Chapter 2 Learning Objectives

1. Convert between Lewis structures and condensed (or partially condensed)

structures.
2. Draw bond-line structures from either Lewis structures or condensed (or
partially condensed) structures.
3. Identify functional groups given condensed (or partially condensed)
structures or bond-line drawings.
4. Determine the number of non-bonding electrons on an atom if given formal
charge.
5. Draw and identify resonance structures.
6. Use curved arrows to illustrate how to convert between resonance
structures.
7. Determine whether or not a potential resonance structure is significant and
determine the relative importance of any significant resonance structures
(major versus minor).
8. Draw the resonance hybrid.
9. Identify localized and delocalized lone pairs.
10. Predict the hybridization of any atom with lone pairs.
