Weak acids play a prominent role in organic chemistry. Hydrogen cations (H+1), “protons”, are frequently found in an initial or final step of a sequence of fundamental steps in the

Orbital HybridizationOrbital Hybridization
Orbital Hybridization Orbital hybridization controls the local geometry around an atom. More than any other factor, the hybridization state of electron orbitals is responsible for the shape of molecules.

Molecular ShapeMolecular Shape
Molecular Shape Important The structure of a molecule is not complete until you know the molecular shape. Molecules which have seemingly an identical molecular shape often have very different

Polar Molecule and Nonpolar MoleculePolar Molecule and Nonpolar Molecule
The difference between a polar molecule and a nonpolar molecule depends on molecular geometry. Polar Bonds Polar result when two different elements share electrons and form a covalent bond.
Electronegativity and PolarityElectronegativity and Polarity
Bond polarity comes from different elements having different electronegativity; the innate ability to attract electrons within a covalent bond. Electronegativity Each element has a value for electronegativity to compare
