Intro To Pre-College Chemistry

Author: Muddassir | Source: IU

1. Atomic Structure & Bonding

Electron configuration & periodic trends

Types of chemical bonds (ionic, covalent, polar covalent)

Hybridization (sp, sp², sp³)

Electronegativity & dipole moments

2. Molecular Structure & Geometry

VSEPR theory and molecular shapes

Resonance structures & formal charge

Intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, Van der Waals)

3. Thermodynamics & Kinetics

Energy changes in reactions (enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs free energy)

Reaction rates & activation energy

Catalysts & their role in reaction mechanisms

4. Acid-Base Chemistry

pH, pKa, and pKb concepts

Bronsted-Lowry vs. Lewis acids and bases

Strength of acids & bases (conjugate acid-base pairs)

5. Functional Groups & Basic Nomenclature

Recognizing common organic functional groups (alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, ketones, etc.)

IUPAC naming system basics

6. Reaction Mechanisms & Electron Flow

Understanding curved arrow notation

Identifying nucleophiles & electrophiles

Basic reaction types (substitution, elimination, addition)
