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 are the notes on the d, f, and p Block elements.

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.

To make your study of the elements even more interesting(!), there are some really great videos with tons of useful information at this site: http://periodicvideos.com/. There will be 7 videos in all: H, K, Hg, C, As, O, F. After you watch the videos, you will LIST 2 properties and 2 uses of each element. Type or hand write the answers. Convert your final document to a PDF and submit into your Google Drive Chemistry Shared Folder.

Go pop some popcorn and have some movie time!

The element from the d block that I especially want you to watch is Mercury. The elements from the p block that I especially want you to watch are Carbon, Arsenic, Oxygen, and Fluorine. And there are other interesting ones you might like to watch just for fun!

CHEMISTRY: Great start to a new chapter! I love that you are going to be learning some really cool stuff about the elements on the Periodic Table.

Here is the intro the the history of the periodic table and the properties of the elements of the s block. We’ll pick up with the d, f and p blocks in the next lesson!

The videos that you must watch from the s-block are Hydrogen and Potassium.
