2.01 Bonding Metaphor<img src="$IMS-CC-FILEBASE$../resources/metaphor-diagram_5723a06a7869e.jpg" width="298" height="187" style="float: right; margin: 10px;" id="tme_imgModEnabled" title="" /> Do you know what a metaphor is?If you're unsure what a metaphor is here is a link to a definition,<a class="sExtlink-processed" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline-width: 0px; word-wrap: normal; word-break: normal;" href="http://literarydevices.net/metaphor/">http://literarydevices.net/metaphor/</a>. My metaphor for ionic and covalent bonds is an umbrella. If you have one umbrella and two people, if you have a covalent bond, the two people walk down the street sharing the umbrella, and it could be equally shared like a nonpolar covalent bond, or shared unequally as if it were a polar covalent bond. If the umbrella were representing an ionic bond it wouldn't be shared at all. On the discussion board below write your own metaphor for ionic and covalent bonding. Respond to at least one of your peers.
