CHEM 331: Organic Chemistry

Explore why fluorine, with its seven valence electrons, doesn't form compounds like FH? or FCl?. Understand the role of VSEPR theory, atomic size, and electronegativity in limiting bond formation. Grasp the interplay of geometric challenges and electron repulsion in compound stability.

Unravel the concepts of 'Molar Solubility' and 'Solubility Product' to gauge salt solubility. Explore how Calcium Phosphate dissociates in solutions and calculate its unique Ksp value.

We explore synthesis and decomposition reactions, showcasing examples like the formation of water and its breakdown into simpler substances. We also clarify that while many of these reactions are redox reactions involving electron transfer, some synthesis and decomposition reactions may not necessarily be redox reactions, as seen in specific examples.

This video delves into the significance of electron configurations in understanding an atom's chemical behavior. It examines and corrects inaccuracies in the electron configurations of Aluminium (Al), Boron (B), and Fluorine (F). For instance, the electron configuration for Aluminium is initially presented with an incorrect number of electrons in the 2p subshell, stressing the importance of adhering to the rules of electron configuration for precise atomic representation.

Explore how to calculate the theoretical yield of TiCl? in moles based on different initial quantities of reactants in the chemical equation Ti + 2 Cl? ? TiCl?.
