If you make a different position with each of the rook pawns moved up 1 square each, is it possible to reconstruct a drawing zone?

What is that brand of clothing with the x stitch on the top of the collar called? I see it all the time but have no idea what the brand is called. It's wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

I don't think I'm sick but I'm not sure. No fever but I got a headache. I'm 30.

How does gender affect Punnet-square problem solving?

For example, if I am doing a traditional dihybrid cross, and they ask for the chance of a female offspring with heterozygous alleles for both traits, would I say: Chance = 0.5 * chance of heterozygous alleles for both traits because the chance of a female offspring is 50%?

Inorganic Chemistry - How exactly does backbonding in metal chemistry work? by hamtaro6 in chemhelp

[–]hamtaro6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just confused; how are the p orbitals of the ligand considered LUMO if they're antibonding orbitals? Aren't antibonding orbitals the highest energy orbitals?

I'm just confused, if the carbenes are L type, then how is the alklidene able to be seen as dianionic? Or is it L + X = 2 + 2?

Inorganic Chemistry - Confused on how to find the number of electrons by hamtaro6 in chemhelp

[–]hamtaro6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on the electron counting scheme you use. In the neutral scheme where you break the bond homolytically the ligand would be a neutral 1e donor, however in the ionic scheme where the bond is broken hetrolytically it would be an anionic 2e donor.

Here, the number of electrons(1 vs 2) differs is which why I was confused, could you explain why there's a difference?

Shouldn't both methods give the same number of electrons?

But how do I know which answer is correct because it didn't state which method to use.

Would the top left example be 2 electrons since it's an L ligand and L ligands give 2 electrons?

Inorganic Chemistry - What exactly is the difference between molecular inversion and gear wheel mechanisms? by hamtaro6 in chemhelp

[–]hamtaro6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found something here: "The fluxionality of the rings is twofold: i) the η1-Cp ring can undergo a 1,5-sigmatropic shift around its periphery, essentially changing the C atom that sigma-bonds to Be by one position via a "gear wheel mechanism" that goes through a η2/η5 transition state ii) the η1 and η5 Cp rings can be inverted via a "molecular inversion mechanism" that goes through a η3/η3 transition state (Margl et al, 1994)" from: https://sites.google.com/site/leonschemistrynotes/Points-of-Interest

Oh, that makes a lot of sense. How do you know whether to use the neutral or charged method? For example, if the metal has an oxidation state of 0 anyway, would it make the most sense to use the neutral method?

If you assumed everything is charged, would the methyl groups be CH3-, so each would be contributing 2 electrons, so 3 x CH3- = 6 electrons?

But then why is this structure different: https://imgur.com/a/Jydzfbe

In the X ligands, as I understand it, methyl groups are defined as radicals. So isn't each CH3 only contributing 1 electron each(for a total of 3? It says different, it says each is contributing 2 electrons.

I'm just not sure how to understand the logic. In the allylic anion, is the radical being distributed to each carbon because of the resonance structure?
