CHEM 1215 Fall 1999
Section 1
In class on Wednesday I indicated that I
expected everyobne to memorize the name (proper
spelling), symbol and formula for the first twenty
elements in the periodic table. For example;
Name
|
Symbol
|
Formula
|
Neon
|
Ne
|
Ne
|
Oxygen
|
O
|
O2
|
- In addition to the first twenty elements I
want you to know the same information for other 'common'
elements. We mentioned a few in class on
Wednesday…uranium, gold, silver, mercury,
molybdenum, lead…there will be more. In fact if I
mention an element in class, you'd better know it for the
future.
- Does everyone have a copy of PS1?
- If you missed laboratory this week (yes
there was a lab this week!!!) you will have to watch the
Safety Videotape next week following checkin. Talk to
your TA about this.
- Would you like some extra credit? Send me
an e-mail message with '1215 student' in the Subject.
Also you can receive some extra credit by completing the Student Information form.
- Problem Set #1 is available at the Problem
Set link. Get one early!
- Dr. Ford has placed a copy of the
Zumdahl's Complete Solutions Guide for our textbook on
Reserve in the Main Library. This guide may be useful to
you as it shows how all the problems at the end of the
chapters are solved. I believe he has placed the guide on
2 hour reserve. It will probably not be avaialble for a
week or so, so give it some time. If you check the
ProblemSet link I have listed recommended problems you
should do at the end of each chapter in Zumdahl. If you
have difficulties working these problems the Zumdahl's
Complete Solutions Guide should help.
