of the electrons; and,
2. Recognize different types of compounds (ionic or covalent) based on their properties, such as
melting point, hardness, polarity, and electrical and thermal conductivity.

3. Discuss the formation of ionic and covalent bonds.
III. Lesson Development (Suggested Time allotment: 1 hour)
A. Quantum Mechanical Model
In Grade 8 Chemistry, you have learned about the particles of matter. How it can be used in
explaining properties, physical changes, structure of substances and mixtures. You also learned that
particles of matter like atoms are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. An atom has its
own structure distinct from the other kind of atoms. Atoms are present in the elements and these
elements are arranged in the periodic table which can be used as a tool in determining the
properties of elements.
Electrons in each orbit have a definite energy, which increases as the distance of the orbit
from the nucleus increases. As long as the electron stays in its orbit, there is no absorption or
emission of energy. As shown in Figure 1, when an electron of an element absorbed extra energy
(from a flame or electric arc), this electron moves
to a higher energy level. At this point the electron
is at its excited state. Once excited, the atom is
unstable. The same electron can return to any of
the lower energy levels releasing energy in the
form of light with a particular color and a definite
energy or wavelength. Bohr’s model explained the
appearance of the bright line spectrum of the
hydrogen atom but could not explain for atoms that
has more than one electron.
Fig.1 An electron of an element absorbed extra energy (from a
flame or electric arc), this electron moves to a higher energy level.

Grade 9: Q2/Weeks 5-6
The energy levels of electrons are like the steps of a ladder. The lowest step of the ladder
corresponds to the lowest energy level. A person can climb up and down by going from step to step.
Similarly, the electrons can move from one energy level to another by absorbing or releasing
energy. Energy levels in an atom are not equally spaced which means that the amount of energy are
not the same. The higher energy levels are closer together. If an electron occupies a higher energy
level, it will take less energy for it to move to the next higher energy level. As a result of the Bohr
model, electrons are described as occupying fixed energy levels at a certain distance from the nucleus
of an atom.
There are concepts you need to know in order to fully understand why atoms form
compounds. The valence electrons are the electrons directly involved in forming bonds to form
compounds. It is important that you know the number of valence electrons so that can illustrate how
bonds are formed. Valence electrons give you the number of electrons at the outermost energy level
of the atom. This is the information you need to know in order for you to determine whether atoms
transfer, accept, or share electrons to become STABLE.
It is good that you have found out that metals have low electronegativity and non-metals
have high electronegativity because this property plays an important role in forming compounds. Do
you know what electronegativity means? Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom
to attract electrons, the higher its value, the higher its tendency to attract electrons. How about
ionization energy? Did you know that ionization energy is the energy needed to pull or remove one
or more electron/s from a neutral atom? The lower the ionization energy the easier it is to remove
its valence electrons.
B. Types of Compounds (Suggested Time allotment: 1 hour)
Ionic compounds formed from strong electrostatic interactions between ions, which result
in higher melting points and electrical conductivity compared to covalent compounds.
Covalent compounds have bonds where electrons are shared between atoms. Due to the
sharing of electrons, they exhibit characteristic physical properties that include lower melting points
and electrical conductivity compared to ionic compounds.

Solution
Oxygen has the atomic number 8 so both the atom and the ion will have 8 protons. The average atomic mass
of oxygen is 16. Therefore, there will be 8 neutrons (atomic mass−atomic number=neutrons)(atomic
mass−atomic number=neutrons). A neutral oxygen atom would have 8 electrons. However, the anion has
gained two electrons so O2−O2− has 10 electrons.
Example No. 1: An ion with a 2+2+ charge has 18 electrons. Determine the identity of the ion.

Grade 9: Q2/Weeks 5-6
Solution
If an ion has a 2+2+ charge then it must have lost electrons to form the cation. If the ion has 18 electrons and
the atom lost 2 to form the ion, then the neutral atom contained 20 electrons. Since it was neutral, it must also
have had 20 protons. Therefore the element is calcium.

Lesson 3- Organic Compounds
WEEK 4
I. Content Standards
The learner demonstrates an understanding on the type of bonds that carbon forms that result in the
diversity of carbon compounds.
Most Essential Learning Competencies: The learners:
1. Explain how the structure of the carbon atom affects the types of bonds it forms; and,
2. Recognize the general classes and uses of organic compounds.
II. Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson, I CAN:
1. Distinguish what are organic compounds and how are they manipulated to become usable; and,
2. Identify some common substances containing carbon.
III. Lesson Development (Suggested Time allotment: 1 hour)
Living things are carbon-based because carbon plays such a prominent role in the chemistry
of living things. This means that carbon atoms, bonded to other carbon atoms or other elements,
form the fundamental components of many, if not most, of the molecules found uniquely in living
things. Other elements play important roles in biological molecules, but carbon certainly qualifies as
the “foundation” element for molecules in living things. It is the bonding properties of carbon
atoms that are responsible for its important role.
Further reading: Please refer to your textbook on pages 87-88.
Carbon Bonding
The four covalent bonding positions of the carbon atom can
give rise to a wide diversity of compounds with many functions,
accounting for the importance of carbon in living things.
Carbon contains four electrons in its outer shell. Therefore, it
can form four covalent bonds WITH other atoms or molecules. The
simplest organic carbon molecule is methane (CH4), in which four
hydrogen atoms bind to a carbon atom (Figure 5).
Fig. 5.Carbon can form four
covalent bonds to create an organic
molecule. The simplest carbon molecule
is methane (CH4), depicted here.

nmbiology1/chapter/carbon-and-carbon-bonding/
However, structures that are more complex are made using carbon. Any of the hydrogen
atoms can be replaced with another carbon atom covalently bonded to the first carbon atom. In this
way, long and branching chains of carbon compounds can be made (Figure 6a). The carbon atoms
may bond with atoms of other elements, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus (Figure 6b).
The molecules may also form rings, which themselves can link with other rings (Figure 6c). This
diversity of molecular forms accounts for the diversity of functions of the biological macromolecules
and is based to a large degree on the ability of carbon to form multiple bonds with it and other atoms.

III. Lesson Development (Suggested Time allotment: 1 hour)
A. Avogadro's Number
Have you tried counting the number of grains of rice in a gallon container? It is difficult to do
so because rice particles are very small and numerous. Chemists face a similar problem when they try
to count atoms. Atoms are too small to be counted one at a time. Because they are so small, it is
difficult to measure the mass of each atom.
In this lesson you will find out how chemists overcome the problems of counting tiny particle
of the atoms and molecules and measuring the moles, mass, and number of particles and relate to one
another.
Mole Concept
Avogadro's number is the number of particles in one mole of a substance. It is a very large number
equal to 6.02 x 1023 particles (constant). So, a mole (mol) of a substance is 6.02 x 1023 representative
particles of that substance. The representative particles can be atoms, molecules, or formula units. So, one
mole of carbon-12 contains 6.02 x 1023 atoms, one mole of water contains 6.02 x 10 23 water molecules and
one mole of sodium chloride (table salt) contains 6.02 x 10 23 formula units of sodium chloride. For you to
figure out how large
10
Grade 9: Q2/Weeks 5-6
Avogadro’s number is, try to imagine this, “if you put together 6.02 x 1023 basketballs, it will be as
big as the Earth or if you have 6.02 x 1023 rice grains, it would cover the land masses of the Earth to a
depth of 75 meters.” Now that you have realized how big Avogadro’s number is. Let us try to visualize the
number of particles in a given sample. (*Source: Wilbraham, A.C., Staley, D.D., Matta, M.S. & Waterman, E.L.
(2007). Chemistry, Teacher’s Ed. Boston, Massachusetts: Pearson, Prentice Hall, Inc.)
Figure 9. The above calculation shows on how to solve molar mass composition.
Further reading: Please refer to your textbook on pages 109-110.
11
Grade 9: Q2/Weeks 5-6
Are you now convinced that one mole of different substances have different masses? Remember that
one mole of a substance contains 6.02x1023 particles. This time, consult the periodic table of elements.
Look for the atomic mass of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, sulfur, potassium, and phosphorus. What do you
observe about their atomic masses? Each element has its own mass different from the others in the same way
that different compounds have different masses.
C. Mass to Mole – Mole to Mass (Suggested Time allotment: 1 hour)
This will intensify your knowledge on mass to mole conversion which can be facilitated by
employing the molar mass as a conversion ratio.
Example No. 2: If you have 34.5 grams of NaCl, how many moles of NaCl do you have?
Solution:

Grade 9: Q2/Weeks 5-6
STEP 2: Determine mass percent of EACH ELEMENT.
The mass percentages of all elements in a compound add up to 100%. In some cases, the sum of the mass
percentage in a compound is not exactly 100% due to the rounding of values.
