Review For the Final

Cottone — Thu, 21 May 2009 20:44:24 +0000

This will help with Chemistry and if you get done, Earth Science

1) http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/navigation/visualization.cfm

2) Scroll down to Chpt 5 and click on:

How Many Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons Are in Common Elements?

3) Step 1: Record an answer for the six pictures, then click on Step 2. Use your PT.

4) Step 2: Tell me how big a Cu (copper) atom is.

5) Write down what you know about subatomic particles (p,n,e) with regards to charge, location, and mass. Then, click Step 3 and move your cursor over the particles to check your answer. How did you do?

6) Try to build the first ten atoms of the PT and isotopes for each. Follow the directions in the box. Do you see a pattern?

a. What happens when electrons and protons are moved near each other?

b. What happens to the nucleus when it contains neutrons only? Protons only?

c. What happens when you try to put a third electron in the first energy level?

I am having difficulty uploading the file that fits with this. You can see me in class or write me in this blog if you think you will need the corresponding worksheets and questions.

Time to review and learn Plate Boundaries and Volcanoes inside out.

Volcanoes: http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/pompeii/interactive/interactive.html

Homework 4/16: Earth Science “The Beginnings”

Cottone — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 13:10:48 +0000

vOn a separate piece of paper, write down which of the 7 Natural Wonders you would like to visit and explain why. Ask someone in your family to do the same below yours.

Practice Balancing

Cottone — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 18:04:43 +0000

Remember, we will be finishing Chemistry on Wed. April 15 and we will begin Earth Science the next day.

The final quiz will include everything we have done since December (minus the whining).

Here are some balancing problems:

1.  H₂ +  O₂ --->  H₂O            26.  N₂   +   H₂  --->   NH₃

2.  S₈ +  O₂ --->  SO₃            27.  N₂   +   O₂  --->   N₂O

3.  HgO --->  Hg +  O₂            28.  CO₂   +   H₂O  --->   C₆H₁₂O₆   +   O₂

4.  Zn +  HCl --->  ZnCl₂ +  H₂   29.  SiCl₄   +   H₂O  --->   H₄SiO₄   +   HCl

Quiz Friday March 27 before SPRING BREAK!

Cottone — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 19:40:07 +0000

Complete the following for extra credit on the quiz:

Draw and Label the bonds for KCl and SO₂

*You will get points for visiting the other blogs on our TEAM. If you can write Ms. Thachik and Mr. McNulty a legitimate question about what you are learning in Math and English, I will give you extra credit points. If they tell me your question was garbage, you will receive garbage rather than extra credit.

Quiz Helper

Cottone — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 16:41:27 +0000

If you can complete this row, you will do fine on this table in the quiz.

Element	Atomic #	Atomic Mass	# of Protons	# of Neutrons	Mass #	# of Electrons	Charge
	10			11		10

Your mission should you choose to accept it:

Complete this table and send me the answers in the comment section, you will receive a homework pass for one of your missed homework assignments this marking period. If you do all of your homework, then you will get bonus points on the quiz. Good luck!
