    1. Ion-Dipole Forces (these may not be true IMF, but we will call them IMFs) Dipole-Dipole Forces (between two polar molecules) Hydrogen Bonding (special type of dipole-dipole) Dipole-Induced Dipole (between polar and nonpolar molecules) Instantaneous Dipole-Induced Diploe (between two nonpolar molecules, often called London Dispersion Forces)

      Are these forces present in all states of matter?

    1. Bond polarity and ionic character increase with an increasing difference in electronegativity.

      Is the way we determine bond polarity similar to the way we determine electronegativity (simply by looking at the periodic table)?

    1. The more acidic the environment, the more zinc will be released in less time.

      Would the amount of acid in the stomach somewhat act as a catalyst in the situation? Since more zinc is released in less time, it seems as though the concept of a catalyst could be applied when addressing the amount of acid contained in the stomach at that time.

    1. the acid name will have an -ic ending

      Today in class you discussed a set of "rules" (for lack of a better term on my part) that help students navigate basic chemistry concepts. Would we consider this to be an indicator that will steer us in the right direction (specifically pertaining to how to name the polyatomic ion) or more of a set rule that will indefinitely dictate the name of the polyatomic ion?
