CHM 150 Wk 4 Discussion – Chemical Bonding

Week 4 Discussion

Here are the discussion topics for Week 4. As long as you otherwise meet all participation rules (see my Instructor Policies), you may respond to only Section A or only Section B, or both sections if you so choose.

Initial participation posts less than 200 words will not be considered substantive. Any follow-up posts, or your initial response to a second section, will need to be at least 100 words. Note that when evaluating word limit, only the main response made in your own words is counted, and not any direct quotes, citations, signature, or anything not directly linked to your post. Additionally, any remarks such as agreement, compliments, restatement, numerical analysis, table, chemical formulas and equations, etc., will also not be considered as part of substantive posts.

Due Thursday: Section 1 OR Section 2

Section 1: endothermic and exothermic

Provide some examples of endothermic and exothermic reactions you see in life. Why do they behave in this manner?

Section 2: Schrödinger’s cat

Do you think Schrödinger’s cat is dead or alive?
