in the test you can use either bent or angular becuase they are interchangeable

one has to realize that there are 5 regions of electron density which would usually be 120 and 90 degrees but since two of these are lon pairs it makes the angles smaller because the lone pairs push the bonds away.

a shell contains orbitals (subshells)
for example in the second shell there is the s orbital and the p orbital
shell correlated to the period and subshells to the blocks

not really, lewis acid is pretty much like a bronsted acid but juse deifned in a different way and same goes with lewis base and bronsted base a lewis acid is one that accepts electrons and the base donates an eelctron a bronsted acid donates a proton which technically means there is a more negative...

the question is : COpper is used widely in electrical wiring due to its high electrical conductivity and malleability. The threshold energy or "work fucntion" of the copper atom is 7.52 *10^{-19} J . What is the maximum wavelength of light (lowest energy) you need to shine onto copper meta...

im confused as how to go on about this question Potassium permangante, KMnO_{4} , is an organic chemical compound used for cleaning wounds. 5.00 g of KMnO_{4} is dissolved in a 150.00 mL flask of water. If 20.00 mL of this solution is removed and placed in a new 2nd 250.00 mL flask and filled with w...

what is the difference between these two numbers and how do we find them ?

How do you know which are radicals?

radicals are those that have odd number of valence electrons

Amanda 1A wrote:is there a rule to know when some atoms are okay with having less than 8 electrons? or should we just memorize some of them and hope for the best?

i think it is just memorization but its basically just group 13 and H, He, Li, Be

victoriatanaka1C wrote:And just to clarify, the elements that can break the octet rule are H, He, Li, Be, Column 13 and Row 3 and below?

yes, group 13 can have less than 8 valence elctrons and period 3 and under can have more than 8 valence electrons

lithium carbonate, $Li_{2}CO_{3}$ , is a salt which is used for the treatment of bipolar disorder. A solution of lithium carbonate is prepared by dissolving 2.00 g of salt to 1.00 L water.
A. what is the concentration of lithium ions for the above solution?

Andrea Raymundo 1B

kinda a old question but i was still confused on how to solve this question and also are there any other similar question like these in the book ? One industrial application of anelectrolyte solution is electroplating of metals. In this process, an aqueous solution of metal ions is prepared and elec...

not sure if you were confused on this too but when given a lewis structure, a single bond is a sigma bond while double and triple bonds are pi bonds :)

when one of those regions is lone pair or pairs, is it basically the same thing but just with > or < ?

Andrea Raymundo 1B

i was told that when there is one lone pair, the angles between the lone pair and the atom would be >109.5 and the angles between two atoms would be <109.5 .

Andrea Raymundo 1B

the only way that it would be bent if the central atom had two lone pairs. with three long pairs you can kinda picture it like a trigonal bipyramidal, the three lone pairs are 120 degrees from one another leaving the two other atoms being directly across from each other (180 degrees)

Andrea Raymundo 1B

could anyone explain to me what the differences are between diople-dipole forces, london forces, ion-dipole, and hydrogen bonding?! How could we identify them when given molecular substances? Like in question 6.1

Andrea Raymundo 1B

for the final are we expected to just knowthe balmer and lyman series or also the paschen, brackett, and pfund series??

Andrea Raymundo 1B

Im not sure if i remember there being a mention of oxidation and reduction, would it be something mentioned on the final

Andrea Raymundo 1B

i would usually expect it to be [Kr] 5s^{2}4d^{8} but I looked this up online and it said that it is [Kr] 4d^{10} beacause it is most stable. I remember professor Lavelle mentioning something similiar but when it would be d^{4} or d^{^{9}} but is d^{8} another exception or is the exception just pall...

17.35 asks to determine if the isomers of diaminobenzene can form chelating complexes and similarly 17.36 asks to ligands do you expect to form chelating complexes, how is one supposed to determine that from just looking at the pictures ??

Andrea Raymundo 1B

I am not sure if i heard right but when figuring out how many hybridization orbitals one has to use, is it the same as the number of regions of electron desnities??

Andrea Raymundo 1B

A represents the central atoms, X represents the numebr of atoms bonded to the central atom, and E is the number of long pairs. For example, CF_{4} has a VSEPR formula of AX_{4} , there is the 4 as subscript on the X becuase there are 4 Fs bonded to C. Another example (with lone pairs) could be XeF_...

part A asks to find whether $CH_{2}Cl_{2}$ is polar or nonpolar, do we find out based on the Lewis Structure or the actually shape of the molecule.

Andrea Raymundo 1B

$E_{p}\alpha -(\alpha _{1}\alpha_{2})/r^{6}$
could anyone please explain what this is exactly and like how do we use it

Electron affinity is a measure of energy change when an electron is added while electronegativity is how attracted an atom is to electrons. While electron affinity is increasing, electronegativity is decreasing since as an atom is less attractive to electrons, it requires more energy to add an elec...

Q: A cotton ball soaked in CaCl_{2} is lit on fire. The flame is a dark orange color (\lambda =630.nm) . A scientist claims that the color arises from the transition of an electron from its excited state to its ground state. What is the difference in energy between these two states? Help?? I...

15. In the ultraviolet spectrum of atomic hydrogen, a line is observed at 102.6 nm. Determine the values of n for the initial and final energy levels of the electron during the emission of energy that leads to this spectral line.

How would one know like where to start and which equation to use??
