    Study Notes

    Molecular Geometry

    • Molecules arrange atoms to maximize distance, forming specific shapes based on bond angles.
    • Tetrahedral shape occurs with four atoms at 109.5° angles, while linear and trigonal planar geometries have 180° and 120° angles, respectively.
    • Geometries and Bond Angles:
      • Linear: 2 atoms, 180°
      • Trigonal Planar: 3 atoms, 120°
      • Tetrahedral: 4 atoms, 109.5°

    Hybridization

    • Hybridization is the reconfiguration of atomic orbitals to form new bonding orbitals.
    • Electron Geometry, Hybridization, and Bond Angles:
      • Linear (2 Domains): sp hybridization, 180°
      • Trigonal Planar (3 Domains): sp² hybridization, 120°
      • Tetrahedral (4 Domains): sp³ hybridization, 109.5°

    Condensed Formulas

    • Condensed formulas consolidate molecular structure into a single line.
    • Examples include:
      • CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃ (pentane)
      • CH₃(CH₂)₄CH₃ (pentane)
      • CH₃COCH₃ (acetone)

    Sigma (σ) and Pi (π) Bonds

    • Single covalent bonds consist of one σ bond.
    • Double bonds consist of one σ bond and one π bond.
    • Triple bonds consist of one σ bond and two π bonds.
    • Bonds in Molecules:
      • 14 σ bonds, 0 π bonds
      • 10 σ bonds, 1 π bond
      • 9 σ bonds, 2 π bonds

    Bond Lengths and Strengths

    • Triple bonds are stronger and shorter than double bonds, which are in turn stronger and shorter than single bonds.

    Orbital Combinations

    • Hybrid Orbitals:
      • sp³: 1 x 2s orbital + 3 x 2p orbitals
      • sp²: 1 x 2s orbital + 2 x 2p orbitals
      • sp: 1 x 2s orbital + 1 x 2p orbital

    Resonance Structures

    • Different representations of a molecule showing varying electron arrangements while keeping atom positions constant.
    • Electrons, specifically pi and lone pair electrons, are moved; atomic positions are unchanged.
    • Full octets permit movement of electrons into atoms if electrons are pushed out simultaneously.

    Cycloalkanes and Ring Strain

    • Cycloalkanes are cyclic alkanes with tetrahedral ideal geometry (109.5° bond angle).
    • Ring strain arises when the bond angles deviate from the ideal angles of tetrahedral carbon.
    • Sum of interior angles for polygons highlights the constraints of bond angles in rings:
      • Triangle: 180°
      • Square: 360°
      • Pentagon: 540°
      • Hexagon: 720°

    Cyclohexane

    • Known for stability, cyclohexane maintains a near-perfect 109.5° bond angle.
    • Chair Conformations:
      • Chair conformation is the most stable due to optimal bond angles.
      • Larger groups are better positioned in equatorial positions to reduce 1,3-diaxial interactions.

    Trans vs. Cis Cyclohexanes

    • Cis substituents are aligned in the same direction (both up or both down).
    • Trans substituents are positioned oppositely (one up and one down).

    Acid-Base Chemistry Fundamentals

    • Brønsted acids donate H⁺ ions (protons), while Brønsted bases accept them.
    • Example: HCl (Brønsted acid) and H₂O (Brønsted base) react to form Cl⁻ and H₃O⁺.

    Lewis Acids and Bases

    • Lewis acids accept electrons; Lewis bases donate electrons.
    • Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor, and a Lewis base is an electron pair donor.

    Conjugate Acids and Bases

    • Conjugate base: product from an acid; conjugate acid: product from a base.
    • To determine the conjugate base, remove one proton and decrease its charge; for the conjugate acid, add one proton and increase its charge.
    • Strong acids have weak conjugate bases; strong bases have weak conjugate acids.

    pH Scale

    • pH ranges from 0 (acidic) to 14 (basic), with 7 being neutral.
    • pH < 7 indicates acidity; pH > 7 indicates basicity.

    K and pK Values

    • K indicates acid strength; lower pK values reflect stronger acids, while higher pK values indicate weaker acids.
    • Similarly, lower pK values correspond to stronger bases, and higher pK values denote weaker bases.

    Factors Influencing Acid Strength (CARDIO)

    • Charge: Positive charge enhances acidity; negative charge enhances basicity.
    • Atom: Acidity increases left to right and down the periodic table.
    • Resonance: More stable conjugate bases result in stronger acids.
    • Dipole Induction: Electron-withdrawing groups increase acidity; donating groups decrease it.
    • Orbital Hybridization: More s-character in orbitals increases acidity.

    Important pK Values

    • pK of typical sp³-hybridized acid: 16
    • pK of typical sp²-hybridized acid: 10
    • pK of typical sp-hybridized acid: 5
    • pK of typical carboxylic acid: 2
    • pK of typical amine: 20

    Amino Acids and pK Values

    • Amino acids contain both carboxylic acid (-COOH) and amine (-NH₂) groups.
    • Typical pK values: Carboxylic acid ~2, Amine ~9-10.

    Amino Acids and pH

    • Amino acids cannot be uncharged due to the stronger acidity of carboxylic acids.
    • At low pH, amino acids are protonated; at high pH, they are deprotonated.

    Predicting Amino Acid Form

    • Rules for predicting form at a given pH:
      • Groups with pK below pH are deprotonated; above pH are protonated.
    • Example for Histidine:
      • pH 0: fully protonated
      • pH 4: partially deprotonated
      • pH 8: fully deprotonated
      • pH 12: completely deprotonated

    IUPAC Naming System Overview

    • IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) establishes standard naming conventions for organic compounds.

    Key Definitions

    • Substituent: An appendage attached to the molecule's parent chain.

    Naming Cycloalkanes

    • Use the prefix "cyclo" before the alkane name for ringed structures.
    • "Cis" indicates substituents on the same side; "trans" indicates opposite sides.
    • For cycloalkanes with multiple substituents, apply R/S nomenclature.

    Naming Ethers

    • Name alkyl groups connected to the ether with "ether" at the end.
    • Consider the longest carbon chain as the parent chain.

    Naming Amines

    • Classify as 1° (primary), 2° (secondary), or 3° (tertiary) based on carbon attachments.
    • For primary amines, add “-amine” to the substituent name.

    Naming Aldehydes and Ketones

    • Aldehydes: parent chain includes the C=O group.
    • Ketones can be named by describing chains on either side or by modifying the alkane name.

    Spiro and Bicyclic Compounds

    • Spiro Alkanes: Fused rings at single carbon points, named as spiro[a.b]parent name.
    • Bicyclic Alkanes: Fused rings with multi-carbon bridges, named as bicyclo[a.b.c]parent name.
