Re: State of products

Most of the time, the states of the products are the states at standard room temperature and vary based on the bonding and the elements used in the molecules. These states can be searched up, but most of the time if they are not provided usually you don't have to include them in the equation.

Re: Impossible to balance [ENDORSED]

There is no equation that is impossible to balance, oftentimes there will be multiple steps that have to be taken to achieve a certain product but all equations are able to be balanced.

Re: Bond Order

If bond order is 0, the bond does not exist or is not stable enough to exist.

Re: Bond strength

Pi bonds are generally weaker covalent bonds than sigma bonds just because pi bonds have a smaller overlap between the orbital. However, combined, there is a larger overlap between the orbitals and that makes pi and sigma bonds combined stronger.

Re: Subshell vs Orbital

Subshells are made up of orbitals. In each orbital, a total of two electrons can reside. For example, in the 2p sub shell, there are 3 orbitals.

Re: quantum numbers

These quantum numbers represent different aspects of a certain electron in an atom. N is the main quantum number that represents the electron shell number that the electron resides in. The l quantum number is the angular momentum quantum number and describes the shape of the specific orbital in the ...

Re: Exceptions in electronegativity?

One big exception in electronegativity is the noble gas group. Because the outermost shell is completely full, its electronegativity is 0. In addition, the lanthanides and actinides are also exceptions to the rule.

Re: Be vs Cl

A good way to remember it is that Cl is one of the most electronegative elements on the periodic table and also it is much farther right on the table than Be. Therefore, it is way more electronegative.

Re: Electronegativity Trends

So electronegativity trends general represented as the following: decreases down a row and increases across a period. It decreases down a row because the subsequent outer shells get farther and farther away from each other as the atomic number increases. Electronegativity increases across a period b...

Re: polar vs nonpolar

In general, minimum difference in polarity must be about 0.5. This is because anything below this number is not as significant in making the electron distribution greater on one side than another.

Re: Polarity of Molecules

Polarity of a molecule can be determined by looking at the individual atoms' electronegativities. The higher the electronegativity, the more polar negative that part of the atom is. A diagram can be drawn showing the molecules overall polarity based on the location of the most and least electronegat...

Re: Trends

Ionization energy is the amount of energy needed for an atom to remove an electron from its outermost shell. In general ionization energy increases as the number of electrons removed increases.

Re: Central Atoms

Hydrogen is not a central atom because it cannot make more than one bond with another atom. This is because it has a maximum of 2 electrons on its outer shell.

Re: Significant figures requirement

Generally, you should use the lowest number of significant figures that were used in your calculations. The actual number of sig figs depends on the problem though and should be a case by case scenario, especially with the Achieve homework.

There are four significant figures in this number because if there are values after a decimal point, the number is for sure exactly 100.0 and not rounded to 100.

Re: Atomic Mass for Hydrogen

I would use 1.008 just because its better to be more specific, but at the end of the day it shouldn't affect your final answer too much if you use either. 3-5 significant figures is usually a good zone to be in for a final answer as well.
