In today's class, we finished our discussion on valence electrons, including what they are and why they are important in bonding and chemistry. We also began discussing atomic and ionic radii, including what they are, how they function and why they are important.

During today's class, we explained what isotopes are, we defined atomic number and mass number and described how to apply them to isotopes.

In today's class, Andrew learned all about valence electrons, including what they are, how they function, and why they are important in chemistry. Andrew did very well with this new information and was able to ask questions when he was unsure of something.

Bobby was absent today.

Same as previous outline

discuss the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction.
Graph the effect.
Outline the effect a catalyst has on the reaction rate.
Graph the effect on both an exothermic and endothermic reaction

During today's classes, we summarized the observed properties of cathode rays that led to the discovery of the electron. We also summarized the experiment carried out by Rutherford and his co-workers that led to the discovery of the nucleus. We listed the properties of protons, neutrons, and electrons and finally we defined the atom.

In today's class, Andrew finished his in-class activity covering everything we learned over the past few days, including Avogadro’s number, the mole, and electron configuration. Andrew was able to ask questions when he was confused and did very well answering the questions I had for him.

Define and use examples to illustrate a single replacement reaction.
Explain why zinc will replace more silver than copper in a reaction, leading to a different reaction rate.
Examine the activity of metals chart relating to increased activity.
Discuss the effect of concentration of reactants on reaction rate.
Discuss and use examples to explain the effect of increased surface area of reactants on the rate of a reaction

In today's class, Andrew worked on an in-class homework activity covering everything we've learned over the last few days, including avogadro's number, the mole, and electron configuration. Andrew was able to ask questions when he was confused and did very well answering the questions I had for him.
