  • Who has an 83Plus Silver Edition? Let me know.
  • In RPS.6 use Ca(OH)2(s) rather than Ca(OH)2(aq). Instead of Appendix C in Brown, LeMay and Bursten use Appendix B in Silberberg.
  • Lecture notes for Wednesday class are posted. I am still working on them. There are some sample problems using the information from cooling/heating curves.
  • Be sure to do the pre-lecture exploration for Friday. I have one ready now, I may have another later this evening.
  • You should know the cations and anions in Tables 2.3 and 2.5 on pages 67 and 69 in Silberberg.
  • If you missed Monday's lecture I distributed two Problem Sets. These are available at the Problem Set link. You will need the Adobe Acrobate Reader to open the problem sets. Check the Plug-Ins link for the Acrobat Player.
  • HELP Session on Monday, August 27, 2001 at 7:30 pm in PS141. Questions on the Review PS and PS1 are welcome.
  • Want some EXTRA CREDIT? Complete the form at the SID#/Name link.
  • Be sure to bring your textbook and a calculator to laboratory the first week of classes. Yes, the CHEM 1515 laboratory does meet this week (August 20 - 24). (See the CHEM 1515 Syllabus)
  • Here is a list of the laboratory sections that are open and closed:

    *cancelled*

    *cancelled* this section has been cancelled due to low enrollment in the section. If you are enrolled in 1515.07 please transfer to one of the open sections (1515.01 or .06). Sorry for this inconvenience.

  • 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 Ionic compounds.

    Lecture on Ionic and Net Ionic equations from CHEM 1314

    Lecture Notes on Covalent compounds and electronegativity.

    Lecture on Covalent bonds and electronegativity from CHEM 1314

    Lecture Notes on Lewis structures.

    Lecture on Lewis Structures from CHEM 1314

    Lecture Notes on Valence Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion.

    Lecture on VSEPR from CHEM 1314

    A second lecture on VSEPR from CHEM 1314

    Lecture Notes on Valence Bond Theory and Hybrization.
