The Covalent Bond
- sigma and pi bonds
- hybrid orbitals: sp3, sp2, sp and respective geometries
- valence shell electron pair repulsion and the prediction of shapes of molecules (e.g., NH3, H2O, CO2)
- structural formulas for molecules involving H, C, N, O, F, S, P, Si, Cl
- delocalized electrons and resonance in ions and molecules
- Multiple bonding
- Stereochemistry of covalently bonded molecules
Oxygen Containing Compounds
Biological Molecules
General Concepts in Organic Chemistry (Old aamc topic)
This entire section has been taken off the official aamc topics list.
- Classification of organic compounds according to functional groups
- Reactions, reaction mechanisms, and the principles involved (metabolic enzyme-controlled reactions and pathways are not included in this topic area)
- Structure and stereochemistry of organic compounds
- IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds
- Multistep synthesis/retrosynthesis
Source: Official MCAT organic chemistry topics were obtained directly from the AAMC.
