AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a lab assignment involving 13 chemicals, requiring the completion of Lewis dot structures, 3-D structures, shapes, hybridization, bond angles, polarity, and intermolecular forces. The user seeks assistance specifically with identifying the shapes and hybridization of various compounds, including H2O, CH3OH, and others. There is a mention of the complexity due to some chemicals having multiple shapes and bond types. The user expresses uncertainty about drawing Lewis dot structures and 3-D representations, particularly for compounds with double bonds. Overall, the request emphasizes a need for guidance on structural chemistry concepts.

Need help finishing my lab...

I am having a hard time completing my lab. I was given 13 chemicals and have to draw the Lewis dot structure, there 3-D structures, Shape, Hybridization, bond angles, Polarity, and there Intermolecular forces. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the Shape (Linear, Trigonal planar,...) and Hybridization of the chemicals. I was told some of them have more then one shape in the bond. H2O, CH3OH, C2H5OH, CH3COOH, CH3COCH3, C6H14, NaCl, CaCO3, C10H8, C6H4OHCOOH, C6H12O6, C6H8O6, C40H56...I know it is a lot but any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You just don't ask. You try, you tell us what you did, we push you in the right direction.
 


I did try...I did everything I just don't really get the shape and hybridization thing...But I can figure it out I just have one more question...How do you draw a Lewis dot structure and a 3-D structure for something tat shares double bonds...I can draw one of them i don't know if its the 3-D or the Lewis dot...
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
