Re: Polarity [ENDORSED]
hi! we have to see if there is any dipolar resulting moment in the molecule. For example, if all bonded atoms are the same there won't be a resulting polar moment because the atoms have the same electronegativity. However, if there is a different atom there will be. Lone pairs can also influence pol...

hi! We have to memorize them! However, we have to understand a little bit of the reasoning behind it. For example, in a linear shape, we have two bonds. The farthest the two atoms can be from each other so their electrons' energy of repulsion reaches the lowest number is if we put them 180º distant ...

I would say it is risky to think like that. For example, Acetic acid, CH3COOH, at first seems to have an OH, in the end, however, this OH is a part of carboxyl, COOH a functional organic group that gives the molecule an acidic characteristic.

Hi Sami!
So v in the E=hv equation does not mean velocity. It means frequency. They are never interchangeable. v in this question is not v from velocity. It's the Greek letter v (pronounced nu) which also means frequency. Be careful!!
