Chapter 1: Atoms, Orbitals, and Bonds
- Understanding atomic structure (including mass number, isotopes, orbitals)
- Knowing how atomic orbitals overlap to make molecular orbitals
- Understanding orbital hybridization
- Using the VSEPR model to predict molecular geometry
- Understanding the formation of π (pi) molecular orbitals
- Drawing Lewis structures
- Predicting bond dipoles' direction and approximate strength
Atomic Structure
- Nucleus: positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons
- Electron cloud: negatively charged electrons
Atoms in Neutral State
- Atomic number = number of protons
- Mass number = number of protons + neutrons
- Number of protons = number of electrons
- Carbon's atomic number = 6; its mass number is 12
Isotopes
- Isotopes: Two atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Isotopes have different mass numbers.
- Most carbon isotopes have 6 protons and 6 neutrons
Bonding
- Atoms bond to achieve a stable electron arrangement (similar to noble gases)
- Ionic bonding: one atom transfers electrons to another
- Covalent bonding: atoms share electrons to complete outer electron shells
- Octet rule: atoms bond to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons
- Noble gases are stable and do not form compounds
Examples of Ionic Bonds
- Sodium chloride (Na 2,8,1 and Cl 2,8,7)
- Sodium donates its one valence electron to chlorine
- Forms sodium cation (Na+) and chlorine anion (Cl-)
Examples of Covalent Bonds
- Chlorine molecule (Cl2)
- Oxygen molecule (O2)
- Nitrogen molecule (N2)
- Single, double, and triple bonds
Electronegativity (EN)
- EN: An atom's tendency to attract bonding electrons
- EN in the periodic table generally increases across a period and decreases down a group
- High EN elements attract electrons strongly, low EN elements attract them weakly
- This difference affects bond polarity
Polar and Non-polar Covalent Bonds
- Nonpolar covalent bonds: Electron sharing equally between atoms
- Polar covalent bonds: Unequal sharing due to differing electronegativity
- Bond dipole: indicated by an arrow pointing toward the more electronegative atom
Isomerism
- Isomers: Compounds with the same chemical formula but different chemical structures
- Types of isomerism:
- Structural isomerism (constitutional isomerism)
- Chain isomerism
- Position isomerism
- Functional isomerism
- Metamerism
- Ring-chain isomerism
- Stereoisomerism
- Geometric isomerism
- Optical isomerism
- Structural isomerism (constitutional isomerism)
Chain Isomerism
- Chain isomers have branched carbon structures.
- An example is pentane and its isomers.
Position Isomerism
- Position isomers differ in the location of the functional group.
- An example is 1-chloropropane and 2-chloropropane.
Functional Isomerism
- Functional isomers have different functional groups
- An example is propanal and propanone(acetone).
Metamerism
- Metamerism appears in compounds where alkyl groups are attached to different sides of a divalent atom
- An example is ethoxyethane and methoxypropane that have the same chemical formulas
Tautomerism
- Tautomers are isomers that differ in position of a proton
- Keto-enol tautomerism is an important example (Keto form is more stable than the Enol form)
Stereoisomerism
- Stereoisomers differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms
- Geometric isomerism (cis-trans isomers): Differ in the position of substituents around a double bond.
- An example is cis-but-2-ene and trans-but-2-ene
- Optical isomerism: Mirror images of each other, cannot be superimposed.
- An example is D-glyceraldehyde and L-glyceraldehyde
