Concept Introduction:
An element is a simplest type of a pure substance which is composed of only one type of matter. For examples: silver, gold, platinum etc.
Pure substance which is made up of two or more same type of matter combined in a definite proportion. For example: Oxygen molecule containing two atoms of oxygen.
A pure substance or compound is composed of two or more type of matter in definite proportion. For examples: ammonia which is composed by Hydrogen and nitrogen in definite proportion etc.

Some salts make hydrates when there is moisture around. Some hydrate samples can absorb lights in visible legion. Therefore,
they show some colors. Thus, hydrates can be used to detect the moisture in the environment.
Let's say you are working in a laboratory with a group and you are the only student who has taken chemistry courses. Your
laboratory received a sample of cobalt(iI) chloride which has the formula CoCl2xH20. Let's say your boss asked you to find the
formula of this hydrate salt sample since you are the only chemist there. From your laboratory experience, simply explain the
experimental procedure you would follow to find the formula of this unknown sample.
Then, use the given data for the calculation part.
Mass of crucible: 32.27g
Mass of crucible + unknown hydrate: 33.92 g
Color of unknown hydrate: purple
Mass of crucible + anhydrous form of hydrate: 33.41 g
Color of anhydrous form: sky blue
Now, we will investigate diatomic molecules, those that are made up of two of the same type of atom.
Select 2 fluorine atoms. How many valence electrons are in each fluorine atom?
Is a fluorine atom a metal or a non-metal?
Did the combination of these atoms create a covalent or ionic bond?
How are the valence electrons organized to form a bond between these atoms?
How is this different from the ionic bonds formed in the previous part of the activity?
