Hi, can someone help explain why they numbered it like this instead of how I numbered it?

Re: Iso and Neo Prefixes

The prefixes 'iso-' and 'neo-' are used for common naming instead of IUPAC naming; 'iso-' being used when there are 4 or less carbons, and 'neo-' when there are five or more. Common naming doesn't follow the rule of numbering the longest carbon chain, but instead counts all of the carbons. Using co...

Determining rate constant

The problem states:

"Determine the rate constant for second order equation 2A -> B + C given that the concentration of A decreases from 2.5 x 10-3 M to 1.25 x 10-3 M in 100.0 seconds."

How would you solve this?

Finding initial concentration given pH and Ka

The problem states: "Find the initial concentration of HClO with a pH of 4.60 (Ka = 3.0x 10^-8)." I understand you have to use an ICE table to solve for it but I'm not sure how to find the change in molarity with the info given? And after finding the change in molarity do I just solve for x?

The question states: "The reaction N2(g) + O2(g) = 2NO (g) contributes to air pollution whenever a fuel is burned in air at a high temperature. At 1500 K, Kc = 1.0x10^-5. A sample of air is heated in a closed container to 1500 K. Before any reaction occurs [N2] = 0.80 M and [O2] = 0.20 M. Calcu...

You'd think that atoms bonding with other atoms would mean they're being friendly, but really they steal each other's electrons.

How ionic.

Re: Oxidation Number

The oxidation number is essentially the charge of the metal. So first you would need to calculate the charges of the other ligands in the complex and those charges plus the charges of the metal should add up to the total charge of the complex. For example, take [Fe(CN)5]2-, The charge of CN is 1-, ...

Tetrahedral Angles

Hi, I've memorized the bond angles for all the VSEPR geometries but I don't seem to understand why the tetrahedral shape has angles of 109.5 degrees. It's hard for me to picture it without a 3D diagram. Could anyone explain? Thank you in advance!
