11/16 HS Chem update and homework due 11/30
Hi folks,
Today we spent time on one of the more confusing concepts of chemistry. The confusing concept of the quantum method of electron configuration. This is quite tricky since it is something that is very hard to visualize. Once you do a few, however, it gets fairly simple. I've included some pictures below of the different orbitals just for fun. Homework this week will be to do quite a few of these configurations.
Homework due next class is to:
Without using the "shortcut" write the quantum electron configurations of
a. Na b. P c. Ar d. Rb e. Ru f. Sb g. Po Feel free to use www.ptable.com to check your answers. Click on the "orbitals" tab to see the configurations. (Remember, some of your answers may be off due to the fact that the transition metals and the bottom two rows get a bit loose with the rules.)
Read Chapter 5 pgs.146-152
Answer Review Questions Pg 166 and 167 #'s 22 - 37
Last but not least MEMORIZE THOSE POLYATOMIC IONS AND THEIR CHARGES!! This will serve you well as class goes one.
One last thing, there are two possibilities for extra credit at the moment. You can read the book Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean and you can also memorize and recite the periodic table. You can do this any time this year to get 10 points of credit.

Science Class Information
Hi folks,
Just wanted to let you all know that this week will be a normal week but the following week (Nov. 19 - 23) we will be off due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. I hope everyone has safe travels and marvelous meals!
Also, the end of the trimester is here so payments are due this week.
Best,

11/9 Chemistry update and homework due 11/16
Hi folks,
Today we dove a bit deeper into the periodic table and began making "words" (molecules) with our knowledge of the period table.
Homework for this week is to:
Read Pages 133 - 146 in the text book
Do Review Questions on page 166 and 167 #'s 1- 21. Just do the odd #'s
Create stable molecules using the following atoms.
1. H with Cl
2. Mg and F
3. K with Br
4. Na with Cl
5. H with C
6. C with Cl
7. O and O
8. C and O
9. N and N
10. H and C and N
11. H and C and O

11/2 Chemistry update and homework due 11/9
Hi folks,
Today we got a bit deeper into the periodic tables and discussed three of the different trends that can be found in the periodic table.
For homework this week please do the enclosed .pdf. Skip # 5.
AND
Go to this website. Click on game and play all 4 of the games provided. When done, please take a picture or a screenshot of the finished games with at least 4 of the 5 stars achieved for each game. This is a little tricky because they use a different standard for the periodic table. The atomic # is in the bottom left, the atomic mass is in the upper left and the charge is in the upper right.
Best,
Jim Mueller
