Organic Chemistry Assignments Chapter 1: Week 2
Work Due by: Tuesday, September 6
Learning Goal: To be able to describe atomic and molecular structure and bonding, and properly represent organic molecules.
(These should be review topics, but it is important to have a strong understanding of these concepts before diving into organic chemistry topics.)

Grade
Molecular Orbital
Theory (MO)
Determine the
hybridization of
elements in organic
molecules.
1). Read sections 1.5-1.8 (there is a
missing lecture so you need to familiarize
and review hybridization (section 1.14).
MO theory is new!
