The DCC - June 29th, 2021
Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2021 1:34 pm
Welcome to the DCC!
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post in the DCC Discussion Thread.
How To Play
How does this card-making game work? It's simple! Whenever your card receives a vote, you receive [1] point for the month. If your card ends up with the most votes for that day, you will receive [2] additional points for the month. In the event of a tie, each person who tied receives [1] additional point. At the end of each month, the person with the most points on the scoreboard wins that month, then the scoreboard is cleared for the next month. You can participate in as many or as few days as you want in any month.
Rules
- Each day you may post any card you want. On the next day all of the posted cards will be put into the thread as long as your card didn't get disqualified - see the next point for more details. If you post more than one card in a DCC thread, only the first card you post will be taken.
- When you vote, you need to make exactly two votes for two different people. Vote for the cards that are listed in the first post, not other cards being posted in the thread. If you notice that you've only voted for one person, include your second vote in a post, even if you're not submitting a card.
- If you want to change your vote for any reason, post that change in the day's thread (you can include it with your card if you want). Changed votes in the discussion thread will be ignored.
- Voting for only one person, for three or more people, or for yourself will earn you an asterisk by your name in the monthly leaderboard. So will failing to vote if you've posted a card. (We're not going to do anything about people who don't vote or post cards; that would be kind of silly.) This indicates that you're on probation for the next 21 days. If you're on probation and you make another improper vote, your card will be disqualified. Repeated disqualification is grounds for warnings and/or infractions for not following the game rules, so please don't do it.
- Voting for everything in the poll will be grounds for a lifetime ban from the DCC. Don't do it. It just wastes the thread creators' time.
- If you wish to post a render, please use the hyperlink option when posting your card and make the card name the image link. Renders are usually large enough to clog up the list, so submit a text-formed card and (optionally) a link in the name to the render.
- This thread is just for your card submission. Take your questions/comments to our discussion thread. If it's a question, comment, or complaint about probation, PM void_nothing and/or the month's DCC organizer.
- When posting make sure that:
- You have included all of the previous day's entries.
- You update the leaderboard with the previous day's scores.
Notes of the Day
We have a ionic bond when the difference of electronegativity between the two bonded atoms is high enough (higher than 1.8-1.9) that the bonding electrons aren't shared but there is a complete electron transfer between the atoms: the more electronegative atom gives one or more valence electrons to the less electronegative atom, with the former becoming a positive ion and the latter a negative one. Then the bond between the two ions, the ionic bond, is essentially an electrostatic attraction, governed by Coulomb's law. This might sound familiar if you remember the talk about salts from a few days ago. In fact, all salts have ionic bonds. Coulomb's force doesn't work in just one direction, but it does in every direction of the 3D space. As a result, ionic compunds aren't linear or planar, but they have a 3D cell of alternating ions that repeates indefinitely along all the three axis of 3D space. The result is called a "crystalline reticule" (usual literal translation from Italian, "reticolo cristallino"). As an example we have already seen NaCl: Na loses one electron becoming a positive ion, and Cl takes that electron becoming a negative ion. The electrostatic attraction between those ions generates a cubic crystalline reticule. There are other shapes possible, but now we don't have the time to see all of them. It's possible for a single compound to have more than one crystalline reticules. In geology, different minerals correspond to the different possible shapes.
