Re: 11.45 Part C
Also, you may want to check your calculations because it's supposed to be Cl2 = 8.2*10^4 and F2= 3.2*10^4. Additionally based on these results it is seen that Cl2 has the largest number making it more stable.

Re: 11.45 Part C
Fluorine is small and has more lone pairs than Cl. Eventhough fluorine may have a high electronegativity, it loses its electrons a lot easier than Cl due to being an almost completed octet.

Re: Tips on studying
I also find the practice old midterms and tests in the course reader to be helpful because it shows how Lavelle has phrased questions about certain topics in the past.

Re: Page 159 course reader
I think it has to do with the sentence before it, " cations from groups 1 and 2 do not affect ph" and Na is in group 1 and can not generate the [H30+] and [H30+] needs to be there for the ph to calculated.

oh, that answer was just for the first part but you do calculate Q and K the same.

Re: How to display polar dipole moments in VSEPR model
The arrows show the direction of the dipole moments. If it's nonpolar the dipole moments cancel, you can think of it as the electron replusion, if there's repulsion it's polar and if there's attraction it's nonpolar because it cancels out the dipole moment. You can draw it to double check.

Re: Quick Question about SO4
Isn't the most stable structure an average of them all?
I know that you can't calculate a formal charge of a molecule because you need to add them all up to see what the total formal charge is. You calculate it by element.

Re: Writing e- configurations of atoms
Cu and Cr are just the two e- configuration exceptions we have to know. They do not follow the normal guide of the periodic table. if you look at the e- configuration of zinc its 3d^10s^2. In the chemical principles book, when you open the textbook the periodic table has the e- configurations for al...

Re: Seesaw Structure question
What I understand about the VSEPR model is that it always you to take into consideration the lone pairs. Lone pairs on the Lewis structure cause the shape to change. It's not a simple move as placing the electron on top, the structures take into account the repulsion and polarity of the molecule. I ...

Re: Formal Charge
I think in order to calculate formal charge you have to first draw our the Lewis structure so that you can see the lone pairs and the bonds.

Re: Should velocity always be in m.s. when solving? [ENDORSED]
In past problems, I want to say that you have to change the units because it is commonly in m*s.

Re: Energy in kj or j when solving a problem?
I think it has to be changed to Joules always because when we cancel units for energy we are left with J, and if we leave it in kj we have to change the rest of the other units to get the kj in the final answer.

You use the 144 pm to times it by 2 which is because of the fact that the diameter is which the radius. After you convert it to the right units and etc.

In order to get diameter, you have to times the radius by 2 because its twice the radius. that's where the 2 came from

Re: Mantissa
I believe that it is the number before the x 10^(insert a number). So simply for example 2.5 would be the mantissa in the answer 2.5 *10^5.

When using the constant C
i know today in lecture that Professor Lavelle defined c as 3.00*10^8 however in the book its 2.99* 10^8 and I was wondering if this mattered during tests if we used either one of them.

Re: Exercise E1 [ENDORSED]
I believe that you have to change the units of 144 pm to meters first, then times it by 2. Using that answer you have to times it by 1.0 mole (6.0221*10^23) and finally, remember to convert your meters to kilometers.
