The three groups of electron pairs are arranged in a trigonal plane. Thus, the molecular shape of COCl2 is trigonal planar. How does phosgene work? At room temperature (70°F), phosgene is a poisonous gas. With cooling and pressure, phosgene gas can be converted into a liquid so that it canRead More →
As has an expanded octet: exception to the octet rule. Therefore, the compound arsenic pentafluoride, AsF5 is an exception to the octet rule. Does no2 obey the octet rule? Nitrogen dioxide is the chemical compound with the formula NO2. Again, nitrogen dioxide does not follow the octet rule for oneRead More →
Water, glucose, and IKI molecules are smaller than the pore membranes because they were able to diffuse through the membrane while the starch molecules are the biggest because they could not diffuse through the membrane. Why is starch an ideal storage molecule? Starch molecules consists of two components: Amylose andRead More →
Hetroatomic molecules must have more than one type of atom, such as water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). A Homoatomic molecule is a molecule consisting of atoms of the same element. Good examples would be oxygen (O2), hydrogen (H2), and nitrogen (N2). Homoatomic molecules are also called “Diatomic” molecules. WhatRead More →
Methanol appears as a colorless fairly volatile liquid with a faintly sweet pungent odor like that of ethyl alcohol. Completely mixes with water. The vapors are slightly heavier than air and may travel some distance to a source of ignition and flash back. How many molecules are in methanol? MethanolRead More →
