THIS NEWSLETTER IS UPDATED ON FRIDAY EACH WEEK DURING THE SEMESTER WITH ITEMS THAT RELATE TO WHAT'S HAPPENING IN CHEM351F24:
Here is a link to the big picture view of the semester as a whole : course calendar (remember that teaching is a dynamic process and sometimes things have to change!)
This is written based on L02 in-person progress but this will help L01 students keep track of where they should be.
CHEM351F24 wk10, Oct 28-Nov 4
CHEM351F24 MT was Oct 30th 2024. Grading is underway but with the small grading team, we don't expect to have grading complete before Nov 8th.
CHEM351F24 deferred MT runs WED Nov6th 19:00-21:00. Like the regular MT, the deferred MT covers all lecture materials up to and including IR, CAL 1-3, laboratory up to an including models, plus working knowledge of prerequisites.
CAL TUTORIALS (SA204)
LABORATORY
LECTURE topics (L01, L02) (including review list of previous weeks):
(Nov 11-15) | F24 Semester break (no classes) |
Wk 10 (Nov 4-8) |
Nuclear
magnetic resonance (NMR), shielding, magnetic
anisotropy Corresponds to content video modules 13A, 13B and TBA (D2L content folder, videos/templates will added when they are available and keeping pace with in-person L02, but posted after L02 occurs) |
Wk 9 (Oct 28-Nov 1) |
Mass
spectrometry : basis
and terminology isotope
patterns (esp. for Cl & Br). Corresponds to content video modules 12 & 13A (D2L content folder) |
Wk 8 (Oct 21-25) |
Alkane reactions: Radical
substitution for the halogenation of alkanes and related systems (allylic and benzylic). Corresponds to content video modules 09, 10, 11 (D2L content folder) |
Wk 7 (Oct 14-18) |
Monday Oct 14th, THANKSGIVING, UofC closed, no classes Review oxidation states (not covered in lectures : should be first yr / high school review,
template / worksheet provided facilitate the review) Corresponds to content video modules 08A, 08B (D2L content folder) |
Wk 6 (Oct 7- 11) |
Acidity
and basicity : Rationalising acidity and basicity at the molecular level by looking at factors that affect these properties : the nature of the atom the H is attached to (electronegativity, size, charge, effect of hybridisation), stabilisation due to resonance and / or inductive effects. Minor factors: solvation and steric effects. Corresponds to content video modules 07A, 07B, 07C (D2L content folder) |
Wk 5 (Sept 30 - Oct 4) |
Monday Sept 30th, Truth and Reconciliation Day, UofC closed, no classes. The families of reaction mechanisms. Corresponds to content video modules 06A, 06B (D2L content folder) |
Wk 4 (Sept 23-27) |
Resonance - implications of structure, recognising and ranking resonance contributors Corresponds to content video modules 05, 06A (D2L content folder) |
Wk 3 (Sept 16-20) |
Continue: molecular geometries (using VSEPR) Corresponds to content video modules 03D, 04A, 04B (D2L content folder) |
Wk 2 (Sept 9-13) |
Continue the language of organic chemistry: "text and symbols" : Drawing line diagrams. Curly arrows. Corresponds to content video modules 01, & 02A, 03A, 03B, 03C (D2L content folder) |
Wk 1 (Sept 3-6) |
Introduction to Organic Chemistry I. Overview of course components, using TopHat etc. CHEM351F24 lectures start Wed Sept 4th 2024. Corresponds to content video modules 00, 01, & 02A (D2L content folder) |
