Finding+Humor

__Finding humor:__

__My Understanding of this habit__ This habit literally means how positively you cope with careless mistakes or bad grades. This habit is also related to perseverance because only through humor shall we be optimistic and therefore more motivated.

__How I applied this habit to chemistry:__ On my Topic 2: Bonding Test, I lost one mark because I had not been specific enough when "stating the type of bonding in each structure." In one of the diagrams, I stated - Iodine: Covalent Bonding, which is definitely wrong since covalent bonding only occurs within molecules, whereas vanderwaal's (Must be mentioned) occurs between molecules. After receiving my test paper, I learned that you always can't be too general in providing an answer, and if you can be more specific and answer more than what the question wants. (If it doesn't use too much time of course) Similarly, the second mark was lost because of another careless mistake. On my answer I wrote "Water is an example of a hydrogen bond." This may seem right, but in reality when you break water up, hydrogen bonds only occur between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms, therefore to provide a more accurate answer I need to mention the bonds between the atoms. Overall, I learned that you always have to provide answers in a way that even the person grading your paper can clearly understand what your trying to say. (In other words, work on communication) Where I lost my first mark.
