LARN 035 C9D3

LARN 035 C9D3 Start the following in class: 1. The required journal focus question J35 for today is a. How are the isotopes of sulfur alike?  b. How are they different? [Hint: First determine which isotopes of sulfur exist naturally in the sulfur deposit found on earth whose isotopic abundances are reported in Table 4.3 on page 112 of your text.] 2. Doing ChemThink interactives are part of the core experiences for all chemistry students. The ChemThink applications that are not on the ChemThink log on site are applications written in the now deprecated Flash programming language.  Flash is no longer supported by the Firefox browser, nor the Chrome browser, nor the Opera browser any longer.   Instead use either an Edge, Internet Explorer, or Safari browser on a laptop or desktop computer to access the mrchemistry.org web site and then click on the link below to take you to the simbucket.com web site.  If the computer asks you whether to allow Flash to run,...

LARN 033 C9D1

LARN 033 C9D1 Start the following in class: 1. The required journal focus question J33 for today is: What are the differences in the meanings of the terms a. atomic mass unit, u, b. isotopic mass, c. mass number of an isotope d. atomic mass of an element? 2.a.  Go to https://socratic.org/chemistry to research the topics brought up in section 4.3 of your text, OR use the PQ5R or SQ5R method to prepare a study guide for text section 4.3 on Distinguishing Among Atoms.  Read section 4.3 in your chemistry text, pages 110 through 119, and as you do, create a study guide using the SQ5R or PQ5R method explained in class and on the distributed handout packet.  You may record vocabulary entries in the body of your study guide, or you may check them off on the chapter 4 vocabulary list as you think about the meanings of the terms and add any notations to the vocabulary list for clarifications sake. 2.b. If necessary, review the instructions for doing in-chapter...
