Molecules with a higher melting point would have stronger intermolecular forces. If the molecules you are comparing have the same IMF's, you would then look at the atom size. Bigger atoms would have a higher melting point because they are more polarizable, which creates greater attractive forces, ma...

An Arrhenius acid is a molecule that donates an H+ ion when dissolved in water, so it is a proton donor. An Arrhenius base is a molecule that yields an OH- ion when dissolved in water. Bronsted-Lowry acids are proton donors, and Bronsted-Lowry bases are proton acceptors. Lewis acids are electron pai...

Dipole-dipole in the solid phase is stronger than dipole-dipole in the gas phase.

Haley Pham 4I

Amphiprotic substances can both accept and donate an H+ ion (proton). Amphoteric substances are both acidic and basic in character and can react with acids and bases.

What are the steps in naming coordination compounds?

Haley Pham 4I

Induced dipole - induced dipole forces are the weakest form of intermolecular forces and are present in all molecules.

Haley Pham 4I

The electrons in a sigma bond are directly between the nuclei of the atoms are as close to the nuclei as possible, so the nuclei strongly hold onto the electrons, making it difficult to break the bond. The electrons in a pi bond are further away from the nuclei, so the nuclei weakly attract the elec...

Dipole-dipole in the solid phase is stronger than dipole-dipole in the gas phase because the bonds in solids are stronger, thus the attraction between molecules is greater.

Haley Pham 4I

Pi bonds consist of orbitals that are aligned side-by-side, in which one of the two orbitals cannot align in a different position to make the bond. Sigma bonds consist of orbitals that are aligned end-to-end, which allow them to rotate.

Haley Pham 4I

Bronsted acids are are proton donors, while Lewis acids are electron acceptors. All Bronsted acids are Lewis acids, but not all Lewis acids are Bronsted acids.

How do you predict the polarity of a molecule by its molecular shape?

Haley Pham 4I

Yes, you should know the different orientations and bond angles for a particular shape.

Haley Pham 4I

Increasing strength of intermolecular forces causes the boiling point to increase.

Haley Pham 4I

The dipoles are vectors, and when they are equal and opposite to to each other, they cancel out.

Haley Pham 4I

You can name the shape of the molecule by determining the number of the bound atoms and lone pairs around the central atom, which correlate to a certain shape.

Haley Pham 4I

How do polarizability and the different intermolecular forces affect the boiling and melting points of compounds?

Haley Pham 4I

Larger atoms have more electrons and thus more shielding occurs. Thus, because electrons are at a greater distance from the nuclear charge and there is less attraction from the nucleus, the electrons are held more loosely, so the electron cloud is more susceptible to being distorted, making it more ...

Ionic bonds are stronger due to the attraction between ions of opposite charges.

Haley Pham 4I

It depends on what the question asks, it could either ask for the short-hand configuration, in which you would use the noble gas or the extended electron configuration,in which you would write out the full configuration.

Haley Pham 4I

Yes, ion-ion interactions occur between ions of opposite charges and are referred to as ionic bonds.

Haley Pham 4I

Delocalized electrons are electrons that are not associated with a single atom or covalent bond, so essentially they have no specific location. Resonance structures depict delocalized bonding because they show bonds in different positions.

Haley Pham 4I

Formula units usually apply to ionic compounds, while molecules apply to covalent compounds. In order to calculate formula units and molecules, convert the grams of Al2O3, convert it into moles, then use Avogadro's number 6.022 x 10^23 to find formula units and molecules.

Haley Pham 4I

I believe that is the only difference: in coordinate covalent bonds, one atom donates two electrons to the bond and in covalent bonds, both atoms donate one electron to the bond.

Haley Pham 4I

The brackets go around ionic compounds that have a total net charge.

Haley Pham 4I

There is also another way you could solve the problem. In order to determine how many grams of glucose is left over, you would first need to determine how many grams of water the 10.0g of glucose produces. You would convert the grams of glucose that was initially present into moles. Then, you would ...

Electronegativity increases up into the right of the periodic table.

Haley Pham 4I

Electronegativity is essentially how much an atom pulls in electrons, whereas effective nuclear charge is how strongly an electron is attracted to the nucleus. They are directly proportional.

Haley Pham 4I

Covalent bonds are pairs of electrons that are shared between two non-metal atoms that have similar electronegativities. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from a metal to non-metal atom, which differ significantly in electronegativity. Ionic bonds tend to be stronger than covalent bond...

Haley Pham 4I

Eelectrons involved in resonance structures are delocalized. Electrons that appear in different positions in a set of resonance structures are said to be delocalized, meaning that a shared electron pair is distributed over several pairs of atoms and cannot be identified with just one pair of atoms.

Haley Pham 4I

Bond lengths between atoms with multiple bonds are shorter than those with single bonds. Double bonds are shorter than single bonds, and triple bonds are shorter than double bonds.

Haley Pham 4I

Writing 2px, 2py, and 2pz is just an expanded notation of writing the orbitals. Each orbital is represented with a subscript x, y, z. If the 2p orbital is full, it would be 2px^2, 2py^2, 2pz^2. When writing the configuration of an atom with half filled orbitals, the p orbital for example would be 2p...

Haley Pham 4I

The building up (Aufbau Principle) states that an electron occupies orbitals in order from lowest to highest energy. The lowest energy sublevel is the 1s sublevel, then as we go on to atoms with multiple electrons, the electrons are added on creating the 2s, 2p, 3s, etc. sublevels.

DeBroglie's Equation is used for things or particles that have mass and that behave like a wave.

Haley Pham 4I

The magnetic quantum number tells us about the orientation of the orbitals in relation to other orbitals, which allows us to know more about the electron and its location in the atom.

Haley Pham 4I

What is the relationship between E=hv and E=mc^2 in the DeBroglie equation?

Haley Pham 4I

D. λv = c does not describe the photoelectric effect because the photoelectric experiment was designed to measure the how much energy is required to remove an electron from a metal surface and the kinetic energy of the electron, which is described by answers A, B, and C. Answer choice D describes th...

A photon must have a wavelength that is lower than the threshold wavelength to have the required energy to eject electrons. According to the equation E = hv = hc/λ (λ being wavelength), having a long wavelength would decrease the energy needed to eject the electrons. Thus, having a shorter wavelengt...

Haley Pham 4I

How do we calculate the threshold energy, or the energy needed to remove an electron from a metal atom? What equation(s) would be used to calculate the threshold energy?

Haley Pham 4I

Regarding the experiment in which long wavelength light does not eject electrons from a metal surface even with the increased intensity of the light, if it tells us that light not only has wavelike properties, then what other properties does it have?
