substances and their properties and reactions

we got our atomic structure test back today which i found really hard but it turns out i did pretty well so i'm pretty chuffed! chemistry's going well at the moment however i know that the mole test is going to kill me. ah well.

it bothers me that whilst i'm typing this i can't find the button to change the font, where has it gone?! if this publishes in times new roman i will be very upset, but i guess i'll have to put up with it.

life at the moment is very much like chemistry. people are atoms and have their specific set of characteristics and mannerisms, in other words their properties. they'll either get on with you, and bond with you in a good kind of chemical reaction, or you won't get on at all and there'll be a chemical reaction of the wrong sort. tightly knit friends are covalently bonded, those who get on pretty well but aren't as close could be ionic, and then after that weak intermolecular bonds. those that are metallically bonded within friendships can put up with loads of stress because they can be hammered and stretched and still be a pefect example of a metal once the rocky period is over.

then there's the delocalised electron that tries to please everyone but never really belongs to a specific atom. no one really notices it's importance within the strucutre because they're too busy chatting to their fellow lattice atoms, but without the delocalised electron, many things such as the ability to carry charge(or in human sense, the carrying or exchange of an important message or vital information or something like that) cannot happen.

it is only at this point that the delocalised electron is finally recognised and missed.

yesterday was the worst day yet.
