Hon Chemistry 3-28-13 Decomposition & Single Replacement Reactions

HON CHEMISTRY: Happy Easter! Here’s a lecture from today on decomposition and single replacement reactions – and you got a head start on the activity series.

This makes 15 reactions so far, and we’ll do the rest Tuesday. Careful though, don’t just memorize them. Make sure you can apply them as well. When you start to work any equation, first determine what type of reaction it is, then figure out what rule applies and follow it to determine the products. I believe in you! You can do it!!

Chemistry 3-28-13 Ionic Vs. Covalent Bonds

CHEMISTRY: Happy Easter! Isn’t this a beautiful crystal of copper sulfate pentahydrate? Since we’ve been talking about crystal lattice structures, I thought you might like to see something different than salt!

Here are the notes from Thursday – review of some the homework and then a discussion of the properties of ionic vs. covalent compounds. Great topics for discussion!!
