MOlecular formula
Molecules, by definition, are most often held together with covalent bonds involving single, double, and/or triple bonds, where a "bond" is a shared pair of electrons (the other method of bonding between atoms is called ionic bonding and involves a positive cation and a negative anion).
Molecular geometries can be specified in terms of bond lengths, bond angles and torsional angles. The bond length is defined to be the average distance between the centers of two atoms bonded together in any given molecule. A bond angle is the angle formed between three atoms across at least two bonds. For four atoms bonded together in a chain, the torsional angle is the angle between the plane formed by the first three atoms and the plane formed by the last three atoms.
There exists a mathematical relationship among the bond angles for one central atom and four peripheral atoms (labeled 1 through 4) expressed by the following determinant. This constraint removes one degree of freedom from the choices of (originally) six free bond angles to leave only five choices of bond angles. (Note that the angles , , , and are always zero.)

The surface area of a sphere is:

Archimedes first derived this formula[citation needed] from the fact that the projection to the lateral surface of a circumscribed cylinder (i.e. the Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection) is area-preserving; it equals the derivative of the formula for the volume with respect to r because the total volume inside a sphere of radius r can be thought of as the summation of the surface area of an infinite number of spherical shells of infinitesimal thickness concentrically stacked inside one another from radius 0 to radius r. At infinitesimal thickness the discrepancy between the inner and outer surface area of any given shell is infinitesimal, and the elemental volume at radius r is simply the product of the surface area at radius r and the infinitesimal thickness.
At any given radius r, the incremental

    We are going to investigate the functional group’s bond type and strength by 3 different method, resonance theory, Spartan 3D modeling program, and the IR spectrophotometer. By resonance theory, we are going to draw out Lewis structure for each compound, then based on the numbers of the resonance we are able to create to determine the bond strength for each functional group. As for second method, we are using the Spartan modeling software, where we are able to draw out each of the functional group and have the software calculate the theoretical bond strength for us. And lastly, the IR spectroscopy are used is this experiment to measure the bond strength of each compound, and all the significant data are being collected in our lab notebook in order to further compare with theoretical bond strength. IR spectrophotometer reads off the amount of electromagnetic spectrum being absorbed by the compound then project the frequency IR graph on the computer.…
