Lesson #2: CHEMICAL BONDING

Learning Goals: Explain properties of metals in terms of
their structure DUE DATE: January 11, 2018

Instruction: Gemstones, also called gems, are minerals containing metals. The small amounts of metals
cause the different colors of gemstones. List down 10 gemstones and identify the metal that gives color to the
gem. Write your answers in a table. Then, answer the question that follows. Upload your answers in the
Google Classroom.

1) Gemstones are used in jewelry and other decorative pieces. What are the properties of gemstones that
make them useful as ornaments?

2) What metals are common to these gemstones?

3) Are gemstones organic or inorganic substances? Explain your reasoning.
