Why Do Atoms Form Bonds? You can use theperiodic tableto make several predictions about whether atoms will form bonds and what type of bonds they might form with each other. On the far right-hand side of the periodic table is the group of elements called thenoble gases. Atoms of these e...
Why do atoms hybridize? What is the major advantage of the atomic force microscope over the similar scanning tunneling microscope? Why is the wave-particle dual nature of matter important? Why is the field of nuclear chemistry important? What are some of the practical, every-day applications of...
Why do elements form compounds? A. Why do the group 8A elements rarely react with other elements? B. Why do we no longer accept Dalton's statement that all atoms of an element must be exactly alike? Elements and compounds are both classified as pure substances. Clearly exp...
Covalent compounds exists as gases, liquids or soft solids because they are held by relatively weaker forces that any known as van der waal.s forces.
( c) Metals have low IE and so valence electrons form an ocean of loosely bonded electrons. These looosely bonded electrons are reposible for conduction of current in metals. (d) I2 is a violet crystalline solid having metallic lusture and forms ionic compounds like (CH3COO)3I in which...
The structures of pure metals are simple to describe since the atoms that form these metals can be thought of as identical perfect spheres. More specifically the metallic structure consists of 'aligned positive ions' (cations) in a "sea" of delocalized electrons. This means that the electrons ...
do with feelings but with cooperation and mutual utilizationdespiteone's feelings. The ability to integrate and mutually utilize lies at the heart of the working of the universe. It's why there are things in the universe instead of clouds of subatomic particles. It's why atoms form molecules...
Proteins are polymers, and yet the language used in describing their thermodynamics and kinetics is most often that of small molecules. Using the terminology and mathematical descriptions of small molecules impedes understanding why proteins have evolved to be big in comparison. Many properties of the...
Why do atoms share electron pairs?Electron Pair:The electron pair, also known as a Lewis pair, comprises two electrons that are occupied in the same molecular orbit but have opposite spins. The concept of an electron pair and covalent bond was introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in 1916....
Why do elements form compounds? Why does having a high electronegativity signify being more reactive? Why do atoms hybridize? Why can't molecules with the following formulas exist? (a) CH5 (b) C2H6N (c) C3H5Br2 Why should samples be weighed rather than measured volumetrically when deter...
