Please make sure you are checking in with our Google Classroom and iLearn regularly. I post announcements on Google Classroom related to our work and iLearn will have new links and resources added throughout the week. Also, the new information related to our video meetings will be posted to iLearn (we need to use Big Blue Button instead of Google Meet).
This week, I have tried to organize the instructions to be more clear.
What to read: Read this simple wikipedia description of atomic radius.
Questions to answer in your notes: How does this short article relate to the reading from last week? What other questions do you have about what you are learning from these articles?
Visualization or drawings to put in your notes: Make a sketch or drawing to describe the pattern or trend of how atomic radius changes related to where the element is on the periodic table. (To help, check out examples of professionals doing these types of visualizations: Compound Chem, ThoughtCo, Online Textbook. Please do not copy, the point of this exercise is to do the work yourself. Email me if you have questions or issues).
