Re: What is the shape of [Fe(dien)2]^2+
Dien is a tridentate because because it has 3 atoms capable of binding to the central atom. If you look at the full chemical formula, it is NH2CH2CH2NHCH2CH2NH2 (look at page 101 of the course reader for a cleaner representation) There are 3 nitrogen atoms, and they are the only ones capable of bind...

Re: Assigning hybridization with e- density
Idean showed another way during his midterm review that really helped me. Think of each region of electron density as a way of counting the hybridization The first region of electron density is s The second region of electron adds another letter, so sp The third region of electron density adds anoth...

Re: Lewis versus Bronsted Acid & Base
A Bronsted Acid is a proton donor. A Bronsted base is a proton acceptor. On the other hand, a Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor and a Lewis base is an electron pair donor. So a Bronsted acid is a supplier of a type of Lewis acid, a proton. The start of Chapter 11.2 goes into detail if you want...
