Will it cover material that we will learn on this coming Monday's lecture as well or just up until today (Friday's) lecture?

Re: Midterm
I understand that we don't have to memorize the bond angles, but since we have to know the names of the molecular shapes should we also know the actual shapes too?

Re: Midterm
I think we should know the general shape of the molecule - such as what a tetrahedral looks like - but we don't need to be able to draw it. He just wants us to be able to take a molecule and state its shape, without any picture or specifics.

The new material that we learned on Friday went past page 105 on the course reader, so we won't be tested on that, and because he will likely go even further than that on Monday, we probably won't be tested on that for our midterm either. He said in his announcements at the end that we won't be tested on molecular orbital theory either, so I'm assuming that anything after that as well will not be included on the midterm for Wednesday.

Please read Announcements:

Very clear what is and what is not covered.
Molecular Orbital Theory is not on the Midterm.

Re: Midterm
Can some explain when or why we use hybridization? Are we expected to know how to label bonds within a molecule that are hybridized?

As discussed in class hybridization is needed to obtain the correct bonding. Carbon, for example, has only two unpaired electrons yet it forms four bonds.
Yes you are expected to know how to label bonds within a molecule that are hybridized. See homework questions on this.
