General Chemistry

Welcome Back from Spring Break!

Week 23 Resources/ Assets


Updated March 9, 2019
Please make sure you READ everything on this page or you will miss important details. I will archive past weeks Announcements pages for a limited time only under their respective Trimesters 1, 2 and 3 tabs, if you need to go back to a particular weeks information for any reason.

Week 22 ​in Review

The week before break we started Chapter 13 - Electrons in Atoms. Recollect that for your purposes, this chapter is nearly math-free since the calculations and mathematical models that physicists used to describe quantum theory involve advanced calculus and fall outside the scope of this class. Because the principles contained therein cannot be explained by linear algebra, they are conceptually challenging. The chapter is broken down as follows:
  • Section 13.1 Models of the Atom
  • Section 13.2 Electron Arrangement in Atoms
  • Section 13.3 Physics and the Quantum Mechanical Model
Chemists are particularly interested in electrons because they are the little rascals responsible for chemical reactions. When electrons move from one atom to another, chemical reactions occur!
When you return from Break, the Discussion section of your paper will be due. All of you should have already turned in Methods and Results (Data) Sections. Here are the due dates for the individual constituents:
  • Tuesday, February 26th - Methods and Results (Data) Section (already turned in)
  • Tuesday, March 12th - Discussion section
  • Tuesday, March 19th - Introduction
  • Tuesday, March 26th - Complete revised paper (if you submit an Abstract, I'll give you some extra credit)
While I will be merciful with respect to IMRAD style and APA format, I will not be so with grammar. You all need to proof read your papers, or have another student/ parent do this - I will provide feedback only on mechanics - not on grammar. Please take time to look at The OWL at Purdue Online Writing Lab website for tips on writing papers in APA format.

You can expect one more paper in this format due in Trimester 3. 

Upcoming Week 23

This week we will complete Chapter 13 - Electrons in Atoms. Please come to class prepared to take notes and bring any questions from the homework with  you. Do note on your syllabus that we are scheduled to perform the Flame Tests laboratory. I plan to move this to next Tuesday, March 19th. I will have the laboratory protocol uploaded on this webpage next week.

After completing Chapter 13, we will move right into Chapter 14 - Chemical Periodicity. It is divided into the following sections:
  • Section 1: Classification of the Elements
  • Section 2: Professor Dave Explains Periodic Trends
PRINT OUT the worksheets for Chapter 14 (linked right) BEFORE doing any reading in the chapter. We will be using as an instructional resource for this chapter the Professor Dave Explains video: The Periodic Table: Atomic Radius, Ionization Energy, and Electronegativity (linked right). There are only a few questions on the homework that will require you to read parts of Chapter 14.

Check-off List of Things to Do:

So that  you are properly prepared for classes next week, please make sure you do the following by:
Tuesday, March 12th:
  1. Typed Discussion section of scientific paper.
  2. Be prepared to take a quiz covering what we have discussed so far from Chapter 13.
