2. Why is the ability to draw a Lewis structure considered a core chemistry skill?

3. Draw the Lewis structure for hydrogen, the simplest molecule and explain the drawing.

4. Draw the Lewis structure for PCl3, phosphorus trichloride, the chemical used commercially to prepare insecticides and flame retardants. Explain the drawing.

5. Draw the Lewis structure for HCN, which has a triple bond. Explain the drawing.

The examples given in the “Exam paper Checklist” attached is by no means exhaustive, and are serving to give a basic idea of what you want to research. You can choose any kind of topic that is going to LINK BACK TO THE IDEA OF:

– What’s the roles of firms in the society?
– How can you use the models that are presented?
– How can you think about innovation and pathways for the future?

Identify and discuss ; problems, effectiveness, roles , aspect, weakness and other issues or challenges identified within your own case study.

What is described as the principal threat to biodiversity as the global economy and human population grows? Is economic growth necessarily bad for our planet?

In your Case Assignment, you reviewed many pieces of evidence and developed your own conclusions about the relationship between human activities and global climate change.

Now review the conclusions that have been drawn by NASA regarding this information at NASA Climate

Part I:

A Closer Look at the Evidence For the first part of this assignment, answer these questions using the NASA website:

Describe the graph on the NASA website. What does it show us about the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere? According to the following site.

what recent event contributed to the rising carbon dioxide levels? Met Office The supporting data on climate change are grouped into different categories on the NASA website. How are these groups labeled? Is there agreement on these categories between the NASA website and the UK website (Met Office).

Summarize the effects of climate change listed here in one paragraph. Be sure to address the effect of climate change on our weather and water resources.

Part II:

How Can Economic Growth Become Part of the Solution? Read the following article then answer the questions below:

Now answer the following questions regarding economic growth and climate change discussed in this article in paragraph format.

How does economic growth negatively impact other species?

What is described as the principal threat to biodiversity as the global economy and human population grows? Is economic growth necessarily bad for our planet?

What points suggest that economic growth can benefit biodiversity?

Have you seen this kind of difference in communication style between men and women? How can this gender gap in communication be bridged?

It is often said that big differences exist in the way in which men and women communicate.

Based on your research and understanding, answer the following questions:

Have you seen this kind of difference in communication style between men and women? Provide examples.
How can this gender gap in communication be bridged?

Explain when each species became extinct and the suspected reason(s) that led to the extinction.

Case Part I:

Geologic History of Earth The first part of this assignment requires that you consider the history of extinction on our planet. From the Sam Noble Museum,

Answer the following questions:

How many major mass extinction periods are listed here? Follow the links from that page to learn more about each period.

What caused each, and which major groups of species disappeared from each period?

Conduct a library or web search and find two examples of an extinct species (can be plant, animal, insect).

Explain when each species became extinct and the suspected reason(s) that led to the extinction.

Case Part II:

Global Climate Change Scientists have concerns that human activities are changing our environment at rapid rates that could result in a sixth mass extinction.

Let’s examine the evidence:

Review the “Recent, Past and Present” section from Mass Extinctions. Also review the following link from the NASA website: https://climate.nasa.gov/causes/ Define greenhouse effect.

Describe which gases are important to the greenhouse effect.

What were listed as human activities related to greenhouse gas production from each link? How do humans contribute to both climate change and major extinction events?

Some scientists think that human activities may be contributing to a sixth mass extinction event. What specific evidence do they site for this possible event?

In a film review, focus on the leadership growth and development of the character.

What strengths does the character demonstrate indicative of leadership potential?

What situations and events enable the character to develop those strengths?

In what ways does the character reflect on his or her development?

As a result, how does the character make a difference in his or her own life and the lives of others?

Part 2: Strength of Self

Based on what you have learned in this course, reflect on your own strengths and your development as a reflective practitioner.

How will your leadership change?

How will each of your strengths contribute to this transformation?

What will you do with your new knowledge?
