Atomic Theory Unit 2

We will study atomic theory this month.  In the Modern Chemistry text you should be studying in both Chapter 3 (complete review problems 1 to 23 odd) and in Chapter 4 (complete 1 to 29 odd)  The test on this unit will be 11/4 and all work must be turned in by the day of the test. There will be a quiz at some point during class as well.

 In addition to study of the text and your class notes you should consider the internet, especially YouTube chemistry channels, an essential part of learning chemistry well.  WATCH THE VIDEOS... you will slowly build important concepts...

DUE DATES
