Friday, November 20th and Monday, November 23 After the devotion, I returned the Major Test - Atomic Structure and Binary Ionic Compounds. We then went over the homework questions and turned them in with credit cards. Finally, we had a short quiz over the ions you have to memorize. Assignment: Do the following problems at the end of Chapter 5, stating on page 134. You must do ALL of each question, but you only have to write the answers. They are: 2,3,4,5,9,12,13,33,34,35,36,45, and 46 Wednesday, November 18th and Thursday, November 19th After the devotion, weorganized our notebooks. I have graded your tests but will not return them until next class because I have so many students who were absent and have not taken it. However, your grades are posted if you want to check JPII net. We then took notes on Ionic Polyatomic Ions. We also made Cornell Note List of the ions that you must MEMORIZE. You will note that they have been removed from the back of the white periodic table because I will not tell you what they are or what their charges are. You must memorize them. However, most of them are in Groups I - VII on the periodic table, so you should know their symbols and charges based on their location. The rest of the period we spent practicing writing formulas and naming Ionic Compounds. Assignment: 1) Memorize the assigned ions for a quiz next class and 2) Do Practice - Writing and Naming Ionic Compounds Monday, November 16th and Tuesday, November 17th After the devotion, I stamped the Writing Binary Compounds #2 and we went over them. Next, we graded the take home Daily Quiz - Atomic Structure and Binary Ionic Compounds. The rest of the period was spent taking the test - Atomic Structure and Binary Ionic Compounds. Assignment: No homework tonight Thursday, November 12th and Friday, November 13th After the devotion, we went over the Homework - SAT-II and Average Atomic Mass with a twist. We then went over the homework for writing and naming binary ionic compounds. After a brief practice, we began the Daily Quiz - Atomic Structure and Binary Ionic Compounds, but since we ran out of time, I sent it home to be finished at home. This is NOT a group project, rather an individual assignment. Assignment: 1) Do Binary Ionic Compounds Part II and 2) Finish the Daily Quiz 3) We will have a short major test on Monday/Tuesday over atomic Structure and Ionic Binary Compounds Tuesday, November 10th and Wednesday, November 10th After the devotion, we first looked at the format for SAT-II Chemistry questions and did a couple of Average Atomic Mass Problems with a twist. These were done on Dyknow so you can go back and replay them if you have trouble on your homework. Next, we reviewed writing chemical formulas of binary ionic compounds with metals in columns I - III. After that, we learned how to deal with transition metals with variable charges by indicating the charge with Roman Numberals. We practiced writing chemical formulas and then we went through the rules for naming binary ionic compounds. Assignment: 1) Do the SAT-II Homework Questions and 2) Finish the Ionic Binary Compounds homework that you started last night, doing both the front and the back. Friday, November 6th and Monday, November 9th After the devotion, I returned the Daily Quiz - Atoms, Ions, and Isotopes and we corrected it. The homework from the textbook was due along with Credit Cards and we went over the homework. We then worked on learning to write chemical formulas for binary compounds using Dyknow notes. Assign: Begin Homework - Binary Compounds. You can only do the front side, and only the ones with the metals that are in columns I - VII. We did not get to those with transition metals in the center of the chart. Wednesday, November 4th and Thursday, November 5th After the devotion, I stamped the Average Atomic Mass homework and we went over it. We then took the Daily Quiz - Atoms, Ions, and Isotopes. The rest of the period was spent finishing the Average Atomic Mass Lab. Homework: Do the following problems starting on page 104. For #41, you must draw out the chart. The problems are: 1, 3, 37 a-f, 39 a-f, 40, 41, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 76, 77, 78, 95 (be sure you answer all parts) Monday, November 2nd and Tuesday, November 3rd After the devotion, we practiced Atomic Structure using dry erase boards. Next, I stamped the homework that was due today (Homework - Atoms. Ions, and Isotopes) and we went over all of the correct answers. We then worked another sample problem for finding the average atomic mass. At the end of the period, we started an average atomic mass lab where we are finding the average atomic mass of an element using peaks from a mass spectrometer. We will finish this lab in class next time. Assignment: 1) Do Atomic Mass Problems 2) Study for a Daily Quiz - Atomic Structure for next class. Study your notes and corrected homework for today. There will also be an average atomic mass problem on the quiz. Wednesday, October 28th and Thursday, October 29th I did not see sophomores on Thursday, October 29th. On "A" Day - the 28th, we practiced atomic structure on Dry Erase Boards and then students did their Homework - Atomic Structure. The same is true for Juniors on "B" Day. Assignment: Homework - Atomic Structure due Monday/Tuesday. Monday, October 26th and Tuesday, October 27th After the devotion, we turned in the Homework - Math Practice with credit cards. The rest of the period was spent working on Notes and Examples Atomic Structure. First, we learned how to draw atoms and place the electrons in the energy levels (electron shells). What matters most to an element is the number of electrons in its outer shell because it determines whether it is stable or not. We then learned how to determine the # electron shells there are in an atom and the # outer shell electrons there are without having to draw the atom, but rather looking at the location of the element on the periodic chart. We also learned why and how atoms for ions to become stable and learned about isotopes and average atomic mass. Assignment: 4th period did not have any homework. We will do it in class tomorrow, but 6th and 7th have to do "Homework - Atoms, Ions, and Isotopes" because they will not be in class on Thursday due to the Sophomore retreat. Wednesday, October 21st and Thursday, October 22nd After the devotion, I handed out new Homework Credit Cards for the 9 weeks and we turnend in the Virtual Elements Tour.
