Research Topics

Here is a list of compounds; choose one compound and research its chemical formula, molecular structure, bonding type, everyday uses and impact on our lives. Also, what makes it important, and is it safe or dangerous; harmful, such as a pollutant; or beneficial, such as a requirement for maintaining our health. Consider the following when choosing a compound (Remember choose your groups with three members in a group):

• Chemical formula
• Molecular Structure
• Type of bonding
• Physical properties of the compound
• Chemical properties of the compound
• Uses of the compound
• Harms of the compound
