Re: Bonds
I would think F2 has a stronger bond because the other two structures would be radicals since there is an uneven amount of electrons. I tried drawing the other two but couldn’t come up with anything other than radicals. Sorry and I hope this helps!

When creating and acid-base equation [ENDORSED]
I am confused on when forming an equation, how do I know as to what is formed from the reactants? Is there a general guideline as to how something will be produced in bronsted acids/bases? I understand that bronsted base will accept a proton while bronsted acid will donate a proton and what conjugat...

6th edition #12.19 [ENDORSED]
The concentration of HCl in hydrochloric acid is reduced to 12% of its initial value by dilution. What is the difference in the pH values of the two solutions?
In the solutions manual it has
DeltapH = -log(.12[HCl]/[HCl])
How do you know as to cancel out HCl as shown above?

How do you determine whether a compound is a bronsted base or acid?
a) NH3 b) HBr c)KOH d) H2SO3, e) Ca(OH)2
Are there any tips when deciding whether something is an acid or base (Bronsted)?

Re: Test 3
Test 3 covers: End of Bonding from 3.12 (6 Ed.) and from 2D (7 Ed.); and all of Molecular Shape and Structure (see Syllabus and Outlines for details).
So I believe that You are right about what was covered right after the midterm and right before we left for break but I’m not entirely sure.

As for the double bonds I just think that as you increase in bonds you have this pattern: 1 bond: 1 sigma bond Double bond: 1 sigma bond and 1 pi bond Triple bond: 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bond. (Found on the internet) This is because the extra orbitals are so close together ( triple bonds shorter than...

So as the definition states a pi bond is two orbitals, each with 1 e- overlap side-by-side. As a visualization I think of two vertical dumbbells with the orbits clashing together.

Re: Bond Length and Bond Strength
Yup!
Also, single bonds are considered the weakest because they are the longest. Following the weakest in strength, would be double bonds, then triple bonds and etc. because each bond has more electrons to pull/ share the electrons between molecules/ atoms.

Re: Interaction Potential Energy equation
polarizability depends on the number of electrons and size of atom or molecule, while the distance (r) increases as interaction decreases. (I'm not entirely sure how you can find r, but I'm pretty sure if it was in a question it might just be given or you might have to estimate it based on periodic ...

I believe that what your TA is trying to say by drawing 3px, 3py, and 3pz orbitals is by drawing a bell shaped on those axis. For instance, for 3px you will draw the bell shape on the x axis, 3py on the y axis, and 3pz on the z axis. These orbitals is where the electron will lie. After you draw the ...

Re: Resonance Structures
Usually, you want the formal charge to be on the outside atoms and not the central atom. So maybe just keep the resonance structures with the formal charge on the outside. Another rule that applies to formal charge is that the formal charge is found on the most electronegative atom of the molecule.

Yeah, it should be a whole number when you multiple it. If you get a decimal of some sort I believe it should be so close to a whole number value. Ex: 4.98-5.01 (would round up or round down respectively to get 5)
