Finals week is right around the corner - ack! - but this also means that the winter break is coming quickly - I guess they even out somehow... ;-)
This week we will be exploring spectroscopy, the study of electromagnetic radiation (i.e. light) when it interacts with matter. This is a fascinating field with lots of implications for not only chemistry but the world in general... and it is one of my favorite chapters. Some/most of this material might be new to you, so spend some time watching the videos, reading the textbook, etc... and let me know if you have any questions!
Here's what is happening in week 11 of CH 221:
- Explore the material in Chapter 6. There are several tools to help you learn the material.... they include:
- Due: Problem
Set #6 which covers problems from Chapter 6.

There are three assignments due during finals week. There will be no extensions for late work, so make sure you turn your material in by the posted due date for your lab section. Please be aware: I do not return final exams to students. You will be able to see your final grades soon after the Wednesday deadline but not your graded assignments, and your final grade in the class will be available by 5 PM Friday. The three assignments are:
- The Lab Final
- The Lab Final will be a Take Home Lab Final that consists of six "show your work" problems relating to the various labs we have completed this term.
- Showing your work on these problems is critical! Be clear in your steps, circle final answers, etc.
- Use your old lab reports to help conquer the questions in the Lab Final.
- The Lab Final will be available by 8 AM Monday, December 11 via an email link (check your email!)
