CHM1321/1721: Resonance, Arrow Pushing and Acid-Base Chemistry

Review Session Details
  • Electron arrow pushing 
  • Drawing curved arrows
  • Drawing resonance forms/contributors
  • Identifying major and minor resonance forms
  • Drawing resonance hybrid structure
  • Acid-Base mechanism 
  • Assessing a lone pair's strength
    • Resonance, electronegativity, atom size, inductive effect and s-character
  • Assessing acidity and basicity
  • Using pKa to assess acidity
  • Using conjugate base stability to assess acidity
  • Determining equilibrium direction for acid/base reactions
  • Drawing conjugate base and acid

 

  • Review Session will include problem solving from past Midterm questions.
  • All registered students will receive "Midterm 2 Package" that includes multiple Midterms related to the above topics from previous years given by uOttawa Professors!
