Lecture #11, Wednesday, April 21st

Today I covered pretty much all of the material up to and including REEL Labs #1 and #2. I still have a few more slides to cover pertaining to phase diagrams, but they should only take a few minutes at the beginning of class. The powerpoint lectures are posted in the content section on Carmen.

The REEL labs seem to have went very well this week with the exception of a few small glitches. I am hoping that from the time you walked into the door to the time you leave the lab you actually have a better grasp of the material. If we can accomplish that then we are doing our job as educators. If we are not accomplishing this please let me know as we will have to make some changes.

The next portion of the material will focus on color in transition metal complexes. We will discuss how our eyes detect color and what excitations are responsible for the color in various complexes such as complex ions and charge transfer salts.

Song Played Before Class:
Kevin Rudolf - I Made It (Ft. Birdman, Jay Sean & Lil Wayne) Cash Money Heroes
