    What are some helpful resources for understanding inorganic chemistry concepts?

    Hi all. So I study math and physics now after switching majors from chemistry. Most everything that held my fascination in chemistry was more rooted in physics and quite frankly inorganic and organic chemistry made me seriously consider living as a hermit in the frozen tundra of Alaska...

    Calculating LFSE and explaining color.

    Homework Statement The first questions asks to calculate the LFSE of metal complexes. The second part is to explain the difference in color between [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3, [CrCl(H2O)5]Cl2, and [CrCl2(H2O)4]Cl in terms of Δo. The Attempt at a Solution I know the formula for finding LFSE, my...

    Determining Concentration of a Tank (Using Linear Differential EQ)

    Homework Statement The problem states that we have a tank with a capacity of 400L filled with a mixture that has a concentration of 0.05g Chlorine per Liter. The concentration is reduced by pumping in pure water (zero concentration of chlorine), at a rate of 4L/s, and pumped out at 10L sec...

    IR and Raman Spectroscopy With Vibrational Modes

    Homework Statement The question states to identify which graph is associated with which molecule, which are CF4 and CF2Cl2. The graphs are measurements of infrared spectra, one has one peak while the other has two. It then asks to determine which symmetry labels are associated with each peak...

    Find the distance traveled of a piece of prey dropped by a hawk.

    Homework Statement So the question states that a hawk is flying at an altitude of 180m at 15m/s and drops its prey. The parabolic motion of the prey is defined by the function 180-x^2/45 were x is the horizontal distance traveled in meters. Solve for the total distance traveled from the moment...

    Does Organic Chemistry Have Strong Roots in Computational Chemistry?

    Thank you for the help. I've been doing my best and I'll keep it up. Thanks again.

    Bong Angles of Cyclic Hydrocarbons

    We're going over the reactivity of aromatic compounds so I was reviewing material over Sn1 and Sn2 reactions. In the book that we have, it says that the smaller the bong length between two carbons, or other atom, in a cyclic compound, the smaller the bond angle. That's where I get confused...

    Does Organic Chemistry Have Strong Roots in Computational Chemistry?

    That is incredibly good to hear. My interests are in physical and theoretical, but as long as I don't have to touch organic I'll be darn happy. Thanks for your help.

    Does Organic Chemistry Have Strong Roots in Computational Chemistry?

    So I'm an undergraduate student in Chemistry in my junior year and I recently transferred schools for a better science program. The one I was at was very, well, easy. Like toddler easy. I never went to class and I aced everything. Here, they're far ahead and it's much more rigorous. I was...
