Chemistry Final 1A Exam review help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What specifically do you need help with ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Orbitals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm.... what's the first question. I will see if I can help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?? Is that all to the question? 0-0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I filled some of them it's more of a topic than a question, but I don't understand the most stable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The elements with the fuller outer shells (like noble gases)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about this one 20. How to recognize the formulas of compounds when given their chemical names

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand on the example now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great ! And I will try to assist you on 20. What about the concept confuses you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like can you give me an example on how to transfer a chemical formula to a chemical name

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There's more hold on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By the way that rule is for covalent bonds. An example PCL3 is Phosphourous trichloride

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@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.
