The individual upon completion of Chapter One should be able to accomplish the following:

1. Given a molecular formula of a molecule or an ion, write the Lewis Structure
2. Given a molecular or ionic unit that is an exception to the Octet Rule, write the Lewis Structure
3. Given a molecular formula of a resonance stabilized species, write the resonance hybrids and the composite resonance hybrid (more realistic)
4. Given Bond energy data, determine the Enthalpy change of a reaction
5. Defend the statement: Why are carbon compounds tetravalent and not divalent?
6. Using the Hybridization Theory, explain why Borane is triangular planar
7. Using VSEPR Theory predict the geometry of CH4, :NH3, H2O, BF3, BeH2, CO2
8. Given the molecular formula of a diatomic molecule, predict whether it will have a bond dipole
9. Given the molecular formula of a polyatomic molecule, predict its geometry and its polarity
10. Given the dash structure, convert to condensed formula
11. Given the condensed formula convert to bond line formula
12. Given the bond line formula convert to condensed formula
13. Given two structural formulas, determine whether they are the same molecules, different constitutional isomers, or non-isomeric
14. Be able to draw the orbital diagram of the ground state, excited state, and the hybridized state of an sp2 Boron, sp3 carbon, and an sp Beryllium atom
15. Given one of the second row elements construct an orbital diagram
