Study Notes
Organic Chemistry Chapter 1: Bonding & Isomerism
- Organic chemistry studies compounds containing carbon, often in combination with hydrogen and other elements
- Historically, there was a fundamental difference between organic and inorganic compounds, which was later disproved following the synthesis of urea
- Organic synthesis involves creating complex organic molecules from simpler precursor molecules.
- Reactants are the starting compounds and products are the resulting compounds
- Reaction mechanism details the steps in a chemical reaction, including reactive intermediates
Bonding and Isomerism
- Chemical bonds are made through simultaneous coulombic attraction & electron exchange.
- Opposites charges attract each other (Coulomb's Law)
- Electrons spread out in space (delocalization).
- Noble gas stability is favorable
Ionic Bonding
- Based on electron transfer between atoms
- The resulting cation and anion attract due to electrostatic forces
Covalent Bonding
- Bonds form through electron sharing between atoms. Strength & distance between nuclei affect bond length.
- Polar covalent bonds occur when electrons are not shared equally
- Pure covalent bonds occur when electrons are shared equally
Octet Rule
- Atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration (eight valence electrons)
- Elements in the periodic table exhibit increasing electronegativity, affecting their reactivity and ability to form bonds.
Valence Electrons
- Valence electrons are represented as dots around an element's symbol.
- Hydrogen can lose or gain an electron
- Electrons are shared between identical atoms in covalent bonds but not in ionic bonds.
- For carbon, forming four covalent bonds is a common strategy to achieve octets, resulting in a variety of structures
- Covalent bonding is prevalent in organic compounds due to carbon's electron configuration and ability to form various types of bonds
Molecular Shapes
- The shape of a molecule depends on the arrangement of atoms and lone electron pairs
- Diatomic molecules form linear shapes; triatomics can be linear or bent.
- Tetraatomics and pentaatomics form various shapes
Resonance
- Molecules can exist in multiple, equivalent structures (resonance forms).
- These resonance structures illustrate the delocalization of electrons in a molecule; electrons are not localized in a single bond and are shared among several bonds.
Orbitals
- Electrons in atoms occupy specific energy states described by wave equations, not confined to fixed positions
- Electron waves contain nodes where the amplitude changes sign
- Atomic orbitals and molecular orbitals have specific shapes and energies
- Hybridization creates a new set of atomic orbitals with different energies and properties
Oxidation States
- Oxidation states are a way to conceptualize the electron distribution in a molecule
- Oxidation states are used to track electrons moving between species
Classification of Organic Compounds
- Functional groups are specific structures within organic molecules, leading to the classification/categorization of organic compounds
- Different functional groups bestow different properties on the compounds, leading to diverse applications for organic compounds
