Breaking Bad Trivia
What color is Walter White's signature "candy"?
Blue
Electron geometry is the same as molecular geometry when there are no ______ present
lone pairs
A covalent bond where the highest electron density lies between the two atoms
Sigma bond
What do you call compounds with the same chemical formula but different molecular structures?
Isomers
What is the formula for bond orbital?
1/2 (Bonding electrons - antibonding electrons)
What kind of high school teacher is Walter White?
Chemistry
What is the steric number of CH4? What is it's electron geometry?
SN = 4, tetrahedral
A covalent bond where the highest electron density lies above and below the internuclear axis
pi bond
What type of hybridization will all chiral centers have?
sp3
When doing molecular orbits we only consider valence electrons (T/F)
T
What vehicle do Walter and Jesse make "candy" during the show's first season?
RV
What is the steric number of NH3? (Hint: Draw the Lewis structure first). What is it's molecular geometry and electron geometry?
SN = 4
molecular geometry = trigonal pyramidal
electron geometry = tetrahedral
What is the hybridization of NH3?
sp3
There are some cases where -CH2 and -CH3 groups have a chiral carbon (T/F)
F
Explain why hydrogen forms a diatomic gas using molecular orbital theory.
If hydrogen were to bond with itself, only bonding orbitals will be filled, leaving the antibonding orbitals empty. This means its favorable for H to bond with another H, making it a diatomic gas.
In what city did the show take place?
Albuquerque
What is the electron and molecular geometry of SF6?
SN = 6, no lone pairs present
Both are octahedral
What is the hybridization of the C in HCN?
sp
Is the following molecule chiral or achiral? If so, identify the chiral centers.
Achiral
As you go up a molecular orbital diagram, what happens to energy? And what about stability?
Energy increases, stability decreases
What was the subject of the controversial episode argued to be a "filler"
fly
An atom has a T-shaped molecular geometry. How many bonds does it have? Lone pairs?
4 bonds, 1 lone pair
What is the hybridization of C in CH2O?
sp2
