As advertised during lecture Monday, April 21 and Wednesday, April 23, The ChemSkill Builder Exercises due 24-Apr are now due 22-May.

April 17, 2003

To better support lecture material, I have decided to change the order of the laboratory exercises for weeks 4 and 5: 

Week 4             Molecular Models

Week 5             LEDs AND Polymers

This summarizes as a swap of the LEDs and Molecular Models labs.

Molecular Models Lab Data Sheet:

1. Model number: 
2. Name the molecular compound or and polyatomic ion: 
3. Chemical formula of the molecular compounds or polyatomic ion: 
4. Molecular and electronic geometries of the molecular compound or polyatomic ion: 
5. Sketch of the molecular compound or polyatomic ion: 
6. Identify functional groups present in molecular compounds if any: 
7. Identify the species as polar or non-polar and identify the direction of the dipole if polar on your sketch:

Hexane:

 

Water:

Midterm Exam Rooms:
Last name begins A-K in Gilbert 124

Monday Review (During class on Monday, April 7, this slide will be displayed in lecture for a review discussion).

April 1, 2003

Here's a useful table for ChemSkill Builder or general use! This is a compilation of the electron configurations of the elements up through number 104, broken into three pages (the table was too large for anything less). To arrive at the electron configurations of atoms, you must know the order in which the different sublevels are filled. Electrons enter available sublevels in order of their increasing energy. A sublevel is filled or half-filled before the next sublevel is entered. For example, the s sublevel can only hold two electrons, so the 1s is filled at helium (1s2). The p sublevel can hold six electrons, the d sublevel can hold 10 electrons, and the f sublevel can hold 14 electrons. Common shorthand notation is to refer to the noble gas core, rather than write out the entire configuration. For example, the configuration of magnesium could be written [Ne]3s2, rather than writing out 1s22s22p63s2.
