Attached is the Study Guide of topics you will need to know for the Semester 1 Final exam!
REMEMBER: You may use a 3" x 5" notecard, handwritten on both sides, for the final. If you want more space, you may use a 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of paper, handwritten on one side only, IF you bring a new, unopened box of tissue or roll of paper towels to the Final. You may write as small as you like and you may put anything you want on the notecard/notesheet. You cannot use a copy machine to reduce the print size, nor can you print it on a printer. It must be original handwriting. If your card or sheet is too big, I will cut it down to size before you can use it. Start writing your notecard/notesheet now... don't wait until the night before the final!

Assignment
On your Molecular Modeling Lab sheet, in the second column labeled "Electron-pair arrangement around central atom", write;
(a) The NUMBER of ELECTRON DOMAINS found around the central atom (or, if no central atom, one of the peripheral atoms), and
(a) The NUMBER of ELECTRON DOMAINS found around the central atom (or, if no central atom, one of the peripheral atoms), and
(b) The ARRANGEMENT of the electron Domains according to VSEPR, based on the number of domains on that atom (2 = linear, 3 = trigonal planar, 4 = tetrahedral, 5 = trigonal bipyramidal, 6 = octahedral)
THEN, In the column labeled "Bond angle(s)", write the degrees of separation between the electron domains; linear = 180 degrees, trigonal planar = 120, tetrahedral = 109.5. You don't need to do this for expanded octet arrangements.

Assignment
1. STUDY safety rules on page 16 for the quiz today! 20 true/false questions.
2. Pretend you are a gardener whose hobby is growing gigantic pumpkins for Halloween. You have heard that pouring beer on pumpkin plants makes the pumpkins larger. State a hypothesis for whether or not you believe using beer will make pumpkins larger; then design an experiment to test it. Clearly state which variable is independent, which is dependent, and which other variables you will control. State what data you will collect and whether those data are qualitative or quantitative. (We will assume that you are able to legally obtain beer for this experiment!)
