Refresher Flashcards
Theme of electronegativity
Top right corner is most electronegative
What element can you just ignore when drawing structures
O
What structures are monovalent and what does that mean
H and halogens (F, Cl, Br, I) and they can just make one bond
How to determine degrees of unsaturation
[(2n+2)-actual]/2
What is DBE
degrees of unsaturation, every one means a double bond
What is an isomer
a different form of the same structure
How do you count formal charge
count each bond as one and each electron as one and any extra from expected (from periodic table) is - and less is +
What is the smallest ring
3 points
How do you know what the best structure is when they both have a charge
charge is on the most electronegative atom
On a bond line, what is the rule about writing carbons
Once you write a carbon, you much write the hydrogens attached to them
How many carbons are needed for bond-line
at least 3
How many sigma bonds are in a pi bond
2
4 VSPER Units hybridization, geometry, bond angle
sp3, tetrahedral, 109.5
3 VSPER Units hybridization, geometry, bond angle
sp2, trigonal planar, 120
2 VSPER Units hybridization, geometry, bond angle
sp, linear, 180
