Lecture #22, Monday, November 16th

Today's lecture solely focused on Lewis Structures and I did several examples of various molecules. You will be responsible for the following in terms of Lewis Structures:

*Total # of valence electrons
*Identify the Central Atom
*Identify the Ligands
*Indicate the number of bonding pairs on the central atom
*Indicate the number of lone pairs on the central atom
*Indicate the electron domain geometry of the molecule
*Indicate the molecular geometry of the molecule
*Determine the hybridization of the central atom
*Draw the molecule
*Determine if the molecule is polar or non-polar

On Wed we will continue the talk on Lewis Structures and go through more examples with various different ligands.

The exam was tonight and I will get the average posted as soon as I can.
