Intended Outcomes of Group Activities
Enhance your learning and retention of concepts learned via peer-to-peer teaching and helping others
Help catch and reduce the number of mistakes and misconceptions people tend to make when working on their own
Identify difficulties within groups and then bring to the full class for discussion and clarification
Facilitate the development of good study habits Develop your skills working with others in a group Foster the development of responsibility for the learning of
others as well as your own

Reflections of CHE 101 Students on Group Activities and Active Learning Exercises
Comments of those who found group activities helpful …“Looking at a problem from point of view of a classmate can help you figure out the problem”
“Other students in the class were able to clarify subjects that I didn’t understand at first”
“You could learn a lot from helping to teach others and from working through confusing things with help from others”
“It helped to bounce ideas off others. It helped to see that others had the same problems as me. Sometimes we could work together to solve a problem”
“It made me actually work with what I had just learned instead of listening and not really paying that good of attention. They really helped me but I think you should make a copy for everyone”
“I learned this way the best”

Reflections of CHE 101 Students on Group Activities and Active Learning Exercises
Comments of those who found group activities hindrance
“Sometimes people move faster than I do, hard to keep up and understand”
“I tend to learn the best when I have time to review a concept on my own”
“I would have liked to learn my own work and study from that”
“Generic comment: I can’t focus on the problems … some students were not focused”
“Sometime we didn’t go as fast as I wanted and sometimes we got distracted”
“My group members often took it upon themselves to get it done, not caring if they skipped what they didn’t understand and if the members of their group understood”
“Everyone have different primary knowledge, so it was little bit hard (and English problem for me)”

Reflections of CHE 101 Students on Group Activities and Active Learning Exercises
Comments of those who had suggestions for improvement“ (Helpful) if you didn’t know how to solve a problem, someone in the group would and could teach you how to solve it. (Issue) sometimes talking about non-chemistry related problems would set me off track. ”
“(Helpful) Teaching is the best way of learning. (Issue) if I didn’t understand the material I felt bad for holding others in my group back”
“(Helpful) I could bounce ideas off someone else and confirm procedures. (Issue) I I often understood the material and became impatient with those who did not. But I got better at it as the quarter progressed”
“(Helpful) You could learn from others. (Issue) People moved quickly and would not slow down to answer questions. Some people did not contribute anything!”
“(Helpful) My weaknesses-a particular kind of problem or not noticing certain details were often others’ strengths really. (Issue) if I hadn’t already gotten familiar with a concept, group work just confused or frustrated me because everyone was at a different place”

Learning from the Past: New Goals for GA
Each group assigns “recorder” At the beginning of activity, recorder asks individuals how much
of the concept of that activity each one understands Recorder notes each member’s participation Recorder asks at the end every member if they understood the
concept and if not, other members must explain the problem At the end of activity, recorder responds to questions asked by the
instructor about the group activity and participation Each activity is worth 10 points. For individual students
Points will be deducted for lack of participation (noted by the recorder and instructor)
Points deducted for non-chemistry related discussion for lengthy period
Observations made by the instructor would count towards the subjective 20 point “Student Evaluation” given at the end (3%)
10
First Essential Group Activity
Say hello and introduce yourselves Discuss why each of you is taking the class. Select a “recorder” by finding the person in your group
whose birthday is closest to today’s date Record the following on a sheet of paper
o Your group number at the top of a sheet of paper
o 1st and last names of all group members
o Interest of the group members

Introduction to Organic Chemistry
Think about the structure shown below and then answer the following two questions?
What is organic chemistry? Think about the trends you see: what is common among all of the structures shown?

CHE 101 ReviewIonic and Covalent Bond: The Octet Rule
Recall the “Octet Rule.” What is the octet rule? Atoms adjust their valence electrons to achieve noble gas
electron configuration …a key to understanding the ways in which atoms bond and form compounds
What determines whether a bond is ionic or covalent? In ionic bond, electron octets are formed by transfer of
electrons
NaCl, MgO In covalent bond, electron octets are formed by sharing
electrons
HCl, H2O, Br2
Periodic table indicates valence electrons
14
How many bonds can elements that tend to form covalent bonds have?
15
Predicting Molecular Polarity: An activity
Which of the following is polar and which one is nonpolar?
HBr, Br2, H2O, H2S, CH3Cl, CCl4, CH2Cl2?
Polar:
NonPolar:
What predictors have you used to decide the molecular polarity of the above molecules?

Asymmetrical Symmetrical
Charge Distribution: Symmetrical or Asymmetrical?
Figures from the website of Dr. K Owens, CHE 150, NSCC
Molecular polarity in covalent bonds is primarily based on shape:
Symmetrical molecules are nonpolar
Nonsymmetrical molecules are polar if there is at least one lone pair on central atom or there is at least one polar bond

Section 11.5 Functional Groups
Functional groups determine the reactivity of organic molecules, thus organic molecules are classified by their functional groups
We will study each functional group in detail in the remaining of the quarter

Names of Alkanes
The names of alkanes Are determined by the IUPAC (International
Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) system. Use a prefix to indicate the number of carbons
in a chain. End in –ane.

2) CH3—CH2—CH3
3) CH3—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH3
B. Write the condensed structural formula of
pentane.
29
Structural Formulas
Alkanes are written with structural formulas that are Expanded to show each bond. Condensed to show each carbon atom and its attached
hydrogen atoms.
Expanded Condensed
H
H C H CH4 , methane

30
Line-Bond Formulas
Because each C atom has a tetrahedral arrangement, the order of atoms is not a straight line, but a zigzag pattern.
A line-bond formula abbreviates the carbon atoms and shows only the zigzag pattern of bonds from carbon atom to carbon atom.
31
Learning Check
A. Write the condensed formula for:
H H H H H
H C C C C C H
H H H H H
B. What is its molecular formula?
C. What is its name?
32
Learning Check
Write the condensed structural formula for
A. ethane
B. heptane
33
Cycloalkanes
Cycloalkanes Are cyclic alkanes. Have 2H fewer than the open chain. Are named by using the prefix cyclo- before
the name of the alkane chain with the same number of carbon atoms.
34
Cycloalkanes
The structural formulas of cycloalkanes are usually
represented by geometric figures,
Cyclopropane CH2
CH2 CH2
CyclobutaneCH2
CH2
CH2 CH2
35
Learning Check
Name the following:
A. CH3─CH2─CH2─CH3
B.
C. CH3─CH2─CH2─CH2─CH2─CH2─CH2─CH3
D.
36
Constitutional Isomers
Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula, but a different arrangement of atoms
There are many types of isomers One type, constitutional isomers, have the same formula,
but atoms are connected in a different order
Examples:
C4H10 has two constitutional isomers:
CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 and CH3-CH(CH3)-CH3
C2H6O also has two constitutional isomers:
CH3-CH2-OH and CH3-O-CH3
37
Naming Alkanes With Substituents
In the IUPAC system,
A carbon branch is named as an alkyl group.
Halogen atoms are named as halo.
