Okay, time for some review. If you had to guess, what state of matter is shown in this atomic force image? Hint: It is crystalline. You can tell because the bright spots (atoms) are in very ordered, symmetrical positions. Ask yourself: will this material hold its own shape or take on the shape of its container?

In addition to the topics listed, expect a quiz approximately every 2 to 3 weeks. It will not take the whole class period, and there may be opportunities for in-class review depending on student attitudes. The best way have success is to review labs, homework and reading before assigned tests. : )
