So sick...see you tomorrow hopefully. Read and follow instructions. In larger classes, you may have to "double up" on computers. Everyone keeps a paper.

1) Get a sheet of lined notebook paper to keep answers/notes on. 2) Make sure you've completed all the previously assigned vocab. 12 terms you can find below from other dates. Add these **__new words__** we will be working with this week.
 * Lewis structure
 * electrolyte
 * intermolecule forces
 * salt
 * formula mass
 * molecular formula
 * percentage composition
 * empirical formula

Number them #13-20 Use the textbook link. You can use chapter 7 or the glossary.

3) Search on the internet for the rules on **__how to name ionic compounds containing transition metals__**. Make general notes. Show at least two different examples with formula and name.

4) There is also a special rule for writing a **__formula with more than one polyatomic ion__**. Search for this as well. Make general notes. Show at least two different examples with formula and name.

5) Make a **T-chart** with the headings **__IONIC__** and **__COVALENT__**. Search for characteristics of these bond types. Copy the following info. to get you started.

__IONIC................................................................................................................................COVALENT__ bond created by attraction between oppositely charged ions bond created by sharing electrons

You can find this info. You just have to keep looking.
 * Add a minimum of 6 additional characteristics** for each column.
 * Add a minimum of 3 examples** of the types of substances (like salts, sugars, etc.)

I forgot I was in the school training session today during our period. You need to make sure you have completed ALL of the computer work from Tue and Wed as described below. Now, get busy and have a good weekend! See you Monday.


 * 1) 1 You should have 12 vocab words total. Some of you did one set and not the other. Please make sure - there are words under Tue and other words under Wed.


 * 1) 2 I should also have a paper of your answers to the other questions - 4) from Wed and 3) from Tuesday. All of this is graded work, and can only help your grade!


 * 1) 3 new today - If you are absolutely positive you have finished everything from Tue and Wed., give any of those papers to the substitute please. Then....begin to think about a product (like those from yesterday) that you absolutely couldn't live without. Search on the net for the compounds in that substance. Make a list of 3-6 such compounds. One of these will be the compound you be starting to research on Tue. You may start to find info now if you have time....chemical name, common name, molecular mass, color, melting point, boiling pt, density, chemical formula, how it is made/synthesized.... There is more I will give you a complete list on Tuesday.

Wednesday, Dec. 8th
(day 2 of my kids being sick...not fun. sorry)

1) Use the textbook link to add the additional vocab. words to yesterday's list below. It may be easiest to use the glossary. You should see this as an option after all the chapters listed on the textbook page.
 * ionic compound
 * covalent (or molecular) compound
 * polyatomic ion
 * cation
 * anion

2) To begin to name compounds, you must be able to identify elements as metals or nonmetals. You must be able to do this quickly, without hesitation. To your vocab. paper, add a note about how this is done. By looking at a periodic table (like the one on the wall), how do you know whether an element is a metal or nonmetal?

3) I have all work that I have received graded. Please check the following list for work you may still have. Complete it and give it to the substitute please.


 * mole math (the first one with a pic of a mole on it)
 * mole math #2
 * nanotechnology reading chart
 * conservation of mass lab
 * mole lab (one where you did several fencepost conversions)
 * last week's bellringer answers (wed, thurs, fri)

4) Either add to your vocab paper OR start another sheet of paper please. See you tomorrow....hopefully :)
 * Google dihydrogen monoxide. Write a minimum of 5 lines about what you find on different sites. Describe. Why is this a good example of the necessity of learning how to name compounds.
 * Search for "interactive" sites on naming chemical compounds. Make a list of at least two such sites. Describe why these sites would be beneficial for helping us learn how to name compounds.
 * Do the same for sites on writing formulas for chemical compounds. Make a list of two and describe.
 * Give your paper to the substitute.

Tuesday, Dec. 7th
1) Please complete the atomic theory crossword. It's a good review of info. you all have to retain!

2) Use the textbook link below to view Chapter 7. On a sheet of paper, define the following terms:
 * monatomic ion
 * binary compounds
 * nomenclature
 * oxyanions
 * binary acid
 * oxyacid
 * oxidation number

3) If you still have time, search the internet for interactive websites on naming chemical compounds. Make a list of 3 such sites with the URL and a brief description of why the site is a good one.

Thanks - See you tomorrow!
