HON CHEMISTRY – Hey guys, here’s the lecture on valence electrons and how you find the possible ion charge of an atom. Three things to get straight – valence electrons, how many electrons an atom gains or loses, and how that relates to the charge of the atom. Also today we talked about the last [...]

CHEMISTRY: Hey guys, how do you like the new Smart board? We’re still having a bit of a challenge with the recordings, so I’m going to try to post the lecture from Friday – electron affinity, ionic radii, valence electrons and electronegativity, but let me know if it doesn’t work. Good luck studying for your [...]

CHEMISTRY: Here’s the lecture from Thursday on the beginning of the end of chapter 5. We began by review some periodic trends like electron configurations and valence electrons. Then, we talked about atomic radii and ionization energy. We’ll try to finish the discussion Friday.

HON CHEMISTRY: How are you doing with electron configuration notation? Do you like it better than orbital notation – a lot shorter, huh? Practice tonight, and let’s look at an even shorter way tomorrow. No peeking! Make sure you do electron configuration the regular way tonight, not using n—e g-s c———–n! flickr photo by tricky [...]

CHEMISTRY – I just love dots! Here’s the lecture from Friday on drawing electron dot notation. Great job! flickr photo by Spotted drum ♥ (on & off)

HON CHEMISTRY: Hey guys, here’s the lecture on ionic bonding. Remember, when you write ionic bonding, you’re not trying to arrange a single structure like you do with Lewis structures. Instead, you’re writing an equation that shows electrons being lost by one atom and gained by another atom. Make sure you put the dots in [...]

HON CHEMISTRY: Welcome back – I missed you!! Don’t you just luuuuuvvvv dots?! Here’s the lecture from Tuesday on electron dot notation and the intro to the types of chemical bonds. flickr photo by newwavegurly

HON CHEMISTRY: Happy Monday! 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. flickr photo by doncon402
