Well, the inactivity does say that I haven't had the time to go around online to read up interesting sites of late. BUT viola, so I was looking around and I thought this really is quite interesting:

Remember how we talked about the solid state of covalent compounds is ordered, and that the molecules are held together in "fixed positions" by intermolecular forces. Now, ice crystals is really one of the really unique substances on earth that demonstrates how when these interactions change, a change of the macro structure can be observed. And really, it's a nice beautiful world out there :)
