Today in class we had our first scrimmage to test our skills on electron configuration and orbital notation.  I was very happy with the results of the scrimmage.  Don't forget to practice the exceptions!  We will have a quiz for credit  on Thursday.  We also delved into the periodic table for the first time.  Make sure you understand the difference between Mendeleev's periodic table and Mosley's table.  Finish the periodic chart lab questions for homework and read/outline 6.2 and 6.3 in your textbook.  Please focus on the trends  as we will working with these during the next several classes.  Don't forget that the test will be 11/11/11.
