Re: Achieve #18, weeks 5 and 6

I believe strongest to weakest is i2, br2, cl2, because ldfs are stronger between larger atoms.

Re: Hydrogen Bonding

Those elements are very electronegative so they are hydrogen bond acceptors. They withdraw the majority of the electron density in the covalent bond with hydrogen, leaving the h atom very electron deficient.

Re: London Dispersion Forces

You can determine strength of london dispersion forces through molecular size: larger and heavier atoms have stronger dispersion forces than smaller and lighter ones. London dispersion forces tend to be stronger between molecules that are easily polarized and weaker between molecules that are not ea...

There is no way to see your participation credit as far as I know, but you can see how many posts you have made on chemistry community and divide it by the week number and if the result is 5, then you have met the participation credit so far!

Re: Purpose of a Dipole Moment

Dipole moments tell us where the electrons on a molecule are, they can also tell us the shape of molecules. They are important for many properties such as ability to dissolve solutes, melting and boiling points, and reactivity in general.

Re: Bond Lengths

Double bonds are shorter because they are stronger so they bring atoms closer together so that the distance between them is shorter and therefore the bond is shorter
