Recently, we have been working with the electromagnetic spectrum. We did an experiment in class with the spectrometer. We then graphed the data. I'm glad we did a pie chart of all the colors of the visible spectrum, which is RADIOWAVES, MICROWAVES, INFRARED, RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET, ULTRAVIOLET, X-RAYS, GAMMA RAYS... We also learned how to name type I and type II binary ionic compounds, such as Iron (II) Fluoride which FeF2.
On Tuesday, we conducted a lab to see which compounds would conduct and which would not. The substances that conducted electricity were metals, and were bonded ionic-ly. Substances with covalent bonds did not conduct electricity, specifically wax and sugar. We also tested to see if the substances would dissolve in water. Most of my predictions were correct, but not perfect.
Emily has visited 7th period. I plan to visit her in first period one day. :D
