<p>if i missed 7 and omitted 6 what is that?</p>

<ul>
<li>will the curve be similar to the blue book?</li>
</ul>

<p>For the set of questions with the triple covalent bond, linear shape, and something else - were we not allowed to put the same answer twice?</p>

<p>you can put the same answer..</p>

<p>So wouldn't N2 also be linear? Everyone keeps saying CO2...or was that another set?</p>

<p>CO2 is definitely linear.</p>

<p>N2 is linear... but then there are only two atoms so either way it will always be 180 degrees but CO2 had three atoms so there is actually and angle of 180 degrees... does that make sense? I dunno that's just what I thought</p>

<p>has anyone taken the SAT II Chem before?</p>

<p>CO2 and N2 are both linear, but you are talking about different problems.</p>

<p>Ok, thanks war chant.</p>

<p>Yeah, but my teacher never taught us about "square planar".. I know CH4 is tetrahedral-- then which one is square planar?</p>

<p>square planar is a molecule with 2 electron pairs and 4 other atoms surrounding the center atom i think</p>

<p>square planer requires sp^3 d^2 hybridization, or 6 electron domains. 4 would be paired and 2 unpaired electron domains. i think an example is like XeCl4, but im not sure... either way, it required the central atom to be beyond P so that it can actual assume more than the octet of electrons and C is not beyond P on teh periodic table so it has to be tetrahedral.</p>

<p>could someone post the curve from the blue book?</p>

<p>for real post that sheet</p>

<p>What did you guys put for the oxidation number of bromine?</p>

<p>i put +5 for the oxidaiton number</p>

<p>78-85: 800
76,77: 790
74,75: 780
72,73: 770
70,71: 760
68,69: 750
67: 750
65,66: 730
63,64: 720
61,62: 710
59,60: 700</p>

<p>GAH. I forgot Boron's oxidation state.</p>

<p>It all seems too obvious now. =(</p>

<p>ok thank you</p>

<p>didnt the question ask "which would cause gases to deviate MOST from ideal"</p>

<p>meaning it would be high pressure and low temp?</p>
