As a start, language has dichotomy, it can be divided into competence and performance regarding Chomsky's appreciation. Competence refers to a psychological system, not a set of conventions in a community of speakers. It is the individual speaker's knowledge of their system, while performance is the actual use of language. This suggests that the ability to make judgments of grammaticality is one thing, and performance is another. The former depends on competence. We all make occasional performance errors of various types, such as repetitions or stops by hesitations. The causes are multifarious.

Scientific models used to explain why and how atoms form molecules:

• Lewis dot structure

Valence bond theory describes a covalent bond as the overlap of half-filled atomic orbitals (each containing a single electron) that yield a pair of electrons shared between the two bonded atoms. According to valence bond theory, a covalent bond results when two conditions are met: (1) an orbital on one atom overlaps an orbital on a second atom and (2) the single electrons in each orbital combine to form an electron pair.

• Molecular orbital theory

model that describes the behavior of electrons delocalized throughout a molecule in terms of the combination of atomic wave functions. It describes the distribution of electrons in molecules in much... Continue reading "Atomic Models, Periodic Trends, and Chemical Bonding" »
