Thurs-Day 2
AP Chem- we looked at several examples of molecules, drawing the Lewis structure of each and determining the central atom hybridization, determining the electronic and molecular geometries, the bond dipoles, the overall symmetry or asymmetry of the charge distribution, the polarity of each; finally, from this information, we inferred the type of IMFA for each molecule from which we can make predictions or explain the physical properties of each substance.
We will do some more examples and then discuss the various types of bonding found in solids to finish our unit tomorrow.
Tuesday, we start the final half of the course with a primarily mathematical topic that will be mostly brand new to you:
KINETICS!
Our Raoult's Law, etc. and IMFA unit exam will be given next Wednesday; I'll stay after school tomorrow to give a proctored practice test. If you cannot stay for that, you are better off doing the practice files and worksheets that are on Blackboard (because they have an ANSWER key), though you can still have a copy of the practice test, which you should take strictly timed.
Bio 6- took the unit exam on the digestive and endocrine systems.
Bio 7/8 - took the unit exam on the digestive and endocrine systems and then discussed and handed in our latest lab on intracellular digestion in the Paramecium.
