SBEC Chemistry and Physics » HChemNotes http://tskinnersbec.edublogs.org Use what talents you possess, for the woods would be silent if no birds sang except for the best. - Henry van Dyke Thu, 10 Dec 2009 02:10:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 en hourly 1 Hon Chemistry 12-8-09 Chapter 5 Test Review http://tskinnersbec.edublogs.org/2009/12/08/hon-chemistry-12-8-09-chapter-5-test-review/ http://tskinnersbec.edublogs.org/2009/12/08/hon-chemistry-12-8-09-chapter-5-test-review/#comments Wed, 09 Dec 2009 02:25:17 +0000 Ms. Skinner http://tskinnersbec.edublogs.org/?p=1356 HON CHEMISTRY: Here it is, for real this time – the last lecture from chapter 5. Today we finished notes on electronegativity – tomorrow pre-test/bonus and then test Thursday. Did you find the Chapter 5 stuff to know/study suggestion sheet on Edline? What about the answers to the “most abundant” questions? Do we need to check the answers to those? Good luck studying. I’ll be praying for you!!

Here’s the lecture on a couple more periodic trends – electron affinity, ionic radii, and valence electrons. We’ll for real finish the chapter tomorrow! Make a change on the syllabus – review tomorrow, pre-test on Wednesday, and TEST on Thursday.

Here’s the lecture on the first periodic trends – atomic radii and ionization energy. We’ll finish second ionization energy and the rest on Monday. Don’t forget the element videos in vodpod collection below. If you want to see videos on all of the elements, a cool website is periodicvideos.com. Just click on the elements, it’d be a great review!Have a great weekend!

Here are the notes on the d block metals, the transition metals. Don’t forget that there are a couple of things from this block that I want you to research for yourself: the role of transition metals in gemstones (know colors and elements) and the role of transition metals in alloys (know names, elements and uses).

You’ll also find notes on all of these lectures on how to read from an elements electron configuration its period, block, group, and type – a definite must for the test.

Here’s an old vodcast on the elements of the periodic table – the p and f blocks. Make sure you go back and practice getting period, block, group, and type of element from the electron congifuration. And don’t forget to go back and look at the nitrogen cycle.
