What tasks have you completed recently? - I completed a periodic table review, a coloring packet of  the periodic table, Chemical Bonding Lab, and a Unit 4 test. What have you learned recently? - I've learned about atomic radius, electronegativiy, ionization energy. Atomic Radius is the distance of an elements nucleus to their valence electron, ionization energy is the energy needed to remove an electron from an element, and electonnegativity is the tendency of element to attract a bonding pair of electrons. All these things are caused due to the force of attraction from the nucleus. They also all follow patterns within the Periodic Table. What are you planning yo do to further your understanding? - I plan on studying and reviewing these different terms to help remind myself of the patterns and definition of them.

What tasks have you completed recently? - We completed an electron configuration envelope activity, we had a test over unit 3, and did a periodic table review. What have you learned? - We learned about Periodicity and what makes something periodic and the difference of something that is quasi-periodic. I learned why the periodic table is set up and organized the way it is. What are you planning on doing next to improve my understanding? - I plan on focusing more on the periodic table and try to further understand the periodic table and the patterns within it, so I can have a clearer idea of what elements' characteristics are and how they are similar to other elements around them.

What tasks have you completed recently? - Recently we preformed a lab about atomic structure and electromagnetic reaction, it was a flame test. we also completed a Pogil about electron configurations. What have you recently learned? - I learned about electron configurations and all the rules associated with them, and why different elements emit different light when exposed to flame. The electrons reached an "excited" state and then fall back to a ground state that's what creates light. What are you planning to do to improve your understanding? -I plan on continuing to pay attention in class and keep practicing making electron configurations.
