Delocalized electrons are electrons in a molecule, ion or solid metal that are not associated with a single atom or a covalent bond. You will know if it is delocalized based on whether if it it is a resonance structure.

Acids and Bases will most likely be a big portion of a test because it is the only thing that we have been taught but haven't been tested on. Some things you should know is how to solve an ICE table in regards to acids and bases, how to find pH and pOH, conjugate acids and bases, and many more thing...

It is unlikely that this will be asked on the final, but if it is you would use PV=nRT to get the answer.

When writing the ionic equation, how does one know which molecules get split and which do not. For instance, why is (COOH) or H2O not split into different parts but NaOH is?

Tylor McGrew 1J

When being asked for the formula for oxalate, when can we write "ox" and when can we write "C2O4"?

Tylor McGrew 1J

How come for (CO3)2-, this is either monodentate or bidentate? When do we know, which type of polydentate it is going to be?

Tylor McGrew 1J

a) Tridentate ligand: This is because there are three Nitrogens in this structure that each have a lone pair. No other atoms have a lone pair. b) Mono or bidentate Ligand: This is because CO3 can bind to one or two oxygen atoms. c) Monodenate ligand: Even through oxygen has two lone pairs, the metal...

Do pi bonds only occur when there is a double or triple bond?
And if so, what is the reasoning for this? Like what makes this a pi bond and not a double sigma bond?

Tylor McGrew 1J

I am confused on what the terms equatorial and axial mean and how they refer to the structure of the molecule.

Tylor McGrew 1J

Why is it that some bond angles are not an exact number, but instead are "slightly less" than a certain example. For instance, why is O3's bond angle slightly less than 120 degrees rather than just 120 degrees?

Tylor McGrew 1J

I am confused as to when a Lewis Structure is identified as Tetrahedral or Trigonal Pyramid. Both have 4 bonds/lone pairs so how is one to know which is which?

Tylor McGrew 1J

For this midterm that we take we will not need to know the scientific names and will be given the molecular compounds. However, we will need to know the names of molecular compounds later on.

Tylor McGrew 1J

When solving this, just make sure to keep the elements in the parenthesis (NH2) together and to put the two Carbon atoms in the center of the structure. By using these "rules", you should be able to use the normal rules of Lewis structures to find this Lewis structure. (PS there will be no...

Kinetic Energy = (1/2)(9.109x10^-31 kg)(3.4x10^10)^2
= 5.3 x 10^-10 J/e
(5.3x10^-10) x (6.022 x 10^23) = 3.2 x 10^14 J/mol

Tylor McGrew 1J

When drawing Lewis structures of ionic bonds on an exam, do you think would we lose points for not having a plus or minus in the top right corner like Lavelle had in class even if we have the right dot structure? I believe you would be marked down for not including the plus or minus sign because wi...

Velocity itself is measure in meters per second. Therefore, one should typically convert all values of velocity to meters per second to solve an equation.

Tylor McGrew 1J

In simple terms, having a high accuracy is when you get near the desired point consistently. Having a high precision means you get the same results consistently, but it does not have to be near the desired point.

When adding and subtracting with sig figs, your final answer must be in the least amount of sig figs. For instance, if it is 9.9 -4.442, the answer would be 5.5 because 9.9 has the least amount of sig figs.

Tylor McGrew 1J

First, you need to find the amount of moles in each element. Because the question gives you only the grams of molecules you need to break the molecule down. With the case of CO2, you would break it down to find C. (You would break down Oxygen last because oxygen is also found in H2O.) To break CO2 d...

Tylor McGrew 1J

There really is no strict rule to follow when choosing an element to balance first, but like Dr. Lavelle stated, the elements with the least amount of moles are the easiest way to start. In this case, since there are 2 elements with the same amount of moles, I would start with the phosphorous becaus...
