Chapter 2 Reflection

During chapter 2 I did struggle understanding all of the different chemical bonds, compounds, and chemical reactions. I had to read each section a couple of times and take breaks between my notes. I also found a couple of good youtube videos that helped clarify the differences between the type of chemical bonds and chemical reactions. For example, ionic bonds can gain or lose electrons, while covalent bonds share electrons. Also, to remember the pH scale, my friend asked me how many cigarettes do you need to affect your lungs? I said I don't know, he said 1; 1 means very toxic on the pH scale. I didn't really think if helped me remember the pH scale until my other friend needed a way to remember which side is more acidic.
