Melissa asked:

First one issued 25 years ago at a coupon rate of 7% and the second 5 years ago also at a coupon rate of 7%. Both bonds have terms of 30 years and face values of $1,000. The interest rate on these today is at 10%.

Justin T asked:

Could those bonds have been used for debt financing of schools or public safety? Or will the city recoup the opportunity cost through taxes, fees, and parking revenues? How are bonds issued?

Gina G asked:

Hi all,
My chemistry teacher is very vague in explaining things and I don’t quite understand his method behind saying that covalent bonds are week, I thought they were very strong..
I always thought in terms of strenght it was:
covalentmetallicionichydrogen bondingdipole-dipoledispersion forces or am I way off?

I also have difficulty trying to identify network solids and metallic bonds at times, are there any tricks to remembering them?

I wish my chemistry teacher would be better at explaining this stuff….

Thanks so much for any input!
