All AP students: the set of questions on periodicity, from which your test questions will be drawn is here.
AP1: introduction to the midterm project. Information on the project is available through yesterday’s post. We also finished periodicity and began bonding (definitions, combining orbitals and a graph of PE versus bond distance)
AP3: lots of Lewis Dot Structures including multiple bonds, ions, octet rule violation and Lewis’ rules.

AP3 and AP4: Introduction to the Mid-Term Project. The information sheet is posted here.
AP3: bonding – simple definitions, merging orbitals, PE graph and some Lewis Dot Structures
AP4: Finished periodicity (EA bumps) and bonding – simple definitions, merging orbitals, PE graph and beginning of Lewis Dot Structures.
H8: More Lewis Dot Structures (including atoms, ions, simple molecules, a few more complex molecules and simple octet rule violators)

Monday, November 2nd
AP3: finished periodic trends.
AP3 and AP4: almost finished periodic trends – about 5-10 minutes left for Wednesday.
All AP classes. Questions for the periodic properties portion of the next test will be posted after Wednesday’s class.
H8: Passed out questions for Friday’s quiz on periodic properties. Began bonding – discussed ionic bonding, covalent bonding and began Lewis Dot Structures (atoms, monatomic ions, and simple molecules)

AP4 and AP1: regions of the periodic table, periodic properties, what matters (and doesn’t across), what matters down.
H8: finished periodic properties: trends for EN, IE, AtR, IR and the bumps

AP students: I have posted a sample lab write up for the Beer’s law lab so that you can see what i expected. It can be found here.
Friday, October 23rd
AP 1: double salt lab. review Monday, test Tuesday
AP3: review, skip Monday, test Tuesday
All Classes: I will be out on Tuesday (writing college rec letters) but will be in the building before school (approx 6:30-7:30) to answer questions.
