Have a look at The Bass Players Blog. How effective do you think the school is in  helping you to learn.

Look at the achievement standard AS 90308 “Describe the nature of structure and bonding in different subsatances”. Pay particular attention to the term “discuss”

Then read the article on the BBC website about nanotubes.

Click on comments and leave your answer to the question below. I will give feedback as to whether you’re answer is at achievemnt merit or excellence level. Feel free to import graphics or pictures to illustrate your answer.

Question:

Discuss why nanotubes have the properties described in the article.

In your discussion refer to the paricles, their arrangement and forces involved. (HINT atoms, covalent network)

you are an extremely bright bunch of potential Nobel Chemistry prizewinners and your rise to fame starts here.

Please let me know of specific areas that you are having difficulty with as you go through the end of year exam paper and the 2006 exam given out today. Add concerns as a comment

……..and don’t forget about structure and bonding. Very large protein molecules in glue made from milk (casein glue) were used to hold wooden world war 1 planes together. Snoopy’s wee plane is held together by Van der Waals forces

Pilots used to walk round the plane and smell it before taking off……a cheesy smell indicated it was time for a service!
