Study Notes
Hybridisation and Aromaticity
- Hybridisation: Combining atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals with different shapes and energies. This process allows for the formation of more stable bonds.
- Atomic Orbitals: Regions of space around the nucleus where electrons are likely to be found. They have specific shapes (s, p, d, f).
- SP-hybridized orbitals: These are degenerate orbitals (same energy) which form a tetrahedral shape around an atom.
- Nucleus: Takes up most of an atom's mass, but most of its volume is occupied by the atomic shell.
- Electron shells: Electrons surrounding the nucleus are found in discrete regions called energy levels.
- Atomic Orbitals and Probability: They describe the probability of finding an electron in a particular region of space.
- Energy levels: Orbitals/electrons further from the nucleus have higher energy levels. Orbitals with similar energies form shells.
- S orbitals: Always spherical in shape.
- P orbitals: Dumbbell-shaped, three in number (px, py, pz), and mutually perpendicular. They hold two electrons each.
- Degenerate orbitals: Orbitals with equivalent energy levels in the same shell.
- Electronic configuration: the arrangement of electrons in the various orbitals of an atom
- Aufbau principle: Fill lower energy levels first before higher levels when filling electron orbitals.
- Pauli exclusion principle: Two electrons occupying the same orbital have to have opposite spins.
- Hund's rule: In degenerate orbitals, fill each orbital singly before pairing up electrons to achieve the most unpaired electrons with parallel spins.
- Valence shell: The outermost electron shell.
- Bond length and strength: The distance between bonded atoms and energy required to break bonds.
- SP3 Hybridization: Occurs in molecules like methane, where the central atom has four identical bonds, all at 109.5 degrees.
- SP2 Hybridization: Found in molecules like ethene (ethylene), leading to trigonal planar geometry with bond angles of 120 degrees. One p orbital stays unhybridized to create π bonds along with the sp2 hybridized orbitals.
- SP Hybridization: Associated with linear molecules like ethyne (acetylene), bond angles are 180 degrees. Two p orbitals stay unhybridized to create π bonds along with the SP hybridized orbitals.
- Orbital Hybridization: Combining atomic orbitals to form hybrid orbitals.
Aromaticity
- Aromatic compounds: Cyclic, conjugated systems. They are stabilized by delocalization.
- Delocalization of π electrons: Electrons are not restricted to specific bonds and are spread out throughout the molecule in the p orbitals of the conjugated system. This stabilizes the system.
- Hückel's Rule: A necessary but not sufficient condition for a compound to be aromatic. For a cyclic, conjugated system to be aromatic, there must be 4n+2 π electrons.
- Conjugated system: Alternating double and single bonds, so that the pi electrons are delocalized.
- Cyclic: cyclic molecules
