Abstract

An advanced physical organic chemistry experiment requiring student use of ¹H-NMR and/or ¹³C-NMR spectra is described. The experiment is used in concert with discussions about hybridization and molecular structure, as it relates the %s character of the hybridized carbon of a C-H bond. The experiment is designed to last one laboratory period when used in conjunction with lecture discussion.

  Journal of Chemical Education2011 88 (7), 860-862
  A rationale for the removal of the hybrid atomic orbital from the chemistry curriculum is examined. Although the hybrid atomic orbital model does not accurately predict spectroscopic energies, many chemical educators continue to use and teach the model ...
