CHEM1611 - Resources for Week 3
Topics and Learning Outcomes
The Shapes of Molecules
work out the number of bonding and non-bonding pairs from the Lewis structure of a molecule
predict the distribution of these pairs around an atom
place any lone pairs in appropriate positions to minimize the overall electron pair repulsion
predict and describe the molecular shape
predict the hybridization around C, N and O atoms in organic compounds
relate electronegativity to bond polarity
relate bond polarity and molecular shape to the existence of a molecular dipole moment
Intermolecular forces
describe the different kinds of intermolecular forces that exist
identify which intermolecular forces are present and which are more important between different molecules
relate variations in melting and boiling points in related compounds to their intermolecular forces
