The overall concept of lone pairs and their relation to ball-and-stick models

When looking at a question such as 2E.1, does the concept of atomic attraction come into play when attempting to analyze the bond angles? For example, are the shapes created by the overall magnetism or by the relationship between the bonds presented?

The release of energy always comes at the same time as a transition into a state where there is more stability for the system itself, thus explaining this concept and why you had this question.

Re: Schrodinger for Exams

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
