Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde, H2CO, is a colorless gas that consists of two hydrogen, a carbon, and an oxygen. As shown in the diagram the carbon (C) is the central atom with two hydrogen (H) and one oxygen (O) hanging off of it. The oxygen double bonds to the carbon and still has two unshared pairs of electrons left over, as shown below.

The overall appearance of the site is great. Very easy to navigate. You explained the polarity well and correctly as well as the forces of attraction. I also thought the ad was very cute and definitely made me wanna buy some :)
ReplyDeletethis blog is extremely professional and well put together.
ReplyDelete1. i agree with all of the chemistry that was presented in the blog. the molecule is polar and the bonds are also polar
2. the information is well organized and visually aesthetic.
3. the captions on the pictures of the lewis structure made the diagrams easy to understand and gave the correct information
4. the ad gave the blog a personal touch and also explained correctly how formaldehyde can be used in real life.
5. Overall the blog is excellent, however some areas could be more detailed.
