    DAT DAT General Chemistry Question of the Day: Molecular Geometry Application — Dr. Jim Romano | DAT Destroyer | OAT Destroyer

    DAT questions often test application, not memorization. Today’s General Chemistry Question of the Day focuses on a molecular geometry application involving a coordination compound. Rather than asking for definitions, this question requires reasoning by analogy to determine how molecular...

    Hybridized/Unhybridized orbitals

    I stumbled upon this problem: "The s and p orbitals of Pb are poorly energetically matched, and do not noticeably hybridize. In Pb(II) compounds, the two remaining electrons on Pb reside in an unhybridized s orbital, and bonding utilizes only the p-orbitals. In gaseous PbCl2, what is the...
