  • Problem Set #2 is ready and available at the Problem Set link. You can pick up your own copy in class on Wednesday when you turn in PS1.
  • If you have questions drop by today (Tuesday, August 28, 2001). I will busy all day on Wednesday and will not be able to answer questions before class. I have a visitor from out of town.
  • OSU Mountain Bike/Road Bike Club meeting Thursday, August 30, 2001 in AgH201 at 6:30 pm.
  • I've added a new link on our menu. It is a forum for our class. You can go to this site and ask questions, answer questions, make comments, all anonymously. I'll be moderating the forum, so I will get the feedback and I'll also add my observations/answers if I see anyone going off track. Too Cool!
  • I added a new type of exploration at the PreLecture Exploratons link. It is a Post-Lecture Exploration. Same design, an animation and some questions, but no I'd like you to do these after lecture. I'd like to get an idea of what you understood about the lecture.
  • 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 whoel 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 begine 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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:

  • 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.
