Outline why certain nuclei are stable. Define and discuss radioactivity as the decay of unstable nuclei. Introduce natural and induced radioactivity. List and discuss alpha and beta particles along with gamma rays. Discuss the nuclear strong force which prevents the nucleus from breaking apart due to electromagnetic repulsion. Elicit binding energy calculated by the difference between the energy of the assembled nucleus and the energy of the individual nucleons which comprise the nucleus. Discuss that it is always a negative number and is expressed by E=mc^2,
Elicit the 4 bond formations which carbon attains to complete an octet. Define isomers. Discuss and use examples of structural isomers and stereoisomers. Define with examples geometric isomers and optical isomers. Discuss rotation of light connected with optical isomers. Define and use examples of chiral molecules and the definition of enantiomers.
We will complete our study of vectors by doing problems involving displacement, velocity and acceleration. Examples will be done in class.

Lesson Comments
We have completed all of the topics required for the APCalculus BC course. We will use our class time to do problems similar to those that will be on the test. Our text book has over 100 practice problems.
We analyzed Shakespeare's use of a triple foil as developed in Act IV. We first studied Hamlet's soliloquy after he encounters Fortinbras' army as evidence of Hamlet's view of Mankind- a brute in the absence of action- and his renewed view toward the need for urgent action. Here Hamlet again commits himself to immediate action. I explained how the characters act as foils or contrasts in that Hamlet and Fortinbras both have consciousness of their mortality but Fortinbras subsumes his fear by bravely confronting death even for minor cause.. Later,we studied how Laertes "rash " and emotional demand for revenge in response to his father's death also contrasts with Hamlet who struggles to subsume his thoughts to action, Last, I explained how Act IV dramatizes chaos which the tragic structure will resolve in Act V.
Use the formula E(cell) = E (cathode) - E(anode). Determine that when the total is positive, the reaction is product favored. Use table 19.1 to demonstrate that the more positive the E total, the better the oxidizing ability. The more negative the value of reduction potential, the less likely the 1/2 reaction will occur.
