Re: Dipole confusion

A dipole is a bond or molecule with opposite charges. An example would be H20.
The Hydrogen ends are positive and the oxygen is negative. These charges allow for bonding with other molecules and ions.

Re: Formal Charge and Lewis Strucutre

A quick way to do it is just valence electrons - lone pair electrons - bonds
or Formal Charge = Valence — # of dots — # of lines

Re: two exceptions ( d orbital)

Another way to think of it is that because the half and fully filled d orbitals are more stable, the element really wants to have that configuration and will take 1 electron from the preceding s-orbital in order to do so.

Re: Octet question

Adding on to that, some other atoms that don't have an octet are hydrogen, helium, lithium, and beryllium.

Covalent Bonding with elements in period 3+

Since elements in the third period of the periodic table have the d orbital available, does that mean that they can have up to 18 valence electrons?
Like would sulfur be able to have 9 bonds with other elements?

Re: Why does d orbital have expanded octet?

I'm not entirely sure but I believe it has something to do with the d orbital having 10 electrons.

Re: Electron Configuration of Silver

Hi! So you're correct in that you the 5s orbital would get filled prior to the 4d orbitals. However, silver's electron configuration is an exception similar to copper. The 4d orbital is much more stable with 10 electrons instead of 9 so it takes one of the electrons from the 5s orbital. Hopefully th...

Re: Sapling HW #30

Hi! For this question you need to know that the ions of a certain element still have the same nuclear charge but a different number of valence electrons. Rubidium has 1 valence electron in the 5th shell, Rb - has 2 valence electrons but in the 5th shell, and Rb + has 8 valence electrons but in the 4...

Re: Which model of light is atomic spectroscopy?

hi! I'm pretty sure it's the particle model since energy is proportional to frequency.

Re: Kinetic Energy vs De Broglie's wavelength equation

Hi! I think in short the answer to your question is that you can't use E=hv for any object with mass. That equation is for a photon which doesn't have any mass while the de broglie equation is for objects with mass and momentum.

Re: 4th quantum number

So I don't think you necessarily will have to determine the fourth quantum number but it just tells you whether the electron is spinning up or spinning down. This also confirms the idea that no two electrons in the same atom have the same four quantum numbers.

Hi! So the question you shared asked for you to find the initial n, energy level. Like you said, you're going to need the final energy level. The question gives you the frequency of the light which you can use in the c = (frequency)(wavelength) equation and rearrange it into c/(frequency) = waveleng...
