CHEM1405 - Resources for Week 2
Topics and Learning Outcomes
Stoichiometry
write and balance chemical equations use the mole concept for stoichiometry calculations apply the ideal gas laws consider partial pressures and their real life consequences
Chemical Bonding
explain the characteristics of ionic, metallic and covalent bonding use the difference in electronegativity of two elements to predict the type of bond that will form between them relate electronegativity to bond polarity write Lewis structures for any molecule use the concept of resonance to explain stability apply the hybridization concept explain covalent bonding in terms of orbital sharing
The Shapes of Molecules
use VSEPR to explain and predict molecular shapes deduce shapes from Lewis structures determine the hybridization of C, N and O in organic molecules from the geometry explain bonding in molecules using hybrid orbitals
