Química 401: Electrones y luz (4 de 7) [Ciencia]

An atom loses an electron... it says "Man! I really got to keep my ion them!"

This class is designed to provide an more in-depth look at the electron and the important role is plays in the atom.  This class will also cover topics related to light.  Many topics will be covered over this 5 week class that will give the student a better understanding of electrons and the electromagnetic spectrum.  Students will have the opportunity to practice what they learn each week.  

Week 1: Review of Atoms and Valence Electrons
-> Video Lecture: Atoms Review
-> Video Lecture: Valence Electrons Review
-> Fill in the blank note sheets for each video
-> Practice problems

Week 2: Electron Quantum Numbers and Atomic Orbitals
-> Video Lecture: Quantum Numbers for Electrons
-> Video Lecture: Atomic Orbitals
-> Fill in the blank note sheets for each video
-> Practice problems

Week 3: Electron Configurations
-> Video Lecture: Electron Configurations and Diagrams
-> Fill in the blank note sheets for each video
-> Practice problems

Week 4: Covalent Bonding and Molecular Shapes
-> Video Lecture: Covalent Bonding Revisted
-> Video Lecture: Molecular Shapes 
-> Fill in the blank note sheets for the video
-> Practice problems

Week 5: Light and the Electromagnetic Spectrum
-> Video Lecture: Electromagnetic Spectrum
-> Fill in the blank note sheets for each video
-> Practice problems

This is a flexible schedule course, meaning that there are no live meetings. Each week, new video lectures, notes pages, and practice problems will be posted to the classroom. The student should upload their completed practice problems to the classroom (either scanned or picture taken) for feedback from the teacher.   There will be a discussion thread where students can ask for help from the class and the teacher.  To get the most out of this course, the teacher will provide notes pages with blanks for the students to fill in as they watch the videos.  Students are expected to complete the practice problems each week as the material builds upon itself weekly.

The teacher is always be available via message (either in the classroom discussion or private message) and will typically reply within 12 hours, but never more than 24 hours unless extenuating circumstances.
