Sample Questions for Non-Cumulative Portion of Final Exam
The non-cumulative portion of the Final Exam is worth 75 points. It will consist of questions covering the material
we discussed in Chapters 9, 10 and 13, along with Problem Sets 10, 11, and 12 (and assigned textbook problems).
Please note: A molecular orbital correlation diagram will be provided for this portion of the final exam along with
the usual equation sheet and physical constants.
The cumulative portion of the Final Exam is worth 75 points. It will consist of questions taken from Exams 1-3.
For the cumulative portion of the final exam, all the equation sheets, integral tables, physical constants, and
conversion factors previously included for Exams 1-3 will be provided.
