Retest Blog

So since you did do some research, let’s save some time. You have a lot of things going on and I recognize that you are making the effort to rectify the situation. So you may choose any of the four original questions to do.

Make sure that you note which one you are choosing to do

Also remember it is not about quantity rather it’s about quality.

Give me your thoughts and understanding of the material. It helps me to understand what you understand in the material.

If you have to use a reference, make sure that you cite it.

Also do not use the author’s words- I want to hear your words!

Good Luck- the quicker you get it turned in, the quicker I can finalize your grades before I head to Houston!

question 1

Examine the history of the development of the atom. We have already discussed the
major players in the development of the atom. Pick out at least 8 major players who
helped aid in the development of the concept of the atom. Then explain each
experiment in a concise explanation. Then explain how each one aided in the
development of the next or how their concept assisted in the further development of the current quantum model of the atom.

#2

There are various methods of identifying elements. We have discussed how electron
configurations can be used to identify elements as well as how to identify with
spectroscopy. We have also examined how the periodic table has been developed and
arranged through experimentation. Explain how all of these developments have verified
the construction and the arrangement of the periodic table. Then examine how scientist develop new elements. Pick one new element and explain how the scientist developed it and where it belongs on the periodic table of elements.

Test Question 3

There are three divisions for the types of bonds that occur. Explain the three types of bonds and their characteristics. Then explain the reason for their characteristics by use of concepts such as ,metal, nonmetal, metalloid as well as forces of bonding (notice i did not give you the name for that). Make sure that you explain all the characteristics
and you give examples.

#4

Think about the types of bonds that we have discussed. We have disused the method
used to determine the ratio of one element to another in an ionic bonded compound. We
have not discussed how we determine covalent or metallic bonds. You are to discuss
how we determine ionic bonds and then determine how we discover the bond and
formation of the molecule. Make sure you use specific examples including experiments.
