to identify the metals beforehand, then try and identify the unknown ones by matching the certain color shades.
c)My claim was that the first one we did (unknown 1) was sodium the second one (unknown 2) is barium, the third one (unknown 3) strontium and last (unknown 4) was potassium.
For my evidence I made a list on paper that showed the substances (copper.etc) matched with the color given on paper. For bold is substance and color is normal font. Calcium - dark orange Burium - yellow green Lithium - red Potassium - peach Sodium - sunset orange strongium - orange red uk(unknown) 1 - orange yellow uk 2 - yellow green uk 3 - red orange uk 4 - peach  .
Lastly the reasoning, when the electron goes from a high to low lvl (which excited from the fire) in the electron cloud it has to release energy to form of light. Color is unique because each wavelength produces a different color/shade and you get different wavelengths from different #s of electrons. We matched the UK1 to sodium because both produced an orange yellow flame from the bunson burner. UK2 with barium because they booth produced a yellow green color. UK3 with strontium because they both made a red orange. Finally, UK4 with potassium since they're both peach.

3 Question Blog
1) The tasks I have completed recently is figuring out metals wavelengths and colors with fire tests.
2)I've learn how to find the frequency with the speed of light equation and how to find energy with the frequency and how electrons move to higher state also known being excited and then going to ground state.
3)What I plan on doing next to improve understanding is by remembering the formulas and certain powers of nano meters and other metric systems.

3 Ques. Blog 11/24

1)The tasks I have completed were finding if reactivity of an element shows a periodic property. 2)I have learned how to find a certain element from its groups, column, and families. 3)I plan on noting it better so I can find the valance and groups and such much faster. In a way I can remember better.

1) The question we were trying to answer was do average masses of different beans really equal a standard quantity? 2)What we did for our investigation was we got 50 beans of each type of bean and than we scaled them, finding out which one weigh less in which we use that one to get our relative mass for the beans. We did it like this way so we can see if they could equal the standard quantity of the beans. 3)Our claim was yes, because the bean count was equal to it's relative mass. Our evidence is the picture below, which shows the bean type, mass, relative mass, and bean count. Our reasoning comes in 3 parts,  for the first part was why we choose yes, because the bean count all fell around the '20' amount. Rather then random numbers. On the second part for what the relative mass means, is was the relative mass will be the bean w/the smallest mass which, will be the bean all are compared to(each type of bean) example: lint bean/ kidney bean. And the last part for how this

1)The question we were trying to answer if  reactivity is a periodic property . 2)What we did for our investigation is we got certain elements and put them in regular water to see the reaction. Since water is very simple, it made sense to put the elements in it to watch the results. 3)My claim was 'Yes, reactivity is a periodic property.' My evidence was what the element was, and what we matched what happend when it touched the water. (Highest Reactivity to Low) ----Potassium | It generated a pink flame and fizzed and moved around. ----Sodium | Fizzed and spinned around. ----Calcium | Bubbled and fizzed. ----Magnesium | Nothing when in water and turned pink when heated. ----Copper | Nothing even when heated My reasoning was 'Potassium was more reactive than Sodium, because Potassium caught on fire and Sodium did not. Then Calcium didn't moved around but fizzed like Sodium. Then Magnesium had nothing to do with the water by itself intill put in heat, and Copper
