A. Atoms:
- Nucleus = Protons + Neutrons
- Electrons float outside
- E^- (electron) have specific amount of energy
- Electrons have allowed energy levels
o S: 2
o P: 6
o D: 10
o F: 14
- Electron Bands:
o 1s (2)
o 2s (2)
o 2p (6)
o 3s (2)
o 3p (6)
o 3d (10)
- Lowest energy state is desirable for e^-.
- Energy levels & bands like to be filled.
B. Salts:
- NaCl
o Na: 1s (2) , 2s (2) , 2p (6) [sum of 10 because 2+2+6]
, 3s (2) 3p(6) [sum of 17 because 2+2+6+2+6
(missing one) = 17]
o Cl: 1s (2) , 2s (2) , 2p (6) [sum of 10 because
2+2+6] , 3s (2) 3p(6) [sum of 17 because
2+2+6+2+6 (missing one) = 17]

Thermometers:
A. Candy/Oil/Jelly Thermometer:
a. Remains in the substance as the temperature increases (at
time sporadic, not gradual increases)
B. Meat Thermometer:
a. Used to be made of glass, but are now made of metal
b. Used to contain mercury, now contain alcohol
c. 110-180 F
C. Oven Thermometer:
a. 150-500 F
D. Grill Thermometers
E. Refrigerator/Freezer Thermometer

 Thermometers can be Analog or Digital

Thermometers can be Instant Read or Leave-In
Bacon Cheat Code:
o Paint bacon with maple syrup and put in oven (so it gets an
equal cook on both sides rather than putting it on the
frying pan) this ensures that the maple syrup doesnt
burn as much as it would on the frying pan
Making Tea in Denver short story on how its easy to do some
things, but not in all places Were not making tea in Denver.
Salt water freezes at lower temperature than regular water. Ice cubes
with salt in them freeze at lower temperatures than regular water ice
cubes. Salt ice cubes are used in water with ice cream. This is how ice
cream makers maintain temperatures lower than 32 F.
