Study Notes
Ranking Acidity
-
CARIO effects help determine acidity:
- Atom: More electronegative atoms make an acid stronger.
- Resonance: More resonance stabilization of the conjugate base makes an acid stronger.
- Induction: Electron-withdrawing groups increase acidity by stabilizing the conjugate base.
- Charge: A more positive charge makes an acid stronger.
- Orbital: Hybridization affects acidity. sp orbitals are more acidic than sp2, which are more acidic than sp3.
Acid-Base Reactions
-
Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reactions involve the transfer of a proton (H+).
- Stronger acids donate protons more readily.
- Weaker acids hold onto protons more tightly.
Organic Molecules
-
Nomenclature follows IUPAC rules:
- Parent chain: The longest continuous carbon chain.
- Substituents: Groups attached to the parent chain.
- Numbers: Locate substituents on the parent chain.
