THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE

Wow, this chapter is hard! Between that and losing students for sporting events, we have to move the test to THURSDAY OCTOBER 27TH.

So here's our week:
MONDAY-- wavelength/frequency problems: Gizmo on electron shells and how they fill
HW: worksheet on ch 4 sx 2 (if not done already), wavelength/frequency problems
TUESDAY-- more of the electron shell Gizmo
HW: electron shell problems
WEDNESDAY: Review ch 4
THURSDAY: TEST CHAPTER 4
FRIDAY: start chapter 5-- the periodic table

The test will cover chapter 4 sections 1, 2, and 3. Particularly you'll need to know:
* the Bohr model of the Hydrogen Atom
* how and why atome emit photons of light
* the dual wave/particle theory of proton behavior, and what this has to do with photon emission and the various electron shells
* how to convert wavelength into frequency and vice-versa (we'll work problems on this Monday or Tuesday).
* the basic types and shapes of electron orbitals
* Quantum numbers of the atom-- including energy level, angular, spin, and magnetic numbers
* how electrons fill the electron shells-- in what order, how many per subshell, how many orbitals per shell, etc...
* proper electron shell notation, including Noble Gas Notation.

I will be at tutorial on TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY MORNINGS starting at about 7:50. If you've missed class recently because of sports, you'll NEED to come to one with your QUESTIONS READY!

--And now, some links for you!

1. Guess what? YOU CAN PLAY WITH THESE GIZMOS AT HOME!
Just go to:
http://www.explorelearning.com

Then look to the upper right corner and click on "enroll in a class".
You'll have to sign up for a (free!) account with explorelearning.
When it asks you the class code, enter R8DRANFAXP

2. Here's a power point on how to work the wavelength and frequency problems:
