the wonderful world of chemistry.. suppoesedly

well this morning i got in my car and i headed towards college. the scrubs theme tune playing.. its all good.. get to college and again have to circle around and around just to find a place to park at the college...

finally got a place to park and headed up the hill into the college then up the 3 flights of stairs to the 3rd floor!!! far too many stairs for that time in the morning!! got to class and sat with some new friends that ive made..

i'm in Chemistry this mornig incase it wasnt obvious!! got given out a book NC Chemistry!!! scary buiscuits i've never done chemistry before in my life!! i did biology when i was at school and no good at that!! anyway so we were given out this huge table which looked like double dutch to me but was revelad to be the periodic table!!!

full of lots of funky numbers and letters!! lets see if i can find an example.. god doing revision just with typing this up1!! i am impressed. ok ok itll have tobe later !!!!

anyway after i had discovered the world of the perodic table we did an experiment!!!

that was fun.. we were given a test tube and a bottle of sulphur and a bottle of iron bits? cant remmber what it was.. so we had to get 2 heaps of sulphur and 2 heaps of iron andthen heat it up on the bunsen burner i felt like i was back at school!! we burned it and noted the changes that happend!! it went bright orange!! it was that hot i thought the glass was going to break !!! so we wrapped that up .. and then we started to learn about the compounds within the table and forumlas¬!! check this out!! ok ok this is just notes so i can come back to it late if i forget !!!

The ending IDE usually indicates that the compound contains only two elemds.
the ending ITE compund also contains Oxygen
The ending ATE: compound also contains alot more Oxygen

one - mono two - di
three - tri four tetra
five penta six - hexa
seven - hepta eight - octa
nine - nona ( not sure if i spelt that one right)
Ten - Deca

did you know that

Iron Sulphide is - FeS
Iron Sulphite is - FeSO3
Iron Sulphate is - FeSO4

Octane is C8H18

and can i tell you that most of this just went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over my head!!!! so the end of the chemistry lesson came and we headed off for lunch in the rain!!! i got soaked!!

This was my morning.... we were told we would have a test soon in chemistry too.. i dont like all these test words!!!!! weve onyl been back 2 days and they already want to test us ARGH!!!!!!!!!
