What topics should you include?
From Lectures 12-18 and Learning Outcomes 37-64 (**Which correspond to topics 1E, 1F, 2A-2D and Fundamentals D in Atkins) here is a list of concepts that you should endeavor to include on your Concept Map #2 (Note: You may add others, if you wish).
- Electron configurations
- Valence electrons, Core electrons
- s, p, d, and f block
- Ground state, Excited state
- Magnetism (Diamagnetic, Paramagnetic)
- Periodic Properties
- Effective nuclear charge
- Atomic radius, Ionic Radius
- Ionization energy
- Electron affinity
- Diagonal relationships
- Lewis electron dot symbol
- Chemical bond – ionic vs. covalent
- Octet rule
- Anions, Cations (Formation, Symbols, Electron configurations); Monatomic versus Polyatomic
- Lewis structures of ionic compounds
- Lattice Energy and Coulomb’s Law
- Lewis structures of covalent molecules (elements and compounds)
- Lone pairs, bonding pairs
- Single, double, triple bond
- Formal charge
- Resonance hybrid
- Bond order
- Beyond octet: odd electron, hypervalent; hypovalent structures
- Electronegativity
- Electric (bond) dipole
- Polarizability
- Polar covalent bond
- Bond strength, bond length
- Nomenclature rules for ionic compounds and molecular (inorganic) compounds
How should you build your map?
You’ll want to create a draft, where you are connecting the nodes (concepts above) to each other. Try out different arrangements of major and minor topics. [You could write the terms on scrap pieces of paper and move them about until you’re happy with the orders and connections you’ve made.]. After you have the concepts arranged, you’ll want to link the nodes and brainstorm about the connecting words/phrases that you’ll include between nodes. Make sure that your connecting terms are varied, concise, and explanatory. You’ll also want to look for cross-links, which will appear between different parts of your map. These connections depict relationships between concepts, of which there are many! Have a question? Drop by office hours to chat with Dr. Brydges and the TAs!!
Remember: You can do this exercise either on paper, or with tools such as word processing and documentation tools (like Word) or drawing programs.
You can include images (diagrams, plots, etc.) and equations, especially if they help convey the meaning of the concept.
Here is an Example of a Concept Map that highlights aspects of Measurements (Note that there are no cross-links featured):
Something to think about: What would you add? change? Notice the linking terms/phrases in blue. These are important. What do you think the color code is trying to convey?
