Nukes
Here is a link with some animations regarding our Nuclear Unit:

Make sure that you read and complete Topic 12: Nuclear Chemistry in the orange review book. The file with answers will be posted on the class web page.
The Nuclear/Organic test is scheduled for next week on Wednesday.
Two full Regents exams will be assigned over this extended vacation. These tests will be collected and graded. Since the answer key is readily available, the grade will be based on the accuracy and quantity of work shown for EACH question (i.e. formula, calculations, definitions, principles, explanations). For the free response B-2 and C sections, I expect MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE/ELABORATE honors-level answers than those in the Regents answer key. One word or phrase answers will not receive credit.
The second that the bell rings tomorrow, be ready with questions from the first two practice Regents. We have to get A LOT of questions clearly explained with only ONE day of review this week.
