molecular modeling Flashcards
1
Q
spatial reasoning
A
“the ability to generate, retain, retrieve, and transform well-structured visual images”
2
Q
3 steps to determining dipole moments
A
- identify polar bonds
- identify the dipole moments of the bonds
- determine if the bond dipole moments cancel one another out or not (for net dipole)
3
Q
why would some bond angles be smaller or bigger than the ideal
A
big groups like methyl’s could cause repulsion
4
Q
why might the experimental ir spectra differ from the theoretical ir spectra
A
because theoretical spectra are done using one gas phase molecule so it is not skewed by any other solvent or impurities
