2. Organic Chemistry The study of the compounds of carbon Over 10 million compounds have been identified - about 1000 new ones are identified each day! C is a small atom - forms single, double, and triple bonds - intermediate in electronegativity (2.5) - forms strong bonds with C, H, O, N, and metals

3. Schematic View of an Atom a small dense nucleus, diameter 10 -14 - 10 -15 m, which contains positively charged protons and most of the mass of the atom an extra-nuclear space, diameter 10 -10 m, which contains negatively charged electrons

4. Electron Configuration of Atoms The pairing of electron spins

5. Electron Configuration of Atoms Table 1.3 The Ground-State Electron Configuration of Elements 1-18

6. Polar and Nonpolar Covalent Bonds Although all covalent bonds involve sharing of electrons, they differ widely in the degree of sharing We divide covalent bonds into - nonpolar covalent bonds - polar covalent bonds
