Study Notes
Ionic Bonding
- Ionic bonds form between cations (positive) and anions (negative) through electron transfer.
- Atoms achieve a full valence shell, leading to increased stability and lower energy.
- Anions gain electrons while cations lose electrons.
Covalent Bonding
- Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons, typically in organic compounds.
- Compounds follow the Octet Rule, aiming for eight valence electrons in their outer shell.
Formation of Ions
- Anions carry a negative charge; cations carry a positive charge.
- Elements in groups 1A-7A often react to form stable configurations.
Lewis Structures
- Electron dot structures indicate valence electrons as dots.
- Kekule structure represents shared electrons as lines between atoms.
- Hydrogen has one bond; carbon has four; nitrogen has three bonds plus one lone pair; oxygen has two bonds with two lone pairs; halogens (F, Cl, Br, I) have one bond plus three lone pairs.
Formal Charges
- Formal charge identifies discrepancies in expected valence electron count.
- Calculate formal charge using: FC = [# valence e-] – [non-bonded e- + number of bonds].
Electronegativity and Bonding
- Electronegativity measures an atom's ability to attract electrons.
- Non-polar covalent bonds occur when electronegativity difference is <0.5 (equal sharing).
- Polar covalent bonds arise when the difference is between 0.5 and 1.7 (unequal sharing).
Induction in Polar Covalent Bonds
- Induction involves the withdrawal of electrons towards a highly electronegative atom, resulting in partial charges.
- Ionic bonds form when the electronegativity difference exceeds 1.7, indicating complete electron transfer.
Drawing Chemical Structures
- Chemical structures can be represented in several shorthand forms: expanded, condensed, and skeletal.
Physical Properties and Intermolecular Forces
- Physical properties are measurable without changing chemical identity, influenced by intermolecular forces (IMF).
- Boiling points (BP) depend on molecular mass and the strength of intermolecular forces present.### Water Solubility Factors
- Increasing carbon count leads to non-polar/hydrophobic properties, decreasing water solubility.
- Charged groups (e.g., ammonium, carboxylate, phosphate) increase water solubility, often requiring smaller nonpolar groups to maintain this.
- Nonpolar groups can form micelles in water, similar to soaps or detergents, enhancing their solubility.
Melting and Boiling Points
- Melting and boiling are processes that disrupt noncovalent interactions within molecules.
- Stronger noncovalent bonds require more energy (heat) to disrupt, resulting in higher melting and boiling points.
Reaction Mechanisms
- Detailed mechanisms describe the steps transforming reactants into products by breaking and forming chemical bonds.
- Homolytic Fission: Equal sharing of electrons during bond breaking, leading to reactive free radicals.
- Heterolytic Fission: Unequal sharing of bonding electrons, producing charged species.
Hydrocarbon Types
- Aliphatic Hydrocarbons: Straight chains or branched chains, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and cyclic hydrocarbons.
- Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Compounds with conjugated double bonds, with benzene as a key example recognized from August Kekulé's and Kathleen Lonsdale's work.
Benzene and its Derivatives
- Benzene derivatives occur when hydrogens are replaced by functional groups, forming complex structures.
- Common families of derivatives include hydroxyl derivatives (alcohols, phenols), carbonyl compounds (aldehydes, ketones), carboxylic acids, amides, and esters.
Functional Groups in Organic Compounds
-
Alcohols: Characterized by the hydroxyl (-OH) group; classified by the number of alkyl groups attached.
- Examples: Methanol (wood alcohol), Ethanol (grain alcohol), Phenol (carbolic acid).
- Ethers: Composed of two carbon groups bonded to an oxygen atom (R-O-R), formed via dehydration of alcohols.
Carbonyl Compounds
- Aldehydes: Contain a carbonyl group (RC=O) with at least one attached hydrogen.
-
Ketones: Feature a carbonyl group with two carbon atoms attached.
- Examples: Methanal (formaldehyde), Ethanal (acetaldehyde), Propanone (acetone).
Carboxylic Acids and Related Compounds
- Carboxylic acids (RC=OOH) are produced by oxidizing aldehydes and are characterized by the carboxyl group.
- Amides: Formed from reactions between an organic acid and ammonia or amines.
- Esters: Created from alcohols reacting with acid catalysts.
Amines and Nitriles
- Amines: Derivatives of ammonia (RNH2), classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary based on the number of carbon groups attached.
- Nitriles: Organic compounds derived from ammonia with the formula RCN, featuring the cyano group.
Alkyl Halides
- Organic compounds resulting from substituting a hydrogen atom in an alkane with a halogen (RX, where X could be Cl, Br, I, or F).
- Classified into primary, secondary, and tertiary types based on the carbon's connectivity to halogens.
