| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Jul 25 12:59AM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-03-13, and should be interpreted accordingly. On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty. Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup, based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days. All questions were written by members of 5 Easy Pieces and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see my 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". * Game 8, Round 7 - Science - Chemical Bonds Here is a round on the types of chemical bonds -- a real science round! 1. In the simplest of the chemical bonds, one or more electrons are equally shared by two nuclei. It can be single, double, triple, or higher, although this is rare. Name this type of bond. 2. In this type of bond, an electron is transferred, resulting in a negative charge in one atom and a positive in the other. The bond then results from the electrostatic charge between atoms. Name this type of bond. 3. In this type of bond, each atom donates one or more electrons to be shared. Each electron is free to associate with many atoms at once. The bond occurs due to the atoms being somewhat positively charged while the electrons are attracted to many atoms. Name the bond. 4. This type of bond is named for the element involved in it. It is a very strong bond due to the difference in electronegativities between the element and the others it is paired with. It is responsible for the high boiling temperatures of many liquids. Name the element. 5. A bent bond is a special type of bonding that accommodates a specific geometry. It is found in organic compounds. What fruit is also a name of this type of bond? 6. A peptide bond is formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one reacts with the amino group of another. This also causes what substance to be produced? Hint: The reaction is known as a condensation reaction. 7. This chemist and Vitamin C enthusiast developed the hybridization theory of bonding in 1931. Name him. Please decode the rot13 for questions #8-10 only after you have finished with the rest of the round. 8.

This British designer invented the cyclonic vacuum cleaner and bladeless fan. Who is he? 2. This renowned architect, a Toronto native, has famously designed radical public buildings that often look like balled-up crumpled paper. Who is he? 3. In 1948, General Motors chief stylist Harley Earl started a worldwide styling trend by putting this feature on one of GM's makes. What was it? 4. After World War II, this French dress designer shocked the fashion world with his new creations that featured long skirts called "The New Look". Who was he? 5. Jamie Reid, an English graphic designer, used the Dada "cut-up" concept to design numerous album covers associated with a new music trend in the 1970s. Name this music trend. 6. This French architect in the 1920s championed a futuristic city of identical skyscrapers in parks with separated auto and pedestrian traffic. He called this the Radiant City. Although never built, it influenced many North American public housing projects. Who was he? 7. What is the science of making products conform to human behavior and actions through study and collection of data to make them easier to use? 8. Two Chicago architects of the late 19th and early 20th centuries claim the title "Father of the Skyscraper". Name either one. 9. A new industrial design and architectural style expressing modernity emerged from Paris in the 1920s and was soon applied worldwide. What is it known as? 10. This clothing designer born in the Bronx in 1939 has built an international empire specializing in upscale sports clothes for men and women. He's also famous for his collection of vintage and rare automobiles. Who is he? -- Mark Brader | "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure, Toronto | nineteen pounds, nineteen, six, result happiness. msb@vex.net | Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure, | twenty pounds ought and six, result misery." | -- Mr. Micawber (Dickens: David Copperfield) My text in this article is in the public domain. |
