The Useful
Information pages for the exam are available.
I have a conference
call beginning at 3:00 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2001. Not sure how long
it will take, but I predict at least an hour. If the weather is nice I will
probably go for a mtb ride after that. I will be around Tuesday evening if
you have questions.
PS7
was distributed in class on Monday, October 15, 2001. It is available at the
PS link.
Answers to
PS6 and the grading memo are now available.
I've
completed the Expert Responses for a few of the PLE's since Exam I.
I've linked
several sample exams that contain problems of the type you are responsible
for on our Exam II.
Laboratory
for the week of October 15, 2001 is the second part of Survival Organic Chemistry.
Check out the information at the laboratory link. You will learn about alkenes,
geometric isomers, alkynes, alcohols, carboxylic acids and amines.
Help Session
on Monday, October 15, 2001 at 7:30 pm in PS141. I said 8:00 pm in lecture
so we'll have to be a little sensitive.
New
grades are now available (as of 10/3/01). Note that I now have grades for
each part of the course: homework, lab and exam. With that information I can
predict your final course %. That % is located in the lower left corner of
the page. That is what I PREDICT. Check the General Information link on our
web site to see what grade is equivalent to the %. If you have any questions
e-mail me, or drop by. I'm out of town on Thursday (most), but I'll be around
on Friday. Any errors in your grades see your TA.
Oklahoma EPSCoR is sponsoring a 'Science, Mathematics, Engineering
and Technology (SMET) Career Options Conference on Saturday, November 3, 2001
from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm in the Atrium of the Noble Research center. The conference
is focusing on freshman women and will stress non-traditional career options.
There will be a panel of outstanding women scientists from Oklahoma, tours
of research laboratories at OSU, and free food. For more info and a form
to receive an invitation to this conference contact Dr. G, or Shelley
Holland, NRS Room 127, 744-9964.
The new grade
access form is working. To get your grades you click on our grade link. Your
name is the first initial of your first name and your last name as a lowercase
string. For example, John Gelder is jgelder. Your password is the SID# that
you gave me when you completed the SID form on our web site. If you have any
problems send me an e-mail. It is working now but exam grades are not up yet.
The Syllabus has been updated to accommodate the 2-week Qualitative
Cation Analysis laboratory.
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! CHANGE IN DAY for EXAM 3! Exam 3 has been
changed to Wednesday, November 7, 2001 from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Originally
scheduled for Thursday, November 15, 2001. Due to my travel schedule I leave
for Princeton, New Jersey on November 8 and I will not be back until Tuesday,
November 14. I do not want to have our 3rd exam scheduled such that I am gone
the whole week before the exam, so I've made this change. Please update your
calenders. Sorry for the change. All other exam dates are firm.
Dr. Materer has been assisting me with a new Grade display
page. The new page will only display your individual grade. To access your
grades in CHEM 1515 (when I begin posting) you will need an SID#/Name. So
be sure to complete the form on our web site to tell me what your SID is.
You should know the cations and anions in Tables 2.3 and
2.5 on pages 67 and 69 in Silberberg.
Want some EXTRA CREDIT? Complete the form at the SID#/Name
link.

Sitting around with nothing to do? We are going to begin
lecture on Wednesday, January 17th discussing Chapter 12 in Silberberg. I
recommend you review Chapters 9, 10 and 11 before class. In particular, refresh
your recall of drawing Lewis structures, the concept of electronegativity,
ionic and covalent bonds, bond polarity, molecular polarity, molecular shape
(in particular central atoms with 2, 3 and 4 groups of electrons), valence
bond theory, and hybridization. Check out lecture notes from CHEM 1314. In
particular look at;
Lecture
Notes on Covalent compounds and electronegativity.
Lecture
Notes on Valence Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion.
Lecture
Notes on Valence Bond Theory and Hybrization.
