Tuesday December 18th

Today we'll do a lecture on the important points of chapter nine. Homework for Thursday is to read up until p. 373. Due Thursday is a problem of your choice from the section on page 391 titled "Orbital Overlap; Hybrid Orbitals". You will present this to the group if there is time after the model building lab. On Friday, NO MORNING MEETING! Yee-haw! Read the rest of the chapter before Friday, and choose a problem from the section titled "Multiple Bonds" starting on page 391. These homework exercises are due Friday - Ms. Crock will email me the who's who of homework list so I can enter the grades in over break. Beware, you will not need to know molecular orbital theory for the AP exam. However, it IS something you should be aware of so read it. Pay particular attention to the "Chemistry in Life", "Chemistry at Work", and "Chemistry: A Closer Look" sections - they are the most interesting and applicable. Quiz on Friday - pay attention to the sample exercises!
