Are there any other coordination compounds that have biological importance relevant to what we're learning?

What is the structure of cisplatin?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

Regarding the test, when will our final grades be posted?

Does the label of the compound switch from Lewis acid to conjugate base when the reaction flips such that the name depends on which is on the reaction or product side.

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

Because the definitions differ a little bit in that one is broader than the other, can one be a Bronstead acid without being a Lewis acid.

A ligand is an ion or molecule that binds to a central metal atom to form a coordination complex.

Would we ever have to say << 109.5 degrees when there are more lone pairs?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

I think we have to memorize the bond angles for the structures we were shown in class. I believe we're also expected to know how the angles are affected by lone pairs.

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

Does knowing whether a bond is a pi bond or sigma bond help us figure out the structure or shape of the molecule?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

Are there any applications to Hydrogen bonding being the strongest bonds?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

What are some other factors besides electronegativity that can affect the polarity of a molecule? Do these same factors affect the individual bonds between elements in the molecule?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

Can the sigma/pi bonds also be used to determine the structure of the molecule?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

How do we use the attractive energy to determine the structure of the molecule?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

I believe H2O would be tetrahedral shape because there are 2 bonding pairs and 2 lone pairs resulting in a bent angle of 104.5 degrees.

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

How does the electron repulsion affect the bond lengths of the molecule, as well as the overall shape?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

Elements in the third period and up can have an expanded octet because they have access to the d-orbital; so there are many elements besides copper and silver that serve as an exception to the octet rule.

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

I don't think you necessarily have to write out your calculations for the formal charge but it's probably safer to write the number next to each element.

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

It's also important to look at the formal charges of each element in order to figure out the most likely bonding.

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

Can Lewis structures be used to construct the molecular structure of the element?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

What other exceptions are there to the typical electron configuration order? Is 4s always placed before 3d?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

If Li and Be are exceptions due to their metallic characteristics then why are other metals not exceptions as well?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

How do we know when to combine De Broglie's equation with E = hv? Is it for specific conditions?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

With all the equations in this section how do we know when a v is frequency and when it represents velocity?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

Orbitals are the regions of space in which electrons are most likely to be found. Each orbital is denoted by a number and a letter in which the letters (s,p,d,f), describe the shape of the orbital. An s orbital, the first energy level, is spherical and has no nodal planes. A p orbital has two lobes ...

The modules are definitely helpful, but I found that this video acts as a good supplement.

Do the same parameters for when to use this equation apply to the wavelength formula or any others that we're using in this section?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

I understand how the experiment debunked the idea that light consists only of wave-like properties; however, how did the results lead them to the conclusion that light contains photons of energy where one proton interacts in one electron?

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

If we start with 100g then it's easier to figure out the grams of each molecule based on the percentages given. I didn't learn to answer questions this way until recently and I think this method makes it a lot easier.

RoopshaChatterjee 1G

When balancing equations I find it helpful to list out the different elements on each side and tackle each element individually as I go. I re-write the equation with the coefficients I'm trying in order to keep my work organized so I don't get confused.

I'm having some difficulty with a similar question: Consider the unbalanced reaction: PCl3+ H2O --->HCl + H3PO3 What mass of HCl is produced by the reaction of 23.6g of PCl3? Do you find the mass of HCl through a similar method?
