Additional Info
  • Make sure you have completed the textbook reading for Chapter 8.
  • Correct the textbook assignment from Friday, using the key that will be posted in the content library for Chapter 8 by Friday evening
  • Complete the 2-sided worksheet on balancing equations and predicting reactions in OneNote. See the following hints:
    • Hint #1: Remember to list the TYPE of reaction (of the 5 types) in addition to balancing on the front side.
    • Hint #2: On the bottom and back, it REALLY helps to try to do a word equation first, then write the correct formulas, and THEN balance. When students try to jump right to the balancing, they often make lots of mistakes.
    • Hint #3: remember your 7 diatomic elements, all of which end in -gen or -ine. ex. hydroGEN, oxyGEN, chlorINE, etc.) They are diatomic when alone (as an element), not when part of a compound.
