Polar Bears and Penguins
This week we learned about polarity and corrected two worksheets on isomers, organic molecules, and Lewis dot structures. We worked on this comic which explained polarity and electonegativity using polar bears and penguins. Ice cream scoops represented electrons. A big block of ice was shaped like the periodic table with polar bears and penguins to represent the amount of electronegativity, so a big polar bear was in the top right corner because fluorine has the highest electronegativity and a small penguin was in the lower left corner to represent cesium, the element with the lowest electronegativity. We had to answer questions on a worksheet. The comic sort of helped me understand the concept more.
