Due Friday 10/16
chapter 5 - periodic law

• Read pages 140-146 (atomic radii and ionization energy). 
• This is a dense and detailed reading. Read this section carefully, I recommend that you read it several times. When I was a student I would have read it at least three times. I would read each paragraph several times to understand the details then read the entire thing again as a whole to make sure I understood how those details fit together.
• Read and understand SAMPLE PROBLEM 5-5 and 5-6

Due Thursday, 10/15
chapter 5 - periodic law

• read pages 128-139
• Answer questions 1, & 2 on page 139
• The first part of this reading is review - the relationship between the periodic table and electron configuration.
• The second part of the reading discusses important periodic groups: alkali metal, alkaline earth, transition metals, etc. These terms and the element characteristics is important. As you read this have a periodic table at hand so you can familiarize yourself with the locations of these groups.
