Quiz Debrief: Chapter 2 - A Closer Look at Matter

• Open your quiz and look it over. What questions do you have?

Pre-Lab: Spectroscopy - Analysis of Food Dyes in Beverages

Due Monday, September 30

**Have both of these documents open as your do your Pre-lab. The clarifications sheet tells you what to write for each part of your lab and gives clarifications as needed.

• • Lab: Spectroscopy - Analysis of Food Dyes in Beverages (Lab Handout)

    • • • This is an AP lab. Parts of it are confusing and it is not in the same format as the non-AP labs so I've created a "Clarifications Sheet" to help you (see below)

  • Lab: Spectroscopy - Analysis of Food Dyes in Beverages (Clarifications Sheet)

    • • • Have this document open at the same time as the lab. This is where I put clarifications, pre/post-questions, conclusions, etc.

Assignment: Chapter 2 - A Closer Look at Matter

Due Thursday - Quiz is Thursday

• Chapter 2 is all review from Chemistry 1 so we will do almost no lecture on these topics

• Examine your Traffic Light Study Guide. Any yellow or red topics need to be reviewed on your own time so that you know the information in detail.

• Read and take notes where needed.

  • • Especially focus on Ch 2.6 Periodic Trends because your AP Periodic Table has limited info - knowing the trends will help you solve problems when the AP Periodic Table doesn't have info to help you!

• We will lecture on 2.4: Principle Quantum Number and 2.7 Photoelectron Spectroscopy only

• Notice: I did not assign practice problem - you need to do practice problems for the sections where you need to refresh your memory. I am giving you the opportunity to figure out what you need study and practice.

Quiz Tomorrow: Chapter 2 - A Closer Look at Matter

• Study. Use the practice quizzes in EdvantageScience.com to help you prepare.
