Element Expert

CHM 1025C Student must learn the first week of class the correct spelling and the chemical symbol for all the elements in Table 3.3 on page 47 of the Hein textbook.  Part of the first exam in Week Two (M-1i Part B) the student will write either the name or symbol for 40 of these elements.

For 4 points toward the student’s final grade, the student will either:

1.       Create a set of flash cards with the 47 elements to be shown to the instructor on M-1i Exam Day or

2.       Go to:

and complete the online flash card exercise with a score of 45 or better for 4 points; 40-44 for 3 points; 36-40 for 2 points; 32-35 for 1 point. The student may attempt this exercises as many time as it take to be proficient in spelling the elements.
