The discussion focuses on comparing the covalent character of titanium chlorides, specifically TiCl3 and TiCl4, as well as TiBr3. It highlights that TiCl4 may exhibit more covalent character due to its higher cationic nature compared to TiCl3. The structural differences among these compounds are crucial for understanding their covalent characteristics, suggesting that analyzing the molecular structures can provide insights into their bonding behavior.

You refer to ##TiCl_4##, ##TiCl_3##, and ##TiBr_3##. Which ones do you want to compare? One important hint is to look at the structures of the compounds.

Thread 'Molecular-level explanation of macroscopic phenomena: dissolving'

What I know and please correct me: a macroscopic probe of raw sugar you can buy from the store can be modeled to be an almost perfect cube of a size of 0.7 up to 1 mm. Let's assume it was really pure, nothing else but a conglomerate of H12C22O11 molecules stacked one over another in layers with van de Waals (?) "forces" keeping them together in a macroscopic state at a temperature of let's say 20 degrees Celsius. Then I use 100 such tiny pieces to throw them in 20 deg water. I stir the...
