Day 5- Summative Assessment- Individual Take Home Project

You are a chemist attending a very important conference and are going against one of
your coworkers. Your coworker believes that there is not one that is the key to understanding
chemical reactions. You as a talented chemist know that this is nurture, and to get the promotion
you have been looking for, must prove him wrong at this conference. Your task is to create a lab
(typed) about electronegativity that includes the history of the concept, what it is, how it is
connected to bonding with the use of examples (at least three for each type of bonding), and
intermolecular reactions. Your reports should be accurate, show calculations, and organized so
you can prove to your boss that you should be promoted
