E-Mail Molecules
Send an e-mail to Dr. Wamser
to find out how to use these to get extra credit.
Be sure to indicate your name and e-mail address.
The e-mail you get back will look something like this:
** Chemistry 331, Fall 1997, E-Mail Molecules **
Your ten e-mail molecules are:
# a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j (you gotta e-mail to get real numbers)
You can find these listed by number and name on the class home page
under "E-Mail Molecules".
Remember that they can only be returned one per week (weeks officially
begin and end on Mondays at 8:00 am). Each one returned with correct information
will receive two extra credit points.
E-mail your responses to Dr. Wamser at WamserC@pdx.edu
It is expected that you do your own work on these assignments and
that you e-mail them from your own e-mail account.
The information you should return about each molecule is the following:
1) the molecular formula,
2) the number of carbons with sp3, sp2, and sp hybridization,
3) at least one functional group present,
4) the biological role or significance,
5) your sources of information.
