Hello,
I believe that all you will need to do is pursue the concepts that are readily available to solve the basics of a wave equations such as the height and frequency. I do not believe that the professor will become incredibly in depth when it comes to the conceptual applications on the exam.

Re: Drawing Lewis Structures
Essentially, what the dashes and wedges portray is the concept of the molecule existing within a three dimensional space and protruding or facing away from you as it is contorted. These are known as resonance structures within the overall concept of chemistry as a whole

Re: CH2Cl2
When you are organizing the structure of a molecule, you need to think about the various properties at play and how they work alongside each other. I feel that you might be ignoring the concept of a charge within a system as well as how the various molecules contain different levels. That would expl...

Re: formal charge
Within a system, you need to focus on the concept of building structures around the molecule with the smallest electronegativity. On a periodic table, the more right and up you go on the periodic table shows you how electronegative something is, with the most being Flourine. Look for the molecule th...

Re: Final Inquiry [ENDORSED]
When it comes to the final itself, should we expect a majority to be sourced from the content that we covered after the second midterm? Or should we approach this one as a sort of round up of everything we have learned so far mashed together into one exam.

The distinguishing between ionic and covalent bonds
Hello, When crafting Lewis structures, I encountered a unique situation which confused me deeply. I was asked to draw the lewis structure for NH4Cl aka ammonium chloride, and I noticed something strange. The LS is split into two parts, with the NH4 on the inside and the Cl portion separate. I unders...

Structures of Lewis Structures
Hello, When it comes to the process of crafting Lewis structures, is the rule in regards to the placement of the least electronegative molecule on the inside of the structure ironclad? Or can it be bent a little bit in order to make the functioning of the structure work more properly. For example, w...

On the exams in the future the professor will give us the necessary equations that we will need to utilize. You only really need to learn the simple ones that get repeated a lot like oxygen or glucose

Re: lewis structure question
Hello,
You are right about the middle featuring the least electronegativity. This is because they are stuck in an awkward point in the middle of begging for a lot and wanting to kick out a small amount.

Periodic table and electronegativity
Is there is a method behind the changing electronegativity that the periodic table displays? Why is it ordered in regards to the electronegativity and should this be the primary method by which we look at it? Or just another method of identification that we can look at.

The electron shells reaching a limit
When it comes to the electron shells of a molecule, is there necessarily a limit to the concept of the expanding shells? For example, within the range of a molecule can there be a maximum? Or would continually adding electrons just serve to power up the molecule.

Re: Ionic Radius
hey, It should be fundamental to know that the ratio of protons to electrons is important in the ionic size. Since protons can never be removed but electrons could be. The protons pull in the electrons, therefore the lower electrons (usually lowering to the lower electron shell) would mean they are ...

I usually understand that atomic radius size and use that to understand other qua...
