Summary January 22

Today in class, we checked in our homework and picked up 3 worksheets (You can most likely find these online.)  We also received a yellow slip that was to decide what class (physics or honors physics) that you want to take next year.  There are also other electives that you might be interested in taking instead.  These include forensics, horticulture, astronomy, brain studies, AP chem, AP bio, AP physics, honors engineering physics, or med tech.

Next, we went over last night's homework.

Just to review, Ionic compounds are formed when atoms transfer electrons to each other (metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain them) in order to achieve a stable valence (usually 8, a perfect octet).  As a result, the atoms become ions.  The attraction between positive ions and negative ones forms the ionic bond.

Then, we started to talk about covalent bonding in class today.  The notes will be posted in the Unit 7 notes folder.

The homework for tonight was the 'Practice Building Lewis Structures' worksheet that we picked up.  Also, we have our first webassign of second semester!! This will be due tomorrow night and you have two attempts to get the best score you can!

The next blogger will be......... Ambreen A!!
