To My FSIM Students..

Here are the links to the download pages of your first 6 laboratory experiments. I'm assuming that since you were able to reach this site, you know how to click on links and download files.. :)

Seriously though, before anyone attempts to set foot in the lab room, make sure that, aside from the other materials you're asked to bring, you carry a hard copy of the laboratory activity for the day. Remember, NO HARD COPY, NO EXPERIMENT and you’ll get 60 for the day.

Other reminders:

1. Use short-sized bond paper when printing or photocopying the activity sheets.
2. Brief answers to questions are encouraged. Confine your answers to the spaces provided after each question.
3. Write legibly. Maintain cleanliness of your report papers. Use a pen when writing down your answers. A pencil may be used if you're asked to draw or illustrate certain set-ups.
4. Staple the pages of your report before submitting such to me.

Please click the titles of the experiments found below to go to the download pages.

To my GenChem classes

Here is the link to the 40-item test on formula writing ang naming compounds..

The 40 questions I have posted for this test are of 2 types: Multiple Choice and Identification. The questions will randomly appear as you click the "submit my answer" tab on each page. This means the sequence the questions will follow is unique for each quiz-taker. Make sure you enter correctly spelled answers for questions under the identification type.You are given 30 minutes to finish answering all the questions. Your result will appear once the 40th question is answered. Please print and submit the score report / certificate generated by the site at the end of the test. The quiz will be available in the site until Sunday, March 1 2015, midnight only.

To My BSN 1A and 1B Classes:

To My BSN 1A and 1B Classes:

Kindly download and print a copy of the Table of Monoatomic and Polyatomic Ions found here. Bring your copy to our next lecture class meeting.

Thank you!

The VSEPR Theory

The VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) Theory is a simple technique used for predicting the shape or geometry of simple covalent molecules. It assumes that each atom in a molecule will achieve a geometry that minimizes the repulsion between electrons in the valence shell of that atom.

The following video clip enumerates the different types of molecular structures. Blue represents the central atom, white represents the atoms bonded to the central atom, and red represents lone electron pairs (pairs of nonbonded electrons in the central atom.)

Thanks to starjester1 for the clip... :)
