I understand that a 180 staggered molecule is most stable, but does that mean it has the lowest energy conformation?

@Ryan, Dr. Lavelle said we won't be covering multiple functional groups until 14C/CL/D.

When naming should we always include if a compound is cis/trans, or will a question specifically ask us for that information?

What do you call an acid with an attitude?

A-mean-oh acid

When naming structures and trying to determine which carbon to start counting from, what takes priority for a lower number: the bond or substituents?

PriscillaMariscal_3F

In order to do well on this midterm, I have to start thinking like a proton.
Always positive.

Why is it that when looking at the formula for entropy, S=q/T, when T increases, S should decrease but in actuality when a substance is heated, the entropy increases because the atoms are moving at a faster rate and creating more chaos?

I hate it when people text me 'K,' when I'm not in the mood to talk about Potassium.

Will the reactants of a chemical equation always be the broken bonds?

I think it's be best to sign up for AAP sessions before week 3 starts. To sign up for AAP you can go to your myUCLA and under the 'Academics' tab you can find peer learning which is where can find several tutoring sessions. If you aren't sure if you meet the requirements for AAP you can visit Campbe...

How are buffers & titrations related to one another?

PriscillaMariscal_3F

For the ICE table do we to always have to use the quadratic equation? Or can we approximate any time the K is less than 10^-3?

PriscillaMariscal_3F

One of my TA's also told me that another way of determining which orbital is less energy, is by asking yourself which element has a higher Z value. The higher the Z value, the lower in energy it'll be.

I need clarification on naming ligands; so it doesn't matter whether we use the new IUPAC Conventions to name ligands correct? Because the textbook problems use the new conventions.

PriscillaMariscal_3F

If there is a linear molecule, and the dipole moments for the two outside atoms are facing towards the central atom, would the molecule be polar or nonpolar?

PriscillaMariscal_3F

I thought that any element after Si could have an expanded octet?

PriscillaMariscal_3F

Do the noble gases have a high electron affinity even if they have a complete octet?

Ex: Comparing Ne and Cl, which has a higher electron affinity?

PriscillaMariscal_3F

I'm still confused about how and when to use the pauli exclusion principle and hund's rule. If anyone is down to teach me just let me know. Thanks!

We should all meet up this Friday in the fireside lounge to study for the first quiz and complete the workbook quiz

I live on the 5th floor, I'd be down to join a study group! Just need to establish a time and place
