Important info about the final.
There will be three review sessions. They are all open to any Chemistry 101 students.
Tuesday December 10 - 10:00am to 11:30am in Bob Wright Sci B150 (Dr. McIndoe)
Wednesday December 11 - 10:00am to 11:30am in MacLaurin A144 (Dr. Briggs)
Thursday December 12 - 10:00am to 11:30am in MacLaurin A144 (Dr. McIndoe)
My remaining office hours are Dec 4, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12 from 3-4 in Elliott 307.
Good luck!

will we have to memorize table 7.2 (polymers of commercial importance) for the final?
No, but do make a note of the fact that condensation polymers often have different types of name than addition polymers (which are usually named simple "polyX" where X is the monomer).
will we have to know fullerenes for the final?
Are these review sessions structured? (Will they be the same)? Or if I went to more than 1, it would be different.
Do atoms used in doping have to be in the same period?
Which molecule has the most polar bonds, PF3 or SeBr2? I would think PF3 but my answer says SeBr2.
602: no
628: I will go along with different questions to go over, yes. I suggest coming along to my first one then making a decision on whether it would be worth your while attending another. Based on past history, I'd say that on average, 2/3 of the class will attend one of the 3 review sessions. If you want to go to more than 1, I'd suggest one of mine and Dr. Briggs'.
647: They usually are, simply because they're easier to incorporate if they have nearly the same size. But no, not compulsory.
854: You think right, the answer is wrong.
Is the first review section on the material before the 1st midterm, 2nd on the second midterm material and 3rd session on the material from after the midterm or is it just all the same?
No - we're not expecting people to come to more than one session! (though you're welcome to, of course). All will cover all parts of the course.
Will the final be more heavily weighted toward the Chapters 6 and 7 since those haven't been tested yet, or will it be equally weighted?
Thanks!
Yes, Chapters 6 and 7 will be overrepresented compared to the others.
are ion dipole forces intermolecular forces?
will we have to know the monomers used in chapter 7 or just know what kind of polymer they will form?
will we have to know the kind of catalysts that are used in certain polymerization reactions?
are we expected to know formulas for any particular molecule?
LEARN ALL THE THINGS!
Seriously, I can't comment on all these nitty-gritty details. Part of studying effectively is learning to focus on the important stuff.
I was wondering how the best way would be to find out how many structural isomers a compound has. Such as question 54 on the December 2012 Exam where it asks home many structural isomers of C3H6Cl2 there are
When naming a cis-trans isomer, does the multiple bond have to have the smaller number than any substituents?
Thanks!
830: there are no shortcuts, you have to just draw them all out
849: yes
Does the (Ar)3d^54s^1 exception for Cr and also the (Ar)3d^104s^1 for Cu apply to both columns or just for 3d?
Thanks!
If you are solving for the dipole moment of two atoms, one having a charge of 2- and one with 2+, would you multiply the value of Q by 2?
Why does Ni have a higher boiling point than Pb?
928: I think it applies for Mo, Ag and Au, but not for W.
234: No
428: Given the simple rules you've been taught, you couldn't predict that result.
I was just wondering what the answer to 65 on the 2012 december final was? The question is regarding graphene. Thanks!
D
how many questions are on the final?
65
How do you know what color a LED make produce?
It will emit a photon of the same energy as the band gap.
can you please give me an example?
I just have a question - i'm working on the exercises in the text for Chapter 3 (specifically question 3.57) and the question is asking if bonds in the benzene are molecule shorter then a C-C single bond or a C=C double bond? The back of the book says that they are shorter then a single bond but longer then a double bond...... slightly confusing. Does it mean to say that they are larger then a single C-C bond but smaller then a C=C bond?
Thank you!
