Hon Chemistry 3-28-22 Applications of Electron Configuration & Homework

HON CHEMISTRY: So now that you can write electron configurations, can you use them? Today we took a look at some of the homework, valence electrons, and using electron configurations to determine period, block, group, and type of element. How’d you do?

Have you checked out the Chapter 4 Stuff to Know Sheet? The test is right around the corner! Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to memorize the things you need to memorize so that you can apply them on the test. And practice, practice, practice, the problems and electron configurations. Did I mention that already?

Chemistry 3-28-22 Intro to Atomic Theory

CHEMISTRY: Here’s the our discussion on how we ended up with the atomic theory. Had you ever heard of Lavosier, Proust, and Dalton?
