An organic chemistry exam from Fall 2007 by Bastin. The exam covers various topics such as Lewis structures, hybridization and geometry, bond types, and molecular orbital diagrams. Students are required to provide Lewis structures for given molecules, explain the smaller dipole moment of phosgene compared to formaldehyde, determine hybridization and geometry for given molecules, and draw molecular orbital diagrams for linear methylene.
