CHEM 245- Unit 1
Question | Answer |
---|---|
deuterium | hydrogen with one neutron |
triterium | hydrogen with two neutrons |
electronegativity/bonding pneumonic | F-O-N-Cl-Br-I-C-S-H-P |
single carbon bond hybridization | sp3 |
double carbons bond hybridization | sp2 |
triple carbon bond hybridization | sp |
C-C geometry | tetrahedral |
C=C geometry | planar |
C≡C geometry | linear |
Are single or multiple bonds more reactive? | Single; longer bond length, lower bond energy |
Bronsted-Lowry definition | acid= H+ donation; base= H+ accepting |
Lewis definition | acid= lone pair accepting, base= lone pair donation |
what 2 types of reactions to alkanes partake in? | combustion and halogenation |
methyl | 1 |
ethyl | 2 |
propyl | 3 |
butyl | 4 |
pentyl | 5 |
hexa | 6 |
hepta | 7 |
oxta | 8 |
sigma bonds ____ _____ | rotate freely (120) |
cyclo butane, pentane, and methane have a lot of | ring strain |
1, 3 diaxial interactions | methyl groups prefer to be in equatorial positions because of this |
A-values | higher A value= less likely that the substituent will be axial (like delta G) |
diene | 2 double bonds |
triene | 3 double bonds |
do -enes or -ynes adopt chair structures? | nope! |
spontaneous interconversion | interconversion of cis and trans structures with the addition of H+ |
Z | same |
E | opposite |
4 types of organic reactions | addition, elimination, substitution, rearrangement |
Two ways bonds break | symmetrical (homolytic); unsymmetrical (heterolytic) |
Two ways bonds form | symmetrical, unsymmetrical |
Symmetrical bond formation (mechanism) | 2 free radicals form one new product |
Unsymmetrical bond formation (mechanism) | 2 bonding electrons donated by 1 reactant |
Radical reactions | symmetrical |
Polar reactions | unsymmetrical (more important in ochem!) |
Exergonic | -ΔG |
Endergonic | +ΔG |
forming a carbocation is ____ Ea than quenching it | higher |
Catalyst | provides lower Ea paths for high Ea reactions that would normally not proceed |
Additions of H-X: what is X? | Cl, Br, or I (halogens) |
Markovnikov's rule | H attaches to C with fewer alkyl substituents; X attaches to C with more alkyl substituents |
Carbocation stability | more alkyl substituents= more stability |
What is the product (functional group) when alcohol is added to an alkene? | ether (where the carbocation forms in intermediate) |
Conjugated | a series of 4 or more sp2 hybridized carbons bound in a row (double bonds and single switch off) |
5 rules for resonance structures | individual forms are imaginary, they differ in placement of pi bonds of non-bonding electrons only, they don't have to be equivalent, must obey valence, resonance=stability |
alkenes and alkynes are both ___ | nucleophilic (at their pi bonds) |
halogenations of cycloalkenes produce only | 1, 2 trans dihalo products |
Lindlar's catalyst | mono addition of H2 to alkynes |
Lindlar's forms ___ | cis alkene |
adding Br2... | always trans |
What functional group forms in alkene hydration? | OH |
What functional group forms in alkyne hydration? | =O |
constitutional isomer | different connections in the molecule |
stereoisomer | same connections, different 3-D structure |
