SPO VIRTUAL CLASSROOMS
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Understand how atoms, molecules and compounds are represented using chemical symbols & formulas.
- Describe the subatomic parts of an atom.
- What are valence electrons and why are they important?
- Understand the three different types of bonds that we discussed: ionic, covalent and hydrogen.
- Understand the different types of basic reaction types: synthesis (such as dehydration reaction), decomposition (such as hydrolysis reaction), and exchange.
- What is a redox reaction? What does it mean for something to be oxidized? Reduced?
- What is an ion and how does it relate to acids, bases and salts?
- What is an isotope?
- Compare and contrast acids bases and salts.
- Know enough about the pH scale to understand which numbers represent acidic, neutral and basic substances.
- What are buffers?
LECTURE POWERPOINT
Versions of Inorganic Chemistry PPT:
- Student's Inorganic Chemistry Basics PowerPoint Show
Printing: The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet", Under Pages per sheet, select "2". That uses up less paper, placing two slides on each page.
The Inorganic Chemistry Lecture materials include:
- list of learning objectives
- PowerPoint lecture
- a homework assignment
- practice review & test questions
- Better Living Through Chemistry - song by Queens of the Stone Age
- Chain Reaction - song by Diana Ross
- Chemical World - song by Blur
- Chemistry - song by Kimya Dawson
- Meet the Elements - music video by They Might Be Giants
- The Element Song - Tom Lehrer
> sung by Tom Lehrer
> sung by Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)
- Neutron Dance - song by Pointer Sisters
- What Kind of Bonds Are These? - song by Mark Rosengarten
