SHORT ANSWER

56. Precision is how close a set of measurements of the same quantity are. Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the true value.

57. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons and therefore different mass numbers.

58. A mole is a collection of atoms that is large enough to measure in the laboratory. A single atom is too small.

Elements: Neon Webquest Materials

Your job in this WebQuest is to explore the chemistry behind neon signs, and learn how the different colors of these signs are made. You will discover exactly how the noble gases are inserted into glass tubing, and how the gases are made to glow. You will also learn how different colors of neon signs are created. You will find out how neon glass tubing can be bent and how neon artists create their works of art. Then you will answer a set of questions about neon signs.

• WebElements – The Periodic Table on the WWW.
  Visit this site for information on the noble gases. You can click on any element in this periodic table to read about that element and its properties. Click on any of the noble gases to find out about that element.

• Krypton Neon – Everything you ever wanted to know about Neon.
  Go to this site to find the answers to questions you might have about neon and neon lights. This site is intended more for neon artists than chemistry students.

• Neon Knights: Part 1: An Exploration of Neon.
  At this site you can find out about the discovery of neon and how neon signs operate. Scroll down and click on how are artists using neon to learn more about neon as art.

• Neon Colors.

Chemistry Fireworks Links

Your job in this WebQuest is to discover the component parts of fireworks, and to identify the chemical compounds that are responsible for the brilliant colors that light up the sky as fireworks explode. You will explore the history of fireworks and find out when the first fireworks were invented. You will learn about firework design and how fireworks are built. You will also find out what chemical compounds are responsible for the colors seen in fireworks. Finally, you will answer a set of questions about fireworks to demonstrate what you have learned about the chemistry of fireworks.

Look at the web sites given here to find the information that will enable you to answer questions about the chemistry of fireworks.

• A History of Fireworks. At this site, you can learn about the history of fireworks.

Where did fireworks begin?

• Professional Colors. Visit this site to learn how professionals create the colors that appear during the vibrant displays of fireworks.

• Lights and Colours. Go to this site to see what chemicals create the colors of firesworks. Before the 19^th century, only the colors white, yellow, and orange were possible in fireworks. When did the colors red, green, blue, and purple become possible in fireworks?

• How Fireworks are Made. At this site you can find out what chemical compounds create the colors of modern fireworks.

• NOVA Online: Kaboom! Go to this site for a diagram of the parts of a modern firework. Each part of the diagram has an active label. Click on each label to learn more about that part of the firework.

• The Chemistry of Fireworks. Visit this site to learn more about the chemical reactions in fireworks. Find out what two types of binders are used in fireworks today.
