Structural formula
Shows the connectivity between atoms
Line angle formula
Carbon: not shown

Acid: H+ doner
Base: (-)OH donor
Acid base:
Bronsted-Lowry
Acid: H+ donor
Base: H+ acceptor
Acid base:

Electron pair acceptor
Electron pair donor
How to obtain ka
Ka= [H+] [A-]
———–
[HA]
Which acid is more stable; one that is more electronegative or one that isn’t?
Electronegative bcs wants to hold onto the e- closer and so stable
Which acid is more stable (during rxn): one that is a larger atom or one that isn’t?
The larger atom is more stable bcs pain is spread out
Which compound is more stable: one that has a resonance or one that doesn’t?
The one that has the most resonance is more stable bcs resonance; means spread out damage
Molecular orbitals
#MO = #AO (antibonding orbitals) Creates bond | Breaks bond
Formal charge
(# VE) - (#VE in bonded atom)
Remember: one line bond is just 1 electron
Hybridization
When atomic orbitals combine to form hybrid orbitals
S orbitals: + with a s
P orbitals: plane with xyz
How to determine hybridization
Count the regions of high electron density
C: or -C or =C still one region
- ..sp3
- ..sp2
- ..sp
Isomers
Different molecules with same molecular formula
