Grasping the abstract models chemists use to understand what holds a molecule together its bonding is one of the major goals of the general chemistry course I am teaching this semester. Understanding the bonding in a molecule is the key to...
I was away at a conference last week. One of those great small conferences where you can spend a lot of time interacting with people outside of the talks. It was great. I'm convinced the best science is discussed over beer and wine. I titled this blog post...
