Explain the formation of a covalent bond and know the difference between ionic and covalent bonding.
Determine the polarity of a bond.
Know trends in length and strength of bonds.
Be able to draw Lewis structures, predict the molecular geometry around each central atom as well as the bond angles, and
determine the overall polarity of the molecule.
Know what resonance structures are and how to draw them.
Know what an isomer is and how to draw them.
Be able to assign formal charges to all atoms in a molecule.
Be able to describe atomic orbitals.
Describe the formation of molecular orbitals
Describe the formation of hybridized atomic orbitals, and be able to determine hybridization of an atom
Calculate the number of sigma and pi bonds in a molecule
Identify different types of intermolecular forces (IMF)

Learning Objectives for Chapter 1
Understand curved arrow notation.
Be able to predict major and minor resonance contributors.
Be able to define and draw constitutional isomers.
Understand how to represent the 3-D structure of an organic molecule (wedge/dash)
Be able to draw simplified structures of organic molecules (condensed and skeletal).
1. Draw the Lewis structure for the molecule, CH3CCNH2. Indicate the bond angle and shape of each non-hydrogen central
atom. Classify the molecule as polar or nonpolar.
2. Predict the hybridization and geometry around each non-hydrogen atom.
