Student perceptions of partial charges and nucleophilicity/electrophilicity when provided with either a bond-line, ball-and-stick, or electrostatic potential map for molecular representation

Abstract: Education in organic chemistry is highly reliant on molecular representations. Students abstract information from representations to make sense of submicroscopic interactions. This study investigates relationships between differing representations: bond-line structures, ball-and-stick, or electrostatic potential maps (EPMs), and predicting partial charges, nucleophiles, and electrophiles. The study makes use of students’ answers in hot-spot question format, where they select partially charged atoms on the imag… Show more
