Types of Bonds

Hey Gang,

This video will help with the types of bonds we discussed today.  (Your book doesn’t cover Metallic Bonds, but you might find it interesting.)

Your homework is updated. Remember I’m changing the lab for next week… We will ONLY do 9.1 and finish the Molecular Geometry lab. Also, no test until next week. Email with any questions!  JB

PS- we will be having a quiz Jan 23 on the geometrical shape names and angles from Module 9.  You might start looking at those now.  We will make a table next week in class.

Spring Semester begins this week!

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Hope you’ve had a fun and restful break.  Classes will begin at The Bridge this week.  Chemistry will meet Thursday, Jan. 9.  Remember that there IS homework due that day, as well as a quiz on the Polyatomic Ions.  Here are some online flashcards for practice.  I know you will do well!

Can’t wait to see you Thursday!  (Only 15 classes to go- wow!)

Last class…

Believe it or not, December 5 is the last class of the semester.  Here are a few reminders:

  • You may bring a snack to share while we build with the Geometrical Molecular Models.  If you list the  chemical formulas for 3 ingredients on an index card, you will receive bonus points.
  • New homework is posted.  Here are the Module 8 flashcards.
  • Enjoy the break!

Flame Test Lab

Hi Students,
Just to be sure everyone understands… You will need to write a normal prelab report with all the prelab sections into your lab notebook for the Flame Test Lab on Thursday. Please be sure to do this as you won’t be able to participate otherwise :).

Email me with questions!
