CHEM1901 - Resources for Week 6


Topics and Learning Outcomes

  • Lewis Structures
    •  draw out plausible Lewis structures for simple polyatomic molecules
    •  assign bond orders based on sharing of electron pairs and resonance structures
    •  identify carbon-carbon single, double and triple bonds, as well as aldehyde, alcohol and nitrile functional groups and their bonding
  • VSEPR
    •  assign molecular shapes based on Lewis structures
    •  recognise four functional groups: aldehyde, alcohol, ketone and nitrile
    •  reconise three kinds of carbon-carbon bonds and know their names (alkane, alkene, alkyne) and shapes.

Textbook and eBook References

  • Lewis Structures - Section 5.3
  • VSEPR - Sections 5.4 and 5.5
the eBook references are free and are taken from high quality sources.
