Exceptions to the Octet Rule02:55

Exceptions to the Octet Rule

37.7K
Many covalent molecules have central atoms that do not have eight electrons in their Lewis structures. These molecules fall into three categories:

Lewis Symbols and the Octet Rule

81.1K
Chemical bonds are complex interactions between two or more atoms or ions, which reduce the potential energy of the molecule. Gilbert N. Lewis developed a model called the Lewis model that simplified the depiction of chemical bond formation and provided straightforward explanations for the chemical bonds seen in most common compounds.

The Aufbau Principle and Hund's Rule

73.0K
To determine the electron configuration for any particular atom, we can build the structures in the order of atomic numbers. Beginning with hydrogen, and continuing across the periods of the periodic table, we add one proton at a time to the nucleus and one electron to the proper subshell until we have described the electron configurations of all the elements. This procedure is called the aufbau principle, from the German word aufbau (“to build up”). Each added electron occupies the...

Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

3.3K
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

Decision Making01:20

Decision Making

991
Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.
Automatic decision-making is fast, intuitive, and relies on gut feelings...

Calculating the Equilibrium Constant02:46

Calculating the Equilibrium Constant

38.1K
The equilibrium constant for a reaction is calculated from the equilibrium concentrations (or pressures) of its reactants and products. If these concentrations are known, the calculation simply involves their substitution into the Kc expression.
For example, gaseous nitrogen dioxide forms dinitrogen tetroxide according to this equation:

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Emergency medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Knee injuries are common in trauma patients.
  • Radiographic imaging of the knee is frequently overutilized.
  • Clinical decision rules can optimize diagnostic pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the Ottawa Knee Rule.
  • To define criteria for low-risk knee trauma patients.
  • To guide decisions regarding knee radiography.

Main Methods:

  • The Ottawa Knee Rule comprises specific clinical and physical examination findings.
  • These criteria identify patients with a low probability of fracture.
  • Patients meeting the criteria are considered not to require knee imaging.

Main Results:

  • The Ottawa Knee Rule demonstrates high sensitivity for detecting clinically significant knee fractures.
  • Application of the rule can significantly reduce the number of knee radiographs ordered.
  • It accurately identifies patients who can safely forgo imaging.

Conclusions:

  • The Ottawa Knee Rule is an effective tool for managing knee trauma patients.
  • It aids clinicians in judiciously ordering knee imaging.
  • Implementation can lead to cost savings and reduced radiation exposure.
