Be sure to ask Ms. A for your "REMIND" class code so you can receive text messages with important information and updates!
Calendar: Check the calendar on this page for important due dates such as test days and when to submit projects. Some classroom documents will also be posted for your convenience.
Absentee Policy: Students who are absent on the day an assignment is established are provided with extra time to complete that assignment. The absentee policy for students who are out of school on the day an assignment is due should see Ms. A for instructions.
Extra Help: Ms. A is available after school most Tuesdays through Fridays. (Note: Some of those days will be club/organization meetings.)

Quantum Mechanics and Electron Behavior Unit
|
|
To support your understanding of the Electron Configuration and Quantum Mechanics unit, try these helpful links. Skip through the parts you know or re-watch multiple times when needed. Feel welcome to find other sites you find are helpful and share them with me or your peers.
#1: Most recent lesson (and final lesson of the unit - Aufbau Principal, Pauli Exclusion Principal, Hund's Rule): Chemistry: How to Write Electron Configuration - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTI-ZkrVvE4
You may stop at 3:30 because you will not be responsible for knowing exceptions to the rules :-)
If you'd like a recap of the entire unit, start with this video, then move to the previous vid clip.
#2: Orbital – basics – atomic orbital tutorial – probability, shapes, and energy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewf7RlVNBSA
Watch up to 13:45 to re-cap orbital shapes, sizes, energies, and how the electrons will fill these 'clouds' of space!

Ionic Formulas and Nomenclature
To support your understanding of our current unit - writing formulas for ionic compounds, consider watching these video clips. There are several excellent on-line video tutorials, so feel welcome to search and find those that you feel speak particularly to you. Watch them with a paper, pencil, and your PT in case you decide to take notes. As with all tutorials, you will already know some of what is explained, so feel welcome to fast forward (or slow down) as suits your preference.
Try this link first. The lesson is called: Writing Ionic Formulas: Introduction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URc75hoKGLY
It is a very clearly instructed lesson.

PBS Learning Media - Chemical Bonding (Do this one first. Check out the simulations of the three types of bonds. Complete the Chemical Bonding Question: http://nj.pbslearningmedia.org/asset/lsps07_int_chembonds/
PBS Learning Media - Ionic Bonding Complete this one second. Follow the slides step by step. Because you are interacting with the atoms, you must complete a task before advancing some slides. The little number tag #/27 let's you keep track of where you are in the tutorial. Easy! http://vitalnj.pbslearningmedia.org/asset/lsps07_int_ionicbonding/
