Write On Orderliness

Over the past few weeks we have studied the Periodic Table of Elements. You have looked at the organization of this table in many ways including spiral, long form and standard. The information you can derive and the predictions we can make from this table will be the basis for our study of Chemistry. In fact it was the first thing distributed to you because of its importance. Many people find its development and versaltility the key to all of Chemistry. Some chemists say "if you truly understand the Periodic Table, you understand all of Chemistry". As an individual project, please explain the this reference that allows scientists to view such a simple table as such a valuable tool.

It Matters

Throughout the past few weeks we have been exploring the various states of matter, how they are structured and how they react. This essay is to explain matter's forms. Be sure to include how gases respond to a change in conditions, how solids are structured as well as all molecules, how liquids are affected by the colloidal properties of solutes and how the kinetic theory of matter relates all states of matter as well as any other pertinent information you feel is important.

This essay is meant to help you correlate and organize what we covered as well as convince me that you understand some of the important ideas of matter. Please limit this to four double spaced word processed pages.
