Directions: Use the following outline provided for this chapter to build your knowledge and skills of content mastery needed for organic chemistry. (You can add to it in any that you would like or else create an entirely new/original chapter summary of your own design.)
The purpose of completing a chapter summary is to ensure that you take ownership of your learning experience(s) by creating original (and meaningful) notes that coincide with the material you read from your e-text or other notable resources.
As you work on drafting your version of this chapter summary, remember to be thorough (and neat) and incorporate the following components in such a way that demonstrates your depth and breadth of knowledge of organic chemistry of the information covered in Chapter #1 – Structure and Bonding:

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
DEFINITIONS AND HISTORY
In the early 1800’s “organic molecules” came from an organism.
In 1828 Frederich Wohler synthesized urea (natural, organic) from ammonium cyanate (inorganic). Urea
had never before been made “…without thereby needing to have kidneys…”

1. Sum the valence electrons.
For each negative charge ____________________, for each positive charge ____________________.
2. Draw the skeleton (for complicated structures this may be given).
3. Use the valence electrons to give all atoms an octet (8 e–), except hydrogen which should have a duet
(2 e–).
EXAMPLES
CH2O (Formaldehyde) CH3NH–
CH2NH2– CH2NH2+
NaCN (sodium cyanide)

FORMAL CHARGE
METHOD
For each element apply this formula:
Formal Charge = (Valence electrons) – (Electrons “owned” by the element)

RESONANCE
REASONABLE RESONANCE STRUCTURES
In “reasonable” resonance structures,
MAJOR AND MINOR CONTRIBUTORS
To follow are rules (in order of importance) for determining the major resonance contributor for a
compound:
1. A resonance structure where all atoms have an octet contributes more than a resonance structure that
lacks an octet (most important “rule”).

2. A neutral resonance structure contributes more than one with charge, especially separated charge.
3. When all structures have octets and charge, the greatest contributor has the charge on the element
with the appropriate electronegativity.
a. A negative charge is best situated on the __________ electronegative atom.
b. A positive charge is best situated on the __________ electronegative atom.
