What is the polarity of alkyl halides?

Alkyl halides are polar due to the difference in electronegativity between carbon and the halogen, increasing intermolecular forces.

Why do alkyl halides have higher boiling points than their parent hydrocarbons?

The greater polarity and larger molar mass of alkyl halides strengthen intermolecular forces, leading to higher boiling points compared to their parent hydrocarbons.

How does the size of the halogen atom affect the boiling point of alkyl halides?

The size and amount of electrons influence the strength of intermolecular forces. Therefore, boiling points decrease in the order: RI > RBr > RCl > RF.

Study Notes

Introduction to Hydrocarbons and Functional Groups

  • The presentation covers classes of hydrocarbons and functional groups.
  • Objectives include describing functional group structures and properties, and drawing structures for specific functional groups like aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, and amides.

Classes of Hydrocarbons

  • Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms.
  • Aliphatic hydrocarbons include alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
  • Aromatic hydrocarbons include arenes like benzene and naphthalene.
  • A functional group is a structural unit within an organic molecule responsible for its characteristic reactions under specific reaction conditions.

Functional Groups in Hydrocarbons

  • Alkanes: characterized by only carbon-hydrogen bonds and single bonds. Their names end with "-ane"
  • Alkenes: have a carbon-carbon double bond and their names end in "-ene"
  • Alkynes: have a carbon-carbon triple bond and their names end in "-yne"
  • Arenes (aromatic hydrocarbons): have a benzene ring structure.

Haloalkanes

  • A functional group of alkyl halides is a carbon-halogen bond (e.g., fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine).
  • Haloalkanes are generally colorless, but bromides and iodides can exhibit color when exposed to light.
  • Boiling and melting points of haloalkanes are affected by molecular mass and polarity, higher than that of the parent hydrocarbon
  • Density of haloalkanes is higher than water and increases with the number of carbon and halogen atoms, as well as the atomic mass of the halogens.
  • Haloalkanes are less soluble in water as the energy needed to overcome attraction and break hydrogen bonds between water molecules is considerable.
  • Haloalkanes undergo nucleophilic substitution, elimination reactions, and reactions with metals.

Alcohols

  • In alcohols, a carbon is single-bonded to an OH group (hydroxyl).
  • Alcohols (except methanol) can be classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary.
  • The primary alcohol's carbon bonded to OH is also attached to only one other carbon.

Types of Alcohols

  • Primary alcohol: The carbon bearing the hydroxyl group is bonded to one other carbon.
  • Secondary alcohol: The carbon bearing the hydroxyl group is bonded to two other carbons.
  • Tertiary alcohol: The carbon bearing the hydroxyl group is bonded to three other carbons.

Amines

  • Amines are characterized by nitrogen atoms with single bonds to hydrogen and carbon.
  • Amines can be primary, secondary, or tertiary based on the number of carbon atoms bonded to the nitrogen.
  • Classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary in relation to the number of carbon atoms connected to the nitrogen atom.

Ethers

  • Ethers have an oxygen atom bonded to two carbon atoms.

Aldehydes and Ketones

  • Both aldehydes and ketones contain a carbonyl group (C=O).
  • In an aldehyde, the carbonyl group is bonded to a hydrogen atom and a carbon atom.
  • In a ketone, the carbonyl group is bonded to two carbon atoms.
  • Formaldehyde is a special case of an aldehyde with two hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbonyl group.

Esters

  • Esters have a carbonyl group (C=O), an oxygen atom, and a carbon chain bonded together.
  • Esters are named as alkylalkanoates.

Carboxylic Acids

  • Carboxylic acids contain a carboxyl group (-COOH), which has a -C=O double bond and -OH group bonded to the same carbon.
  • Carboxylic acids are named as alkanoic acids.

Amides

  • Amides have nitrogen atoms bonded to the carbonyl carbon.
  • Amides are named as alkanamides.

Naming Rules for Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids, Esters, and Amides

  • Rules for naming aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, and amides involve identifying the longest carbon chain containing the carbonyl group and naming substituents. The carbon of the carbonyl group is assigned the lowest possible number in the chain.

Examples and Test Yourself

  • The presentations include examples of different functional groups and practice exercises (test yourself questions). Answers are provided.
