   HEY! Mkay so I’m doing my homework the question is what is the correlation between electronegativity and ionic character. I’m not really sure..aaaaah!

   heyy ms skinner. i have a question…when you say that you have to store hydrogen peroxide in a brown bottle casue it reacts when light hits it, how come it doesn’t when you open the bottle??

   Hey Audrey
   I’m not exactly sure, but I think that it’s not a sudden reaction. The brown bottle is used to filter out light.

   How much hydrogen would a bottle of hydrogen peroxide produce if all of it were exposed to sunlight?

   How fast will hydrogen peroxide separate into its different elements when light hits it?

   i have found it very interesting about how electrons share and steal and gain electrons from each other i never knew this was going on how awesome and enlightening ha

   well…my question is sort of dumb but it’s kinda bothering me. At the last study session you taught us a little trick going from group 17-15 is 1-3 but then there is that subtract 10 thing??? are they both dealing with valance electrons?? (just asking because of the dot notation thing)

   while we are all on the hydrogen peroxide thing… will it ruin if you open up the bottle i mean like shelby said i dont think its sudden but would every bit in the bottle be affected in some way?

    what is the difference between polar and non-polar covalent bonding?

    Well Nikki… The atoms that are included in Polar covalent bonds are pretty equal in size, and neither of the atoms over-power each other. In nonpolar covalent bonds, one atom is a lot stronger and it pulls harder on the smaller atom than the smaller one pulls on it. Wow.. not sure if that made sense! But I hope it helped… :]

    can someone explain to me the octet rule?

    To answere Nikkie’s question, nonpolar covalent bonds share electrons equally and polar covalent bonds don’t share them equally.

    Ok Trey:

    there are polar covalent and non-polar covalent bonds.

    the answer to ashleys question is chemmial bonding that results from the electrical attraction btween cations and anions.

    what is the difference btween chemical and molecular bonds?

    JD: a chemical formula indicates the relative numbers of atoms of each kind in a chemical compound by using atomic symbols and numerical subscripts.
    a molecular formula shows the types and numbers of atoms combined in a single molecule or molecular compound.

    Mika:some of it would be the part that gets hit by the light but the part that doesnt i think would not be affected.

    Jake:
    The octet rule states that an atom will gain, lose or share electrons in order to receive a full outer energy level (8 electrons)

    Rob: Bond strength is how attracted atoms are to each other. Bond strength depends on two things bond energy and bond lengths.

    polar covalent is when the electrons are shared unevenly and nonpolar covalent is when the electrons are shared evenly

    well its a day late i completely forgot to post with the project this weekend but you never know i might get some credit for this post =) sry i missed the due date..
    so something to do with the class… o i know, how does the molecular bond determine the state of matter? liquid gas solid..

    to answer Whitney’s last question…
    Covalent bonds are formed between either:
    Nonmetals & Nonmetals
    or
    Nonmetals & Metaloids
