The assignment will be due Friday, January 13, 2012.
It will take about a ½ hour for you to watch all these videos. Please let me know if you have trouble loading the videos. Do NOT wait until the last minute to complete this assignment. If you have problems, make an appointment to come see them during lunch.
Watch the videos for Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, and Cesium. These are to show you the difference in reactivity for some of the Group 1 metals. Once you’ve watched all 5 videos, please write a 1-2 paragraph reaction. This may be emailed to me, written out on lined paper, or typed out and handed in. (Questions to consider: What interesting fact or facts did you learn about each metal? What did you find cool? What did you already know? What do these videos show you about periodic trends?) Note: the professor actually explains the periodic trend in the Francium video.
(Love their accents. Imagine if I had hair like Prof P.)
