Re: Strength of acid

Moving down a group there is an increase in the number of valence shells = higher shielding effect. This means that the valence e-s feel a weaker pull from the nucleus and can easily dissociate = stronger acid

The bond lengths are still the same probably because of resonance. All bond lengths are the same even though they are single or double because resonances are hybrids

I think formal charge is more important (with 0 being the most stable) because there are expections for certain elements regarding the octet rule

Alternative version of formula

Does the formula...

FC = group # - (bonds + nonbinding e-)

work the same as the one presented in lecture? This formula makes more sense to me and seems to result in all the same results.

Re: Representation

The uncertainty principle has two complementary variables for which there is a limit to the precision with which we can measure either. Essentially, there's the uncertainty in momentum and the uncertainty in position of a particle. These variables represent the precision to which either the momentum...
