Honors/Regents Vacation Assignment Errata (updated Friday the 13th!)
Thanks to a particularly astute Honors student, three misprints from the vacation assignment have been corrected and posted on our now up-and-running website.
Namely, the corrections are:
1. In the "Alkenes and Alkynes" Learning Module, Slide 7:
The slide had a misprint. The alkyne, 2-pentyne, should not have magically changed into an alkene. Check the updated file for the correction.
2. Orange review book answers: p 162 #32; the structural formula for 2-methyl 3-ethyl hexane was cut off or misprinted; I correctly reconfigured the structure and re-posted the file.
3. (Friday afternoon) In the "Aldehydes and Ketones" Learning Module, Slides 14 and 15:
Questions 14A and 14B do NOT coincide with their answers on slide 15 so I changed the questions to:
Now, they match with their corresponding answers on slide 15. The file has been updated.
Done, done, and done. If you have completed the assignment early, good for you; make sure that you have questions ready on Monday. That will be the review day for this assignment before our test on Tuesday.

B. 2,3-Dibromopropanal
