General Chemistry....

....is such a spectator sport.

It's not like I pour sulfuric acid and I get to watch myself react with it in lab.

oh sorry.

Look it is not my fault that people get intimidated with stellar stats posted here and this forum needs to be stupefied
(Don't want to start on this again either such threads seem to have an amazing habit of degenerating into bashing of such people lately).

 

[ItsGavinC]

But this forum has been completely ruined by threads that are ridiculous.

This is NOT a comment directed towards blankguy.

Just an observation.

 

[blankguy]

Well, ya know depends on what you mean by "ridiculous". I just started this thread just to blow off some steam and get people to chill.

It also gets tiring if you respond to the same thing over and over which is what I see a lot of in this forum.

Then stop posting to this thread flong.

On a more serious note.
What's the difference between electronegativity and electron affinity?

 

[aphistis]

Same chemical property, two different names.

 

[blankguy]

I though they were slightly different.
Electron affinity is ability to attract electrons in a molecule
while electronegativity is ability to grab electrons from other atoms.

Right...which then forms what, class? That's right--a molecule.

Which makes the existance of aphistis possible.
Don't bother asking me how to writeout the molecular formula of aphistis

 

[aphistis]

Some water, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphate, sodium, potassium, etc., etc., etc., all thrown together just so.

Oh, and lots of hot air.

I agree, I think the best way to handle them is to post completely ridiculous answers.

You aphistis would not be possible if Carbons didn't catanize to form infinate chains of Carbons.

Hey are you Polar? What is your dipolar moment?

Oh I see. Throw gas into burning flame

Carbon atoms don't ionize when they polymerize. As for the polarity...well, some people might tell you I can get a little bipolar, but that's just near exams

One more thing:

Oh I see. Throw gas into burning flame

Pot, meet my friend Kettle.
