Self- Assessment -Chem11
Strengths and Weaknesses for each unit:
Atomic theory:
My strengths were writing the electron configurations and drawing the orbital diagram because with the method using the periodic table, it was much easier. My weakness for this unit was explaining the different concepts like why the ionization energy increases along the periodic table, next time I will use simpler terms to explain them.
Bonding:
My strength during the bonding unit was drawing the lewis and VESPR diagrams but only the ones with ONE central atom because it is much easier to first draw the lewis diagram then decide which VESPR shape it is. So my weakness is drawing VESPR diagrams with multiple central atom (2-3) because it’s a bit harder to see which shape they are with the lewis diagram.
The Mole:
This is my best unit so far, I think it’s because we get to use a calculator and all we need to do is decide how to write out the equation .But my weakness would be that I forget to write the units at the end sometimes.
