Weekend assignments
The Honors worksheets contain review material on ionic bonding. Just answer up to and including question 7 on the "Activity 4-5: The Chemical Bond II" worksheet.
AP: Transition Metal- Ligand Complexes is one of the self-study units in our course (which will help you answer a couple of the "weed-out" multiple-choice questions on the AP exam). The difficult part of the unit is to facilely name these daunting compounds. You MUST practice naming them repeatedly until you can quickly do so. The chapter is one of the most interesting in chemistry (so read the whole chapter if you desire) and you will deal almost exclusively with these complex compounds if you take inorganic chemistry in college; some of the most biologically vital compounds are metal-ligand complexes: hemoglobin (left), chlorophyll (above) anyone?
