Parts of an Eq Constant
I noticed that in every example, the reactions and products are all (g), and considering that atmospheric pressure matters, Do the molecules for these reactions have to be gases?

Re: Ionic vs Covalent Bonds
I learned in high school that covalent bonds are generally stronger than ionic bonds, though I don't know the reason behind it.
I'm following this post to find out as well.

Lewis Structures
Are these 3d diagrams the actual shape of molecules? Or predictions?
I just find it fascinating how atoms and molecules are so minuscule, yet people were/are able to work out physical shape, predictions about electron position, bonding numbers, etc.

Re: Electron Spins [ENDORSED]
So this video at 5:09 tries to explain it. I was just in the middle of watching it when I saw your question.

I can't answer this, but I'm interested in knowing the answer as well.

"No two electrons are the same..." [ENDORSED]
In Wednesday lecture, Professor Lavelle said, "All electrons have different quantum numbers, and no two are the same," but does that pertain to the electrons within a singular atom or electrons throughout all atoms?

Re: Wave Properties of Light Post assessment#31
Typically, if the wavelength is smaller than 10^-15 m, it cannot be detected or experimentally verified in the lab.

general curiosity about atom stability [ENDORSED]
What is the most stable state for atoms? Does it depend on the atom, or is it always n=1?
Also, what is the highest n level that an atom can reach? Is there a limit due to the instability of the atom?
