Re: Chemistry 14B [ENDORSED]

Avoid overlapping classes as Chem 14B could have tests during lecture times. Also recorded lectures on campus have not yet been authorized. Because I very much want to do classes that are as close as possible to the 'real thing' it involves AVS, Bruincast, etc. They all have to agree and be allowed ...

Straight forward to work it out.

Na far left, therefore largest row two element as size decreases from left to right.

Kr is the smallest element in row three as it is at the far right.

Other than that faculty have little administrative input. Appreciate your interest in my class. By the way students usually prefer taking cla...

Re: Can a charged structure be non-polar?

Answer: Na+ is not polar yet it is charged and highly water soluble. Charged does not imply Polar. CCl4 is symmetric and non-polar even though it has polar bonds. The same is true of GaCl4-. The negative charge is not located on any one Cl. The negative charge is spread equally on all the Cl and pr...

Can a charged structure be non-polar?

Question: I was under the impression that anytime a structure is charged (cation or anion) then it is polar regardless of its VSEPR structure. However, while going through the book problems I noticed that the book claims that if the structure is symmetric then it is nonpolar. An example is GaCl4-, ...
