A. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level and the composition of the nucleus of atoms.

B. Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties.

C. Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the macroscale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles.

D. Develop a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical reaction system depends upon changes in total bond energy.

E. Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs.

F. Refine the design of a chemical system by specifying a change in conditions that would produce increased amounts of products at equilibrium.

G. Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.

H. Develop models to illustrate the changes in the composition of the nucleus of the atom and the energy released during the processes of fission, fusion, and radioactive decay.
