Re: What are dipole moments used for?

Yes that is correct. Dipole moments refer to the polarization of the electrons in a bond.

Re: Maximum amount of bonds

It depends on the element. To calculate bond order in chemistry, subtract the number of the electrons in the anti-bonding molecules from the number of electrons in the bonding molecules. Then, divide the result by 2. The higher the bond order, the more stable the molecule.

Re: Bond Angles

To identify bond angles and shape, locate the central atom and see how many bonds are connected to it. You also have to count the lone pairs as bonds. If the number of bonds is 2, the shape is linear and angles are 180 degrees. If the number of bonds is 3, then the shape is triagonal planar and angl...

Re: Molecular Shapes

No they're also determined by the number of bonds and the number of lone pairs on the central atom. The lone pairs are important because it makes the shape of the molecule.

Re: Pi bonds

If the atom has more than three valence electrons in its outer shell, three of the electron orbitals hybridize and one of the p orbitals remains unhybridized. It is the unhybridized p orbitals that then form pi bonds for double bonding. Just as with the sp2 hybrids, the unhybridized electrons can th...

Re: Ionic vs Covalent Bonds

These two opposite ions attract each other and form the ionic bond. Covalent bonding is a form of chemical bonding between two non metallic atoms which is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms and other covalent bonds

Re: Non-polar and Polar Covalent Bonds

Nonpolar covalent bonds are a type of chemical bond where two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other. Polar covalent bonding is a type of chemical bond where a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms.

Re: Test 1

I'm not sure how grading works for Professor Lavelle, but I feel like it would be fair to give us partial credit instead of zero points especially if our answer was only off a couple decimal points. As long as we showed our work and put effort in, I think we'll be fine.

Re: Should Significant Figures be affected by constants?

Significant figures are not affected by constants. The important rule is to have the same amount of significant figures in your answer and in the value given in the original problem.
