Test 2

[005388369]

Do we need to know how to calculate anything for Test 2? Or will it all pretty much be concept based?

[Fiona Latifi 1A]

It all seems to be mostly concept based. The only numerical content would be the strengths of bonds and bond angle degrees.

[Pegah Nasseri 1K]

In discussion section, my TA mentioned that it would be more conceptual and there would be less calculations compared to test 1 and the midterm. The test will cover types of intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding, VSEPR formulas and shapes, determining if a molecule is polar or non-polar, pi and sigma bonds, etc. Most of the questions will require drawing a lewis structure, knowing bond angles, knowing general shapes, knowing what bonds are stronger, and knowing where to draw dipole moments.

Since Test 2 will only be on topics covered in the last 3 lectures i'd assume it's going to be mainly concept based.

[Isabella Dal Porto 1H]

So the test will cover topics from section 2D in the textbook to what we've learned now?

It should cover everything since the midterm up to friday's lecture (+the concepts from one slide on monday)

[Lizette Noriega 1H]

The test will cover material after the midterm which has been very conceptual thus far. I don't think certain calculations are required but I would suggest checking in with the TAs

we haven't really learned any equations or anything so mostly conceptual based i believe
