Central atoms can have fewer than 8 atoms or more than 8 atoms depending on the circumstances. If an element has access to d-orbitals (group 3 and beyond), then there can be more than 8 electrons on the central atom.

When checking formal charge, bonds count as a single electron if you are not using the equation and just counting, but if you are trying to satisfy an octet, a single bond counts as two electrons for an atom.

Light has the characteristics of both a wave and a particle. A photon has a wavelength and also contains energy and can dislodge an electron from an atom with enough energy.

The negative charge of the lone pair electrons result in the repulsion of other electrons in the molecule. The repulsion creates the different bond angles.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

Polarity depends on the electronegativity difference. Ranges 0 - 0.4 is non-polar, 0.5 - 1.7 is polar, 1.7 < is ionic.

I'm not entirely sure but I believe the question if asking for the resonance structure with the lowest formal charge.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

The negative charge of the lone pair electrons repulse other negatively charged electrons in a molecule. This repulsion results in the various bond angles of a molecule.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

The negative charge of lone pair electrons causes repulsion with other electrons. This results in a greater angle in the shape of a molecule.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

Any atom can produce a double or triple bond if it contains enough electrons and if it would reduce the formal charge.

Roman numerals are a part of nomenclature for compounds when an ion can have multiple charges. The Roman numeral shows the charge of the ion.

The information provided was for the deBroglie wavelength. C=(Lambda)(Nu) is also used for things moving at the speed of light.

Lines should only be used for bonds while dots should only be used for lone pairs that are not bonded to another atom.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

The line in a covalent bond represents a shared atom while a line in an ionic bond represents an atom being borrowed completely.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

Since it is a caption there are more protons than electrons meaning the electrons feel the attraction of the positively charged protons more making the cation smaller.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

Cations have positive charges and give an electron while anions are negatively charged and receive an electron.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

I believe that as long as the valence electrons are correct then the order of the pair of lone electrons doesn’t matter.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

I believe that the d subshell must be completely filled first before it can move onto the next one.

Is the question asking where the positive lobe, negative lobe, and nodal planes are for the Px-, Py-, and Pz- orbitals? For example, for the Px-orbital the nodal plane is located through the z-plane, the positive lobe is located along the x-axis, and the negative lobe is located along the y-axis.

The Photoelectric Effect showed that light acts as both a wave and a particle. Increasing the intensity of the light did not remove an electron but increasing the lights energy did. This showed that each individual photon needs enough energy to remove an electron and the sheer amount of photons will...

in class we had an example of writing the electron configuration of Calcium and we were able to write it as: [Ar]4s^2... why are we able to use Argon to write the electron configuration? Argon is the noble gas before Calcium. Argon has a full valence shell, so using Argon summarizes the electron co...

Everything has a wavelength, but not every wavelength is detectable. The wavelength is so inconsequential that it cannot be detected.

During Friday's lecture about quantum mechanics, Dr. Lavelle said we should never use a certain equation for light. What is the equation and in what instances do we use it?

Adam Yaptangco 1D

A photon is a packet of light that does not have mass but it does have energy and momentum. A photon also has both wavelike and particle characteristics.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

The intensity of light is the amount of photons. That is why making a light more intense will not result in an electron being removed from an atom. Each individual photon needs enough energy to remove and electron.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

I would use SI units in the answer unless explicitly asked for a specific unit.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

In a combustion reaction CO2 and H2O will always be a product. From there you will be able to balance the equation like a normal equation.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

The value of the speed of light does change depending on the medium it is going through. For example light travels slower in water than in air. A vacuum is an area with no particles. An example of a vacuum is outer space.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

Theoretical yield is the amount of products the reactants will make under perfect conditions while the actual yield is the amount of products that the reaction produces. The discrepancies are caused by side reactions, reactants sticking to the flask, etc...

C is a constant that represents the speed of light in a vacuum. Light will constantly travel at this speed, but this is specifically for a vacuum. The speed of light can change through different mediums. An example of this would be the different speed of light traveling through water.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

Wavelength and Frequency do have an inverse relationship. The longer a wave is the less frequently it will repeat itself. If a wave repeats more frequently the length of the wave would be shortened.

Adam Yaptangco 1D

I believe that rounding up is correct as long as it is consistent. If the answer is relatively close I don't think there would be a problem.
