CHEM1101 - Resources for Week 7


Topics and Learning Outcomes

  • Molecular Shape
    •  describe the electron pair geometries and molecular shapes for molecules containing between 2 and 6 electron pairs
    •  assign molecular shapes based on Lewis structures and VSEPR theory
    •  explain the difference between polar bonds and polar molecules
    •  predict, based on molecular shape, whether a molecule will have a net dipole moment
    •  identify carbon-carbon single, double and triple bonds
    •  determine whether a molecule is polar
  • Types of Intermolecular Forces
    •  identify different types of intermolecular forces
    •  determine which forces are present in different molecules
    •  assess which forces are more important
    •  analyse the effect of intermolecular forces on boiling points
  • Gas Laws
    •  use the ideal gas law to relate the number of moles, pressure, volume and temperature of a gas
    •  relate gas density and molar mass
    •  convert between the common units of pressure (atm, Pa and mmHg)
    •  use the appropriate value of the gas constant, R
    •  use Dalton's law of partial pressures
