MOLES R PWNAGE

oh nooes we gotta chem test on friday =O

we're being tested on lotsa info =( i hope i do well

we got:

covalent bonding, HONC1234
Lewis Dot Structures
the 5 categories of molecular geometry and their respective bond angles
the first 10 alkanes (methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), etc.
saturated vs unsaturated hydrocarbons
Naming binary covalent compounds
isomers
polarity of bonds (electronegativity differences)
polarity of molecules, and symmetry
how water dissolves salts
the three types of bonds
alloys
the seven polyatomic ions to memorize: ammonium (NH4+), hydroxide (OH-), etc. (see the back of the pink PPT packet)
the seven diatomic elements (BrINClHOF)
review questions from past material

i hope we i do well on it :3

today, we did sum kool things

we bent a stream of water without touching it o.O

betcha cant do that xD

we messed with electrons

this past week we learned about lewis dot diagrams

thanksgiving is coming =D

Chemical Bonds

We learned about chemical bonds and all the cool different ways covalent bonds come together

we have a test this fri =O
i hope to do well on it :3
the stuff we did are really interesting!
studying light is really fun
also, the how ions come together in bonds is really interesting too
i never knew how sugar dissolved or why the sea was so salty but from this week's lessons, i finally understand!

do u like to mess round with sum weird machines that u dunno anything about?
well i do
this week, we got to mess with different types of light waves and their wavelengths
we got to look at different colors and i though that was cool since we only used color water :3

FIREEEE!!! and lotsa pretty colors xD

so this week we messed with FIRE
and lotsa different elements!
it made l0tsa different colors
i recommend, on ur free time, burn stuff and look at all the colors

in chem class, theres a lot to say
so since theres so much to say, im not gonna write anything bout it! xD
one of my greatest passions is posting on this blog which no1 ever reads o_o

Ever wonder wut radioactivity is? Ever heard of the term half-life?
well, its actually rly interesting and i no now, but im nvr gonna tell u! xD

u ever hear ppl talkin bout 'gamma rays' or stuff like that?
ever wonder wut radiation is?
well guess wut, I KNOW AND IM NVR GONNA TELL U x3

Dry Ice

a lot of people have heard of dry ice before, but not many really know wut it is
dry ice is actually the SOLID form of CARBON DIOXIDE!
thats rite, it is SOLID AIR...kind of...
there r a lot of things u can do with it
u can make bombs with it =) or u could make bubbles that keep on growing or just make a lot of smoke or even weird noises
theres a lot of things u can do, but dont hold it for too long or u mite burn urself!

Element Tables...

hey ppl that i dont think i no =D
this is week has been soo stressful
we got 4 projects from history, 2 projects from english, daily hw from japanese and math, then I HAD TO WORRRY ABOUT CHEMMM CUZ WE WERE GOING OVER COMPLICATED IDEAS BOUT PERIODIC TABLES...=( buts its ok now cuz i think i get it....i hope

Learning About Elements

so we're finally learning bout elements and the periodic table
that stuff is really interesting, especially how they all fit in a chart
there r so many trends and patterns and gets me excited thinking bout how they all relate
it also makes me appreciate the things around me and makes me amazed how everything fits together

heyy ppl that actually read my posts o_O
soo we had this great lab again in chem class
we got to mess with fire again =]
this time, we burnt this metal wool and it made SPARKS =)=)=)=)
too bad nothing blew up....yet....i encourage ppl to mess with fire and try burning different things cuz burning this is FUNNN =D

Penny Lab

Any1 here like gold!?!?!?
Well did u know u can turn ur useless pennys into gold?
Atleast the coating....
all u need is some zinc and sodium chloride and LOTSA FIREEEEEEEE!!
well anyways its a cool thing to do with ur free time so google up the instructions and try it out!

My Goals

Sup people reading this... this is my first post and first time blogging.
So in this blog imma talk bout my goals.
Right now im living in the US and am in highschool.
So my biggest short term goals r getting good grades (4.0+) and graduating.
Then, of course i wanna get off to college!
im not really a planner and dont really have an idea on long term goals...but i definately know i atleast wanna get to Berkeley when i graduate and graduate college with more than just a BS (or BA depending on what i choose l8r on)
happy readings =)
