Study Notes

Atomic Orbitals and Electron Configuration

Common orbitals in organic chemistry include s-orbitals (spherical) and p-orbitals (dumbbell-shaped).
Orbitals are filled based on the Aufbau principle, from lowest to highest energy levels.
Each atomic orbital can hold up to two electrons.
The electron configuration indicates which orbitals are occupied and the number of electrons in each.

Organization of the Periodic Table

The periodic table organizes elements by electron configuration, periods related to outermost electron shells, and groups corresponding to outer shell electron count.
Elements in the same group share the number of outer shell electrons and similar electron configurations, differing only in the shell number.

Stable Octets

Group VIII elements are particularly stable due to achieving a stable octet configuration in their outer shell.

Ionic Bonding

Ionic bonding involves the complete transfer of electrons between atoms with differing electronegativities, forming charged ions.
Cations carry a positive charge (loss of electrons), while anions carry a negative charge (gain of electrons).
The ionic bond forms through the attraction between the positive cation and negative anion.

Hybridization and Molecular Geometry

sp-hybridized carbons in triple-bonded propyne exhibit linear geometry with bond angles of 180°.
sp³ hybridized carbons display tetrahedral geometry with approximately 109° bond angles.
sp² hybridized carbons, involved in double bonds, feature trigonal planar geometry with 120° angles.

Hydrocarbons Classification

Hydrocarbons consist solely of carbon and hydrogen, divided into saturated (alkanes) and unsaturated compounds (alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons).
Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2 and involve only single bonds.
Alkenes possess at least one carbon-carbon double bond (CnH2n), while alkynes have at least one triple bond (CnH2n-2).

Molecular and Structural Formulas

Molecular formulas provide the number and types of atoms in a molecule.
Structural formulas depict the arrangement of atoms and bonds, aiding in understanding isomerism.

Isomerism

Skeletal isomerism arises when compounds have the same molecular formula but different connectivity.
Positional isomerism involves differing locations of functional groups within a molecule.

Newman Projections and Conformational Isomers

Newman projections visualize the spatial orientation of atoms in a molecule, indicating stable (staggered) and unstable (eclipsed) conformations.
Conformational isomers vary in their rotational orientations around single bonds; stability is influenced by steric hindrance.

Cyclohexane and Chair Conformation

Cyclohexane can exist in chair conformations, with substituents in axial (up/down) or equatorial (side) positions.
Equatorial positions are more stable due to reduced steric hindrance.

Geometric Isomerism in Cyclic Compounds

Geometric isomers differ in the spatial arrangement of groups around a double bond or within a ring structure, classified as cis (same side) or trans (opposite side).

Molecular Weights

Molecular weights of hydrocarbons are determined by summing the atomic weights of constituent atoms. For example, C8H18 can be calculated through its systematic structure.
