    What is the Lewis structure of C3H5+ ion?

    Hi, For school, I have to give the Lewis structure of C3H5+ ion. There is a method explained, which is fairly easy, and has always worked. It has also worked for ions. However, this is the first time I have to give the Lewis structure of a positive ion.The valence of the C atom is 4 electrons...

    I Structure of Earth, pressure and density model

    I created interpolative curvefits to the graph of Earth's density as a function of radius, shown here: (Image from Wikipedia) Earth is assumed to be a sphere of radius 6371 kilometers. The independent variable r is the geocentric distance as a fraction of the Earth's radius; i.e. the range of...

    I Quantum mechanics shows how the poverty of energy imposes structure....?

    From Frank Wilczek's book 'A Beautiful Question' 'Quantum mechanics shows how the poverty of energy imposes structure' P196 Is he saying the poverty of energy imposes structure in the energy of a quantum system or structure in matter? Or both? If we look at an atom it has ordered structure in...

    Terms Allowed in Spectroscopic Structure of Calcium

    Homework Statement Why can't we have 4s^2 3S1 calcium? I've looked up a table of terms and this is never given, so I guess we can't have it. Why can't the spins of each of the outer electrons add to give S = 1, J = 1, and a degeneracy of 3? I guess the answer must be pretty basic since nobody...
