The Tuesday Thread

[Verbal]

That's right folks, it's Tuesday!

Yeah, I know it's not very exciting, but I FINALLY had something good happen this week!

So what is everyone else doing tonight? Someone HAS to have something exciting to say...

 

[Matty-Bass]

Well if you can tell me two similarities and differences between alkali metals and noble gases, I'll be happy! Even two similarities would be good. I can think of like 5 differences.

Grade 9 terminology, please :blushing:

Hmmm...it is Tuesday. Just got done eating supper...now just waiting til 8 when House comes on. Yeah baby...exciting night for me.

 

[Verbal]

Well I just got a call from a beautiful girl who I have only talked to once, and we had a great chat... which is amazing, because 1.) I don't get calls from girls, especially tall beautiful blonde ones, and 2.) I really don't talk on the phone at all.

So like, I'm happy!

AND, to top it all off, I'm going to go watch the old Star Wars movies from bed, with a can of Dr. Pepper.

That's right, I'm livin' the vida loca.

Grade 9 terminology, please :blushing:

They are on opposite sides of the periodic table. noble gases don't reacte. Noble gases don't have a charge (err.. I think that is right). Noble gases have a full valence level. etc. etc. (By the way, the grade 9 provincial exams are extremely easy)

Well.. today is good because I got a chem test back, which went quite well. As well as there is only a few days left until Christmas break!

Oh.. and congrats Verbal on your day!

 

[Matty-Bass]

right on! Ya I know they'll be easy for us smarties :mrgreen:

I got that they are on opposite sides of the table and that neither of them has an ion to gain. because noble gases are inert and the alkali metals have an ion to give. hehe, listening to charlie browns christmas soundtrack right now, Peanuts.

 

[Verbal]

Oh.. and congrats Verbal on your day!

Thanks :mrgreen:

[Matty-Bass]

[Verbal]

[EmilyM]

lol, silly high-schoolers... I was done in the first week of December.

Me too!

My day wasn't so exciting, but I won't get into it, so don't worry

Glad you had a good day Verbal!

 

[Peanuts]

Hmm.. well then. So the states got of 2 weeks ago? Lucky!

 

[Matty-Bass]

4 weeks off??? Unfair! Plus I'm not in high school yet. Grade 9 isn't high school in Canada. It's grades 10-12 are high school

 

[Verbal]

Thank you Emily! And the colleges around her get out really early, so that's why I'm off so early. The high schools got out late last week, I think. And that sucks Matty! Do they call it Junior High then, or Middle School?

 

[Peanuts]

Good old (not really old) Junior High. I think we only have Junior High out west here. I know that Southern Ontario's high school is grades 9-12. Or shall I say.. "9th - 12th grade"? :er:
