Hon Chemistry 2-13-20 Periodic Trends, Pt. 2

HON CHEMISTRY: Here’s the last of the trends – not car trends, periodic trends! 2nd ionization energy, electron affinity, ionic radii, and electronegativity. Whew!

We’ve finished the chapter! Don’t forget though that part of the first part of chapter is still important as you prepare for the test! A great way to review the Element Scavenger Hunt is watching the videos of elements from this chapter I mentioned earlier at periodicvideos.com. Very interesting(!), with tons of useful information!

The videos that would be great review from the s-block for the test are potassium, magnesium, and calcium.

The videos that would be great review for the p-Block are carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine. http://periodicvideos.com/

The videos that would be great review for d block are copper and mercury. And there are other interesting ones you might like to watch just for fun!

The videos that would be great review for the f-Block are neodymium, thorium, and uranium.

Hon Chemistry 2-12-20 Atomic Radii & Ionization Energy

HON CHEMISTRY: Hey guys, here’s the first lecture on periodic trends – atomic radii and ionization energy. You made some great connections today!

We’ve started a new part of the chapter! Don’t forget though that part of the first part of chapter is still important as you prepare for the test! Make sure you’ve making progress on watching the videos of elements from this chapter I mentioned earlier at periodicvideos.com. Very interesting(!), with tons of useful information!

The videos that would be great review from the s-block for the test are potassium, magnesium, and calcium.

The videos that would be great review for the p-Block are carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine. http://periodicvideos.com/

The videos that would be great review for d block are copper and mercury. And there are other interesting ones you might like to watch just for fun!

The videos that would be great review for the f-Block are neodymium, thorium, and uranium. Go pop some popcorn and have some movie time!

Chemistry 2-11-20 Photoelectric Effect & Bohr Model of the Atom

CHEMISTRY: Fun field trip today!! Good job coming up with examples of the photoelectric effect. What? There really aren’t tiny people living in boxes above the doors at Target? And I just thought of another one, what about those automatic flush toilets!

Physics 2-11-20 Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation

PHYSICS: Wait! There’s a fourth law? Yep – Newton’s law of universal gravitation! So when you jump off of something, the Earth moves, huh?

You’ve learned little g, now you know big G! Good job setting up the problems, also make sure you can apply the concepts.

Ready to escape? 🙂

Physics 2-10-20 Rotational Dynamics

PHYSICS – Wow! Could you do this? Here’s the lecture on rotational inertia, angular velocity, and angular momentum – rotational dynamics! We’ll pick up the conservation of angular momentum tomorrow. Fun times!

By the way – I wonder how all this applies to other rotating things…like maybe the Earth? Hmmmmm……

Chemistry 2-6-20 Wave Properties of Light

CHEMISTRY: Isn’t this a super cool picture of light? So tell me again, if we’re supposed to be figuring out electrons, why are we studying waves?

I’m thinking you’ve probably memorized the electromagnetic spectrum after that inspirational song; however, also sure you also know the uses of the different types (all except for long waves). Just in case you’d like to hear it again: Electromagnetic Spectrum Song

How’d you like the light problems so far? Be sure and learn the formulas, the two constants, and practice, practice, practice!
