Day 1: 8/30

1. Review of atomic structure:

2. Review of Lewis Structure:

Mostly talk in organic chemistry.

only need to focus on valence electrons for reactivity.

We will use dots to depicts electrons

To simplify bonding pairs electrons are presented

It follows the electronegativity trend

Dipole moment is only talking about bond

Measure the polarity of a covalent bond=charge of an atom times the distance between nucleus

When there is more bonds, more electrons to electronegativity, which leaves a bigger partial charge.

Rule for drawing Lewis structure:

1. For each atom: determine # valence electrons.

A. Take charge into account

B. Draw Lewis structures for each atom

2. Forming bonds between atoms to the extend possible each 2nd row elements should have an octet

3. Check formal charge=# valence electrons

A. Formal charge= Valence electron-[bond pair electrons/2 + lone pair electrons]

Day 2: 9/4

1. Lewis structure

2. USEPR

3. Resonance Structure

Lewis structure doesn't tell us the 3D shape.

Valence shell electron pair repulsion theory

Two more examples

Rule of VSEPR:

1. Count the number of groups of electrons density

A. 1, single

B. 1, double

C. 1, triple

D. 1, lone pair

Resonance
