BURNNNNNNED!!!:
DO NOT MENTION, CARE ABOUT, SAY, OR STRESS THE OCTET!!!!!!!!! EVERYBODY THINKS THAT THE OCTET IS THE CAUSE OF BONDING!!!!!!! REMOVE ANY TRACE OF THAT FROM PAGE ONE OF THE BONDING NOTES!!!!!!!!!!
SEVERE and serious problems drawing Lewis Structures of salts. FUNDAMENTALLY contrast and train all future classes on when and why and how to knee-jerk draw bracketed ions versus covalently bonded atoms. Give repeated examples, side BY side, of metal - nonmetal examples vs. non-metal - nonmetal samples.
MOST are still not following the Lewis rules and just "figuring it out" willy nilly....THIS IS AFTER REPEATED WARNINGS ON FOLLOWING THE RULES!!!
one explanation on bonding and energy changes....completely effed by almost everyone....completely destroy any mention of octet stabilization !!! DRILL DRILL DRILL the how and why of stabililization via two types of bonds....
IT IS ACTUALLY JAN. 22nd....REMIND STUDENTS OF THIS WELL BEFORE THE 2nd QUARTER LAB EXAM DISASTER HAPPENS!!!!!
THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH IMF's OR MOLECULAR POLARITY OR ANYTHING ELSE!!!!! MUST HAVE A SPECIAL SESSION OTHERWISE THE 2nd QTR AVGS ARE RUINED BY THE LAST TEST!!!!
ALSO, WARN THEM ABOUT NOT LEARNING NAMING!!!!
