Polar molecules

-
Chemistry is a amazing and fascinating thing. So many things can come to mind when I think about Chemistry. One of the first things that come to mind first is polar molecules. Polar molecules are compounds that form polar covalent bonds. I find that these molecules are super cool and are so much fun to read about. Some examples of polar molecules are, water, ethanol, and sulfur dioxide. They get their name because they are slightly positively charged on one said, but negatively charged on the other. I find polar molecules so interesting because of how they can relate to the real world.
Polar molecules can often occur when electronegativity difference between bonds of two atoms. Electronegativity basically is the power to attract electrons. In the real world, polar molecules are used a lot more than I thought before looking into it. They are in H2O (water), which means they are much more necessary than I thought. Ethanol is also polar because it’s oxygen atoms help attract electrons to it. It does this because of their higher electronegativity than most other atoms within molecules. My last example is SO2 (sulfur dioxide). Sulfur dioxide is also polar because sulfur has an uneven distribution of atoms.
Now you know how important polar molecule elements can be. They are in many things we use on the daily. Without water being polar, it would be completely different. On earth, and any planet that has humans life forms, have polar molecules. They are in many things like sulfur dioxide and ethanol.

Mahar-ullah Shahminah- Molecular Gastronomy

Molecular Gastronomy   By: Shahminah Mahar-ullah Date:3/22/19 Molecular Gastronomy is both a fusion of science and cooking. The scientific discipline gives the chef complete control of what the texture, taste, and physical appearance of the dish. Molecular Gastronomy is a modern unique style of cooking that some would say it could be considered art. There are three aspects of Molecular Gastronomy, as i said before it is texture,taste,and physical appearance. Molecular Gastronomy can have a very simple and familiar taste or a new and unique taste. Taste is often a aspect that is forgotten about in Molecular Gastronomy. Mostly because people who don't know much about the style of cooking kinda forget that its actually cooking ,not just some form a science. Taste is the main focus with cooking in general and with molecular cooking taste can be brought to a whole new level since you have complete control over each part of the dish. Same goes for physical appearance and ...

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions

Chemically termolecular reactions: The fourth class of chemical reactions Maisy Chase Up until now only three classes of chemical reactions were known. Unimolecular reactions occur when one reactant undergoes bond breaking or forming to create different products. Bimolecular reactions are where two reactants collide and then undergo bond breaking or forming. Termolecular association reactions, where two reactants collide to form a whole with a new chemical bond between the two reactants. A third molecule, known as the bath gas, then removes some of the internal kinetic energy of that molecule to stabilize it. Researchers from Columbia University , led by Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Michael P. Burke, have discovered a fourth class of chemical reaction known as “chemically termolecular reactions.” This involves the breaking and bonding of three molecules. The team showed that these chemically termolecular reactions not only are major chemical pathways but also ...

Force and Motion

Zach Fluck Science blog Force and Motion Blog Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician, born on December 25, 1642. He died on March 20, 1727, most likely from mercury poisoning or old age. However, during his life, he made several contributions to modern science and advanced our understanding of physics tremendously. Arguably his most famous discovery was gravity. However, he had to use his 3 laws of motion to make this accomplishment. Newton understood that an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted on by unbalanced forces. Therefore, if an object such as an apple is in a resting position there must be a force to make the apple fall to the ground. He discovered this invisible force to be gravity. At a young age Newton was removed from school to be a farmhand. Despite returning to school the turning point in his live was he left his hometown to attend Cambridge University. After attending Cambridge he returned to his hometown where his observat...
