Study Notes
Atomic Structure
- The number of protons in an atom is equal to the number of electrons.
- Electrons are located in energy shells which differ in energy levels.
Carbon Atom Structure
- Carbon has four valence electrons, meaning it can form four bonds.
- The valence electrons are located in the second energy shell.
Covalent Bonding
- A covalent bond is formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons.
- The strength of the bond depends on the degree of orbital overlap.
Hybridization
- Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals with different shapes and properties.
- The type of hybridization observed depends on the number of bonds the atom forms.
- sp3 hybridization: Four equivalent orbitals, resulting in a tetrahedral shape with bond angles of 109.5 degrees.
- sp2 hybridization: Three equivalent orbitals, resulting in a trigonal planar shape with bond angles of 120 degrees.
- sp hybridization: Two equivalent orbitals, resulting in a linear shape with bond angles of 180 degrees.
Sigma and Pi Bonds
- A sigma bond is formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals along the internuclear axis.
- A pi bond is formed by the lateral overlap of atomic orbitals.
Molecular Orbitals
- Bonding molecular orbitals are formed by in-phase overlap of atomic orbitals.
- Antibonding molecular orbitals are formed by out-of-phase overlap of atomic orbitals.
- Sigma bonds are formed by the overlap of s orbitals, or an s orbital and a p orbital.
- Pi bonds are formed by the overlap of p orbitals.
Rotation
- Rotation around a sigma bond does not break the bond.
- Rotation around a pi bond breaks the bond.
