continuing to display and or use mascots that can be considered culturally offensive and borderline racist. As stated this has been an issue for quite some time but up until recently this issue has been continuously thrown into the national spotlight by the media. This issue has gained so much national attention that the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has adopted several policies that once implemented will combat the ongoing issue of racially offensive mascots being used.

Covalent Bonding In a covalent bond‚ a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms. Each of the positively charged nuclei is attracted to the same negatively charged pair of electrons. The diagram: A and B are held together by this shared attraction. Covalent bonds are often drawn as dots and crosses diagrams to show that the electrons have come from two different atoms. Molecules have a certain fixed number of atoms in them joined together by covalent bonds. Examples: Bonding in hydrogen

HYDROGEN BONDING: Hydrogen bonding is a bonding type consisting of dipole and dispersion forces. A hydrogen bond is the attractive force between a hydrogen atom attached to a molecule and an atom of a different molecule. According to the Pauling scale of electro-negativities of the elements‚ it can be viewed that the three most electronegative elements in the periodical table are nitrogen‚ oxygen and fluorine. These are also called heteroatoms. The heteroatoms have a partial negative charge while

WASHINGTON REDSKINS The Native American Mascot Controversy By Anna Yang Origin of “Redskin” The origin of the word "redskin" is debated. According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED)‚ the term "redskin" came from the reddish skin color of some Native Americans‚ as in the terms red Indian and red man. The OED cites instances of its usage in English dating back to the 17th century and cites a use of red in reference to skin color from 1587. Multiple theories fight for prominence as to the

Intermolecular Bonding Essay Write an essay on intermolecular bonding. Explain how each type of bond arises and the evidence for the existence of each. Comment on their strengths in relation to the types of atoms involved; the covalent bond and relative to each other. Use the concepts of different types and strengths of intermolecular bonds to explain the following: There exists four types of intermolecular bonding‚ they include ionic‚ covalent‚ Van der waals and hydrogen bonding. In order to describe

Purpose: The purpose of the lab was to investigate and demonstrate hydrogen bonding and London dispersion bonding in water and rubbing alcohol. Hypothesis: I believe water will have the greater surface tension because rubbing alcohol’s density is lower than water’s. Materials: * Water * Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) * Pennies * Paper clips * Flasks * Cups or jars * Wax paper * Eyedropper Procedures: Part 1: Surface tension and vortex: * Fill

Chemistry 30 Chemical Bonding – Properties of Molecules 1. For the following molecules determine which atoms are bonded (write the symbols with a bond between them)‚ the electronegativity difference between them‚ and the type of chemical bond it represents. If the bond is ionic‚ state what ions are produced. If the bond is polar covalent‚ indicate the direction of the dipole on the symbols from the first part. a) KCl Electronegativity difference = K - Cl = 0.8 - 3.0 = 2.2 ionic bond
