Describe the molecular distance and motion in the three states of matter?
Molecular distance is the furthest and the motion is the fastest in gases. Molecular distance is closer and have much slower motion in liquids. Molecular distance is closest and the molecules move very very slowly (kind of just shake) in solids.
Which best describe the molecular geometry of nitrate ion?
It is a trigonal planar structure - the nitrogen atom in the center.
What do molecular formulas and structural formulas have in common?
Molecular formulas contain no information about the arrangement of atoms. Because of this, one molecular formula can describe a number of different chemical structures. A structural formula is used to indicate not only the number of atoms, but also their arrangement in space.
Describe the molecular geometry of the hydronium ion H3O?
The ion hydronium has a pyramidal form, H atoms forming the base.
A buckyball is a term to describe what?
A buckyball is a short form of buckminsterfullerene. This is a form of Carbon C60 that has a molecular shape like a geodesic dome.
Describe the role of double bonds in predicting molecular geometries?
Double bods count as one pair, and it only shows one pair in the molecular shape
What are the five different molecular geometries?
Molecular geometry is the name of the geometric shape used to describe the shape of a molecule. The five molecular geometries are linear, trigonal planar, bent, tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, and seesaw.
What factors affect the shape of a molecule?
The location in three-dimensional space of the nucleus of each atom in a molecule defines the molecular shape or molecular geometry. Molecular shapes are important in determining macroscopic properties such as melting and boiling points, and in predicting the ways in which one molecule can react with another. A number of experimental methods are available for finding molecular geometries, but we will not describe them here. Instead we will concentrate on several rules based on Lewis diagrams which will allow you to predict molecular shapes.To provide specific cases which illustrate these rules, "ball-and stick" models for several different types of molecular geometries are shown in Table 1. The atoms (spheres) in each ball-and-stick model are held together by bonds (sticks). These electron-pair bonds determine the positions of the atoms and hence the molecular geometry.
Which name is used to describe the following molecular shape?
Trigonal pyramidal

How would you describe the molecular motion of a solid?
Lethargic
Describe how human geographers can help people?
Human geographers can help people by predicting natural calamities such as floods.
Describe the steps used in formatting a computer diskette?
its a molecular herpitoligist
Can orbital hybridization theory can describe both the shape and bonding of the molecules?
Orbital hybridization provides information about both molecular bonding and molecular shape.
What terms describe a substance that has a low melting point and poor electrical conductivity?
covalent and molecular
Which of the following terms does NOT describe a form of a fat?
Which of the following terms does NOT describe a form of a fat?Cholesterol
Biologists use molecular clocks to try to measure?
Generally, a molecular clock is used to describe the rate of molecular change over time that tells you when two species, or taxa, have diverged.
