CHEMISTRY 2000C Spring 2005

Study Guide for Hour Test 1

• Draw Lewis structures of simple molecules, including resonance structures.
• Determine the hybridization of the sigma bonds, and the geometry about an atom from its Lewis structure.
• Distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary carbon atoms.
• Draw structures from names of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic compounds, including special names such as aniline, phenol, toluene, styrene, etc.
• Name compounds in these classes from their structures.
• Be able to name and draw the common alkyl radicals (Table 19.3).
• Identify functional groups in a compound (Table 19.1, and including the "aromatic" functional group).
• Given a compound, determine its structural and geometric isomers.
• Understand the mechanism and unstable intermediates in the addition of HCl, HBr, and HOH to alkenes and alkynes.
• Understand the mechanism and unstable intermediate in the electrophilic substitution reactions of aromatic compounds.
• Be able to draw the products of reaction of alkenes and alkynes with halogens, KMnO4, HCl, HBr, and HOH, including deciding which is the major product if there are two possibilities.
• Draw the product of reaction of alkyl benzene with KMnO4.
