Lesson 3.6
Empirical and Molecular Formulas
This lecture begins by outlining the differences between empirical and molecular formulas.
Example problems involve finding empirical and molecular formulas from the percent composition
of elements in a compound and from a combustion analyses. As with all lecture formatted learning
activates in our package, this lesson comes with a slide show presentation, a slide-by-slide
discussion outline for teachers, students' notes, a worksheet providing students with the
opportunity to further explore the concepts and problem types covered, and a complete solution
key for the worksheet.
Lesson 4.8
Valence Bond Theory and Hybrid Orbital Theory
This lecture opens with a brief overview of valence bond theory and its deficiencies in regard to
molecular shape. It then goes on to describe how the shapes predicted by VSEPR theory result
from the promotion of electrons and subsequent hybridization of orbitals. The lesson closes with
an examination of the role that hybrid orbital play in double and triple bonds. We invite you to
examine the slide show presentation, discussion outline for teachers, students' notes, worksheet,
and worksheet solution key for this lesson.
Lesson 6.6
Colligative Properties of Solutions
This lecture examines the concepts and calculations associated with the four colligative properties
of solutions. It also explores ideal and non-ideal solutions as well as the differences between
volatile and non-volatile solutes. We invite you to examine the slide show presentation, discussion
outline for teachers, students' notes, worksheet, and worksheet solution key for this lesson.
Lesson 15.1
Reaction Rates and Rate Laws
This lecture opens by examining the concept of rate and how rate changes as a system
approaches equilibrium. It then discusses rates laws and reaction order with respect to individual
reactants and the overall chemical reaction. The lesson closes with some example problems that
unfold one step at a time. We invite you to examine the slide show presentation, discussion outline
for teachers, students' notes, worksheet, and worksheet solution key for this lesson.
Lesson 17.1
Naming Alkanes
This lecture opens with a brief history of the classification of organic compounds. It then outlines
the IUPAC system for naming alkanes and the structural isomers of alkanes, including
cycloalkanes. We invite you to examine the slide show presentation, discussion outline for
teachers, students' notes, worksheet, and worksheet solution key for this lesson.
