Test 2

[Donavin Collins 1F]

I'm a bit confused on what exactly is going to be on test 2. Can someone explain to me what's going to be on it? Thank you.

Content that wasn't on the midterm to Monday's lecture (11/18). I think material such as chemical bonds/forces, VSEPR (shapes, angles) and some sigma/pi bond stuff.

[Jessica Esparza 2H]

Everything covered recently, and one slide from Monday's lecture. I believe it's going to be hybridization.

[Amina Durrani 3G]

Basically all intermolecular interactions, so post midterm until next Monday’s lecture (we have to know pi and sigma bonds from that lecture).

[SajaZidan_1K]

There is not going to be quantum or fundamentals on the exam. It will be the material starting with types of bonds ( eg. London Dispersion) all the way until Monday's lecture on hybridization (Pi and Sigma Bonds).

According to an email from my TA test 2 will include:
-Use the Valence-Shell Electron-Pair Repulsion Model (VSEPR) to determine the shape of inorganic, organic, and small biological molecules, cations, and anions.
-Use bond dipole moments and shape to determine if a molecule is polar or non-polar.
-Use shape and polar or non-polar properties, identify different intermolecular interactions/forces (H-bonding, dipole-dipole, dispersion).
-Explain why lone pairs are more likely to found in certain locations around a central atom and how and why they affect the bond angles in a molecule, cation, or anion.
-Distinguish sigma and pi bonds by their shapes, properties, and component orbitals.
