Kind of a fun lecture today looking into just how strange and bizarre the atom really is. I hope I blew your minds a little bit. : )
Homework for this week should also be fun. Take a look at this website http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/build-an-atom. Click on "download" to get the simulation. Once it's all set, feel free to play with it a bit. When you're ready, click on the "Games" tab in the upper left side. Feel free to do all 4 levels but at least do levels 3 and 4. Something a little tricky here is that, when they show the element symbol, the atomic number is in the lower left side and the atomic weight is in the upper left. The ionic charge is in the upper right side. Keep trying until you get at least 4 out of 5 correct. There's really nothing to turn in so you're on your honor to give it a shot. Good Luck!
