Periodic Recap and onto Ions!

CRASH COURSE CHEM: The Periodic Table

Next:
Video #7: The Periodic Table
Scroll down the page.
and watch The Periodic Table (press VoD button)  28 minutes, but you can quit after about 18 minutes, if you wish.

Read ahead: Textbook 3.10 -3.11 + end of chapter  questions for those sections. (page 83)

worksheet: http://academic.pgcc.edu/~bsuitte/chem%201010/Nomenclature_Worksheets%20covers%20all.pdf  Print pages 1-4, and  do  worksheets  #1 & #2!!!

Keep memorizing Periodic table song; making a video soon.
And if you can , read further into Uncle Tungsten.
Thanks, and have a great day

So depending on whether you have studied particle physics before, this stuff is a review or else it is getting your feet wet. There is so much more we could cover, and we will, but for now we are getting used to thinking about the basics of atomic structure and the basic periodic table, and all the vocabulary that goes along.

Very Short but Interesting Videos:
Basic Atomic Structure

Amazing Atoms - What Atoms Are Not Like.

Have you ever seen an atom?

And this will help you with the textbook reading:  Print out the table below before watching the 7 min. video textbook.
  The Periodic Table
Print out this periodic table:
http://www.evanschemistrycorner.com/chempt-2011.pdf
Color in your periodic table in groups as you watch/read:
metals
metalloids
non-metals
Now for Mr. Anderson: A Tour of the Periodic Table (10 min)
Also color in:
alkali metals
alkaline earth metals
halogens
noble gases
transition metals

Reading Textbook: 3.8-3.9, plus section questions on page 82-83  .[If you have trouble with getting to the worksheets, try finding the site and going from there.]

Print this >>>Worksheet:
http://www.evanschemistrycorner.com/Labs/Atomic_Structure/L2-5A_Drawing_Atomic_Diagrams.pdf  The diagrams might look like this (electrons are in energy levels) except you can just write how many electrons in each energy level.  We'll go over it in class if it is too confusing.



Last but not least read another 30+ pages of Uncle Tungsten.   AND...keep memorizing the Song:

Why do chemists make such bad puns? ...

Because all the good ones Argon.

The following homework is due MONDAY, October 7th:

I'm going with this song, even though Daniel Radcliffe's is cooler, and even though y'all voted for that one.  This one's in order and has the symbols and a picture clue as to where you might find the elements in nature or technology.  So start memorizing; I am taking up the challenge of a video response (on your behalf) Seriously... video taping in 2 weeks.

Ten Tough Guys -Learn this list of elements and their names.

Element Symbols
Sb Cu Au Fe Pb Hg K Ag Sn W	Antimony  Copper  Gold  Iron  Lead  Mercury Potassium  Silver  Tin  Tungsten	Sb- From the Greek words 'anti' and 'monos' meaning "opposed to solitude". Cu - From the Latin word 'cyprium', after the island of Cyprus. Au - From the Latin word 'aurum' meaning gold. Fe - From the Latin word 'ferrum'  meaning iron. Pb - From the Latin word 'plumbum' meaning lead .Hg  - From the Greek word 'hydrargyros' meaning 'water' and 'silver'. K - From the Medieval Latin word 'kalium'  meaning potash (pot ashes). Ag - From the Latin word 'argentum' meaning silver. Sn - From the Latin word 'stannum' meaning tin W - From the German word 'Wolfram'. Ancient alchemists called the metal "spuma lupi," the Latin words for  'wolf foam' which was translated to the word "wolframite" in allusion to the objectionable scum or substance formed during the smelting of tin ores containing tungsten.

Reading the Textbook: Chapter 3.4-3.7 + section questions.

As well as the textbook:

Documentary: The Story of Science (55 minutes)

Q: What did the bartender say when oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, sodium, and phosphorous walked into his bar? 
A: OH SNaP!

Lastly, try to fit in some reading, Uncle Tungsten; sorry that I have not been assigning pages.  My family has had a pretty full month, some of you the same, and I have not wanted to overburden you in these first weeks of school.  It is a bit off the mainstream to assign a reading book for science, but I think there is great value in an integrated approach.  I hope you read at least one "science" book each year for the rest of your life.  A science book that is not a textbook! Just for the pleasure of it.

Models, Measures & Maths

I'm hoping that through this lab you see the helpfulness of modelling, and the importance of measuring and mathematics. 

Finish the Nuts & Bolts lab worksheet from class.  You should have enough information from your measurements. You may have to redo the math.  

What you should take away from the worksheet is this:

-how does this activity model the following concepts?  

How do the nuts and bolts model isotopes? 

How do the methods of weighing and averaging the masses of the nuts and bolts model what chemists have to do with a lump of matter to find the atomic weight?

The Law of Definite Composition - what does that even mean?

The Law of Multiple Proportions - do explain... or try, anyway.

This might help:

For review on the Atom:  basic-atomic-structure

and

isotopes-and-elements  

worksheet: worksheets/Chemistry/4-3AbundanceIsotopes.pdf  Read the worksheet to understand the lab, and do a couple of the problems, or all for extra credit.

Names & Symbols, ka-ching!

Finish the SigFig worksheet from class.  For extra tutorial help, here:  http://socratic.org/chemistry/measurement-in-chemistry/significant-figures
If you understand it from the worksheet instructions, don't bother with the videos, they are probably too long, or just skip around.  It's pretty good practice.:
Answers can be checked here: http://misterguch.brinkster.net/24.pdf  (24 Lessons that Rocked the World) page 36
Read your textbook, 3.1-3.3 (only about 6 pages)

Which song do you like better, The Classic...done by Harry Potter...

 or the The NEW Elements Song!

PLEASE VOTE NOW BY LEAVING A COMMENT!!!!!

Which Ones to Remember???

Table 3.3 in your textbook (page 51) has a list of the names and symbols of the most common elements. Start memorizing these by making flash cards, or find an app. or quizlet... http://quizlet.com/24197438/flashcards

Thank you, friends, for help with class yesterday.

Review Chapter 2 by skimming through the chapter, reading the pictures, making sure you understand all the vocabulary, getting the main ideas from the summary points at the end of the chapter and briefly answering questions 1-19

Then get an overview of  atoms & molecules with rock star physicist Brian Cox who has such a cool accent.

Due Monday, Sept 23rd

Safety Video (36 minutes) It's the wedding this weekend, so that's all, except review the chapter 2 summary before class. Avery and Nathan, will you be able to do the demos that I emailed you about?
