Chemistry 10-21-24 Elements & Intro to the Periodic Table

CHEMISTRY – Wow! Do you realize what we just did?!? We finished the chapter!!! Did you feel like today was mostly review?

There are three elements that you will research for the test – Cu, Si, and P. A great resource to research the elements (and the only one you need besides the textbook) are these video clips on copper, phosphorus, and silicon that a group of chemistry researchers have put together at www.periodicvideos.com. Watch these and take notes. The information on these video clips will be on the test.. If you can’t get the phosphorus video to work, use this link on YouTube https://youtu.be/LSYLUat03A4

Hey, have you had a chance to check out the chapter 1 study suggestion sheet? Let me know if there is anything you need help with before the test! (And you’re still learning the symbols of the elements, right?!?)

Chemistry 2-8-24 Single Replacement Reactions & the Activity Series

CHEMISTRY: Great job with single replacement today. Super important – ALWAYS check the activity series!!

We’ve done 15 so far – how are you doing on memorizing them?! Careful though, don’t just memorize. Make sure you can apply them as well. When you start to work any equation, first determine what type of reaction it is, then figure out what rule applies and follow it to determine the products. I believe in you! You can do it!!
