Welcome Year 12!

Here is your homework for ERA:

1. Read and make notes on two pieces of writing:
This piece I’m giving you now - Chemistry 1010: Atomic Orbitals
…and the information that you find when working through the chapter “It’s Elementary” on this website https://www.learner.org/interactives/periodic/elementary3.html
Evaluate the two sources – which was more useful? Which was easier to use?

2.  Complete the Building Elements activity at the end of the chapter on the website above.  Make a note of the electron configurations you found.

LEL away on Thursday

Dear 12eCh and 12dCh,

I am away on Thursday - I'm interviewing so will be around but not able to be in the lesson. In my absence could you please investigate the development of the model of benzene and produce some succinct notes. You need to be able to:


  1. Describe the kekule structure of benzene
  2. Explain the evidence for and against the kekule structure of benzene
  3. Describe the orbital model of of benzene
  4. Explain the evidence for the orbital model of benzene
I will go over it in class by picking on you and expecting you to know something about it!

Have a nice day without me.

Yours
Ms Elias

cover for period 2 today

You need to answer some of the exam questions that I have posted on the blog (below) – there are 504 minutes worth in total (if you ignore any overlaps). Some questions have come out a little weird and it is impossible to read the scale (so don’t do those) and you’ve not learnt anything about fermentation – so ignore these questions too!

Have fun without me. I’ve booked the library computers for your use (not the ones on the stage) so you could ask Mrs Cook to boot the other 6th formers out.

Cover work for 12e on 12th May

Apologies I will not be able to see you today.

Please read pages 146-147 of the text book and answer the questions on page 147.  There is graph paper on the door of W9 which you will need to do this.

Please also complete the worksheet on rates and collision theory (also stuck on the door).

Best wishes,
ERA
