   -=-
2. TASK 2: Work in making chemical formulas from group ions – they work just like the single atom variety… only you’ll need to use the ( ) for more than one of them.

You all know how this works. Watch the video, answer the questions.

TODAY IN AREA154:

Here are the questions you will need to answer:

1. (@1:00)There was a secret way to access the S-4 facility. Bob described it… now it’s your turn. What did that security access system measure and why do you think it might have been better than just scanning a finger print?
2. (@3:30) Tracking down Lazar’s credentials became a problem. Why was it so hard for Lazar’s education and credentials so hard to verify?
3. (@9:40) Bob got himself into some legal hot water. He could have come clean at his trial, but he didn’t. What was the remarkable thing he did during that trial and why did it land him in more hot water?
4. (@13:35) There was a really… odd… nickname the employees at S-4 gave the aliens, what was it?
5. (@21:30) Lazar decided to undergo a specific type of “treatment” so that he could recall more specific details about his experience. Describe this “Treatment”.
6. (@27:34) Even an LA cop was used to try and discredit Lazar. The cop put him through 4 different tests. What did those tests reveal?
7. (@30:50) What exactly was Lazar’s job at S-4, what was he supposed to be doing?
8. (@31:20) Draw the craft that Lazar worked on in your ATN.

There’s only 3 weeks to go and half of your sophomore year will be over! Don’t check out yet, we need to finish strong, no time for coasting!

Over the year’s I’ve thought of that time in August until Thanksgiving break as “the gauntlet” due to the extensive time, the summer heat, and the pressure to change Freshman into humans. Well, it’s over. The break starts tomorrow and a week of peace… hopefully.

Valence electrons are the parts of the atom that do all of the heavy lifting when it comes to holding your world (and you) together in one piece. Today we’ll see there are only three versions of these bonds. Hmmm… that number three seems to be coming up a lot.

1. TASK 1: The Bond. You will present three definitions, one for each type of chemical bond.

2. TASK 2: We will then talk about the nature of these bonds, but as we do so, you might learn a couple of things about human nature. Turns out boys and girls are behaviorally not all that different from these bond behaviors.

Your task is to follow up on the website listed below. You will be making chemical compounds using this simulator. As you use the simulator, you’ll be asked to fill out that nifty sheet you were given. Finish it today and you’ll get some much needed bonus points!

Here’s the website: CLICK HERE The instructions on how to fill out your sheet are in this video below:

The Valence electrons do ALL the work. The forces that keep atoms together are called bonds. I think you’ve figured that out by now. Though, the number of bonds and the type of bonds are predictable based on where they are on the periodic table – and THAT positioning is brought about by something called ELECTRONEGATIVITY. Say that … and your IQ goes up 10 points.

TODAY IN AREA154:

Open the website in your Chromebook:

1. TASK 1: Get out your ATN and set up section 6. This thing called “electronegativity” is the force that decides what sort of chemical bond happens in a molecule.

2. TASK 2: Draw an outline of the periodic table in your ATN. Next draw an arrow that indicated the trend of electronegativity across the table. (If you’re in class, check the screen in the back of the class)
   -=-
3. TASK 3: List the elements in Section 6 from LOWEST electronegativity to HIGHEST level of electronegativity. Get it signed off when you are done.

You’re going to learn a new word today, Agents. The word is “VALENCE” and it means on the surface or that which you can see, or something unhidden. It has a significance in chemistry, as you will see.

Recall us talking about those three craft that “landed” in Antarctica? Check this out…
