Today I finished the transition metal unit by covering high spin/low spin complexes and we also analyzed the orbital interactions and molecular orbital energies of tetrahedral and square planar molecules (In addition to the octahedral complexes we discussed at length before today). This will allow you to complete all of the old exam questions dealing with the # of unpaired electrons in transition metal complexes and they will be fair game for the second exam.
We are now going to switch gears and move on the the next unit, which is Thermochemistry. I talked about the first Law of Thermodynamics and spontaneous processes today and will continue to discuss thermochem by talking about Entropy in class on Friday.
I hope the exam went well today :) The exam key is now posted on Carmen.
