PHARMACEUTICAL SEMINAR 1 PSMA411 | INORGANIC CHEMISTRY GENERAL CHEMISTRY THERMODYNAMICS Note: Heat does not flow from cold to hot, unless there is pumping of energy into the system. CHEMISTRY – a branch of science that is concerned with the Ex: ball on top of hill will naturally fall down; ball in low position study of matter and the changes it undergoes. will not climb on top of a hill. CHEMISTRY BRANCHES 3. Solid crystalline substance has zero entropy 1. Organic Chemistry – the study of organic compounds Entropy of perfect crystal at absolute zero is containing carbon. exactly equal to zero 2. Inorganic Chemistry – study of elements and All processes cease as temperature approaches compounds considered inorganic. absolute zero 3. Biochemistry – study of chemistry of life 4. Analytical Chemistry – is an area of chemistry that is 4. Zeroth Law used in characterization of matter, both quantitatively If 2 bodies are in equilibrium with the third body and qualitatively. separately, then it follows that the 1st and 2nd body 5. Physical Chemistry – study of macroscopic and are also in thermal equilibrium. particular phenomena in chemical systems in terms of principles, practices and concepts of physics such as motion energy, force, time, thermodynamics, quantum CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER chemistry & chemical equilibrium. MATTER – anything that occupies space & has mass. THERMODYNAMICS Has a composition Study of energy, the conversion of energy between Has structure various forms and ability of energy to do work. Involves change From the word therme (heat) and dynamis (power or Requires energy for changes & interactions energy) Has classifications (SOLID, LIQUID GAS) Can be a pure substance. THERMODYNAMICS LAWS/THEORIES 1. Law of Conservation of Energy PURE SUBSTANCE Total amount of energy in an isolated system kind of matter possessing a definite & unvarying remains constant over time. composition Total energy is conserved over time. can be an element Energy is neither created nor destroyed. if physically combined, they form a mixture If an energy/heat enters a system, it is called internal energy. ELEMENT simplest form of substance that cannot be 2 WAYS OF SYSTEM CAN INCREASE INTERNAL ENERGY decomposed by simple chemical reaction 1. Transfer of energy into the system has 1 material or atom (either positive or negative) 2. The surroundings can perform work into the system Ex: If surroundings perform 300 joules into the system, then COMPOUND the system’s internal energy goes up by 300 joules. ▪ When 2 or more elements chemically combine Change is considered to be positive. Surroundings ▪ Substances composed of 2 or more elements united then decreased in 300 joules of energy. Therefore, chemically in definite proportion energy is not created nor destroyed, just transferred. MIXTURE ENTROPY – thermodynamic property that is a measure of a Made up of 2 or more substances each which system’s thermal energy per unit temperature. retains its own characteristics or properties Not chemically combined 2. Law Entropy Can be homogeneous (mixture is uniform) or The spontaneous natural processes increases heterogeneous (there is insoluble substance & entropy overall. composition is not uniform throughout the mixture; Can lead to higher disorderliness. 2 or more phases) For natural process, the change of entropy is considered positive (higher than 0) ATOMS – consists of a positively charged core (atomic nucleus) Heat can spontaneously be conducted only from a which contains protons & neutrons, & which maintains a higher temperature region to a lower temperature number of electrons to balance the positive charge in the region, but not the other way around. nucleus. Ex: metal rod placed between hot & cold object = heat Basic unit that makes up all matter will flow from hot to that cold object Basic unit of element that can enter into a chemical reaction Protons – positively charged; shown in Ernest Rutherford’s experiment (Gold Foil Experiment) Electrons – negatively charged; shown in Cathode ray tube experiment Karl Ferdinand Braun 1 | PAGE Neutrons – uncharged particles; discovered by James Considered as ionic compounds Chadwick Metal is always written first followed by non- metal/polyatomic ion MOLECULES – smallest indivisible portion of a pure chemical substance that has its unique set of chemical properties, METALLIC COMPOUNDS EXAMPLES: that is, its potential to undergo a certain set of chemical 1. Calcium carbonate reactions with other substances. 2. Aluminum sulfide Aggregates of at least 2 atoms in a definite arrangement held together by chemical forces. TYPES OF INORGANIC COMPOUNDS Formed when 2 or more atoms of an element chemically join together 1. ACIDS May be homonuclear (consists of atoms of 1 chemical Contain hydrogen which is replaceable by a element. Ex: oxygen) metal Maybe heteronuclear (composed of more than 1 element. Yields hydrogen ions in water solutions Ex: H2O) Donates protons Accepts electrons ION – charged species, an atom or a molecule, that has lost or Turns blue litmus paper into red gained one or more electrons. Most acids contain a hydrogen atom that is Atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is bonded that can release to yield a cation and not equal to total number of protons. anion in water. Net positive/negative charge Can be a cation or anion 2. BASES Contain metal with hydroxyl group CATION - If a neutral atom loses one or more electrons, it has Accept protons net positive charge. Soapy/slippery in water solutions ANION – If a neutral atom gained an electron it has a net Turns red litmus paper into blue negative charge. 3. SALTS Acid base reaction COMPOUNDS – substances whose molecules are made up of Combination of any positive and negative ions 2 or more kinds of atoms combined in definite proportions. except hydrogen & hydroxyl ion All compounds are molecules Electrolyte that yield neither hydrogen or Not all molecules are compounds hydroxide from dissolved molecule Water – example of compund; atoms that make up water are not 4. OXIDES the same. Consists of oxygen & other elements Binary compounds formed by the reaction of TYPES OF COMPOUNDS oxygen with other elements 1. Ionic compound Oxygen is highly reactive in nature transfer of electrons from an atom to another formed through attraction between positive & negatively TYPES OF ELECTRODES charged ion. 1. Anode If compound is made from metal & nonmetal Positively charged electrode. 2. Cathode Negatively charged electrode. Ex: Na + O = Na2O (product is neutral compound) Mg + O = MgO (product is neutral compound) o Opposite electrical charges attract o Electrolysis can also take place in ionic solutions 2. Covalent compound o The more concentrated the solution the greater ion formed by sharing of electrons between 2 atoms. fluorate. The ion fluorate can be increased by 2 nonmetal ions. increasing the potential difference. PRINCIPLES EX: C + O = CO2 H + O = H2O Law of Definite Proportion AKA “Proust’s Law” BINARY COMPOUNDS Chemical compound always contain exactly the Compounds containing 2 elements same proportion of elements by mass. Can either have ionic or covalent bonding By Joseph Lewis Proust – he found out that copper carbonate is obtained resources is always composed of 5.3 parts of copper & 1 part of carbon & 4 parts of oxygen. Law of Multiple Proportion 3. Metallic compound States that when 2 elements form more than 1 Formed from interactions between elements which compound the ratio of the masses of thr second are metallic but resulting compound became like an element affect mass of the first with the ratio of a ordinary metal small whole number.

J.J THOMPSON (Thompson Model) atom is a for every 12 grams of carbons. spherical mass containing electrons & this spherical mass is positive but is made neutral by the electrons Law of Combining Weights embedded in it. Like a plum pudding. An atom is Proportions by weight when chemical reactions take hollow but filled. AKA “Raisin Bread Model” because place can be expressed in terms of small, integral, negatively charged particles in the positively charged multiple, fixed number called combining weights or particles. Electrons are randomly spread in a cloud of equivalent weights. massless positively charged material. AKA “Law of Reciprocal Proportions” AKA “Law of Equivalence” ATOM – fundamental unit of structure of matter that can enter into a chemical reaction. SUB-ATOMIC PARTICLES OF ATOM 1.

This model showed that the electrons orbit the ISOBAR nucleus in fixed circular orbits. o Atoms of different elements having the same atomic mass ISOTONES o Atoms of different elements having the same number of neutrons ATOMIC THEORY & STRUCTURES Scientist who studied & developed the structure of the atoms: 1. DEMOCRITUS termed the word “atomos” meaning tiny, indivisible particles. (Unable to divide or separate). Considered as 90% right. 2. JOHN DALTON proposed on an atomic theory (John Dalton Theory) based on the facts and experimental evidence that atoms enter into combination with other atoms to form compounds but will remain unchanged during ordinary chemical reactions. Atom is like a billiard ball, it is hard, indestructible sphere. It supports the law of definite proportion & law of multiple 4.

S orbital – can only have 2 7. SCHROEDINGER “QUANTUM MODEL” formulated P orbital – can only have 6 by Erwin Schroedinger. This theory makes the D orbital – can have 10 assertion that electromagnetic ration like X-rays. Gamma rays, radio waves and light rays are made up F orbital – can have 14 of small bits of energy. It does not define the exact path of an electron but rather it predicts the odds AUFBAU PRINCIPLE of the location of the electron. This model can be portrayed as a nucleus surrounded by an electron cloud, where the cloud is most dense. The electron is likely in a less dense area of the cloud. This introduced the concept of sub-energy levels. QUANTUM NUMBERS – electron wave dimensions indicated by numbers quantum numbers 1.

He was able to isolate DISTRIBUTION OF ORBITALS WITHIN SHELLS urea from an inorganic compound, ammonium cyanate Each shell contains subshells known as atomic orbitals. Uniqueness of Carbon Electrons are said to occupy orbitals in an atom. Carbon is able to form 4 covalent bonds (4 valence electrons) with other carbon or other elements. Carbon atoms have the ability to bond to each other to form long chains or rings.

Electron spin can have only two orientations, up ↑ and down ↓. Only two electrons can occupy an orbital, and they must be of opposite spin (Pauli exclusion principle) to have unique wave equations.

Sometimes bonds between carbons are not shown in condensed structure- here the CH3, CH2 and CH units are simply drawn next to one another, but some bonds are added for clarity. The compound called 2- DIPOLE-DIPOLE methylbutane for example is written as follows Dipole-dipole forces arise from the attraction of oppositely charged atoms (other than H) in molecules. These molecules may have a permanent dipole moment. Generally in organic molecules they results from the presence of C-X bonds where X is more electronegative that C. These are generally weaker than H-bonding, ranging from about 5-10 kJ/mol. PHYSICAL PROPERTY A property that does not affect the chemical identity of a VAN DER WAALS compound Can be observed and measured without changing a Van der Waals or (London) dispersion forces arise from compound’s composition of matter the movement of electrons within a molecule.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS 3|PAGE Structure of Functional Group Anything with a charged group (eg. ammonium, Molecules having a polar functional group have a higher carboxylate, phosphate) is almost certainly water soluble, b.p. than others with a non-polar functional group of similar unless it has large nonpolar group, in which case it will most molecular masses. likely be soluble in the form of micelles, like a soap or detergent. Any functional group that can donate a hydrogen bond to water (eg. alcohols, amines) will significantly contribute to water solubility. Any functional group that can only accept a hydrogen bond from water (eg. ketones, aldehydes, ethers) will have a somewhat smaller but still significant effect on water solubility. Other groups that contribute to polarity (eg. alkyl halides, thiols sulfides) will make a small contribution to water solubility. BOILING POINT AND MELTING POINT Melting and boiling are processes in which noncovalent interactions between identical molecules in a pure sample are disrupted. The stronger the noncovalent interactions, the more energy that is required, in the form of heat, to break them apart. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES A chemical reaction occurs when one substance is converted into another substance(s). A chemical reaction is accompanied by breaking of some bonds and by making of some others. REACTION MECHANISM Define as the detailed knowledge of the steps involved in a process in which the reactant molecules change into products. Chemical reactions involve breaking of one or more of the existing chemical bonds in reactant molecule(s) and LENGTH OF CARBON CHAINS formation of new bonds leading to products. Molecules with higher molecular masses have higher m.p., The breaking of a covalent bond is known as bond fission. b.p. and density During bond breaking or bond fission, the two shared Higher molecular masses electrons can be distributed equally or unequally between the two bonded atoms.

Free radicals are neutral but reactive species having an Straight-chain isomers have greater surface area in contact unpaired electron and these can also initiate a chemical with each other reaction. Greater attractive force among the molecules As a rule, larger molecules have higher boiling (and melting) points HETEROLYTIC FISSION The fission of a covalent bond involving unequal sharing of bonding electrons. SOLUBILITY This type of bond fission results in the formation of ions.

More carbons means more of a known as the carbanion. non-polar/hydrophobic character, and thus lower solubility in water. 4|PAGE An elimination reaction is characterized by the removal of a small molecule from adjacent carbon atoms and the formation of a double bond. The charged species obtained by the heterolytic fission initiate chemical reactions and they are classified as electrophiles and nucleophiles. ADDITION Electrophiles: An electrophile is an electron deficient species and it may be positively charged or neutral. Unsaturated hydrocarbons such as alkenes and alkynes Examples are H+ , AlCl3 , Br2 , Cl2 , Ag+ , CH3 +, BF3 etc. are extremely reactive towards a wide variety of reagents. Nucleophiles : A nucleophile is negatively charged or The carbon-carbon double bond (–C=C–) of an alkene electron rich neutral species. contains two types of bonds. In alkynes, three carbon- carbon bonds. Examples of nucleophiles are OH– , –NO2+ , H2O, :NH3 etc. MOLECULAR REARRANGEMENTS TYPES OF REACTIONS IN ORGANIC COMPOUNDS proceeds with a fundamental change in the hydrocarbon skeleton of the molecule. During this reaction, an atom or SUBSTITUTION group migrates from one position to another. A substitution reaction involves the displacement of one atom or group in a molecule by another atom or group. Aliphatic compounds undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions. For example, a haloalkane can be converted to a wide variety of compounds by replacing halogen atom (X) with ISOMERS different nucleophiles as shown below. These are compounds with the same molecular formula and same molecular weight but different structural formula, this differ in physical and chemical properties STRUCTURAL ISOMERS: CHAIN ISOMERS Same molecular formula, but different arrangements of the carbon ‘skeleton’. The positions of the carbon atoms can be rearranged to give ‘branched’ carbon chains coming off the main chain.
