Carbon Flashcards
Hybridisation
4 equivalent covalent bonds called orbital hybridisation as the electron config
Produce 3 hybrid orbitals
Electrons redistribute
Hybrid atomic orbitals contains 1e
Carbon
Config suggest that it has 2 unpaired e
2 covalent bonds
Simplest compound if carbon is methane
Tetra valency of carbon
Covalent bonds are formed Energy is released More stable attain greater stability Carbon is tetravalent Versatility as biological building block
Shaped of molecules
Hybridised carbon atom
Orbitals arrange themselves far apart from each other
Tetrahedral structure
Ring is not flat
Cont
Sp3 means 4 covalent bonds
Many shapes or conformation
Intermolecular interactions between functional groups
Recognition
Shape it’s substrate
Particular hormone or membrane transporters
Control and order
Delocalisation
Hybridises orbitals and one p orbital
Sp2 orbitals overlaps
Carbon carbon sigma bond
P orbital is able to take pi bonding
Automaticity
Increase stability Aromatic Conjugated Cyclic Planar Has 6 Delocalised e Ring struc Single and double
Summing up
Carbon undergoes hybridisation
Electrons are promoted
On unpaired electrons
