WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2012: CHAPTER 5 TEST
Students will be evaluated upon Chapter 5, Electrons in Atoms, that is based upon light and quantized energy, quantum theory and the atom, and the electron configuration of several atoms. Students need to review all pertinent handouts on said topic … Continue reading
Tuesday the 27th of November 2012, Homework: Chapter 5 Review
As a final reinforcement upon Electrons in atoms, students are to answer the following questions as a review for their chapter test on Wednesday: Pages 166-168, do #’s: 35, 44, 45, 60, 61, 68, 70, 76, 77, 85, 86, 87, … Continue reading
Monday the 26th of November 2012, Review & Reinforcement: Electrons in Atoms
We will answer and correct both the study guide for Section 5.3, Electron Configuration, and our virtual lab on the atomic theory. In the time remaining, student will embark upon reviewing chapter 5, Electrons in Atoms, for Wednesday’s chapter test.
Virtual Lab: Atomic Theory
Students will visit a subpage of a website called visionlearning.com and review and reinforce the behavior of electrons, elaborate upon Bohr’s model of the atom, comment on line spectra, and reinforce our actual hands-on lab, the Flame Test. Furthermore, students will … Continue reading
Homework: Section 5.3 Electron Configuration Study Guide
Students will reinforce the ground-state electron configuration that we have discussed and practiced last week, complete a data table that is based upon said topic and their orbitals, and be able to draw and analyze the importance of valence electrons … Continue reading
Review and Reinforce: Ground State Electron Configuration, Orbital Diagrams and Electron Configuration Notation, and Valence Electrons
ON MONDAY, we will review the three rules on how electrons are arranged in an atom’s orbitals. Furthermore, we will answer and correct the two methods that are used to represent an atom’s electron configuration (Orbital Diagrams and Electron Configuration … Continue reading
Electron Configuration Practice!
We will reinforce and practice upon the electron configuration process that we discussed in class yesterday and correct homework page 67 in our Science Notebook Reading Guide based on said topic.
Section 5.3: Electron Configuration
We will discuss and reinforce a set of three rules that can be used to determine electron arrangement in an atom. We will examine the ground state of electron configuration in terms of the aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and … Continue reading
Homework: Section 5.2, Reinforcement: Quantum Theory and the Atom
Students will reinforce the Quantum theory of the atom by elaborating upon Bohr’s model of the atom and comparing/contrasting it to the quantum mechanical model of the atom. Furthermore, students will relate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to Schrodinger wave equation. … Continue reading
Lab Activity: Flame Test
Note that students are to follow the given procedure in the lab and observe the safety rules per our classroom contract. Students will examine the results of a flame test that is used to demonstrate the emission spectrum of seven different substances as … Continue reading
