Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the possibility of charge induction in covalent solids, specifically mentioning materials like sand and zeolite. Participants explore the concept of charge induction and its applicability to covalent bonding structures.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant questions whether covalent solids such as sand and zeolite can be induced with charge.
  • Another participant suggests a practical example involving rubbing a glass rod with fur, potentially implying a method of charge induction.
  • There is a request for clarification on the initial question, indicating a lack of specificity in the responses.
  • Further exchanges express frustration over the clarity and coherence of the discussion, with participants seeking more precise communication regarding covalent solids.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the topic, with multiple viewpoints and a lack of clarity in responses contributing to ongoing debate.

Contextual Notes

The discussion reveals limitations in the specificity of terms used and the assumptions underlying the concept of charge induction in covalent solids.

what!
You'll have to be specific.
 
i'm specific with covalent solids

I'm glad someone is ... but I answered your question and you responded incoherently.
Was the answer really so surprising? Do you not understand it? Was there something wrong?
Or was the answer so great that you just had to type out an orgasmic "whaaaaaat..."?

I don't see how any of these could apply so you will have to tell me if you want to be clear.
