Special types of carbons and substituents, degrees of unsaturation: forces of interaction and physical properties, properties of atoms, (ionization potential, zeff, radii, electronegativity), Logic arguments of organic chemistry (inductive, resonance, steric) It has been designed so that no one question will make or break you. The best strategy is to work steadily, starting with those problems you understand best. Make sure you show all of your work. Draw in any lone pairs of electrons, formal charge and curved arrows to show electron movement where appropriate. Do your best to show me what you know in the time available. Option for improving your grade: use the links for a blank copy of the midterm and the exam key and print out copies. 258 blank midterm copy link: this link will be posted after the midterm exam midterm key link: this link will be posted after the midterm exam.
