Now let’s turn it around. Here’s the discussion from Wednesday on how to use electron configuration to determine the period, block, group, and type for an element. We’ll start reviewing for the exam tomorrow. I’ve already put the exam review for you on Edline.

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!!

How did you like playing Mendeleev? Did it give you a better appreciation for the work that those early scientists did? We’ll continue our discussion of the history of the periodic table on Monday. Triboluminescence tomorrow!!

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.
