Wednes-Day 2
AP Chem - we looked at covalent network bonding in C(diamond) and C(graphite), relating the bonding to physical properties such as electrical conductivity in graphite due to the delocalized pi electrons.
We then showed and discussed metallic bonding and the IMFA's that cause molecules to be solids at sufficiently low temperatures.
Tomorrow, we will understand phase diagrams, and what can be inferred about a substance from a phase diagram.
Bio - we gave a detailed account of each digestive organ with respect to its role in mechanical and/or chemical digestion; we discussed some diseases of the digestive system.
Here is a link to a "scientific study" about diet and weight gain. Using your powerful knowledge of the scientific reasoning, judge/assess the validity/reliability of this study:
