Monday, November 24

All: Complete the worksheet you got in class (if you were out, you can find it under homework docs or pick up a hard copies of everything from me tomorrow).
You will need your ion formula chart (can be found to the left of this post - also here's a video to help with polyatomic ions, if you missed class or you're confused - Formulas with PAI)!

EVERYONE will need this video, even if you were in class (make sure to take notes & sorry for the weird joke he tells...):
Naming Covalent Compounds

**If you missed class, make sure to check in with someone who was in about last night's HW. I will not go over it again, other than in extra help.

***I will be in the X-Cafe during ALL of 4th period tomorrow. If you need academic support, stop on by!

Friday, November 21

All: Use the rules below and the two video links -->  (watch in order: 1 & 2) to complete the worksheet under homework docs (you're welcome to just put the answers in your notebook).
Make sure that all pertinent information also makes it into your notebook!

Rules for Naming Binary Ionic Compounds Containing a Metal Ion With a Fixed Charge
A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a metal, and the other a nonmetal. For example, sodium iodide, NaI, is composed of sodium ions, Na+ (elemental sodium is a metal), and iodide ions, I- (elemental iodine is a nonmetal).

Rule 1. The cation is written first in the name; the anion is written second in the name.

Rule 2. The name of the cation is the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (e.g., Na+ = "sodium").

Rule 3. The anion is named by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element name (e.g., I- = "iodide").

Note: Greek prefixes are not used to indicate the number of atoms of each element in the formula unit for the compound (e.g., Na2O is named "sodium oxide" not "disodium oxide", or "disodium monoxide").

All: Please watch and take notes on this video
Intro to Ionic Bonding

Monday, November 17

All: Complete the worksheet under homework documents. You may use your notes, textbooks, etc. You DO NOT need to draw the Bohr models but DO need to draw the Lewis Structures.

Friday, November 14

Section 4: Complete the white worksheet you got at the end of class (use your textbook! pgs. 182-186)
Extra Credit: See the infographic assignment posted for the honors classes on Wednesday. You may complete this same assignment for extra credit - due by the end of the day on Monday.

Section 4H: Complete the white worksheet you got at the end of class (use your textbook! pgs. 182-186)

Thursday, November 13

Section 3H: Infographic due tomorrow (see yesterday's post). You can email them or drop them off before school, 4th or 6th periods to my office on 3L

Wednesday, November 12

All: Pink worksheet is due next class, front and back.

3H: Test corrections due tomorrow.

Honors Students: Infographic Due on Friday (for section 3H you can email them or drop them off before school, 4th or 6th periods to my office on 3L). Here's what you need to know:

• Goals:
– Visually represent one or more trends in the Periodic table of Elements
– Relate trends to electron configuration
• Directions
Here are the things you need:

  1. You need a pictorial representation or infograph of  one or more of the period trends we've discussed in class.
  2. Your infograph can be 2-dimentional or 3-dimentional, physical or digital. 
  3. You need a written definition of atomic radius, electronegativity and ionization energy, including how each property is related to electron configuration and valence electrons. 
  4. The written descriptions can either be on your infograph of on a separate paper that you turn in with your infograph. 
**Please note that I have seen the infographs that exist for periodic trends on the internet. Be sure not to plagiarize!
***You will be graded on creativity, neatness and the quality of written descriptions.

Section 4: 
1) Use chapter 5 in your textbook to complete the worksheet you picked up at the end of class. (Can also be found under 'homework documents').
2) In your 'It's in the Cards' lab manual, answer questions 6-9. You do not need to write out the definitions from your textbook.
3) Test corrections can be done if you got an 85 or below on your Ch. 4 test.

Section 4H: 
1) Use chapter 5 in your textbook to complete the worksheet you picked up at the end of class. (Can also be found under 'homework documents').
2) In your 'It's in the Cards' lab manual, answer questions 6-9. You do not need to write out the definitions from your textbook.
3) Test corrections can be done if you got an 85 or below on your Ch. 4 test.
4) On Friday,  you will have an 'infographic' due that represents one (or more) periodic trends. Start researching trends and brainstorming ideas. Here are some examples of infographics:

Section 3H: Use chapter 5 in your textbook to complete the worksheet you picked up at the end of class. (Can also be found under 'homework documents').

For Kairos Students: 
Read chapter 5, section 1 in your textbook. Then answer questions 1-5 on page 137. This should be done on loose-leaf. I will collect it next class.
Welcome Back! LT4!!

Thursday, November 6

Sections 3H & 4H: Finish your graphs. Remember x-axis is 'Atomic Number' on both sides. Graph 1 has 'Ionization Energy' as the y-axis label and Graph 2 has 'Electronegativity'.
Then, use Ch. 5, Section 1 of your textbook to answer questions 4 & 5 on page 137 and questions 1-3 on page 166.

Section 4: Finish your graphs. Remember x-axis is 'Atomic Number' on both sides. Graph 1 has 'Ionization Energy' as the y-axis label and Graph 2 has 'Electronegativity'.


Monday, November 3

All: Test tomorrow! There are topics with extra videos below. Also go back through your notes, worksheets, previously posted videos, homework docs and the powerpoint below. There are a lot of study tools - find what works for you!
