  1. Gabby, overall the layout and appearance of your blog is creative and easy on the eyes. The way you separated each post made the blog easier to understand.
    The picture of the molecule on your blog seems to be correct based on what I know about molecules and their shapes. The picture is also clearly defined which enables the reader to differentiate between the different atoms.
    The polarity of the molecule is also correct, although your explanation could be a little more thorough and specific.
    With regards to the intermolecular force(s) that act on the molecule, you were correct in stating the London dispersion forces is the only ones that act on it.
    At first, I wasn't able to locate your ad because of its placement on your blog. I think that instead of placing it where you did, you should have just made a new post for it. However, you did efficiently used the physical characteristics of propane to convince the reader to buy your molecule. I think you could have broadened the statement about how propane is used for fuel, so the audience is able to recognize different opportunities where propane is useable.
    Overall, the blog is well-done.

  2. The appearance of your blog is very pleasing and easy to look at. The color scheme is appealing, and all the words are easy to read.
    As far as your picture goes, it was definitely correct as far as my knowledge on molecules and their structure goes. It was clearly labelled and it was easy to tell what was what.
    The polarity of this molecule is definitely correct in that it is non-polar, as the molecules are evenly spread out.
    I did find it a little difficult to find your ad as well, however when I did find it, I thought you did a great job in selling the product and I especially liked how you made up a telephone number to call.
    The intermolecular forces, or force in this case is most definitely correct. Overall this blog was attractive and informative and a fun learn!

  3. The light pastel colors of this blog immediately grabs the readers attention. The blog is full of interesting information and organized in a detailed manner.
    The ball and stick models and the lewis structures are demonstrated correctly. Both models were easy to comprehend, even giving a key for the ball and stick model.
    I also believe the molecule is non-polar, because like you said, there is an even disturbution of electrons.
    As far as intermolecular forces go, you were accurate in saying that if a molecule of propane was bonded to itself, only dispersion forces would be presented. This because propane is a non-polar molecule.
    On top of all this, your ad was very creative and persuasive. In addition, I liked the placement of it. With all its telephone number and key points, the ad seems like it would be in a magazine. Overall, this blog is very orignial and very detailed!
