1. Announcements To join clicker to class today: – Turn on the Clicker (the red LED comes on). – Push “Join” button followed by “20” followed by the “Send” button (switches to flashing green LED if successful). Let Dr. Gutow know of errors in scores as soon as possible. No quiz on Today, just worksheet. It will be on greenhouse gases. Planning in Lab this week. You instructors may not be so strict about lab dress codes. NEXT WEEK DRESS CODE WILL BE ENFORCED: No sandals, shorts, etc... ● Exam Scores available. Check your scores in D2L. ● Average and range about the same as first exam.

2. Review Greenhouse effect from absorption of IR radiation by gases in the atmosphere – only gases with polar bonds can absorb IR – not all effective because of where they absorb. –Change in 14 C: 12 C ratios in atmosphere indicate that most of the growth in CO 2 is due to combustion of fossil fuels. –Predictions are 1-5 ˚C change in average temperature => significant sea level rise and changes in weather. – Science is not definite, what we do is a political decision. IR spectroscopy observes energy absorption which excites molecular vibrations. –can be used to identify molecules since particular bonds absorb at particular energies. Trend: triple stronger than double stronger than single shorter wavelength suggests stronger bond => single bond absorbs at longest wavelength. –Homonuclear diatomics are nonpolar and do not absorb IR.

3. IR spectra of some atmospheric gases Characteristic wavelengths of IR absorbances ~9.7C–O ~6.5C=O ~4.4 COCO ~3.5C-H ~3O–H µmBond

8. Exceptions to the octet rule Expanded octets –Atoms in period 3 and beyond can do this because they can use their valence d orbitals to make bonds. –Example: PO 4 3- you tested for in Lab. Odd electron species –Tend to be chemically reactive and important air pollutants. –Example: N 2 + O 2 --hot metal in your engine--> 2NO. –You try drawing Lewis structure of NO (hint: get as close to octet as possible without going over & look for resonance):
