Heyy, Can you help me explaining induced-dipole/dipole-dipole bonds???? Cannot understand them!!! Freaking Out here
Well basically from what I understand is that the are between polar compounds. Take for example NH3, the N is delta negative (highly electronegative in this case) and H is delta positive (less electronegative). There's 3H and 1N, 3 against 1 so no cancel out, hence there's a dipole. Correct me if I'm wrong :)

how do we know they are going to arrange themselves 180 degree apart?
When there's two electron pairs and both are used for bonding and hence zero lone pair. So you get a linear shape of angle 180. Futhermore, there's no lone pair to cause distortion. Hope that helps! :)

when we draw the structure of I3- we get 3 lone pairs not zero
 

huh

21 Tetramethyl-lead(IV), (CH3)4Pb, increases the rate of the reaction of methane with chlorine.
CH4(g) + Cl2(g) → CH3Cl(g) + HCl(g)
Why can tetramethyl-lead(IV) behave in this way?
A It is a source of methyl radicals.
B It releases CH3+ .
C It reacts with chloromethane and prevents equilibrium being established.
D Metal ions catalyse the reaction.

Ans : A
