Ionic bonds Covalent bonds Dative bond electrostatic forces of electrostatic forces of must have a lone pair of e , attraction between 2 attraction between shared e- acceptor atom must have oppositely charged ions pair and +ve nuclei vacant low lying orbital Soluble in polar solvents Soluble with same IMF solvents (formation of strong ion ­dipole interactions release a lot of energy) Ionic with covalent character: electronegative cation polarises the anion→↑degree of covalency Covalent with ionic character: large electronegativity difference between bonding atoms → large dipole moment → ↑degree of ionic character VSEPR: molecular geometry of a species → e pairs are arranged as far as possible to minimise inter electronic repulsion - l.p − l.p repulsion > l.p − b.p repulsion > b.p − b.p repulsion - As electronegativity of central atom↑, ↑b.p- ­b.p repulsion, (nearer to each other) Bond strength= B.E Is dependent on: 1. No. of bonds (No. of shared e- → attraction→ bond strength) bonds 2. Degree of Eff overlap ( when size of orbital↑→ orbitals become more diffuse→ Eff overlap↓→↓bond strength) 3. ΔEN ( as ΔEN↑ → ↑polar→ resultant net dipoles cause additional electrostatic forces of attraction→↑bond strength) Instantaneous dipole- Permanent dipole- H­ydrogen Bonding induced dipole Permanent dipole (caused by momentary (polar molecules; forces of (a form of pd­-pd, strong movements of e- charge, attraction between -δ and forces of attraction between and is present in all +δ ) electron deficient H+ and particles) lone pair on F/O/N molecules) ↑e cloud →↑ I.M.F strength ↑δ moments→↑I.M.F strength ↑N H−bonds formed with other molecules per ↑surface area→↑ molecule → ↑I.M.F strength I.M.F strength (e.g branched hydrocarbons) Acid Base Eqm pg 40-42 ∆H= Hf products - Hf reactants ∆H= Hc reactants - Hc products ∆H= BB- BF ∆Hsolution = [Hhydration M+ - HhydrationX-] - LE (MX) Limitations: → Thermodynamic feasibility = spontaneity, whether it can occur → kinetic feasibility = whether the rate of rxn is observable (depends on E ) activation Organic Chemistry Key Concepts: 1. Steric hindrance: when presence of a substituent hinders the approach of an attacking rxt and prevents rxn/↓rxty of a particular site 2. Isomerism 3. Rotation of plane polarised light - Enantiomerism: optical isomerism - Racemic mixture: equimolar ratio of both enantiomers - No plane of symmetry - ≥ 1 chiral centre (sp hybridised) usually 4. Resonance: donation/ withdrawal of e through overlap of subst & benzene ring 5. Acidity of Carboxylic acid - Resonance structure of -COO- - -­ve charge dispersed/delocalised over two highly electronegative O atoms - stable conjugate base 6. Basicity of Amines - available lone pair on N atom for coordination with a proton - presence of e donating alkyl grps increase availability of lone pair for donation - aromatic amines: the lone pair delocalises into benzene ring = unavailable for donation Oxidation (✖ 3°‒OH, Ketone, ‒COOH) Common products: H₂O, CO₂ Exceptions: methanoic/ ethanedioic acid w KMnO₄, H₂SO₄ (aq), Heat Alkenes 1°‒OH 2°‒OH Aldehyde K₂Cr₂O₇ (aq) H₂SO₄ (aq) H₂SO₄ (aq) H₂SO₄ (aq) Heat Heat Heat w immediate distillation Ketone Acid Aldehyde OR H₂SO₄ (aq) Heat under reflux Acid KMnO₄ (aq) (mild) H₂SO₄/ H₂SO₄ (aq) H₂SO₄ (aq) H₂SO₄ (aq) H₂SO₄/ NaOH (aq) Heat under Heat Heat NaOH (aq) Cold reflux Cold Ketone Acid Benzoic Acid Diol Acid OR (oxidative cleavage) H₂SO₄ (aq) Heat Reduction H₂ (g) Reactant Alkenes, Aldehydes, Ketones, Nitriles (CN) Arene (Ni/Pt high temp high pressure) Ni,heat / Pt, room Product Alkane, 1° Alcohol, 2° Alcohol, 1° Amine temp Cyclohexane NaBH₄ Reactant Aldehydes, Ketones alkaline methanol Product 1° Alcohol, 2° Alcohol LiAlH₄ Reactant Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acid, Nitriles, Ester in dry ether room temp stronger Product 1° Alcohol, 2° Alcohol, 1° Alcohol, 1°Amine, Acid+ Alcohol than NaBH4 because more polar 1.
