Many structures of phosphorus and sulfur containing compounds are drawn with some P=O and P=S bonds. These bonds are not the typical pi bonds we have considered, which involve the overlap of two p orbitals. They result instead from the overlap of a d orbi Wh...
According to VSEPR theory, in which fashion will the bonds and lone pairs of electrons are arranged about the central atom in the following molecules or molecular ions? Now let's consider BrF6- as VSEPR would predict it's structure. There are two...
How many isomers does heptane have?Alkane Isomers:Isomers are compounds that have the same number and type of atom, they are just arranged differently. Alkanes are hydrocarbon molecules that have all single bonds in their molecular structure. Alkanes can be arranged in long chains, or shorter cha...
Nonpolar bonds show a ___ electronegativity difference between atoms. Does glycine have a high dipole moment? Decide whether each of the compounds listed is polar. If so, show the dipole moment. (Hint: You may need to draw out the Lewis structure to determine the polarity and to show the...
