Here is a handout
we will use in class on Friday, September 28, 2001. I'll have copies for everyone
who comes to class.
The PLE for
today's class is now available.
Problem
Set #5 is available now. Help yourself. Be careful, this is a LONG problem
set. Start early and avoid the rush!
Did anyone
at the Help Session on Monday, September 17, 2001 (last week) happen to see/pickup
a PalmPilot. One of our students lost his and believes it was during the Help
Session. If you saw the PalmPilot or know anything, please drop by Dr. G's
office. Thank you.
For laboratory
next week check out the Laboratory link. Remember Monday's lab will meet on
Wednesday and do the Survival Organic Chemistry experiment. There is a Pre-Laboratory
Assignment that must be complete! If you need a copy of the experiment go
to the laboratory link.
I will have
some new grades up soon. Check here for that announcement.
The high
on Exam I is 99 and the average is around 61. Not bad!
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.
Answers to RPS, PS#1 and PS#2 are posted at the Problem Set
link. You need Adobe Acrobat Reader to see the answers. If you do not have
the Reader get is from Adobe. There is a link at the Plug-ins link on our
Web Site.
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.
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 Covalent compounds and electronegativity.
Lecture
Notes on Valence Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion.
Lecture
Notes on Valence Bond Theory and Hybrization.
