This document is a problem set for Introduction to Modern Chemistry I (09 105) at Carnegie Mellon University, assigned by Lenny Vuocolo for Fall 2016. It’s designed to assess student understanding of lecture notes K through N.
This assignment is intended for students enrolled in the course who need to practice applying concepts related to Lewis structures, formal charges, resonance, and acid-base chemistry. It’s due on Monday, October 31st, and requires completion of both Sapling online problems and handwritten solutions for specific exercises. Students must also indicate their assigned TA and recitation time.
This problem set focuses on applying theoretical knowledge to specific molecular examples. It does *not* provide a comprehensive review of the underlying chemical principles; students are expected to have learned those in lecture. It also doesn’t offer solutions – it’s an exercise in independent problem-solving.
The full document includes: practice problems on Lewis structures with formal charge calculations, exercises on drawing resonance structures for molecular ions, and a question assessing understanding of charge delocalization. It also contains a section for student information (name, ID number, TA, recitation time). This preview only describes the assignment’s scope and requirements.
