LAST WEEK OF THE TRIMESTER!

We're in the home stretch... aren't you all excited?!?

I want to thank all of you for your patience with me while I was sick last week. I'm feeling much better and appreciate all your well-wishes!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Apparently I put faulty directions on your Periodic Table quiz! Were you all confused? On MONDAY I will GIVE YOU BACK YOUR QUIZZES with new directions: to just give me the abbreviation of each of the elements at the bottom of the quiz. I have not graded them because I want to give you all another chance to answer the bottom part of the quiz.

ANOTHER BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: This week, I will not take up any homework. The only paper you'll have to turn in is our lab. I'll assign it as a way to study for this week's test-- not as an item to be graded. HOORAY!

THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE: ****LAB MOVED TO WEDNESDAY BECAUSE OF LAB SPACE CONFLICT***

MONDAY 15 more minutes of quiz time; discuss chapter 5 section 3. Key words: ATOMIC RADIUS, VALENCE ELECTRONS, IONIZATION ENERGY, ELECTRONEGATIVITY.
HOMEWORK: read the lab for tomorrow!
TUESDAY give back/go over tests, homework, etc...
WEDNESDAY LAB: halide salts
THURSDAY review chapter 5 HOMEWORK: turn in Halide Salts Lab.
FRIDAY test on chapter 5

Friday's test will ask a lot about the groups of the periodic table and the reactivity of different electron configurations.

See you Monday!
