COMPOUNDS
-Are held together by chemical bonds.
REPRESENTATION OF ATOMS & IONS
Valence electrons: S and p electrons in the highest principle

Page 2: Advanced Lewis Structures and Charge Considerations

This page delves deeper into Lewis structures, focusing on bond formation and charge distribution in molecules.

Definition: The number of bonds and lone pairs determines whether a molecule is neutral or charged.

Example: Molecules like CH₄, NH₃, H₂O, and HF demonstrate different bonding patterns while maintaining neutrality.

Highlight: When drawing Lewis structures, consider both the number of bonds and lone pairs to accurately represent molecular structure.

COMPOUNDS
-Are held together by chemical bonds.
REPRESENTATION OF ATOMS & IONS
Valence electrons: S and p electrons in the highest principle

Page 3: Molecular Naming and Complex Structures

This section covers nomenclature rules and more complex molecular structures.

Vocabulary: Common names versus systematic names in chemistry nomenclature.

Example: CO₂ (carbon dioxide) and POCI₃ demonstrate more complex bonding arrangements.

Definition: Covalent naming follows the pattern: prefix + first element name + prefix + second element + "ide".

COMPOUNDS
-Are held together by chemical bonds.
REPRESENTATION OF ATOMS & IONS
Valence electrons: S and p electrons in the highest principle

Page 4: Bond Polarity and Electronegativity

This page explores the relationship between electronegativity and bond polarity.

Definition: Electronegativity is an atom's ability to attract electrons in a covalent bond.

Highlight: The difference in electronegativity determines bond type:

  • 0-0.4: Nonpolar covalent
  • 0.4-1.5: Polar covalent
  • 1.5-2.0: Ionic or polar covalent
  • 2.0: Ionic

Example: H-Cl shows polar covalent bonding due to electronegativity differences.

COMPOUNDS
-Are held together by chemical bonds.
REPRESENTATION OF ATOMS & IONS
Valence electrons: S and p electrons in the highest principle

Page 5: Molecular Geometry and Polarity

The final page covers molecular geometry and its relationship to polarity.

Definition: VSEPR Theory states that molecular shape is determined by minimizing electron pair repulsion.

Example: CO₂ is linear and nonpolar despite having polar bonds due to its symmetrical structure.

Highlight: Molecular polarity depends on both bond polarity and molecular geometry.

Vocabulary: Hybridization - The mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals for bonding.

COMPOUNDS
-Are held together by chemical bonds.
REPRESENTATION OF ATOMS & IONS
Valence electrons: S and p electrons in the highest principle

Page 1: Fundamentals of Chemical Bonding and Lewis Structures

This page introduces the basic concepts of chemical bonding and Lewis dot structure representation. The content focuses on valence electrons and their role in forming chemical bonds.

Definition: Valence electrons are the s and p electrons in the highest principal energy level of an atom.

Example: The Lewis structure of H₂O shows how electrons are shared between atoms to achieve stable configurations.

Highlight: The systematic approach to drawing Lewis structures involves counting valence electrons, drawing skeletal structures, and placing electrons to achieve full octets.

Vocabulary: Skeletal structure - A representation showing how atoms are connected without showing all electrons.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
