anonymous · Answer

so thats correct?

baldymcgee6 · Answer

I think it is correct.. :D

baldymcgee6 · Answer

How about you post it in the chem group...

anonymous · Answer

wait i have a question....it asked for the overlapping of two HALF filled orbitals...

baldymcgee6 · Answer

Two 1s orbitals, each half filled with an electron, share electrons in a covalent bond

anonymous · Answer

okay well methane's geo structure is tetrahedral

anonymous · Answer

109.5?

anonymous · Answer

okay i know its either of the 3: Trigonal bipyramidal, tetrahedral, or octahedral

anonymous · Answer

and i think its tetrahedral

anonymous · Answer

okay so the bonding angle predicted is 109.5 degrees since the three dimensional shape is a tetrahedral

anonymous · Answer

okay and ammonia is also tetrahedral?

anonymous · Answer

okay so that's also 109.5 degrees

>.< im so stupidd

anonymous · Answer

cool he speaks chinese, who knew

anonymous · Answer

lol...nin i didnt get any of that

anonymous · Answer

is it BENT?

anonymous · Answer

whats the geometric shape of the ion $BF_4~^-$?

anonymous · Answer

okay whats geometric shape?

anonymous · Answer

k now ur just making me look retarded...im gonna delete em too lol

anonymous · Answer

alright well thanks so much nin :) 'nite!
