Re: Strong Acids

Hi, I think we should know the difference between both the acids, the calculations will probably just be strong acids however we should be prepared to calculate weak acids just in case.

Re: Total Charge

In order to find this total charge, you would have to sum the charges of the transition metal and the ligands.

Re: Coordination Number

Hi! To find the coordination number, you count the number of atoms around the central atom.

Re: Coordination number

Hi! The coordination number is just the number of atoms attached to the central atom. However as someone stated, don't count lone pairs.

Re: Polar vs Nonpolar molecules

First step in determining if something is polar or nonpolar is drawing the lewis structure. Then you check for electronegativity , as stated below, if it doesn't cancel out then it is polar. It would help to also draw the 3D model to get a more closer look.

Are we required to know the bond dissociation energies of diatomic molecules? The table 3.3 on page 93 of the 6th edition gives a list but I dont know if we're required to memorize these.

Re: Determining Shape

I think its best to always draw the lewis structure so you can get the most accurate answer. This way you will be able to find the shape, lone pairs, etc..

Hi! Yes since ionization energies decrease from top to bottom within a group. For example, also Fluorine also has a high ionization energy. Also, Cesium is said to have the lowest ionization energy.

Re: Formal charge question

Hi! Yes I think that by determining the formal charge we are able to know and keep track of the electrons and thus it is important for predicting the reactivity. I think it is the best way to know if you have the most stable lewis structure.

Re: Ionic vs Covalent Bonds

Hi! So there are two types of atomic bonds, ionic and covalent. A covalent bond is two non metals bonding together. An example of a covalent bond is water (H2O). An ionic bond is when a cation (metal) bonds with a anion (nonmetal). An example of an ionic bond is NaCl. I hope this helped!

Re: Drawing Lewis Structures with Charges

Hi! So for drawing Lewis structures, you remove one electron for each + 1 charge, and add one electron for each -1 charge.

Re: color of light

Hi! According to the book, the color of light depends on its frequency and wavelength; long wavelength radiation has a lower frequency than short wavelength radiation (p6, edition6).

Re: Combustion Reactions.

Hi Gabby!
Dont even apologize! My high school chemistry class didn't teach me anything either so same. So to answer your question, combustion problems will always need O2 as a reactant and H2O and CO2 as the products. Then you just continue to balance the equation and so on. I hope this helped!

So, in g.mol ^-1 , the -1 is supposed to be the denominator, which turns out to be the same as g/mol. Really it just comes down to your pref...
