Cis and Trans Isomerization in Cyclic Alkenes: A Topic for Discovery Using the Results of Molecular ModelingSusan E. Barrows and Thomas H. Eberlein This article describes an activity in which students are led to discover the fundamental reasons behind the unusual instability of the trans isomers in medium-sized cycloalkenes by using the results of molecular modeling. Notably, students will make the unexpected discovery that twisting about p bonds is perhaps more facile than they had been led to believe. Barrows, Susan E.; Eberlein, Thomas H. J. Chem. Educ.2004, 81, 1529.

Melting Point and Molecular SymmetryR. J. C. Brown and R. F. C. Brown In 1882 Thomas Carnelley observed that high molecular symmetry is associated with high melting point. The application of the rule to a number of different molecular crystals is discussed. The rule applies to different categories of crystal for different reasons, which can be explained by thermodynamic analysis. Brown, R. J. C.; Brown, R. F. C. J. Chem. Educ.2000, 77, 724.

Hexane 1 (GCMP)David M. Whisnant Hexane 1: this is a resource in the collection "General Chemistry Multimedia Problems". Hexane, a liquid hydrocarbon with the formula C6H14, burns when ignited in the presence of oxygen. In this problem we will observe videos of this combustion reaction. General Chemistry Multimedia Problems ask students questions about experiments they see presented using videos and images. The questions asked apply concepts from different parts of an introductory course, encouraging students to decompartmentalize the material.
