Tom Leher sings on YouTube

Just for fun,
the periodic table in song:

Numbers of the Periodic Table and Bohr-Rutherford

For how to figure out a) the number of protons, electrons and neutrons and b) how to draw a Bohr-Rutherford diagram see this great site!

(The pictures here are good, but the site is even better!)

Also, if you click on the pictures, you can view the whole picture (it is a bit cropped in the blog)

ziploc chemical equation

For the observing changes lab (ziplock lab) we combined baking soda and calcium chloride. Use the internet to complete the chemical equation:


calcium chloride + sodium bicarbonate → _____________________

or

CaCl2 + 2 NaHCO3 → _________________________

Quick Review

What have you learned about copper sulphate crystals and how to make them? Do you think this is a physical or a chemical change? Why?


What did you learn from the ziplock lab or the youtube clip about cabbage indicators? Why do you think that in both, things turned colour? Was this a physical or a chemical change? Why?

Copper Sulphate Crystals




If you liked the copper sulphate crystal lab and you would like a sneek preview of what the crystals will look like, try these links: http://chemistry.about.com/od/crystalrecipes/a/coppersulfate.htm

If you liked the lab from page 18 of your textbook (ziplock, two powders and film canister), try watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xuo5r6HOXNM ! Add Video
