There have been a number of sites added and annotated to help you to look over your exams which are being returned this week. Please look through them. The EASIEST way to do so is to click on the "EXPAND" button by each bookmark to see what comments I have made on each of them specific to this class. As you add your own comments/questions, you will see those appear there, as well.
Ask questions below, and remember to add any sites you stumble across!
Below is a screenshot of what you see if you click on the EXPAND button. The comment on top is my own note for why the page is useful. The green box has what I highlighted, and the yellow overlay box has my comments about that selection on the page. These annotations are all available on the actual website if you log in to your Diigo account (and have joined our group).
Covalency has to do with how polar/non-polar the bond is. The more equal a partnership, the more covalent the bond is. Thus: compare electronegativities. Metal/non-metal pairs form ionic (extreme of polar covalent to the point of being NOT covalent) bonds.
Try selecting various energy levels at the top of the applet. We have only talked about being in a single energy level at a time - thus deselect an energy level before selecting another one.
Note that this is how you would calculate ENC - Although the nucleus gets MORE positive down the PT, the ENC actually decreases! Not just the compensation part, but actually in it's entirety.
