Happy New Year!!!!
Welcome Back to School.  We will be studying nomenclature this week as schedules change.
Hopefully you know enough about bonding that this seems easy. If not everything you need to know will be covered in class. There are excellent practice activities at sciencegeek.net  and lots of other websites.  There are some quizzes coming up on edmodo so we need to be signing up there.  Look for codes on the board during class. I hope edmodo will be a fun addition.

THURSDAY is the polyatomic ions quiz! Please study at quizlet. Or make flashcards from your list you received in class. Here's a link to an ugly google docs version of the list (charges are not superscripts).

Do HW; Win Candy

It is time for that favorite fall Halloween tradition.  Monday will be a homework assignment. If in spite of Halloween you complete your HW you will be entered to win the Halloween candy lottery. I will draw a few popsicle sticks in each class and IF you've done your homework you get the pumpkins or snickers or skittles you so desire.

Here is the homework if you want to get started. DO HOMEWORK and WIN CANDY.

Electrons in Atoms

These are the terms for this first part "Electrons in Atoms."  Terms will be on Wednesday's (11/2) quiz. This unit isn't hard if you study bit by bit. It's not a unit you can catch up on the night before. After you've read the flashcards; try a game. How about a round of Space Race?
