Review Session Details
- Atomic and molecular orbitals: bonding/antibonding/non-bonding orbitals, geometry, hybridization
- Resonance: identify where resonance occurs, major/minor resonance forms, resonance hybrid, when to stop making resonance forms
- Assessing lone pair strength: resonance stabilization, charge, electronegativity, atomic radius, inductive effect, s-character and alkylation
- Acid/base reactions: general mechanism, strength of acid and base, pKa and direction of equilibrium
- Stereochemistry: meso compound, R/S configuration, E/Z configuration
- Alkane projections: drawing and converting from line structure to chairs, Fisher projections and Newman projections
- Nucleophiles and Electrophiles: present the various nucleophiles and electrophiles for the course
