Classroom Update:

By now you should easily be able to tell me:
-the number of valence electrons for certain elements
-the names of all of the groups on the periodic table (Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Transition Metals, Inner Transition Metals, Boron Group, Carbon Group, Nitrogen Group, Oxygen Group, Halogens, and Noble Gases)
-Identify if an ion is a cation or an anion and to predict its charge when it becomes these ions; otherwise known as the oxidation number
-Basic naming of compounds.

All of this information is in Chapter 20 in the Physical Science Text
