Re: Formal Charge
I believe that we should use the formal charge equation that was given to us in class instead.

Boron is an exception and is fine with only six valence electron in its outer shell.

Re: Electronegativity
I also believe that you would need to look at more properties other than electronegativity to determine the type of bond.

Re: 3.23 (meaning of oxidation)
In general, the oxidation state is the number of electrons an atom gains, loses, or shares when it forms a chemical bond. The maximum positive oxidation state for chlorine would be +7. While the maximum negative oxidation state for chlorine is -1.

Re: Difference between anions and cations?
Cations give up electrons in order to reach octet. Anions form ions that are larger than their original atoms. Also, anions are negatively charged ions, while cations are positively charged ions.

Re: Difference Between Equations
In the E=hv equation, v stands for the frequency of photons. However, for the equation E=1/2mv^2 the v stands for the velocity of an electron.

Re: The visible spectrum
A continuous spectrum is the emission of a continuous range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
A line spectrum shows a series of specific wavelengths of emitted light made when the visible part of light from excited atoms shine through a prism.

Re: 4b practice midterm
I believe that you have to use the De Broglie equation for this problem, since the wavelength is given for a moving electron in this problem, in order to get the correct answer.

Re: Hw problem 1.59 [ENDORSED]
You have to use E=hc/λ. Then, plug in the constants for h and c a and the given wavelength for lambda will get you the energy per photon.Next, you multiply by the given number of photons to get the total energy produced.

Re: Difference Between Equations [ENDORSED]
Basically, E=hc/λ is just the derived version of E=hv because v=c/λ.

Re: Test #2: Q6 [ENDORSED]
In addition, I also used E=hv and wavelength=c/v and came up with the same answer. But also using wavelenght=hc/E can work as well.

Re: Avogadro #
By definition avogadro's number is exactly 6.022 times 10^23. This constant is used in stoichoimetry. For instance, it is used to convert from moles to atoms. Such as multplying the molar mass by avagadro's number.

Re: Reactant vs. Reagent [ENDORSED]
Reactant and reagent are frequently used in chemistry problems. However, reagents are compounds that are added in order to check if a chemistry reaction will take place, and reactants is a substance involved in a chemistry reaction.

Re: G.5 part a [ENDORSED]
Agreed, in part a it states 2.15 mil which means millimole. So, the conversion factor is 1,000 millimoles in 1 mole.Thats why they used 2.15 x 10^-3.

Re: M.5
In order to determine how much of the excess reactant will be produced , you must use the mass of the limiting reactant. Next, subtract the original amount of the excess reactant at first by how much excess reactant was made.

Re: Which mass of oxygen should be used? [ENDORSED]
I’m sure you can use 16.00 for the mass of the oxygen. Either 15.99 or 16.00 are fairly close, but Dr. Lavelle used 16.00 in his example.
