Week 3 of August

In chem 1, we learned all about how to naming compounds, ions, and etc. It was all so confusing at first. While doing seatwork, it was so troubling because I didn’t get the rules because they were so many of them. Becase, what do you mean by the prefixes -ite, -ide, -ate and so on! I wracked my brains trying to answer our seatwork. I hope I can understand it better the next week😇😇

Week 4 of August

lmbgarcia22 — 2024-08-30 23:58:43 UTC

As the month of august is coming to an end, I have splendid news to tell ! I think i’ve upgraded my learnings about Chem. I understand it more na, hehe, kaysa sa last week. What ma’am carren discussed this week was all about naming acids and bases! It was easy naming bases, but for acid… I think I got the hang of it naman XD.

Other sections were so flabbergasted na may quiz na 50+ items! And me, na makalimutin, panicked, without knowing na tapos na kami sa seatwork na yun😋😋 At this point, i’ll just imagine that Chemistry is equal to potions class in hogwarts🫠🫠

Week 1 of September

lmbgarcia22 — 2024-09-06 09:31:02 UTC

This week, we didn’t have any discussions with Ma’am Carren. But, we had a lab experiment and a library work which helped us learn all about certain reactions in Chemistry! 🙀 There’s combustion, where reactants react w/ oxygen and create energy in the form of light and heat. Combination, where two reactants produce to make 1 compound! And otherwise, Decomposition, a compound decomposes to form 2 or more reactants. For single-replacement, I can’t think of anything besides a love story 😞 it’s like, there’s this couple who broke up and the man’s bestfriend took the man’s girl and now they started dating. 🫡 Orr, pwede rin man dahil sa electron affinty(?) that’s what I remember during grade 8. For double-replacement, the ions of two ionic compounds switch. That’s all for week 1 of september 😁 i’ll study for chem next week and that’s a promise. Supernova kinda reminds me of chemistry.

2nd week of September

maam carren what if nalagay ko na yung lesson this week last week HAHAHHA ok so liek, nagstudy gid ko for chem quiz yah, oemgee ang hirap😞😞 gi combine tana lahat 🥲 pero next week pa naman e continue. planning to consult next week !! 🫶 (sakit sa mata ang mga equations sa Chem, but I love love love love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ the teacher :333 IM STUCK WITH CHEM THATS WHY STUCK W U ANG SONG HAHAHAHAHA 😭😭 til grade 12 sguro lolololol 😎😎😎 (MAAM CARREN HINDI NAKO KAYA WALANG GUIDE SA IBABA NG PERIODIC TABLE)

So go ahead, drive me insane

ang sinabi ni ariana grande ❤️

3rd week of September

lmbgarcia22 — 2024-09-21 14:27:23 UTC

This week, we discussed about stoichiometry — and i’m actually good at it (for once) also restudied the past topics because of the chem midterms next week😭 and I referenced my learnings from notes that were from SMC? hehe. got the link from somewhere and it’s actually rlly rlly rllyy useful !! understood a lot, especially sa polyatomic atoms which i didnt get before. For example — NICK, the BABY CAMEL ate an INCH CLAM and CREPES for SUPPER in PHOENIX.

the bold words r actually compounds that r hard to memorize! For you to determine what it is, first, you must count the consonants and vowels in the letter —

note. consonants = # of subscript of oxygen and vowels = # of charges of the compound

Ex.

NICK - NO₃^1-

BABY - BrO₃^1-

CAMEL - CO₃^2-

INCH - IO₃^1-

CLAM - ClO₃^1-

CREPES - CrO₄^2-

SUPPER - SO₄^2-

PHOENIX - PO₄3-

and the ate in the sentence is a reminder of their names !! of how they end in ate :))

im thankful for how we’re (lithium) so advanced in chem😭😭 becuz lihium was missing out sa ibang sections TR

anyways, see u nanaman next week padlet 🫶 (damo hirinuon next week, du ma bus g nako ahhahahahahahah. kaya ni, lagi’t lagi para sa bayan! 🇵🇭)

4th week of September

Time flies by so fast, 2 months na kami gina-turuan ni Ma’am Carren sa chemistry. hwjwja nag-midterms rin kami sa chem this week, kunti lang study ko (legit) kay sabi ng Cesium easy lang daw kuno. I didn’t expect na medium difficulty for a subject na nahihirapan talaga ako masyadooo. Gavwhw let’s hope this continues until i‘m a pro. And also, stoichiometry was a bit confusing at first, pero you’ll get the hang of it once you practice :3

1st week of October

lmbgarcia22 — 2024-10-27 10:14:36 UTC

I got sick :’( and thus couldnt afford to have lessons with ma’am carren!m. Nevertheless, happy teachers’ day, ma’am ca!

2nd Week of October

Exam week >:( kinda nervous kay nakalimutan ko lahat (kinda) due to my hospital absentism 🥲🥲 padayon

3rd Week of October

lmbgarcia22 — 2024-10-29 09:33:04 UTC

Stoich parin 😾 its ok, murag bag-o man topic pero under sya stoich which is the theoretical yield, percent yield, kag mga limiting reactants 💪 KAYA NI

4th week of October

Actually, du easy man lang tung oxidation rules 💪 bale, e remember mo lang ang important ones, which is: (1) the oxidation number of any uncombined element is 0; (4) The oxidation number of fluorine is always -1; (5) The oxidation number of oxygen is always -2 unless combined with Fluorine, in which case it is +1 and +2, or it is a peroxide it is -1; (6) Hydrogen’s oxidation state is always +1 unless combined w/ a metal in this case it is -1; (7) Elements of Group 1 and 2, as well as aluminum, have the oxidation numbers as +1,+2, and +3; and lastly, (8) The sum of oxidation numbers of all atoms in a compound is always their charge.
