Just for Fun (read the other two blogs too eh)



Remember, this is only 2 grams of each.

And they're stored in Argon gas to keep them stable (argon is a noble gas which is quite stable).

PS for Bi12 and Science 10

Reminder of how to do Lewis Dot diagrams, check this video out.

SCIENCE 10 Homework due FRIDAY!


Do all of page 181 for homework, ready to mark for this Friday September 19th.

Please remember your 10 bucks for the workbooks.

SCIENCE 10

Science 10's who read this blog will now be rewarded -> the answer to number 4b) which states: the only halogen that is a liquid at room temperature and pressure is Bromine (Br)

Wednesday's huge test is three long pages and has anything to do with Bohr and Lewis diagrams as well as the periodic table. You will have to know how to draw Bohr and Lewis diagrams for atoms and for simple compounds. You will also need to know how to use the periodic table, as in, what element is Period 3 and Group 2? Answer: Magnesium.

See me today (Monday) or Tuesday after school for anything you're stuck on. The test should take the whole period.

2008/2009


Now this is up and running for another year, for both Bi12 and my Science 10's.

Your future homework will be posted :)

I'm assuming this is the huge particle collider that was supposed to end the world last Wednesday...

It's circumference is something like 27 km and is supposed to create mini black holes...

For the Science 10's, there's a new link at the bottom for an interactive periodic table. Check it out.
