1. A Review of General Chemistry

Which of the following is NOT conducive to long-term, meaningful learning of organic chemistry?

Which of the following does NOT describe organic chemistry?

Fill in the blank: Organic chemistry is _________.

True or false: Massed studying the night before an exam is effective for long-term memory and learning?

There is a small portion of the periodic table that you must know to do organic chemistry. Construct this part from ­memory, using the following steps. a. From memory, make a list of the elements in the first two rows of the periodic table, together with their numbers of valence electrons b. Use this list to construct the first two rows of the periodic table. c. Organic compounds often contain sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. Add these elements to your ­periodic table.

a. Draw resonance contributors for the following species. Do not include structures that are so unstable that their contributions to the resonance hybrid would be negligible. Indicate which are major contributors and which are minor contributors to the resonance hybrid. b. Do any of the species have resonance contributors that all contribute equally to the resonance hybrid? 9.
