Document Summary
A course for students of the life sciences. Objective: to learn some of the fundamental principles which allow us to understand the reactions of organic molecules. An introduction to spectroscopy (using infra-red light to detect functional groups) Dashed wedges indicate a bond sticking back behind the plane. Wedges indicate a bond sticking out in front of the plane. Covalent bonds ionic bonds valence bond theory. Vsepr: deriving the shapes of organic chemistry hybridization: explaining the shapes of organic chemistry. Ohooelectronic structure of the atom: schr dinger model (1926) de broglie: matter with wave properties wave equation: Y = wavefunction or orbital = a mathematical function having wave characteristics. Describes volume of space where electron is most likely to be found. Solving h y e y for h-atom, 3d orbitals: third row elements (e. g. , s, p, cl) mvh from. Theory predicts that, for the h-atom, the s, p, and d orbitals are degenerate, i. e. will have the same energy.
