Cycle C - Practice Set (Lewis Structure)

• At least a paragraph reflection that describes the types of problems you really understood and why.  Give at least one example.
• I understood bond order and how to solve for them. For example, I could solve for the bond order for the molecule O3 (ozone). The Lewis structure of sulfur trioxide and any other molecule seemed easy to find. Basically, anything having to do with Lewis diagrams seems easy to me for the time being. In addition, the resonance structres and formal charges made sense to me.
• At least a paragraph reflection that describes the types of problems you struggled with and why. Give at least one example.
• The problem about the tetrahedral structure confused me since I didn’t know what it was and how to approach it. Some of the dipole moment and finding the largest/smallest one was difficult. Determining the geometry of each molecule was challenging along with hybridization. (Ex: Describing the hybridization of carbon in a carbonate ion)
• At least one picture of something you did in class during the week with a description of the picture.
• Below is a picture of our Chromatography lab on the Explore day. It shows the different colors on the piece of paper we put into the water. As seen in the picture, the blue dye has a slight edge over the orange and red dye.
