Start the following in class:

Study for the summative assessment on chapter 5 that is to be given on your next school day that our class meets.  Today is day 45.  Study for your test which is scheduled for school day 46!  If your class does not meet on day 46, today’s home learning activities are listed under day 46 and on day 46 your home learning activities are those listed below.

1. Make sure that you use the periodic table distributed to you in class to write the ground state electron configurations for atoms and ions of elements with atomic numbers 1 through 23.  See the ActivInspire flipchart for Chapter 5, pp 107 to 129 for assistance.  Completely fill out the prepared electron configuration worksheet correctly and later use just the periodic table to repeat this performance as a formative assessment.  Review and correct any errors using green pen ink.  Place both filled in electron configuration worksheets into your 3 ring binder and bring them to class. 

2. The concepts involved in the following exercises should be mastered if you choose to do your very best on the chapter 5 assessment.

a. On page 9 of the Electrons in Atoms  document, finish writing the electron configurations for the ground states of single neutral atoms of elements up to atomic number 23, Vanadium. Check your electron configurations with those shown on p.116 of QuantumMechanicalTheory_v6 flipchart.  Then practice writing the electron configurations for the ground states of the first 23 elements on page 10 of the Electrons in Atoms  document.  Again, check what you have written against electron configurations shown on p.116 of QuantumMechanicalTheory_v6 flipchart.

b. Do problem I5-7 abcde on page 132 of your chemistry text.  Then check your responses in green ink with the answers given on page 12 of the Electrons in Atoms  document.

c. Reflect on, and make sure you understand the information given on the bottom of page 12 of the Electrons in Atoms  document concerning:

      1. numbers of orbitals,
      2. numbers of energy levels,
      3. numbers of sublevels,
      4. numbers of orbitals, and
      5. total possible number of electrons that could completely fill an energy level having principal quantum number n.

Recommended for those who have time left in their 45 minute study period, but not required of all:

1.  As part of your review for your chapter 5 assessment, read over the learning  objectives written for chapter 5 and study with the aim of being able to demonstrate your understanding and ability to apply the learnings.  Open the Unit Learning Objectives for Cornell Notes document, Press and hold the CTRL key while typing F to bring up a search (find) box.  Type in Chapter 5 in the search box and then move your cursor into the text area to the right and click there to see the first page of objectives.  Study and take study notes as seems appropriate especially on objectives 35 through 42 of chapter 5.

2. Check out the student made Quizlet for chapter 5 at https://quizlet.com/166021551/honors-chem-ch-5-flash-cards/.  Do all the definitions reflect a thorough and correct understanding?
