Roald Hoffmann has had a career as an applied theoretical chemist and teacher for almost 50 years. He shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1981. Start on page 1632 with "Becoming a Chemist." Read until the end of page 1633. 1. According to Hoffmann, how is being a chemist like being an artist?

2. What are some of the skills, personal qualities, or philosophical ideas that could help someone to become a successful chemist? Use Hoffmann's statements to come up with a paragraph that answers this question?

Which element in the third period would you expect to have the larger atomic radius, sodium (na) or sulfur (s)? a. sodium, because it has a higher effective nuclear charge attracting electrons in fewer energy levels. b. sodium, because it has fewer protons attracting electrons in the same energy levels. c. sulfur, because it has more protons attracting electrons in more energy levels. d. sulfur, because it has a higher effective nuclear charge attracting electrons in the same energy levels.

98 points you will be galileo perform the experiment to determine if objects with different mass fall at the same, or different, rates in the air and in a vacuum. before you conduct your experiment, you need to form a hypothesis. a hypothesis is a prediction of what you think will happen in the experiment. the hypothesis is a statement that describes “if” a certain set of circumstances are present “then” there will be a specific result that will occur. record your hypothesis here: record the results from step one of the experiment (dropping the objects in the air): first trial: second trial: third trial: record the results from step two of the experiment (dropping the objects in a vacuum): first trial: second trial: third trial: did the experiment support your hypothesis? using the data from your experiment, describe why you believe your hypothesis was either proven or disproven. what forces were acting on the objects dropped in the air? what force was acting on the objects dropped in the vacuum? part two: comparing forces choose two forces and compare and contrast these forces. you must provide two ways that they are alike and two ways that they are different. you may make a list, write in paragraph form, or make a chart. choose two forces and compare and contrast these forces. these must be different forces than used in the prior question. provide two ways that they are similar and two ways that they are different. you may make a list, write it out, or make a chart.
