Chemblog!

I posted the remaining Organic Chem unit notes which include the remainder of the important organic compounds (organized by functional group). Then, the rest of the unit involves the important organic reaction types (sort of like the ones that we classified before, you know, single replacement, synthesis, etc.)
The accompanying worksheets may be done whenever but I advise you to do some this weekend so that you don't try to cram them all into the night before the test next week. Each worksheet comes with solutions.
If you are good at memorizing, that is especially helpful in organic (due to the naming rules) but your responses in class showed that you can see the logic of why some of the functional groups are polar, nonpolar, etc. ; so that is great, too.
We will begin Nuclear Physics (nothing chemical going on in that unit) on Tuesday, rain or shine. Our course then shifts into professional Regents Prep overdrive. Our first Regents Exam will be assigned for next weekend's (05/20/2005) hw. The first two won't count for or against your average so make sure that you keep track of what you are not absolutely bulletproof on.
Have a good weekend. Enjoy the Spring Concert or just the Spring!
