  • So how should we do class tomorrow? I can continue lecturing over VSEPR and/or we could run the class like a HELP Session...you ask questions and I'll answer them. So if you had questions on PS16 I could do some examples similar to the problems on the problem set. What do you think? Lecture or answer questions? Only vote once! I can tell if you vote more than once!
  • CORRECTION ON PS16.1b. Change CH3NH3 to CH3NH2! oops!
  • Need a break? Studying too hard? Check out the Graphics Design Portfolio Exhibition in the Gardiner Art Gallary at the Bartlett Center on campus. Monday - Friday 8 - 5 pm, Saturday 9 - 1 pm and Sunday 1 - 5 pm. There is a reception this Sunday from 2 - 4 pm. There are always great examples of projects at these student exhibits.
  • Help Session for our class is scheduled for 3:00 pm on Saturday, December 9, 2000 in PS141.
  • Honor's student in the 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm section of our class, has been working on the QuickTime video lectures adding some Flash interactivity as part of their Honor's project in Chemistry. The following lectures not have Flash interactivity;
  • 11/29/00, 11/27/00, 11/22/00, 11/20/00, 11/17/00, 11/15/00, 11/13/00, 11/10/00, 11/3/00, 10/30/00, 10/20/00, 10/18/00 and 10/13/00

    Check them out I think you'll find them more useful. For example, check out the example on resonance structures I did in lecture on Wednesday, November 29, 2000. You have to do this for PS15.8 which must be turned in with PS16 on Friday. The Honors student in the 1:30 and 3:30 pm sections have been learning Flash this semester and are completing their projects this week. I will be announcing other lectures with the Flash interactivity later this week. This should be a big help as you review for our exam on Monday.

  • Here are lecture notes for our class on wednesday, December 6, 2000.
  • PS17 is ready for you to do on the Web. The link is here. It must be completed by 5:00 pm on Wednesday, December 13, 2000. It consists of 9 multiple choice content related questions. Answer those questions to the best of your ability. 'I don't know' is an exceptable answer...if you do not know the answer. The remaining 8 questions ask for some feedback on the laboratory portion of CHEM 1314 this semester. After completing this form (remember to click the Submit button at the bottom of the form) and I will give you 12 points. You need to answer ALL the questions for the 12 points. I will not see your responses until after grades are submitted. But Dr. Montes will report to me the names of students completing the form and the number of questions completed.
  • Holly Dale is doing a Help Session for her students at 6:00 pm on Thursday, December 7, 2000. Meet in the hallway outside PS103. If you are a little late, cruise the lecture rooms around that end of the building. Holly will have graded Problem sets and laboratory experiments.
  • Jeff (Sec. 20) says to come to his office hour at 8:30 am on Thursday to pick up Problem Sets and Labs that he has.
  • I've put up copies of this semester's exams and the answers at the Exam link.
  • I've updated grades I've received over the weekend.
  • To get ready for lecture on Wednesday, December 6, 2000 on Valence Shell Electron repulsion Theory check out this Web site.
  • CORRECTIONS to PS15: You do not have to do PS15.6i or PS15.6j or PS15.8 when you turn in your problem set on Thursday by 3:00 pm at my office. Change PS15.6j to ClF3.
  • PS16 is available.
  • Did someone leave a copy of Silberberg in their exam room last Wednesday evening? Drop by, identify the room and the book.

  • ----Previous Announcements----

     

  • Here is an interesting site which has some photographs of a human, a cat and a view of downtown Seattle taken with an infrared camera...cool!
  • Here is an interview with Douglas Haynes. The first Pistol Pete Pizza Olympic Champion.
  • If anyone would like to talk to me about their grade on the exam or in the course you are welcome to drop by and we can talk. Call ahead or check the Webcam to be sure I'm in the office.
  • We have a winner. Douglas Haynes from the 3:30 pm section is the new Pistol Pete Pizza Champion Pizza Competitor Winner. Based on his time in three challenging events Douglas beat out a large super size group of challengers to end up as the BIG KaHoona. Douglas won a new television (lets all go to Douglas' to what the World Series...who'll bring the pizza?) plus a very cool medal. We'll try to get some video and possibly an on camera interview of the world champion...possibly even showing how he prepared for the grueling events.
  • Here is video announcing the high score for exam 2 in the 1:30 pm section and the 3:30 pm section.
  • If you are using a 56K modem to connect to our Web Site here is a digital lecture from September 18, 2000 which I have compressed for play at that speed. Check it out and let me know what you think.
  • I've added some sample Real audio files of some sample stoichiometry and sample limiting reagent problems at the Real Audio/Video link. You must have the Real Player (different from the QuickTime Player) to view/listen to these files. Check it out.
  • I've listed the room each section will take their exams this semester at the Exams link. Check it out. If you arrive late to the exam because you get lost and can not find the correct room I am under no oligation to give you the same amount of time to do the exam as those students who arrived on time. (Not that this will be a problem!)
  • Some new stuff to memorize
  • Tables 2.3 (p 67), 2.4 (p 69), 2.5 (p 69) and 2.7 (p 73). I'll give you some tricks to make Tables 2.3 and 2.4 real easy to remember, but Table 2.5 and 2.7 have to be memorized. I promise the first exam will have some nomenclature questions.

  • Here is an example of just one of the talents of Robert Sleezer, one of our CHEM 1314 student. If you have a skill that needs to be shared with the world on video, see dr. g.
  • I just had a talk with the Director of the General Chemistry Laboratories and it was agreed that ALL students must wear eye protection in the laboratories. So all students, including HBL, must get eye protection.
  • The tutoring schedule is now available at the Tutoring link. The TA's in red are CHEM 1314 TA's.
  • I've got an initial version of a digital lecture on Wednesday, August 23rd on the QuickTime/Real Lectures link so check it out. Send me an email and let me know what happens or if you have any problems. Welcome to the future!
  • I've listed some recommended problems from Chapters 1 and 2. The list can be found in the Problem Set link at the bottom of the page.
  • If you would like to practice and test your knowledge on significant figures here is some software which will randomly generate questions. There are more of these types of randomly generated questions at our Problem Set link. Just scroll down the page a little to get to the link.
  • In order to post grade information (scores on problem sets, laboratory's and exams) I need your permission. Go the SID#/Name link and enter a number, name or combination unique to you. I will post grade information using your SID# or SIDName. You do not HAVE to have an SID#/Name if you do not want to. There are some additional questions that I would like you to answer for some EXTRA CREDIT.
  • One of the more popular periodic tables on the web is at http://www.shef.ac.uk/~chem/web-elements/. Check out if you need to find some physical properties for any particular elements.
  • Start memorizing..avoid the rush!
  • Things to memorize;

    names and symbols of the first 20 elements and 20 common elements;
    the formula and phase of all of the elements in the periodic table;
    the common prefixes for SI units;
    .

  • Need some extra money? Love computers and like to do Web stuff? Anyone looking for some parttime work writing HTML for a campus project? Check with Dr. G or see Steve Hall in LSE208. You will need to have a resume describing your work/computer experience.
  • I've generated a short Self-Test which has a few questions to provide me with some feedback as to how much you might recall from your past chemistry experience. The Self-Test has six questions. It is not graded, I'd just like to get some information prior to Wednesday's class. Give it a try, see what you can remember. Go to the Self-Test link in the left frame.
