LARN 047 C12D3
Congratulations to all who are still doing their best to implement the daily 45 minute study plan in Honors Chemistry! Creating a new habit usually takes two or more weeks of consistent effort. You can be very proud of yourself!
Start the following in class:
1. Write your journal entry on sheets of three holed 8.5 inch by 11 inch ruled paper. In the upper right corner white space of each upward facing page, write your hand in number within a circle followed by your name. In the upper right corner white space of each upward facing page, write your hand in number within a circle followed by your name. Each journal entry should either be at least a paragraph of exemplary writing and penmanship concerning a single topic, or be a concept map relating chemistry terms. Begin each days paragraph with a topic sentence, follow with explained instances, and close with a focused summary statement. The required journal focus question J47 for today is
a. Write both the electronic configurations for at least three metals that are in the same group and the electron dot structures for those same three metals.
b. Write both the electronic configurations for at least three nonmetals that are in the same group and the electron dot structures for those same three nonmetals.
c. Then use your examples to explain the statement that Every group or family of elements on the periodic table shares a similar electronic configuration and a similar electron dot structure.
Note: Please label your responses to the questions correctly (a., b., and c. in the above example) and phrase your response to include enough information so that people reading your response can understand the question being answered. That way you can save time by not writing out the questions being asked.
2. Go to the web site at http://www.visionlearning.com/reg/login.php, log on into the course+section for which you are registered, and select the module entitled The Periodic Table of Elements. Read this module as if you were creating an SQ5R or PQ5R study guide for it, but are title it: In Class: The Periodic Table of Elements. Click on the Notes menu item next to the The Periodic Table of Elements menu item and read and follow the full instructions for what you need to do. When you are finished, click on the Questions Quizzes tab at the top of the module and then click on the The Periodic Table of Elements title, select the best choice response to all the quiz questions and then click on the Score Quiz button. Then examine the feedback on your quiz and reread and study the material pertaining to any items identified as incorrect. Reflect on your responses and retake the quiz as many times as you need for you to fully understand and from that understanding, score 100% on the quiz.
3. Writing in blue or black ink, place your hand in number in a circle followed by your name in the upper right white space of a piece of three holed composition paper that hasn’t been written on.Place the page reference for the problems to be considered to the left of the red marginal line on the first blue line. Centered on the first blue line,write a descriptive title for the learning activity such as Section [chapter # section#] Responses. Before you write your response to each question or problem listed below, write its designation to the left of the red marginal line as listed below, followed by your response in ink to the right of the marginal line..
- In the Section Assessment 6.2 on page 167, read, analyze, and show your work for practice problems I6-11 (In chapter 6, problem 11), I6-12, I6-13, I6-14, and I6-15.
- After you are finished, check page R86 of the text and check each of those problems that you can by writing in either a check mark (√) or a correction in green ink as we do in class. Some questions do not have a suggested response given. For each such question, circle the number of the question in the margin of your notebook paper and check your response when you come to class.
Recommended for those who have time left in their 45 minute study period, but not required of all:
1. An electron dot structure for an atom is a representation of the valence electrons possessed by that type of atom conventionally arranged around the atomic symbol for the element represented with a dot shown above, to the right, below, or to the left of the atom, one dot for each valence electron in a valence orbital and two dots placed near each other to represent a pair of electrons of opposite spin in an atomic orbital. With that understanding, do the front side and top of the backside of the worksheet entitled Electron Dot Structures of Some Main Group Elements. Check your work by reading pages 187-188 in the text and examining Table 7.1.4.
