Smells lab

The smells lab was very interesting. In this lab we had to smell many different things. This lab consisted of the different smells. Most of these smells didnt smell to good to say the least....

Lewis Dot Structures Worksheet

The Lewis Dot Structures worksheet was very interesting and helpful. In this worksheet we had to make Lewis dot structure for all the different combination of compounds. We used single bonds, double bonds, and triple bonds all to do this.

Polar Comic

In class we read about a polar comic. This polar comic was very interesting. The polar comic was about the polar bonds and electronegatity. These comics are very funny I learn a lot at the same time. It is a great learning tool.

Ions, light and Bond Types

Ions, Light and Bond Types we learned much about this past week. We learned of the three types of bonds the Metallic, Ionic, and Covalent. Also we learned much about Ionization energy which is energy required to release an electron from an atom. Also we learned about electronegativity which is a meausre of the ability of an atom in a molecule to attact electrons to itself.

Molecule Webpage

I have finished my Molecule Webpage about a week ago. My site offers a variety of different information of my molecule which was Riboflavin. The information I offer about Riboflavin includes: chemical formula, pictures of its molecular structure, molar mass, melting point, and many other interesting facts.

Visual Spectrum Lab

The visible spectrum lab was very good. It was very interesting to see the wavelengths and their different colors. The cool part was going to the library and graph the lab on Google docs. It was very interesting seeing the different colors on my Google docs graphs.

Google Docs

We have been using Google Docs in class. I personally think it is great to have web based documents. It is great to be able to go anywhere and be able to add my new information of chemistry to my google docs. The advantage of being able to do this is extremly helpful with its easy access and user friendly computer environment.
