Hello all. You are currently studying for or finishing up your 1st trimester finals....but the science must go on. For the brief time we are together before Thanksgiving Break, we will be looking at trends within the periodic table. Please review the Prezi linked in the General Chemistry Study Resources Page.
Here are some other resources that will prepare you for class:
Summary of the general pattern for Periodic Trends
Periodic Trend PowerPoint with good pictures/graphs (movie links do not work)
More movies/animations than you have time to watch. Pick the one(s) you think will help the most.
We will then be moving on to Similarities/Differences in Ionic vs Covalent bonding. I would also read the book, watch the Prezis, and/or find some similar resources linked above to be ready for class.
