Sav, you're right in terms of covalently bonding atoms to form stable atoms with 0 overall charge. Ions kinda disrupt that a bit, with such as H3O+ and HO- (the fundamentals of the pH scale of acidity) and others showing hydrogens in odd arrangements.
I wasn't aware of H3+, but... meh. Saying I know chemistry would be like saying that someone who knows that "nation" and "creation" rhyme is a poet.
(edit: Meh. Some 3AM grammar fixed.)
Well maybe it does exist. I don't know enough to contest much. However my organic chemistry teacher has warned about using the internet for any kind of research or as a knowledge base because there is a ton of junk stuff out there.
So you're wrong Hurkle! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Just kidding. I don't know. :D
Your Mummy told you not to cross the road without holding a hand, too, but as you grew up, you learned to keep track of your own safety. The internet is a great source of information, much of it authoritative, but you just have to know what you're doing. In terms of a teacher/class, that's good advice, because everything you'll need for that class will be in the textbook or other such authoritative dead-trees; but for the latest theories and such, a bit of googling can save you having to purchase someone's published paper. Actually, the thesis still might be no more accurate. The only difference between publishing to the web and publishing to the tree is that one of them costs a few more dollars...Quote:

Electronic journals are free (to make, not buy)! Unless, like me who feels the need to highlight important points/aimlessly, you print them out...Quote:
