AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around several chemistry problems related to quantum numbers, molecular bonding, and bond lengths. For the first question regarding the number of electrons allowed with n=5, the correct answer is 36, derived from the sum of orbitals corresponding to l values from 0 to n. The second question about the pi bond in CH2NF indicates that the bond is formed through sp^2-sp^2 orbital overlap. Lastly, when comparing carbon-carbon bond lengths, C2H2 is identified as having the shortest bond due to its triple bond structure. Overall, the focus is on understanding quantum mechanics in chemistry and molecular structure.

Some quick questions before my Chem exam tomorrow. Here are some problems that were on a practice exam but I don't have the answers to them. I am stuck on all of these so i was wondering if you guys/gals can help me out with these. If you can't do all then one is fine.

how many electrons are allowed with n=5, l=?, m_l=-2, m_s=?
A. 3
B. 6
C. 10
D. 8
E. 25

The pi bond in CH2NF is formed with the following orbital overlap.
A. sp^2 - 2py
B. 2px - 2py
C. 2py - sp^3
D. sp^2 - sp^2
E. 2py - 2py

If the allowed values of the quantum number l were all integers from 0 to n, how many orbitals are allowed with n=5?
A. 64
B. 36
C. 83
D. 49
E. 25

In which of the following molecules is the C to C the shortest?
A. C2H6
B. C2H2
C. C2H4
D. H3CCOOH
E. H3CCN

1,) 6 corresponding to l= 2,3,4 each with 2 spins

2.) possible sp^2-sp^2

3.) no of electrons

= \sum_0^{6} (2i+1) = 36

4.) triple bond will have shortest C-C distance hence C2H2

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
