Molecule Polarity and Hybridization


In class today, we discussed a couple of new important topics.

First off, we were able to look over and correct our quizzes on Lewis Structures and molecular geometry. After we finished with the corrections, we continued our notes from friday on molecule polarity. These notes can be seen on Moodle under the Notes section of this chapter.

We also learned a bit about the new subject of Hybridization. Hybridization is just the blending of electron orbitals. These notes should also be under the Notes section along with the molecule polarity ones.

Homework:
-Complete Hybridization Web Assign by tomorrow night 11:59 p.m.!
-Fill out the two worksheets picked up at the beginning of class (should be under the Handouts section)

Also, A Couple of "ChrisTips" on Lewis Structures and Molecular Geometry...
-Make sure you determine the correct amount of valence electrons in the molecule (common mistake)
-Make sure to use your mind to visualize the 3-dimensional figure of the molecule with the help of a Lewis Structure
-Don't ever forget to use BRACKETS around Lewis Structures of IONS :)


Well that's all she (HE actually...) wrote guys! Tune in next time for some more "ChrisTips"!!
