Announcements : No Announcements Today.

Homework: None. You should have pages 1-8 already completed.

Today In Class : We did not do much in class. To start of class we grabbed pages 9-35 and taped them in our journals. The pages went about two pages per paper. Before taking the first quiz out of 7, we reviewed a little bit. we talked about how to convert grams molecules atoms and moles. We then took the quiz.

There is a total of 7 quizzes. each worth 7 points. 49 points possible. if you get 7 perfect scores you will receive extra credit. also if you receive 5 perfect you will get extra credit but a little less. same goes for 6 perfect scores. You will need to get at least one perfect score to take the end test.

To end class we had a power point on stoich. for the power point we worked on page 10.

THURSDAY

Announcements: total review. don't forget you can drop your lowest quiz that we take.

Homework: none!!

Class: On Thursday we had a total review day. we reviewed all lewis structures, also went over homework pages 11,12,13. Then we took a quiz. after the quiz, we finished all the pages in our notebook.(up to 15) we worked on the pages all through class. most people had 10 minutes to spare at the end.

FRIDAY

Announcements:You can drop one quiz.

Homework: Finish chem think(if not finished in class) and finish the 2 practice pages.

Class: In class on Friday we went to the computer lab to work on chem thinks. The name of the chem think is "Molecular Shapes". This can be found under Covalent Bonding. It started of by explaining what VSEPR stands for. VSEPR stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion. When you get atoms in a molecule, the bonds in the electrons repel each other. when more are added the atoms repel so they can get the furthest away from the other atoms.

While working on this chem think we had to answer a work sheet. A covalent bond is electrons being shared by two atoms. Electrons are found in the middle of the two atoms when in a covalent bond. When two atoms are bonded to a central atom the angle between them is a 180 degrees. when there are 3 is is 120 degrees. for four atoms bonded to a central atom it is 109.5 degrees.

While working with molecular shapes there are (as you can tell in the title) many different shapes. when there is just two to a bond the shape is linear. when it is in two dimensional with three atoms it is called trigonal planar. If their is a lone pair of electrons, it doesn't affect the atom but it does make the atom bent. the shape is called bent. when their is three atoms and it is three dimensional the shape is called a tetrahedral. again with lone electrons and three atoms the shape is called a trigonal pyramid.

after we finished the tutorial we moved on to the question set where you have to answer ten correct with getting 2 or less wrong. if you get three wrong you have to start over again.

Next scriber will be...... YASSINE!! (you know why)
