Great job with noble gas notation today!! Watch last Friday’s and today’s vodcasts again and it will make more sense the second time! It would also be great review for the test! Speaking of which – have you started checking the stuff to know sheet for the test??? Super important!!!

Just when you were getting the hang of drawing arrows, I go and change it! But don’t you think writing electron configuration notation is a whole lot shorter than doing orbital notation? Don’t get me wrong, knowing how to do orbital is great for seeing how the electrons are paired, but this way is waaaay shorter!

Be sure and practice with the homework tonight, and don’t forget to use the Aufbau “chart”!!!!

Be sure you use Kelvin in the problems – not Celcius. And make double dog sure you use the formulas correctly! Rearrange that thing – no plug and play!!

Did quantum numbers begin making more sense when you started using them? Good work today on orbital notation. I think you’re going to be seeing arrows and numbers in your sleep!

IMPORTANT HW INFO: Be sure and check the syllabus for special instructions. I’ve added some extra!
