Ice Day!

To start off class today, Mrs. Friedmann checked in our homework and we went over the homework.( keys are posted). In addition Mrs. Friedmann gave us an OPTIONAL worksheet that will help you with the ice problems. The sheet only functions as extra practice and will not be checked in, but it is recommended you do them to prepare for the test.

Ice, Ice, Baby!
- For the rest of the class Mrs. Friedmann introduced to us the last topic of this section which is: how to solve ice problems. I will not go in depth with the explanations since there is a video posted that goes over a good explanation on how to do the ice problems and there are notes as well. All can be found on the moodle page.

- In addition Mrs. Friedmann has posted the answer key to the review packet and a video that goes with it. It is recommended that you use these tools to study for the test tomorrow.

HOMEWORK:
- STUDY for test tomorrow!!--- good luck

This is what will happen to our brains after the test tomorrow!!!

Covalent Bonds and Lewis Structures

To start off...
Yesterday, the class did not have enough time to completely go over covalent bonding, so we finished the notes today (posted in the unit 7 notes folder). In addition we redid yesterdays homework about Lewis Structures in class, to serve as a good review about Lewis Structures. Finally Mrs. Friedmann began the worksheets "What is a Bond?" which we are suppose to complete for homework.

Notes Review...
- Here is a good review about Lewis Structures from one of the Crash Courses Videos...

Here are the exceptions to the octet rule discussed today...

- Hydrogen needs 2 electrons not 8

- Boron needs 6 electrons not 8

- Everything including the third period and down the periodic table can hold more than 8 electrons if it has to.

Homework..

1) Finish the "What is a Bond?" pair of worksheets we began in class today.  Due tomorrow.

2) WebAssign 7.1a-Covalent Bonding and LED -- due tonight by 11:59 pm.

3) Watch the two videos posted in the Unit 7 box:  "Covalent Bonding" and "Bonding Models and Lewis Structures".  Take notes on both videos in your journals, to be checked in tomorrow.

4) Quiz tomorrow on bonding and Lewis Structures!
