Under Construction ;-)

Last Updated 4/24/09

Chapter Reading Assignments in Zumdahl 5th/6th- Chapter 16.3, 16.4, 16.6, 16.7; parts of 16.5 (see assignments and Dr Su; as time allows )

Primary Activity/Homework/Resource - Crystalline Solids Activity Worksheet; this is to be done with the PC program below, but it can also be done with models or readings/pictures. I will have "mini lectures" to assist and you should ASK questions as you work through the structures.

Dr Su's Comments/Notes on this topic ( coming soon ?)

My Progress ( What are we working on ? )

Topics

Resources we will be using during this section of the course.

Crystalline Solids Program Installer ( 1.56 MB ) This program runs on Windows 98, 2000 and XP. You can also download from the Molecular Science Site.

If you run the Crystalline Solids and the program's display appears blank, you need to obtain the updated video card drivers that support the OpenGL graphics library. Download them from your computer manufacturer's website.

I helped develop the original version (UNIX) at UCLA as a graduate student and then we updated to this one during the MolSci and FLASH grants. I continue to think about ways to improve it. Ask me for the worksheet activity that is used for General College Chemistry.

Conducted by the FLASH consortium and hosted by the Molecular Science Project at UCLA.

Crystal Structures Structures of Simple Inorganic Solids Four Lectures online, one from an Inorganic course in England. More details than we are working on, but good images; similar terminology and approach; good reference section ( I use those books myself).
Crystal Structures Structures of Crystals CHIME plugin needed. So us Mac folks, do not feel too left out.
spinning puzzle pieceCrystal Structures Solid State Chem for Engineers Oh, cool! Chem 101 at Univ of Penn uses your Zumdahl and they use the same figures that I have shown you. Now I don't have to create a website. ;-)

  IF Time Allows, then we will....cover these below.  

Semiconductors and more

Band Theory Tutorial (Washington University)

You can ask me for a hard copy of the resource/website.

Semiconductors and more Short Band Theory Tutorials Beginner, Intermediate and Advance levels discussed. Take a look at Easy and Intermediate. Advance is "only for the brave" as the website states. =)
     
Periodic Prop. Periodic Table Data/Trends From MIT
     
     
     

Carbon


Fullerene Science Website

 

You can ask me for a hard copy of the resource.

Nanotubes and Buckyballs

 

     
     

MASTERING CHEMISTRY

You must create your own ID, ask me how to do it!

Problems (with Tutorials) and immediate feedback ( answers ). Self-Testing if you like!

Hosted by the MolSci Project at CSU-Fullerton.
