Organic Chemistry I ACS Final Exam Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

Review of topic covered on the ACS organic chemistry exam

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

Orbitals + Hybrid­ization

S orbital
Sphere, low energy, one orbital, holds up to 2e
P orbital
Dumbell, high energy, 3 orbitals, can hold up to 6e
Hybrid­ization
The hybrid­ization is sp( # different e- fields -1)

Lewis structure + Formal charge

 
 

Molecular geometry

Sigma bonds
all single bonds, stronger, usually allows rotation, axial overlap
Pi bonds
double and triple bonds, slightly longer, restricted rotation creating cis and trans
