HS-PS1-2: Chemical Reactions

HS-PS1-2:  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.

HS-PS1-2 Evidence Statements

Video example of a chemical reaction.



The video shows the combustion of magnesium metal.  

2Mg  +  O2  →  2MgO

When magnesium and oxygen react they form an ionic compound. This is due to the fact that magnesium is a metallic element and oxygen is nonmetallic.
