Chemistry 12-2-15 Intro to Atomic Theory

CHEMISTRY: So how do you feel about being made from earth, air, water, and fire? Here’s the very short intro we did on how we ended up with the atomic theory. Had you ever heard of Lavosier, Proust, and Dalton?

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you were not in class today, Wednesday, you need to do the in class assignment that we did together in class. The instructions for it are towards the beginning of the vodcast. Follow along just like you were in class. Use the online textbook to write Dalton’s Atomic Theory, and then write the Modern Atomic Theory and compare and contract it with Dalton as you go through the vodcast.

Any questions about the Sock & Can Model of the Atom? You need to bring to class TUESDAY a cleaned, empty can like a soup can, etc. It cannot be glass, plastic, or a soft drink can. In the can, place 3 or more random items from your house. Put the can and items into a long sock – the sock must be long enough so that at least six inches or so is left over the top of the can. Tape any sharp edges around your can!! Due Tuesday!!!
