Chemistry Final 1A Exam review help!
What specifically do you need help with ? :)
Orbitals
hmm.... what's the first question. I will see if I can help.
Well here's what is says on my study guide 14. Orbitals, the shapes and the electron configurations that would be made the most stable
?? Is that all to the question? 0-0
No, I filled some of them it's more of a topic than a question, but I don't understand the most stable
The elements with the fuller outer shells (like noble gases)
ok thanks so much
No problem. ^^ I am happy to help. (but I feel like I have not help so much so I will leave an example for you) Neon has 10 electrons so it is written as: 1s2 2s2 2p6
how about this one 20. How to recognize the formulas of compounds when given their chemical names
I understand on the example now.
Great ! And I will try to assist you on 20. What about the concept confuses you?
Like can you give me an example on how to transfer a chemical formula to a chemical name
Sure!
Name the first non-metal. If there are two or more atoms of the the element use a Greek prefix.Name the second non-metal. ALWAYS use a Greek prefix. CHANGE THE ENDING TO IDE
There's more hold on.
By the way that rule is for covalent bonds. An example PCL3 is Phosphourous trichloride
@Smartwizard there is a lot to the concept. You would do better to look at this : http://104.mhchem.org/pdf104Labs/ChemNamesFormulas.pdf it has many example and explanations. Wish you much luck :) And sorry I couldn't help out more.
Thanks so much for the help
