Comment by Atticus283blink on Are there different types of symmetry?
Thanks for the comment! So when we say water is asymmetric exactly how is it asymmetric, in what context? Orbital electrons? Again as you and i noted previously, it is asymmetric yet a line can be...

@Noel how does Cu end up as cu2+? Also, in the third picture, (where it is blue) it depicts that in the free floating solution there are now cu2+ ions and NO3-, how does the copper become detached from...

Hi @Sixtytrees Thanks so much for the answer! Weirdly I can't find anything further about redox potential in my book (chemistry the central science 13e.d Brown). It simply talks about redox reactions...

So if you combine NH3 + HCL the bonding is done by a proton transfer or indirect electron transfer and if so, what "H" gives the Cl the electron?

Answer by Atticus283blink for Phosphates Functional Group
@ EDL, thank you. Im still confused on how the image above had a 2- charge. Im assuming the whole molecule is a formal charge of 0, correct? But if the 2 O atoms indicated in your drawing each have a...

Phosphates Functional Group
In my text book it states that a phosphate group is considered to be $\ce{-OPO3^{2-}}$. However, online it states that phosphate is $\ce{PO4^{3-}}$. Why do these contradict? Am i confusing phosphate...

New to chemistry so forgive the fundamental question. What exactly determines the element's charge? Oxygen has 2- and hydrogen has 1+. Oxygen wants to receive 2 electrons to complete a shell when...
View ArticleAre there different types of symmetry? [duplicate]
What factor does the symmetry of a molecule play? For example, I know water is asymmetric so does this therefore make water polar (I know in fact that is is)? It may sound ignorant due to my lack of...
