Paris Hilton & Oprah battle it out over the Periodic Table

I've finally converted my bonding unit lecture notes to powerpoint so I can attach them to my website. In order to explain electronegativity, I compared atoms with high electronegativity (they want to take electrons from other atoms) to Paris Hilton and atoms with low electronegativity (they want to give away electrons) to Oprah. (I have another slide using Donald Trump and Mother Theresa, but fewer and fewer students know who Mother Theresa was.) I have found it so much easier to get my notes together and update them having this equipment.
