MAIN GROUP CHEMISTRY, (Tutorial Chemistry Texts)

The development of extremely sterically demanding, monodentate amide ligands facilitates the isolation of main group species with new and highly reactive coordination modes. An outstanding feature of these ligands is the ability to tune their steric demands. Reactivity investigations highlight the potential for small molecule activation chemistry and catalysis for these compounds.

Part of the renaissance in main group chemistry has been a result of the focus on reactivity and catalysis. In this tutorial review, we focus attention on the role of phosphorus-based Lewis acids in such advances.

The ARC provides free Group Tutorials for introductory courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics, economics, engineering, languages and computer science. For more information on the courses being offered this semester, go here,or check the table at the bottom of this page.

With support from the US Department of Education, the ChemCollective has teamed with WestEd to create a set of high school classroom activities in stoichiometry, thermochemistry, equilibrium and acid/base chemistry. The activities support your instruction by allowing students to practice and apply their knowledge to real world contexts, while receiving online tutoring and feedback.

By selecting any of the 22 main group Chemical Elements provided, a list detailing the number of electrons, number of occupied orbitals, electron pairs/unpaired electrons, electron configuration (with shorthand) and magnetism appears, as well as buttons for each orbital of the atom. 781b155fdc
