You will be researching an assigned or chosen compound. If you would like to trade with another student, or
you have a different compound you'd like to research and it's not already being done by another student, that
is fine with me. That said, I will need to be told prior to any switching so that I can make sure it's an
acceptable change.
Requirements (SO FAR – WE MAY HAVE TO ADJUST THESE TO REFLECT WHAT YOU CAN
ACTUALLY FIND – here’s a useful site from me: http://www.chemspider.com/Search.aspx and one from
Yana Thompson: http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ )
Note – this list is written compound/molecule for simplicity. VOCAB: A MOLECULE is the smallest
part of a compound that has the physical and chemical properties of that compound.
