Hydronium and Hydroxide ions are two completely different entities. When they combine, they chemically react to create two water molecules. So it is incorrect to refer to water as a hydroxide since the hydroxide ion itself is a single entity and the water molecule is a single entity. Ionic compounds like Salt (Sodium Chloride) are composed of a mix of separate entities of Sodium ions and Chloride Ions. There is no such thing as a Sodium Chloride molecule. If you try to put a Sodium ion adjacent to a Chloride ion, nothing chemically happens. They just draw towards each other for the charge. You will not obtain a single entity. It's two separate entities that are attracted to each other.
Pure water is pH neutral, whether it's one unit or one mole (1 mole approx. equal to 6.02E+23 units). It is a bonded molecule even though it can come from the reaction of ions of Hydronium and Hydroxide.
Since the alkanols are C_n H_2n+1 OH, H2O is the 0th alkanol. How would one extend the sequence meth-, eth-, prop-, but-, pent- back one? Is "nonanol" a suitable name?
No. Such chemicals require the existence of a Carbon atom.
"Hydrogen (I) Oxide" is a naming convention for ionic compounds. It is also incorrect because roman numerals are only used for transition metals since they are capable of carrying varying charges.
Also, it is actually H30+ + OH- --> 2H2O.
It's not a hydrogen ion but rather a hydronium ion. Hydrogen will NOT give up its lone electron.
Perhaps you've heard of it: a colorless,
odorless liquid; a powerful coolant and solvent; an easily-
synthesized compound which is used by industry, the military,
commercial operations, and even private individuals.
Yes, we are talking about hydrogen
hydroxide, also known as dihydrogen monoxide, and we are
here to tell you that what you've heard about DHMO is probably not
the whole truth. There are forces out there, such as the Coalition
to Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide, who would seek to legislate
its use and availability, placing heavy limitations on it-- and
eventually, eradicating it entirely.
In the interest of fairness, we invite you
to see their argument, and then we urge you to return here, to learn
the truth. Their subversive agenda must not be allowed to
prevail.
Hydrogen hydroxide is beneficial!
It has been shown that hydrogen hydroxide
enhances the functionality, growth, and health of many forms of
life-- including humans!-- and current research suggests that it
has become an integral part of our planet's ecological
balance.
Hydrogen hydroxide is environmentally safe!
Opponents of dihydrogen monoxide would have
you believe that it is some kind of uber-toxin, that it wreaks
caustic terror on anything it touches. This couldn't be farther
from the truth; when handled properly, it enhances nature rather
than destroys it, and even a worst-case scenario DHMO accident
would be a trifle for the natural cycles of our world to
handle.
Hydrogen hydroxide is benign!
The Coalition and others have popularized the
label "dihydrogen monoxide" over the more chemically-accurate
"hydrogen hydroxide" because they know how loaded the former name
is. "Monoxide" has become synonymous with pollution, toxic gases,
industrial waste-- and while hydrogen hydroxide is sometimes a
factor in these problems facing our world today, it is rarely the
dangerous element.
Hydrogen hydroxide occurs in nature!
To hear its naysayers' descriptions, one would
think hydrogen hydroxide was solely the product of industrial
technology; that it came from years of research in clandestine
labs. This is not the case! Hydrogen hydroxide has been a part of
nature longer than we have; what gives us the right to eliminate
it?
We need hydrogen hydroxide!
Don't let an
uneducated and terror-stricken mob of fanatics railroad you into
giving up your right to choose!
Support the use and
distribution of hydrogen hydroxide
in your neighborhood, city, state, and
country!
Di-Hydrogen Monoxide isn't the proper name for water. That would imply a H2 ion bonded to a O ion. IIRC, this is not correcct. It's been ten years since I took chemistry, but shouldn't it really be Hydrogen Hydroxide? (H bonded to OH)
Actually, no. This is a naming convention used for molecular compounds. That is, the adding of the prefixes to convey atom count. Water is not an ionic compound. "Dihygrogen" does not imply that the two hydrogen atoms are connected, just like Carbon Dioxide, where the two oxygen atoms are not connected.
Not all garage mechanics are knowledgable with computers.
I imagine that with mechanics having an existing schema for hardware (in this case, automobile hardware), I believe they should be able to accomodate computer technology into their schemas more easily.
I only hope that the spyware people don't go after the AdAware [lavasoftusa.com] or Spybot Search & Destroy [safer-networking.org] folks under the guise of the DMCA.
By your logic, spyware companies shoud also go after those who create drive formatting software.

Unfortunately, those higher ability students do not have teaching certificates.
Ok, Don't read too much into that statement. All I am saying is that smarter students should figure out how to lead the group rather than do all the work for them.
Currently enrolled in educational Psychology, mixing groups so that groups have diverse ability is the most efficient for the whole class that if groups were assigned by ability. Unfortunately, if groups were assigned by ability, only the high ability groups would benefit, while the low ability groups are more likely to stare at each other, doing nothing.
When a class is divided into groups, higher ability students should serve to educate the lower ability students. Unfortunately, those higher ability students do not have teaching certificates.
If you feel that lower ability students "admire" you because you are smart, I am assuming it is because they want you to do all the work for them. What you should do is accept the role as a group leader, but make it clear that your group mates must work for a grade. It is okay to help them out as long as you don't take over for them. You also must realize that you can't just throw facts at lower ability students. In order for them to understand a fact, they need to first build a foundation. What you can do is provide the proverbial cement mix, but they have to mix the proverbial cement mix and water.
But also remember that you should not make them do all the work. You can proof read, troubleshoot, and suggest room for improvement.
The big point is to make them admire you for helping them do something. If they realize that you made a difference in their knowledge, they will probably perceive you in a different light.
There are managers who try to do all the work. There are managers who sit on their asses all day with whip in one hand and a coffee mug in the other. There are bosses who help and provide constructive criticism. Guess which boss is the most effective.
If you want Albert Einstein, Jr. to become the Big Man On Campus. It's never going to happen. Kids will be cruel.
Instead, have your kid search out a peer who have similar academic goals. This friend should be someone who has a little more of a balance between high intelligence and social skills. Heck, I have a friend I have known since 5th grade (1993) who is much smarter (VERY intellectual) yet has more secure friendships than me.
Also, if your kid is the subject of torment, teach him to not let torment bother him/her. If bullies suddenly find it difficult to get their desired reaction, they will eventually have no reason to continue.
Homework assignment: Have your kid invite a peer who (s)he has been been on positive terms with to some event, say bowling for an hour or two on a Friday night. Unless your kid is a complete jackass to all peers, I am pretty sure there will be someone willing to spend some free time with him/her.
Actually, version 5 is based primarily on version 2, with a little of what worked in version 3. I agree that version 3 was a major dud, but if you change the skin to a classic skin in version 5, it is at least as functional as version 2. The reason I like it is its built-in CD Ripping support. Instability in version 5 is most likely to be attributed to the modern skin.
Coca Cola will begin selling 2 cans of Pepsi in each 12-pack, Pizza Hut will start offering Dominos Dots, McDonalds will begin asking "Would you like a Whopper with that?" and Ford Trucks will begin running on Volkswagen Bug engines.
I doubt AOL will let go of winamp. They've already pretty much ruined it, but im sure they still wanna keep it.
I disagree. Nullsoft has done a damn good job not caving in to the demands of AOL. It is for this reason that Winamp is the only "AOL product" that I will ever allow on my computer.
