CHEM 332: Elementary Organic Chem II

Discover the fascinating world of chemical reactions with N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) in Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl4), initiated by light. Explore the bromination process and its effects on molecules like cyclopentene, 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene, and CH3 toluene, leading to valuable insights into organic chemistry.

This discussion revolves around the classification of chemical bonds as ionic, polar covalent, or covalent based on the electronegativity difference between the atoms involved. The general criteria for this classification are explained: a difference greater than 1.7 indicates an ionic bond, between 0.5 and 1.7 signifies a polar covalent bond, and less than 0.5 designates a covalent bond. It then applies these criteria to four specific examples, including the CC bond in ethane (H?CCH?), the KI bo

This discussion delves into the use of acetone as a solvent for removing water from laboratory glassware, exploring the science behind its effectiveness and the role of hydrogen bonding in facilitating rapid evaporation.

Explore the classification of select molecules based on their polarity. Understand the electron distribution and molecular shapes of Formaldehyde, Methanol, Dichloromethane, and Carbon dioxide. Discover which ones exhibit a net dipole moment and which ones don't.
