An improved method for drawing the bonding MO for dihydrogen
Submitted by Adam R. Johnson, Harvey Mudd CollegeEvaluation Methods:
When I do this correctly, the students don't accidentally see something which may make immature students giggle.
Evaluation Results:
I have had multiple colleagues tell me that this technique worked for them and saved them from repeating an embarassing classroom event.
Description:
Most of us have probably been there. Discussing homonuclear diatomic MO diagrams and on the first day you want to put up the sigma bonding molecular orbital for H2. If you teach it like me, you emphasize the LCAO-MO approach, so you draw a hydrogen atom with its 1s orbital interacting with a hydrogen atom with its 1s orbital...and then you notice giggling from the less mature audience members. My technique will help to prevent this from happening. The technique is in the "faculty only" files section.
Learning Goals:
The instructor will draw the bonding MO of dihydrogen without accidentally causing laughter in the class or self embarassment.
Corequisites:
Equipment needs:
chalkboard or whiteboard
ability to adjust quickly just in case
Course Level:
Prerequisites:
Topics Covered:
Implementation Notes:
I have come close to accidentally drawing the incorrect version of this diagram and I am able to stop myself quickly as illustrated in the instructions.
Time Required:
a minute to learn, a lifetime to master.

Chem 165 2018
Submitted by Adam R. Johnson, Harvey Mudd CollegeThis is a collection of LOs that I used to teach a junior-senior seminar course on organometallics during Fall 2018 at Harvey Mudd College. There were a total of 9 students in the course. The Junior student (there was only one this year) was taking 2nd semester organic concurrently and had not takein inorganic (as is typical).
