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!!
Hey Ms. Skinner, is this Vodcast supposed to not have any sound or is my computer just messing up?
The lab today was really interesting. It was cool to see how you can classify between covalent and ionic compounds!
I found the lab very enjoyable. It is one thing learning by you telling us the properties, but it is another very neat way to see their properties first hand.
I really liked the activity today! It was cool how the light bulb lit up even when something was interfering with the cords!
The activity we had with the battery today was so cool! It was so interesting to see how the light would still light up even with the presence of a metal interrupter
The batter and light activity was really fun! It’s neat to learn about how the electricity can go through other objects, like the metal part of the desk, and still light the bulb up!
Are all bonds that exist either ionic, covalent, or metallic.
J. T. – Those are the major ones. We’ll talk about intermolecular forces next week!
So is a metallic bond stronger than an ionic bond or is it the other way around?
Do we have to use the whistle you picked
Jonathan – Only the one on the list!
The lab we did with electric current we did was very simple and fun!
Since ionic bonds form a crystal structure, is there a specific shape metallic bonds take?
The battery activity was really interesting.
Once you sweat does your body have less electric conductivity from the loss of electrolytes?
Is there any sound to this vodcast or is it just me? I needed to listen to it for the day I was gone for the ACT workshop…
