Chapter 5, Problem 42E
The opening quote of this chapter states that “Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. That is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast." What do you think Bronowski meant by this? How does this apply to

Look at the structure of a soap molecule, and explain what happened when you added soap to your oily hands and put your hands under the water for the solubility lab. Why could you wash the oil off your hands with soap and water? You should use chemistry concepts including structure, polarity, and intermolecular forces to explain your answer.

- What is the answer for b?arrow_forwardCould someone help me?? The answer to this question must look similar to the example attached. Back ground info: Atoms of different elements combine with one another to form compounds. It is important to be able to explain how atoms actually come together to form these compounds or chemical bonds. One of the three types of bonds is an ionic bond which is a bond between a metal atom and a nonmetal atom, or a cation and an anion. The Octet Rule is the driving force behind ionic bond formation. The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds. When discussing the octet rule, we do not consider d or f electrons. Only the s and p electrons are involved in the octet rule, making it useful for the main group elements (elements not in the transition metal or inner-transition metal blocks); an octet in these atoms corresponds to an electron…arrow_forwardFollowing is a molecule with polar bonds whose shape was obtained using the VSEPR theory. Specify the molecular shape of this molecule, and whether the molecule is polar or nonpolar. (Hint: In terms of polarity, see whether the dipoles in the molecule cancel or not. A molecule containing polar bonds can be nanpolar if the dipoles cancel each other. You can imagine the dipoles as ropes pulling on the central atom–If the pulls cancel each other, that is, the central atom cannot move, then the molecule is nonpolar. If on the other hand the opposite is true, then the molecule is polar.)
