Predicting the Stability of Hypervalent MoleculesTracy A. Mitchell, Debbie Finocchio, and Jeremy Kua In this exercise, students use concepts in thermochemistry such as bond energy, ionization potentials, and electron affinities to predict the relative stability of two hypervalent molecules (PF5 and PH5) relative to their respective non-hypervalent counterparts. Mitchell, Tracy A.; Finocchio, Debbie; Kua, Jeremy. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 629.

Let Us Give Lewis Acid–Base Theory the Priority It DeservesAlan A. Shaffer The Lewis concept is simple yet powerful in its scope, and can be used to help beginning students understand reaction mechanisms more fully. However, traditional approaches to acid-base reactions at the introductory level ignores Lewis acid-base theory completely, focusing instead on proton transfer described by the Br?nsted-Lowry concept. Shaffer, Alan A. J. Chem. Educ.2006, 83, 1746.
