Strong Acids: HCl,HBr,HI,H2SO4,HClO4,HClO3, HNO3
Strong Bases: LiOH,NaOH,KOH,RbOH,CsOH,Ca(OH)2,Sr(OH)2,Ba(OH)2
These are the strongest acids and bases, which is dependent on the composition.

It has a greater electronegativity and higher electron density which makes it more ionic.

There is a list of all the shapes and arrangements of chemicals, there is a difference between shape and arrangement which depends on the amount of lone pairs attached and atoms in a formula. This list has helped me differentiate between the two: https://www.google.com/search?q=molecular+shapes&...

T-shape is made up of two lone pairs and three bonded elements to the central atom. Thus the arrangement would have to be similar to a trigonal pyramidal with two lone pairs, so the angles would be 90 degrees apart for the T-shape with two lone pairs attached.

Ismail 1F

Are you asking in regards to the composition of each bond as asked in the Final Practice Exam? In that case you would look at all the components attached to the bond in question to find out what makes up it's composition.

Ismail 1F

Orbitals are contained in subshells, they make up the number of electrons in an atom.

Ismail 1F

I think we need to know the difference between strong and weak acids, and what makes an acid weak.

Ismail 1F

An antibond works to weaken the bond between two atoms in order to raise the energy of the molecule as a whole. The density of the electrons builds up outside the bond to create a repulsive force between the atoms to separate them. I don't think we need to know this for the final, but hope it helps!

Ismail 1F

Calculate bond order by dividing the number of bonds between atoms by the total number of bond groups in the molecule after drawing the lewis structure.

Ismail 1F

The shape for ClO2+ lewis structure is bent considering the placement of the atoms around the central atom. Since, there are unbonded electrons attached to one side of the atom, this creates a trigonal planar arrangement. In this case shape and arrangement are different and both are provided as an a...

Ismail 1F

Draw out the lewis structure then count the total regions of high electron density around the central atom. These areas of high intensity include unbonded electrons and bonds.

Ismail 1F

With energy levels, make sure to take note which level each orbital is on depending on the location of the element on the periodic table.

Ismail 1F

Well a pi bond forms when there is overlap of p orbitals, would not work with s orbital.

Ismail 1F

Depending on the type of group it has attached, you can tell whether it is acidic or basic, as well as the number of hydrogens a formula has.

Ismail 1F

The shapes we've looked at in class are linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral.

Ismail 1F

The form is a tetrahedral but since it has unpaired electrons, it is considered a bent shape.

Ismail 1F

A natural explanation is the way geckos can climb on upright surfaces. There are fluctuations in charge distributions between neighboring molecules, which don't have to be polar, and their charge fluctuations naturally fall into synch, creating an attractive force.

Ismail 1F

Yes, you can use Avogadro's number to convert to formula units.

Ismail 1F

The 4s orbitals fill first and have a lower energy than 3d, so the 4s needs to be filled first.

Ismail 1F

Atomic radius is the size of its atoms, usually the mean and typical distance from the center of the nucleus to the surrounding cloud of electrons. Ionic radius is the radius of an atom's ion. Ionic radii increase down a group and decrease across a period, whereas its the opposite for the atomic rad...

Ismail 1F

Yes, it pretty much means to find the amount of orbitals in a shape, which depends on the way the shape is oriented on a node (plane).

Ismail 1F

The atomic radius of an element depends on its location on the periodic table. In general, the more left you go on a certain period, the atomic radius will increasingly decrease. As you move downwards, the radius will increase in size, as electrons fill in valence shells. Hope that helps!

Ismail 1F

Yes, you can use that for shorthand. Any noble gas will work, as long as it is the closest one.

Ismail 1F

The significance of amplitude is that it measures the amount of energy a wave carries, so it will determine the intensity of a wave in comparison to other waves with different amplitudes. The higher the amplitude, the greater the intensity of the wave. Hope that helps!

Ismail 1F

I think we should know the ranges of each spectrum, such as the differences between visible and UV light, but I don't think we need to know the exact numbers for each color of visible light.

Ismail 1F

Yes, they are the same formula. Sometimes frequency is written in terms of speed formula.

Ismail 1F

It describes the relationship between electron-Volts(eV) with Joules(J), so this number is needed in order to convert eV to J.

Ismail 1F

The Photoelectric effect resulted from the results of the photoelectric experiment. The effect is when the electrons were ejected from a metal when the surface of the metal was exposed to ultraviolet radiation (Lavelle et.al, 153). The results were that the UV radiation had to be above a certain thr...

Ismail 1F

A vacuum is a region of space with nothing in it, so when an experiment is done in a vacuum, all the photons, air, and particles are removed from the region to create a space of nothing but pressure. The photoelectric experiment showed this effect of electrons being "ejected" from the metal.

Ismail 1F

Do we need to know how to find the electron configuration and will it need to be shorthand or not?

Ismail 1F

There are some indications of what the charges of certain ions are based on their composition or place on the periodic table. Those on the left (metals) are positive going +1,+2,+3 and those on the right (non-metals) are negative. However, I agree that there are some charges that do not adhere to th...

Ismail 1F

Try to do them step by step. As in working with one element at a time and taking into account how many atoms it has as a reactant and a product.
