Introduction to Organic Chemistry

Early definitions focused on compounds from living things.
Modern organic chemistry is a major branch dealing with carbon compounds.
Carbon's bonding capacity is 4.
Carbon-carbon bonds can be single, double, or triple.
Carbon atoms are organized into straight chains, branched chains, or rings.
Other atoms (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen, halogens, sulfur) are commonly found attached to carbon structures.
Groups can be in different positions on a carbon skeleton.

The Significance of Carbon

Millions of carbon-containing organic compounds are known.
Types of carbon compounds in organisms:
- Carbohydrates: contain C, H, and O, made of monosaccharides.
- Lipids: contain C, H, and O, made of glycerol and fatty acids.
- Proteins: contain C, H, O, and N, made from amino acids.
- Nucleic acids: contain C, H, O, N, and P.

Carbon Compounds Classified as Inorganic

Certain carbon compounds (e.g., carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonates, cyanides, carbides) are considered inorganic exceptions.

Atomic Structure and Electronic Configuration

Atoms are composed of a nucleus (protons, neutrons) and orbiting electrons.
Atomic number equals the number of protons.
Atomic weight equals the sum of protons and neutrons.
Electrons fill orbitals in specific configurations.

Valence Electrons & Lewis Structure

Valence electrons are those in the outermost shell; they participate in chemical bonding.
Lewis structures show the atom's symbol and valence electrons (dots) around it.

Formation of Ions & Lewis Model of Bonding

Atoms tend to gain/lose electrons to achieve a stable octet (eight valence electrons) similar to noble gases.
Gaining electrons forms anions (negative charge).
Losing electrons forms cations (positive charge).

Formation of Chemical Bonds

Ionic bonds form from electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (cations and anions).
Covalent bonds form by sharing electron pairs between atoms.

Ionic Bonds vs. Covalent Bonds

Ionic bonds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal.
Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals or metalloids and nonmetals.

Electronegativity and Chemical Bonds

Electronegativity: an atom's ability to attract electrons in a covalent bond.
Differences in electronegativity determine the type of bond:
- Nonpolar covalent bond: small difference
- Polar covalent bond: moderate difference
- Ionic bond: large difference

Polar Covalent Bonds

In polar covalent bonds, shared electrons are not equally distributed.
Polarity is indicated by an arrow pointed towards the more electronegative atom.

Lewis Structures of Molecules and Ions

Determine the total number of valence electrons.
Apply the octet rule (except for hydrogen, which has only two valence).
Arrange atoms around central atom, forming bonds.
Fill the octets by adding electrons

Writing Lewis Structures

Steps for drawing Lewis structures

Calculate the total number of valence electrons.
Apply the octet rule.
Determine the central atom.
Place single bonds between atoms.
Fill the remaining electrons to complete the octets.
Calculate formal charges to see which structures are more plausible and better represent the molecule.

A Summary of Common Formal Charges

Formal charge is a way of evaluating possible Lewis Structures and their relative stability.

Resonance Structures

Resonance structures are valid Lewis structures representing different arrangements of electrons for one molecule.
They show how a molecule's delocalized electrons can occupy different regions, thereby stabilizing it.

Resonance Structure Examples

Examples include ozone, carbonate, sulfur dioxide, nitrate.

Lewis Acids (LA) and Lewis Bases (LB)

Lewis acids are electron-pair acceptors.
Lewis bases are electron-pair donors.
Examples of Lewis acids and bases include those containing H, O, N, along with metal ions and certain metal compounds.

Solved Problems

Examples of calculating formal charges and writing Lewis structures.
