    Study Notes

    Organic Chemistry

    • Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds, including sugars, carbohydrates, and fats, used by living organisms.
    • Carbon has six electrons, meaning it has an electron configuration of 1s²2s²2p².
    • Carbon can form four covalent bonds due to hybridization.
    • Hybridization is a process where the shapes of outer shell orbitals rearrange for more stable bonds in product molecules.
    • Depending on the reaction, carbon can undergo three types of hybridization (sp³, sp², and sp).

    Sp³ Hybridization

    • The s orbital and three p orbitals of carbon combine to form four sp³ hybridized orbitals.
    • These orbitals have a tetrahedral shape with bond angles of 109.5°.
    • Sp³ orbitals typically bond with other hybridized orbitals or s orbitals through head-on or collinear overlapping, forming a sigma (σ) bond.

    Sp² Hybridization

    • The s orbital and two p orbitals of carbon combine to form three sp² hybridized orbitals.
    • These orbitals are planar with bond angles of 120°.
    • One p orbital remains unchanged and overlaps sideways or collaterally with another hybridized or s orbital, forming a pi (π) bond.
    • This configuration forms a double bond.

    Sp Hybridization

    • The s orbital and one p orbital of carbon combine to form two sp hybridized orbitals.
    • These orbitals are linear with bond angles of 180°.
    • Two p orbitals remain unchanged, overlapping sideways to form two pi (π) bonds.
    • This configuration forms a triple bond.

    Homologous Series

    • A homologous series is a group of compounds with similar structural features, differing by a -CH₂- unit.
    • Members share similar chemical behaviors and physical properties.
    • They often have a functional group responsible for characteristic reactions.
    • Each homologous series has a class name distinct from its functional group.
    • Examples include alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, etc.

    Naming Organic Compounds

    • Compounds can be named using common names or systematic names (IUPAC).
    • Common names may not provide structural information, while systematic names use rules based on the structure.
    • Systematic names include prefixes for the number of carbon atoms and suffixes based on the homologous series.

    Isomerism

    • Isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula but different spatial arrangements of atoms.
    • Structural isomers have different atom bonding orders.
    • Stereoisomers have the same atom bonding order but different spatial arrangements.
      • Geometric isomers have restricted rotation around a double bond, leading to cis and trans forms.
      • Optical isomers are non-superimposable mirror images (enantiomers).
    • A chiral molecule has a non-superimposable mirror image.
    • Optical activity is the ability of a chiral substance to rotate plane-polarized light.
