CHEMISTRY: Wow! Did you every dream there was that much interesting and important stuff to know about the s, p, d, and f block elements?! Here’s a final run through all the slides, clarifing some information and filling in gaps you might have.
As you are studying, make sure you go back and practice figuring out the period, block, group, and type of element from the electron configuration. And don’t forget the topics I asked you to research for yourself that you will find on the Chapter 5 Stuff to Know Sheet on Edline!!
To make your research even more interesting(!), there are some really interesting videos with tons of useful information at this site: http://periodicvideos.com/
Some great videos to watch from the s-block for the test are potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
Some great videos to watch for the p-Block are carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine. http://periodicvideos.com/
Some great videos to watch from the d block are: copper and mercury. And there are other interesting ones you might like to watch just for fun!
Some great videos to watch from the f block are: neodymium, thorium, and uranium. Go pop some popcorn and have some movie time!
Hon Chemistry 2-3-15 Conclusion of cLAB: Element Reverse Scavenger Hunt from Tammy Skinner on Vimeo.
This week we learned about some history of the periodic table. We also watched a video about how Napoleon’s death was linked to the element known as Arsenic. I was also happy to receive a good grade for the element scavenger hunt that I turned in. Now I need to study for the chapter 4 test re-do and then the chapter 5 test so I can finish out this quarter on a good note.
This week in chemistry Was interesting. Looking up the elements I found out some things I wouldn’t have thought of like products they make. The lab also helped me to understand how trends in groups and periods vary. This week I give myself 5 stars.
i rate myself 5 out of 5 stars for this week learning the chemical formulas and the noble gas notation it was a really good week for me. The test was pretty easy because the amount of practice we have in the class.
