Chemistry 2-3-17 Spectroscopy Lab, Pt. 2

Posted on by

CHEMISTRY: So that’s how they know what elements are on the sun!!

Are you clear on how to turn in the lab report? Observations from the Part 1 will be in two parts: 1) the written observation – answers to those four questions for BOTH types of light on notebook paper, and 2) your drawings of both kinds of light on different half sheets of card stock or heavy white paper, and then both drawings mounted together on one sheet of construction paper. Be sure to label with the type of light!

Observations from Part 2 with the spectroscope will be answered on the actual lab sheets/packet. Be sure double check to make sure you answered every single observation and question. If you were absent today, watch this vodcast for notes on how to do Part 2. The entire packet will be due on Monday!!

Hon Chemistry 2-3-17 d & f-block Intro & A Look Back at cLAB: Element Reverse Scavenger Hunt

HON CHEMISTRY: Wow! Did you every dream there was that much interesting and important stuff to know about the s, p, d, and f block elements?! Here’s the introduction to the d & f blocks, and then, our beginning of running through all the slides to clarify some information and filled in gaps you might have had.

As you are studying, make sure you go back and practice figuring out the period, block, group, and type of element from the electron configuration. And don’t forget the topics I asked you to research for yourself that you will find on the Chapter 5 Stuff to Know Sheet on Edline!!

To make your research even more interesting(!), there are some really interesting videos with tons of useful information at this site: http://periodicvideos.com/

The videos that you must watch from the s-block for the test are potassium, magnesium, and calcium.

The videos you need to watch for the p-Block are carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine. http://periodicvideos.com/

The elements from the d block that I especially want you to watch are copper and mercury. And there are other interesting ones you might like to watch just for fun!

The videos on from the f-Block that you need to watch are: neodymium, thorium, and uranium. Go pop some popcorn and have some movie time!
