Hi folks,
Today we basically took the time to summarize what we've been working on the past 3 weeks. The periodic table, electrons, diagraming atoms, electron configurations and creating molecules. The information from the past 3 weeks is absolutely vital to the rest of the year as it will continue to be built on as we move forward. Please make sure you feel comfortable with this information.
Homework this week is to complete the enclosed .pdf. It's a (hopefully) fun activity that will give you a deeper understanding of the periodic table and its structure. Below are a few hints to help you out. (Stuff we haven't covered in class yet.)
Hints:
In #5 it talks about the most metallic element. The elements to the bottom left of the periodic table are the most metallic. For example, for us, Francium is the most metallic metal. The closer an atom is to the bottom left the more metallic it will be.
Chemically active non-metals are to the upper left of the periodic table. So for us fluorine is the most active non- metal. The closer an atom is to the top right the more active it will be. Active means eager to bond with other metals.
10. An atom is diatomic if it pairs of atoms form a stable molecule. For example, O2 is a stable gas. H2 is a stable gas.
Good Luck!!!
