Periodicity Test and Adoptions
The site we visited in class on Tuesday for the daily assignment to familiarize ourselves with the periodic table is http://hs-staffserver.stjames.k12.mn.us/~fraken/Physical%20Science/Castle%20Mendeleev/castlemendeleev.html
A chance to look at ionization energy is found at http://www.saskschools.ca/curr_content/chem20/trends/ionzenas.html
A quiz to test your periodicity knowledge is found at http://www.quia.com/rr/297517.html
Your test on periodicity is Wednesday, September 17. Be sure that you can evaluate all of the trends about which we spoke in class (ionization energy, electronegativity, atomic radius, ionic radius). Know your periodic table well : )
All honors chemistry students are "adopting" elements. This project, which will count toward the test average, will be collected on Monday, September 15. Students should prepare an advertisement for their assigned element and complete the fact sheet, according to the rubric. Do consult websites such as http://www.webelements.com or http://chemicool.com. Students should research to determine which isotope is most abundant and use that isotope to determine information. Please be sure to read the handout to ensure that you follow the correct format.
