What is Organic Chemistry?


Volume of atom depends on the size
of the electron cloud.

Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds.


Why is it so special?
-

90% of more than 30 million chemical compounds contain


carbon.

Examination of carbon in periodic chart answers some of


these questions.

Carbon is group 4A element, it can share 4 valence


electrons and form 4 covalent bonds.

Noble gas configuration & Octet Rule
Second row elements can have no more than eight electrons
around them. Atoms such as C, N, O, F with four or more valence
electrons form enough bonds to give an octet.

Examples:
1) Carbon has four valence electrons (2s22p2), forming four
bonds.
2) Nitrogen has five valence electrons (2s22p3) but forms
only three bonds.
3) Oxygen has six valence electrons (2s22p4) but forms two

Formal Charge
Formal charge is the charge assigned to individual atoms in a
Lewis structure.
Formal charge is used to determine how the number of
electrons around a particular atom compares to its number of
valence electrons.

The number of electrons owned by an atom is determined by


its number of bonds and lone pairs.
An atom owns all of its unshared electrons and half of its
shared electrons.
27

CM1501 Week 1A & 1B Structure & Bonding

Formal Charge
The number of electrons owned by different atoms is indicated
in the following examples:

Isomers

Stereoisomer (spatial isomer)


1. Cis-trans isomer/geometric isomer
2. Chiral carbon/optical isomer

More than one arrangement of atoms is possible for a given


molecular formula.

The above two are valid Lewis structures and both exist. These two
compounds are called isomers.
Ethanol and dimethyl ether are constitutional isomers.
30

CM1501 Week 1A & 1B Structure & Bonding

Resonance Structures
Some molecules cannot be adequately represented by a single Lewis structure.
Resonance structures are two Lewis structures having the same placement of
atoms but a different arrangement of electrons
Neither resonance structure is an accurate representation for the true
structure, which is a composite of both resonance forms and is called a
resonance hybrid.
Electron delocalization adds stability.

The hybrid is a weighted average of the contributing resonance structures.

31

CM1501 Week 1A & 1B Structure & Bonding

Resonance Structures
Basic Principles
1. Resonance structures are not real. An individual resonance
structure does not accurately represent the structure of a
molecule or ion. Only the hybrid does.
2. Resonance structures are not in equilibrium with each other.
There is no movement of electrons from one form to
another.
3. Resonance structures are not isomers. Two isomers differ in
the arrangement of both atoms and electrons, whereas
resonance structures differ only in the arrangement of
electrons.
32

CM1501 Week 1A & 1B Structure & Bonding

Resonance Hybrids

A better resonance structure is one that has 1) more bonds,


2) fewer charges, and 3) negative charges preferentially
localized on more electronnegative elements.

Rule [1]: Two resonance structures differ in the position of multiple bonds and
nonbonded electrons. The placement of atoms and other single bonds always
stays the same.

Rule [2]: Two resonance structures must have the same number of unpaired
electrons.

Molecular Dimensionality
Two variables define a molecules structure: bond length and
bond angle.

Bond length decreases across a row of the periodic table as the


size of the atom decreases.

Hydrogen
When the 1s orbital of one H atom overlaps with the 1s orbital of
another H atom, a sigma () bond that concentrates electron
density between the two nuclei is formed.
This bond is cylindrically symmetrical because the electrons
forming the bond are distributed symmetrically about an
imaginary line connecting the two nuclei.

To determine the hybridization of an atom in a molecule, we
count the number of groups around the atom. The number of
groups (atoms and nonbonded electron pairs) corresponds to the
number of atomic orbitals that must be hybridized to form the hybrid
orbitals.

CM1501 Week 1A & 1B Structure & Bonding

Electronegativity and Bond Polarity


Electronegativity values are used as a guideline to indicate whether the
electrons in a bond are equally shared or unequally shared between two
atoms. When electrons are equally shared, the bond is nonpolar. When
differences in electronegativity result in unequal sharing of electrons, the
bond is polar, and is said to have a separation of charge or a dipole.

80

CM1501 Week 1A & 1B Structure & Bonding

Electronegativity and Bond Polarity


Bonding between atoms of different electronegativity values results in unequal
sharing of electrons.
Example: In the C-O bond, the electrons are pulled away from C (2.5) toward O
(3.4), the element of higher electronegativity. The bond is polar, or polar covalent.
The bond is said to have dipole; that is, separation of charge.

+ means the indicated


atom is electron
deficient.

E = 2.5

E = 3.4

- means the indicated


atom is electron rich.

The direction of polarity in a bond is indicated by an arrow with the head of the
arrow pointing towards the more electronegative element. The tail of the arrow,
with a perpendicular line drawn through it, is drawn at the less electronegative
element.
81

CM1501 Week 1A & 1B Structure & Bonding

Polarity of Molecules
Use the following two-step procedure to determine if a molecule
has a net dipole:
1.

Use electronegativity differences to identify all of the polar bonds and


the directions of the bond dipoles.

2.

Determine the geometry around individual atoms by counting groups,


and decide if individual dipoles cancel or reinforce each other in space.
