CHM-235 Organic Chemistry I
Course Description: Rigorous introduction to the
chemistry of carbon-containing compounds. Reaction mechanisms and recent
methods of synthesis emphasized.
Prerequisites: CHM152 and CHM152LL; or CHM154 and
CHM154LL.
Course Materials:
Here is a link for molecular model kits.

This kit
has orbital paddles.

There
are a few different versions of the Molecular Visions Organic Set (Kit 1, 1A,
or 2A).
These sets are cheaper (~$14.00)
but do not have orbital paddles.
As with all purchases, shop around. If you find another good website, let
me know.

Hybrid Orbitals: A couple of key points to remember:
1 - If you add n atomic orbitals, you'll end up with n
hybrid orbitals.
2 - The hybrid orbitals formed will point as far apart as
possible.
3 - Remember that in the case of sp2 and sp
hybrids there are unhybridized p-orbitals remaining.
For
some alternate depictions of atomic orbitals, there are a many well-constructed
websites. Below are a few URL's you can check out. I tried to stick
to the less elaborate sites so that they could run on most computers.
http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/electromag/java/atomicorbitals/
This site shows images of s, p , d, and
f atomic orbitals. You can view them individually or several at a time.
Keep in mind that we will deal mainly with hybridization of just the s
and p atomic orbitals. Take a look at the f-orbitals just for fun.
http://www.orbitals.com/orb
This website has images of various atomic orbitals, but not just s, p , d, and f orbitals. It even shows images of more
complicated orbitals.
http://www.towson.edu/~ladon/carbon.html
This is a tutorial on the electron configurations in
carbon atoms and it also deals with hybridized orbitals.
Electron Motion Why worry about orbitals and electron motion
in the first place?
