Important Topics for Review – See Chapters 1-3 of Brown-Foote-Iverson
Chapter 1
Covalent bonding in organic molecules
Covalent bonding as "electron-sharing" between atomic pairs
Particularly stable electronic configuration of inert (= noble) gases
Principle: atoms in a bonded state tend to acquire an electronic configuration similar to that of a
noble gas
Bonding in methane: σ-bonds
Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR)
Tetrahedral shape of methane predicted by VSEPR and confirmed by experiment
Use of wedges-and-dashed lines to represent the spatial orientation of atoms in a molecule

Association of tetrahedral geometry about a carbon atom with sp3 hybridization
Possible occurrence of multiple bonds (double, triple) between atoms in an molecule

Alkanes: structure, isomerism, and conformation (eclipsed, staggered forms)
Cycloalkanes (only monocylic molecules; i.e., those containing only 1 ring)
Conformations of cyclohexane (chair, boat, twist-boat)
Cis-trans isomerism in cycloalkanes
Axial and equatorial bonds in a chair cyclohexane

Chirality
Centers of chirality
Stereogenic atoms / centers
R and S convention for designation of configuration of stereogenic centers
Diastereomers
meso compounds
racemic compounds and their resolution into the two enantiomers
