Chemical Formula: C3H8
Polarity: Non-Polar
Intermolecular Forces: When two molecules of propane come in contact with each other, the only intermolecular force is London dispersion force. A small dipole is formed because of a temporary uneven distribution of electrons.

THINK PROPANE!
Propane is a non-toxic, colorless and odorless gas. It can be transformed into a liquid which makes storage and transportation easy and cheap. Propane is found naturally in the ground and it is also a byproduct of petroleum oil refining and natural gas processing. Propane is a clean burning gas so it does not harm the environment. The cost of a gallon of propane is cheaper than home heating oil, diesel fuel, or gasoline.
The real advantage to propane is its versatility. Propane is used by farmers to dry their crops and heat their barns because it is non-toxic. Propane is used to fuel indoor machinery in warehouses because it is clean burning. Other common uses for propane is to fuel backyard grills, indoor fireplaces, appliances, and it can be used in furnaces. Propane even has fun uses including heating swimming pools, spas, and it is used to fill hot air balloons.
Environmentally clean, economical, and versatile.... What more could you ask for? Think Propane!
This blog is very well-designed. The text stands out nicely and is very easy to read. I like the brightness of the background and the picture behind the text. I like how the image of the molecule is the first thing you see, followed immediately by the info about it. The ad is then set off nicely from the earlier information, and it is obviously an advertisement, but it really captures my attention and makes me interested in reading it.
ReplyDeleteThe drawing of the molecule is very good, it looks like it has good bond angles and it is a good size - I can tell what I am looking at. I agree that the molecule is non-polar and is only attracted to itself by London dispersion forces. Finally, I think the ad is really well written. The pictures and headline bring my attention to it, and she did a good job mentioning organizing the ad - first she explained its basic properties, then how it is beneficial. I would definitely use propane after reading this ad.

ReplyDeleteThe general appearance of this blog is very nice. It gives the reader a feel for what the blog is about while it also looks very nice. The picture of the molecule is good, very easy to read, color-coded and accurate angle measurements. Trini also correctly identified that this molecule is non-polar and therefore only has London Dispersion Forces acting upon it. Her ad is excellent. The ad is set off from the rest of the blog and it was written well enough that it made me think that I should convert to propane.
