Feel free to examine the syllabus for CHEM 0201 (MTWTh 10:00-11:30), or to look at the suggested problems from the text book or the goals for each class. Sample tests are also available here.
Review Lewis Structures on the General Chemistry web site, or download (right click/click hold and select "save as" or "download to disk") a pdf file with some tips on how to determine which atom goes where.
There is also a page on the Gen Chem web site that reviews VSEPR Theory.
Quicktime is required to view some of the content on the VSEPR page.

Here is a page where you can examine an oxygen atom's atomic orbitals, and these pages show how the atomic orbitals from two oxygen atoms can combine to form molecular orbitals.

On these pages you can view molecular models that resemble Newman projections.

On these pages you can measure the bond angles and view the Newman projections for a variety of cyclohexanes.

On these pages you can see views of the molecular orbitals on carbocations that help to stabilize the carbocations.

| You can go to this page to see how a chiral molecule fits into the active site of an enzyme. |

Here are molecular models of cyclopentadiene, maleic anhydride, and the product of the Diels-Alder reaction that occurs between the molecules. You can also see how the reactants would have to line up to form the exo and endo products.
