VSEPR Theory and Molecular shape. A thin stream of water bends toward a negatively charged rod. When a positively charged rod is placed near the stream, it will bend in the same direction, not the opposite direction. Why? Please can you give another example of this type of electric charges in detail? Thank you!
Is it polar or nonpolar?
Determine the bond angle for SiO2, BF3, CFCl3, H2CS. Express your answer using three significant figures
is sulfur tetrachloride polar or nonpolar?
Decide whether each molecule or polyatomic ion is polar or nonpolar. If the molecule or polyatomic ion is polar, write the chemical symbol of the atom closest to the negative side. For example, if the molecule were HCl and you decided the hydrogen atom was closest to the negative side of the molecule, you'd enter "H" in the last column of the table.
Please answer the ff questions and clear your answer. a. Why are most atoms held by chemical bonds. b. What renders the properties of substances. c. How do chemical forces of attraction define the properties and uses of matter? d. What is the significance of chemical bonding to life?
Now, we will investigate diatomic molecules, those that are made up of two of the same type of atom. Select 2 fluorine atoms. How many valence electrons are in each fluorine atom? Is a fluorine atom a metal or a non-metal? Did the combination of these atoms create a covalent or ionic bond? How are the valence electrons organized to form a bond between these atoms? How is this different from the ionic bonds formed in the previous part of the activity?
3. Carbon atoms will bond with each other to form a chain, often with the peripheral atoms being hydrogen. These compounds, hydrocarbons, are organic compounds composed only of carbon and hydrogen. However, when hydrogen atoms are substituted with other elements, such as fluorine, this changes the properties of the molecule. Methylfluoride (CH3F), a substituted hydrocarbon, is used in semiconductor processing. Figure 1 depicts an incorrect Lewis structure for CH3F. (QUestion shown in photo) Which reason best explains why this structure is incorrect? a) Hydrogen lacks an octet. b) Too few electrons are used. c) Carbon cannot exceed an octet. d) Fluorine atom has too many electrons.
If the ions in the figure on the right were released and allowedto move, would they move closer together or farther apart?
Molecules contain both a metal and a nonmetal. True or False ??
Could someone help me?? The answer to this question must look similar to the example attached. Back ground info: Atoms of different elements combine with one another to form compounds. It is important to be able to explain how atoms actually come together to form these compounds or chemical bonds. One of the three types of bonds is an ionic bond which is a bond between a metal atom and a nonmetal atom, or a cation and an anion. The Octet Rule is the driving force behind ionic bond formation. The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds. When discussing the octet rule, we do not consider d or f electrons. Only the s and p electrons are involved in the octet rule, making it useful for the main group elements (elements not in the transition metal or inner-transition metal blocks); an octet in these atoms corresponds to an electron…
