What is the difference between Amphiprotic vs. amphoteric? and if you can please give an example.

How come when a negatively charged compound formed with water is still an acid? Isn't it when a compound is negatively charged it's a base or when it is added with water there is an exception?

For example H2PO4- (acid) +H20 (base)

Are we able to distinguish a molecule polar or non-polar if there is an ion? Because when I was doing practice problems, when distinguishing polarity a lot of the answers said n/a. So does that mean we do not know whether the molecule is polar vs. nonpolar?

I was wondering what 'angle distorted' means when it comes to the molecular geometry?

Nadeen 3D

Is another word for bent angular? (I noticed bent shapes being called angular but just want to make sure)

Also, if the molecular shape has only one lone pair and two bonds attached, is that considered bent? (because bent has 2 lone pairs)

I have trouble really distinguishing between polar and non-polar and I've done practice problems but can some explain the concept to me a little more and provide examples?

Nadeen 3D

I believe it will cover Molecular shape, VSEPR Theory, Valence-bond theory, hybridization, pie, sigma, Molecular Orbital Theory. I think you should review note, watch videos online(it really helps me), and the homework problems.

(a) What is the shape of the ClO2 + ion? (b) What is the expected OClO bond angle?

When I tried solving this problem, the molecular shape was bent(well the way I drew it), but why was the answer trigonal planar?

Nadeen 3D

A nodal plane which is sometimes called an angular plane is where you will likely not find an electron in the orbital. For example, the 2s orbital has one nodal plane and the 2pz and 2p has one orbital.

Hello,
Memorizing the shapes would be ideal but also understanding when to use them. There are problems that are trying to trick you, so just really try to memorize but understand how to name them. Hope this helped.

I was wondering if formal charge matters when drawing out the molecular shape or is it only for the Lewis structure?

2.39 Determine whether each of the following electron configurations represents the ground state or an excited state of the atom given. I got lost trying to figure this out if someone can explain the concept behind it or help me solve it would be great. There is more to the question and is hard to p...

The test will be in week 9 after Thanksgiving.

The purpose of the VSEPR Model is to determine the arrangments of the electrons pairs around non-hydrogen atoms. It also helps predict the structure of almost any molecule or polyatomic ion in which the middle atom is a nonmetal.

The De Broglie equation has to do with the matter. For instance, moving objects like a baseball. When solving for the wavelength of light, it is matterless.

Protons and neutrons have nearly the same mass. How different are their wavelengths? Calculate the wavelength of each particle when traveling at 2.75 105 m s 1 in a particle accelerator and report the difference as a percentage of the wavelength of the neutron. How come for this problem the De Brogl...

A baseball must weigh between 5.00 and 5.25 ounces (1 ounce 28.3 g). What is the wavelength of a 5.15-ounce baseball thrown at 92 mph?

When solving for this, why do we use the De Broglie Equation to calculate wavelength?

Nadeen 3D

I heard that if you miss some units you will be marked down because you should be originally adding them anyways when solving the problem.

I believe that by having them done by Friday and posting at least 3 times should give you your full points.

1.7 (a) The frequency of violet light is 7.1 1014 Hz. What is the wavelength (in nanometers) of violet light? (b) When an electron beam strikes a block of copper, x-rays with a frequency of 2.0 1018 Hz are emitted. What is the wavelength (in picometers) of these x-rays? I am lost if someone can plea...

A student prepared a solution of sodium carbonate by adding 2.111 g of the solid to a 250.0-mL volumetric flask and adding water to the mark. Some of this solution was transferred to a buret. What volume of solution should the student transfer into a flask to obtain (a) 2.15 mmol Na ; (b) 4.98 mmol ...
