Purpose: The purpose of the lab was to investigate and demonstrate hydrogen bonding and London dispersion bonding in water and rubbing alcohol. Hypothesis: I believe water will have the greater surface tension because rubbing alcohol’s density is lower than water’s. Materials: * Water * Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) * Pennies * Paper clips * Flasks * Cups or jars * Wax paper * Eyedropper Procedures: Part 1: Surface tension and vortex: * Fill

Chemistry 30 Chemical Bonding – Properties of Molecules 1. For the following molecules determine which atoms are bonded (write the symbols with a bond between them)‚ the electronegativity difference between them‚ and the type of chemical bond it represents. If the bond is ionic‚ state what ions are produced. If the bond is polar covalent‚ indicate the direction of the dipole on the symbols from the first part. a) KCl Electronegativity difference = K - Cl = 0.8 - 3.0 = 2.2 ionic bond

This week we did a lot of things. When we came in on Monday we did a team bonding exercise. We first got into groups and elected a leader‚ recorder and timekeeper. The leader conducted interviews with us and everyone in the group got to know a little bit more about each other. The next activity we did was a human knot. We all has to join hands and then get untangled from each other. That activity made us get physically close but we had to communicate and we also laughed a lot. Anytime you laugh with

Literature review Covalent bonding is a bond when atoms share pairs of electron to become stable. For covalent bonding‚ two or more elements must have shared electrons. Atoms become stable by filling up their outermost shell with shared electrons. An atom can only have 8 electrons and that rule came from the Octet
