POWER POINT NOTES: "THE ELEMENTAL PATTERN" and "THE COSMIC FINGERPRINT"

Students:  Here are the TWO sections of Power Point Notes for Unit 3, 'The Cosmic Fingerprint'.

First, we have 'The Elemental Pattern', that shows how the periodic table contains deep information about the structure of the different elements:



Next, we have 'The Cosmic Fingerprint', that shows that the arrangement of electrons in the shells of atoms is related to an element's 'signature' of energy levels, which in turn can be used to explain the chemical properties of that element:


The Unit 3 Test is November 8th!

You should be using these slides to complete your Unit 3 Study Guides of the same title.   

Those Study Guides should be handed in before the beginning of Tuesday's class in order to ensure that you have plenty of time to create your personalized, detailed copy of the notes in your Composition Book.



VIDEO: THE MOLE

Students:  here is Paul Anderson's video, as shown in Monday's class, explaining the concept of the mole with helpful illustrations:




Student should use this video to complete a worksheet given in class, which is also available online HERE.

POWER POINT NOTES: The Elemental Pattern

STUDENTS: This Power Point supports the notes on the periodic table, focusing especially on periodic trends related to the electron configuration of the different elements.  



Use this information to complete your Study Guide, which will form PART of the basis of your Unit 3 Notes.  (There will be a SECOND Study Guide in this Unit).
