Alcohols are polar compounds with the oxygen atom bearing a partial negative charge and both the carbon atom and hydrogen atom bonded to it bearing partial positive charges.

Alcohols have higher boiling points than alkanes with the same or a similar number of electrons, because alcohols are polar and can associate in the liquid state by hydrogen bonding as depicted for ethanol in figure 19.4.

Is the REAL @swedenish* free yet??
Hmm hmm lets check
Nope.. 😔😔
I should start a blog posting every day like “is swedenish username free yet?” The answers gonna be no until I die, methinks 😣

The assignment was due days ago so I was gonna take the F (sorry Kendall! it’s the anxiety of being late 😔) but Monty tagged me <3 and I’d do anything for Monty
i don’t know who’s already done this but i’m tagging friends <3 template is below :) @by-moonflower @theloveinc @boosyboo9206 @osaurimiya @imlevis @madisnorm @tteokdoroki

it's 12:30 am and i am thinking about water smiling like an idiot it's charged but only slightly isn't that silly and the ball and stick model with out the sticks looks really funny and surface tension and big scary ocean with flapping animals in it and I water cooking so cool so

Amines are polar compounds, and primary and secondary amines associate by intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) are a promising alternative to traditional silicon-based solar cells because of their high power-conversion efficiency and low cost. However, one of the major challenges in their development has been achieving long-term stability. Recently, a research team from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) made a breakthrough by developing an innovative multifunctional and non-volatile additive which can improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells by modulating perovskite film growth. This simple and effective strategy has great potential for facilitating the commercialisation of PVSCs.
"This type of multifunctional additive can be generally used to make different perovskite compositions for fabricating highly efficient and stable perovskite solar cells. The high-quality perovskite films will enable the upscaling of large-area solar panels," explained Professor Alex Jen Kwan-yue, Lee Shau Kee Chair Professor of Materials Science and Director of the Hong Kong Institute for Clean Energy at CityU, who led the study.
PVSCs have attracted significant attention due to their impressive solar power conversion efficiency (PCE). Since perovskites can be deposited from solutions onto the fabrication surfaces, PVSCs have the potential to be applied in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), wearable devices, and solar farm applications. However, the efficiency and stability are still affected by the severe energy loss associated with defects embedded at the interfaces and grain boundaries of the perovskites. Therefore, the intrinsic quality of perovskite film plays a critical role in determining the achievable efficiency and stability of PVSCs.

This is illustrated in figure 16.16, which shows the uniform distribution of the outer bonding electrons in pentane.

to me, you’re hydrogen because you are my number 1 - ♦️
if im hydrogen then you must be oxygen, nitrogen, or flourine, because our bond is super strong ^^

Went to a workshop on how to write the literature rescue for my thesis and now my stress levels are through the roof. I already feel so behind.
We had a useless year phd student who has done, as far as I can tell, absolutely nothing for the last two years while also constantly increasing my workload by skipping out on her own admin commitments and dealing group meetings. As a result I’ve had to spend the last two months (where I should have been at home recording from covid) at work doing including and training for four new masters students and one new PhD student because it turns out she literally does not know anything about our field. She could not show an undergrad first year how to use our software to do an entry level task. She cannot answer questions like “what are you studying and how are you studying it?”
I’m very tired and I feel extremely behind because I’ve been doing this shit instead of my PhD, and I’m only just now starting to figure out exactly how much I should have already been doing.
I hate her and I’m so fucking glad she quit. Enjoy failing your second year milestone because you decided to spend two years fucking around and ignoring every single piece of actionable feedback we gave you.
