8th GRADE HOMEWORK
Religion: Memorize Prayers: 5 from front of planner and the Prayer to Our Redeemer: Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within your wounds, hide me. Apart from you let me never be. From the enemy defend me. In the hour of my death, call me. And close to you bid me, that with your saints I may always be praising you eternally. Amen

6 Atomic Theories, theorists and facts
Structure of the atom:
Nucleus = protons with (+)charges and neutrons with no charge
electrons with (-)charges are located in clouds/levels
which orbit the nucleus, Valence electrons in outer level
max valence: 2 in 1st level, 8 in rest
stable atom: max # electrons in valence level
Atomic # = # of protons
Mass # = # of protons + # of neutrons
neutral atom: # of protons = # of neutrons = # of electrons
ion: # protons >/< # electrons has +/- charge
isotope: # protons >/< # neutrons
Periodic Table:
3 types of elements, their locations, group name and #
