My Notes
Categories
This presentation is meant to be a review of constructing and utilizing an MO diagram, in this case O2. It's designed to be viewed as a powerpoint and printed out to keep for the student's notebook.
It can be used at multiple levels: as a review immediately after learning MO theory in general chemistry, or as a refresher before starting upper level inorganic chemistry. The instructure could add text or voice over the slides to add more detail or leave the presentation as is for students.
If you'd like .psd or .pdf files of the drawings in these presentation, please contact me directly.

After reviewing this material students should be able to:
Recall the shape, size and appropriate nodes of atomic orbitals.
Note the appropriate electron configuration of a given atom.
Draw molecular orbitals with the appropriate sign and node position.
Apply the Aufbau Principle to molecular orbitals to determine the ultimate spin state of a molecule.
Determine the bond order of a molecule from a completed MO diagram.
Manipulate the bond order of a molecule with Reduction/Oxidation.
I plan on uploading this flash review (along with others) to my class site before students arrive to my upper level inorganic course. I will voice over the slides, explaining the concepts, so they're ready to apply molecular orbital theory on the first day of class.
Evaluation
I will compare student preparedness between this class and a previous one that did not receive a review.
This will be updated in the future.
