Thank you Dr. Lavelle for the copious amount of resources you give this class. This class had more helpful resources than any other I have taken at UCLA so far with the TA/UA office hours, chemistry community, and course reader. The intro to organic chemistry course reader should be extremely helpfu...

I don't think we have to consider alkenes and alkynes functional groups. Lavelle only mentioned we should be able to identify and name Halides, alcohols, ethers, ketones, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, and amines.

In electrolysis, the voltage come from an outside source, and not from the reactants spontaneously. Thus, the Eo is non spontaneous and negative in electrolysis reactions. When you add the Eo of reactants, you want your total Eo of the reaction to be as negative as possible instead of as positive as...

Yes the reaction rate is usually determined by concentration (M) divided by time which could be seconds or minutes, hours, etc. k only has different units because you may be multiplying and dividing multiple units of (M/s) together

14C and 14CL can be taken at the same time, but it is really up to your personal preference whether you want to take both at the same time or take 14CL in the future.

Yes, particles with high thermal energy transfer thermal energy in the same way as high energy particles. They transfer thermal energy by crashing into particles of lower thermal energy, and the energy moves from higher to lower concentration. An example would be the high thermal energy of coffee th...

I was able to place out of Math 3A and was planning on taking Math 3B winter quarter 2017. However, now I want to take LS30A instead of Math 3B, but will I still be able to enroll in chem 14B next quarter then chem 14C while taking LS30B spring 2017?

Additionally you would rather have the central atom have a FC of 0. If FC=0 cannot be achieved for all the atoms, it is better to put the negative FC on the most electronegative atom.

Yes, the presence of electrons in bonds and especially lone pairs of e- is what determines the shape (tetrahedral, trigonal planar, trigonal bipyramidal)

The electron affinity for elements in Group 15 is much lower than elements in Group 14, 16, or 17 because elements in Group 15 have a half filled p subshell which is more stable than having an electron in Px, Py but not Pz orbital, or having not a full 6 electron p subshell. So they break the period...

Einstein's equation E= mc^2 is really just a shortened version of the real equation: E²=(mc²)²+(pc)². E=mc^2 is used for bodies with mass but are not moving while the other equation is used for bodies that are moving such as a photon. So when a photon is massless we can simplify the equation to E=pc...

When we are using the equation: E(photon)(hv) - threshold energy = excess kinetic energy of electron (1/2mv 2 ) We know increasing E(photon) will result in more excess electron kinetic energy. But how do we know whether that excess KE is either more electrons (more mass) being ejected from a surface...
