Organic Chemistry
The study of the compounds of carbon.
Over 10 million compounds have been identified. About 1000 new ones are identified each day!
C is a small atom. It forms single, double and triple bonds.
It is intermediate in electronegativity (2.5).
It forms strong bonds with C, H, O, N, and many metals.

Some useful terms
Shell: Define the probability of finding the e- invarious regions of the space. The energy of the e-
in the shells is quantized
Quantization: only specific values of energy arepossible. The shells can ONLY occur at quantized
energy in which three effects balance each other:electrostatic attraction, electrostatic repulsion andthe wavelike nature of e- that prefers to be
delocalized Delocalization: spreading of electron density over
a large volume of space (away from the nuclei)

Electron Configuration of Atoms
Aufbau (Build-Up) Principle: Orbitals fill in order of increasing energy from lowest
energy to highest energy.
Pauli Exclusion Principle:
No more than two electrons may be present in anorbital. If two electrons are present, their spins must bepaired.
Hunds Rule:
When orbitals of equal energy are available but thereare not enough electrons to fill all of them, one electronis added to each orbital before a second electron isadded to any one of them; the spins of the electrons indegenerateorbitals (same energy) should be aligned.

The Concept of Energy
In the discussion of energy-level diagrams, linesare drawn on the diagram to depict relativeenergies.
Energy: The ability to do work. The higher inenergy an entity, the more work it can perform.
Potential energy: Stored energy. Unstable structures have energy that is waiting to
be released if given the opportunity. When the
energy is released, work is done, such as, burninggasoline to drive the pistons in an internalcombustion engine that propels the automobile.

The Concept of Energy
In the ground state of carbon, electrons are placedin accordance with the quantum chemistry
principles (aufbau, Hunds rule, Pauli exclusionprinciple, etc.) that dictate the lowest energy form of
carbon.
If we place the electrons in a different manner (as
for example with one electron in the 2s and three
electrons in the 2p) we would have a higher energylevel referred to as an excited state. When theelectrons are rearranged back to the ground state,
energy is released.

The Concept of Energy
Electrons in the lowest energy orbital, 1s, are heldtightest to the nucleus and are the hardest toremove from the atom.
First ionization energy: The energy needed to
remove the most loosely held electron from anatom or molecule.

Lewis Model of Bonding
Atoms interact in such a way that each participating atomacquires an electron configuration that is the same as that ofthe noble gas nearest it in atomic number.
An atom that gains electrons becomes an anion.
An atom that loses electrons becomes a cation.
The attraction of anions and cations leads to the formationof ionic solids. This ionic interaction is often referred to asan ionic bond.
An atom may share electrons with one or more atoms tocomplete its valence shell; a chemical bond formed bysharing electrons is called a covalent bond. Bonds may bepartially ionic or partially covalent; these bonds are called
polar covalent bonds

shares with another atom in a chemical bond.
Pauling scale
Generally increases left to right in a row.
Generally increases bottom to top in a column.

Formation of Ions
A rough guideline: Ions will form if the difference in electronegativity between
interacting atoms is 1.9 or greater.
Example: sodium (EN 0.9) and fluorine (EN 4.0)
We use a single-headed (barbed) curved arrow to showthe transfer of one electron from Na to F.
In forming Na+F-, the single 3s electron from Na istransferred to the partially filled valence shell of F.

Covalent Bonds
The simplest covalent bond is that in H2 The single electrons from each atom combine to form
an electron pair.
The shared pair functions in two ways simultaneously;it is shared by the two atoms and fills the valence shell
of each atom.
The number of shared pairs
One shared pair forms a single bond
Two shared pairs form a double bond
Three shared pairs form a triple bond

The difference in electronegativity between Cl and H is
3.0 - 2.1 = 0.9.
We show polarity by using the symbols + and -, or byusing an arrow with the arrowhead pointing toward the
negative end and a plus sign on the tail of the arrow atthe positive end.

Octet Rule
Atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons
until they are surrounded by eight valence electrons(i.e., until they resemble a noble gas)
Molecules share pairs of electrons in bondsand may also have lone pairs

Drawing Lewis Structures
1. Sum the valence electrons from all atoms For anions add one electron for each negative charge
For cations subtract one electron for each positive charge
2. Connect atoms with single bonds (except for simple moleculesit has to be determined experimentally)
3. Complete octets for atoms bonded to central atom (except H - 2e)
4. Place leftover electrons on central atom, even if this goes beyond octet
5. If not enough electrons to provide octet to central atom, try multiplebonds
(alternative methods can be found in different books )

Formal Charge
To derive formal charge1. Write a correct Lewis structure for the molecule or ion.
2. Assign each atom all its unshared (nonbonding) electrons
and one-half its shared (bonding) electrons.
3. Compare this number with the number of valenceelectrons in the neutral, unbonded atom.
4. The sum of all formal charges is equal to the total charge
on the molecule or ion.

Functional Groups
Functional group: An atom or group of atomswithin a molecule that shows a characteristic set ofphysical and chemical properties.
Functional groups are important for three reasons;they are:
1. the units by which we divide organic compounds intoclasses.
2. the sites of characteristic chemical reactions.
3. the basis for naming organic compounds.

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR)
Electrons in molecules appear in bonding pairs or lone pairs
Each pair of electrons repels all other pairs
Molecules adopt geometries with electron pairs as far from each other aspossible
Electron pairs define regions of space where they are likely to be:Between nuclei for bonding pairsClose to one nucleus for lone pairs
those regions are called electron domains
(a very approximate but very useful way of predicting molecular shapes)

Relative electron density distribution in moleculesis important because it allows us to identify sites
of chemical reactivity.
Many reactions involve an area of relatively high
electron density on one molecule reacting with an areaof relatively low electron density on another molecule.
It is convenient to keep track of overall molecular
electron density distributions using computer graphics.

Quantum or Wave Mechanics
For most aspects of organic chemistry, it is best to considerthe wavelike properties of electrons. In this course, weconcentrate on wave functions and shapes associated with s
and p orbitals because they are the orbitals most ofteninvolved in covalent bonding in organic compounds.
When we describe orbital interactions, we are referring tointeractions of waves. Waves interact constructively ordestructively (adding or subtracting). When two wavesoverlap, positive phasing adds constructively with positivephasing. Positive and negative phasing add destructively,meaning they cancel.

Molecular Orbital Theory
Rules: Combination of n atomic orbitals (mathematically adding
and subtracting wave functions) gives n MOs (new wave
functions). MOs are arranged in order of increasing energy.
MO filling is governed by the same rules as for atomic
orbitals: Aufbau principle: fill beginning with LUMO (lowest
unoccupied molecular orbital)
Pauli exclusion principle: no more than 2e- in a MO Hunds rule: when two or more MOs of equivalent
energy are available, add 1e- to each before filling any
one of them with 2e-.

VB: Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals
What we find instead are bond angles of approximately109.5 in molecules with only single bonds, 120 inmolecules with double bonds, and 180 in moleculeswith triple bonds.
To account for the observed bond angles, LinusPauling proposed that atomic orbitals for each atomshould be thought of as first combining to form newatomic orbitals, called hybrid orbitals, which theninteract to form bonds by overlapping with orbitals fromother atoms.
Hybrid orbitals are formed by combinations of atomicorbitals by a process called hybridization.Mathematically, this is accomplished by combining
wave functions for the 2sand 2porbital.

To create orbitals that are localized betweenadjacent atoms, we add and subtract the atomicorbitals on the adjacent atoms, which are aligned
to overlap with each other. Consider methane, CH4. The sp
3 hybrid orbitals ofcarbon each point to a 1sorbital of hydrogen and,therefore, we add and subtract these atomicorbitals to create molecular orbitals.
As with H2, one resulting MO is lower in energythan the two separated atomic orbitals, and iscalled a bonding orbital. The other is higher in
energy and is antibonding.

Linus Pauling - 1930s Many molecules and ions are best described by writing
two or more Lewis structures.
Individual Lewis structures are called contributingstructures.
Connect individual contributing structures by double-
headed (resonance) arrows. The molecule or ion is a hybrid of the various
contributing structures.

Curved arrow: A symbol used to show theredistribution of valence electrons.
In using curved arrows, there are only two allowedtypes of electron redistribution:
from a bond to an adjacent atom. from a lone pair on an atom to an adjacent bond.
Electron pushing is a survival skill in organicchemistry.

All contributing structures must1. have the same number of valence electrons.
2. obey the rules of covalent bonding:
no more than 2 electrons in the valence shell of H.
no more than 8 electrons in the valence shell of a 2ndperiod element.
3. differ only in distribution of valence electrons; the position ofall nuclei must be the same.
4. have the same number of paired and unpaired electrons.
