Mon-Day 2
Bio 3/6 - we reviewed the terms and processes that occur during aerobic respiration and then we looked at an experimental setup that could show, using chemical indicators, that carbon dioxide is produced via aerobic respiration.
AP Chem- We discussed periodic trends in electronegativity and related the factors that influence electronegativity to explain why metals and nonmetals always form oppositely charged ions that then form ionic bonds in a lattice of cations and anions, respectively.
We then discussed some trivial facts about various elements in the periodic table.
We then began our unit on chemical BONDING and intermolecular attractions.
We discussed the difference between a true bond and a mere intermolecular attraction and noted the different types of bonds and attractions, giving an example of each.
