Re: Calculating Velocity

Make sure you know the Difference!!!
p=mv is for the velocity of a photon, he will usually give you the momentum.

Re: Why HF is a weaker acid than HCl

Because there is no O present, think of it as simple terms. H attached to an F that is small in radius is going to have a short bond, But CLs radius is bigger so longer bond, more easily broke, more acidic.

Re: Why HClO2 is a stronger acid than HBrO2?

HBrO2 I believe is actually stronger because the O will pull the Br away from the H more so then the O will pull the Cl away from the H. Always the more electro neg atom is the strongest acid.

Re: Strength of Acids vs. Number of Oxygens

It increases because the longer the bond, the weaker the bond, and when it deprotonates, the solution will have the strong acidic solution

Re: Regions of Electron Desnity

One thing I got confused on with this is when there is just one lone electron, lets say there is 41 electrons total and every element has an octet, you don't count the lone electron as a region of electron density, I believe you just ignore it, unless I am mistaken.

Re: Types of intramolecular forces

The way I mentally do these types of problems is process of elimination. First I see if it has AX4, and all the Xs are the same element. Right away I know its non polar. All non polar molecules are induced dipole-dipole. If this is not the case, I always start by looking at the Lewis structure and s...

Re: Polar Molecules

The way that I mentally do this is in my head add up all the valence electrons, then divide by 8. If the total number of v-electrons is not a factor of 8, there must be Lone pairs. When ever you have 1 pair of lone pairs, the molecule will be polar. Be careful because some lone pairs can surround mo...

Re: Dissociation energy

The dissociation energy is the energy required to break a bond. The greater the bond strength the greater the dissociation energy must be. This is a way to look at the dissociation E as a positive value. I think of it as going from weak (small value) to a strong (large value) bond. Weak -> big atomi...

Re: Planar vs Pyramidal

A trigonal planar has 3 bonding regions while trigonal pyramidal has 4. Also if there are 2 pairs of LP electrons they are not necessarily opposite to each other because the 3 surfaces you can put them on are all "neighboring" so when you visualize this, keep this in mind that although the...

Re: Change in Energy

Think " Energy is released as you go towards the Nucleus", the change in E is negative. Also Delta E = Ef - Ei so if you are going from N=3 to N=1, Delta E= 1 - 3 = -2
