    How to convert ethene to but-1-yne?

    First step would be to combine two units of ethene to form a 4 carbon backbone.

    Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Lewis Structure

    The catch is, you can show Sulphur having double bonds with Oxygens or having a covalent bond with one AND dative bond with other. Both are equally acceptable.

    Rate law expression with solids and liquids

    Not to mention, the rate law also depends on the reaction mechanism. So, it is impossible to guess on your own unless provided with some incentive.

    Electrophilic nature of Carbon in CO2

    Partial charges are seen in terms of individual bond. Since C=O bond is polar, you are expected to see partial charges.

    Electrophilic nature of Carbon in CO2

    You can consider one of the pi bond in C-O bond to jump to O, thus leaving C with electron deficit, thus making it electrophile. If you are talking about how it takes part as electrophile in various organic addition reaction, this is the way it works.

    The Acidity of the Hydrated Ferric Ion

    We used that series to determine the acidic strength of organic cations/anions/radicals, but I never once used it to test the strength of complexes. For me, these two things were covered in a very different ways.

    The Acidity of the Hydrated Ferric Ion

    True that. We can determine the direction of the reaction (Acid to conjugate base in the example) by roughly judging the stability of the products in the test condition.

    The Acidity of the Hydrated Ferric Ion

    Try to look the acidity of Ferric ion in terms of Lewis Acid. It is striped of 3 electrons, so it can accept electron. 1) I don't know what to say here, except try to evaluate the acidic strength of the ferric ion in terms of ferric ion alone. 2) Size of ferric ion is quite less than ferrous...

    What Determines C-F Bond Length Order?

    Well, what can I say, I'd need to dig up some lost info on this one.

    Understanding the Behavior of Acetone and CS2 in Binary Liquid Solutions

    Nah. Just a rough idea. If they are close, then simple fractionating column might not cut it. You can learn more about fractional distillation if you want. But if I were you, I might have went with the option D. And regarding to the C option, I suppose what you said is applicable more...

    What Is the Sum of Bond Angles in a Maximized Repulsion Tetrahedron?

    There are actually 6 angles which can be formed between the 4 bonds. (4-1)!

    Understanding the Behavior of Acetone and CS2 in Binary Liquid Solutions

    C) What happens to the vapor pressure of the solution when you do that? Can you derive the impact of that on BP of the solution? D) Well, you might want to check the BP of individual components before answering that.

    Which Compounds Have Both 2c-2e and 3c-4e Bonds?

    Bonds are made by electrons, and bonds anchor the "centres". It is just some terminologies people like to come up with. If there are two atoms bonded by 2 electrons (a single bond), it is 2c-2e bond. If the overall bond is connecting 3 atoms and 4 electrons are playing the role of bonding, it is...

    What Determines C-F Bond Length Order?

    Might be. But you should check around the internet for factual data before putting your vote in my "theory". See, I am assuming that you are preparing for college entrance exam (JEE).
