Q

What is the Kekule model of Benzene?

A

Each carbon atom was bonded to one hydrogen atom and the molecule was constantly flipping between 2 isomers by switching over the double and single bonds

Q

What was the biggest problem with the Kekule model?

A

X-ray diffraction studies showed that all the carbon-carbon bond lengths were the same, which went against the idea of single and double bonds

Q

What do the remaining p-orbital from each carbon in benzene do?

A

They overlap sideways, to form a ring of pi-bonds which make up to clouds above and below the plane of carbon atoms. The electrons in these clouds are delocalised and do not belong to a specific carbon atom

Q

How did the enthalpy change of hydrogenation provide more evidence for the delocalised model of benzene?

A

More energy was required to break the bonds in Benzene than the kekule model predicted, due to the extra stability of benzene, due to the delocalised ring of electrons

Q

How do alkenes react with bromine?

A

They react easily with bromine water via electrophillic addition, which decoularises the bromine water from brown to colourless. The bromine atoms are added across the C=C double bond.

Q

Why is benzene unwilling to undergo electrophillic addition reactions, unlike benzene?

A

The delocalised ring spreads out the negative charge, making benzene very stable, and unwilling to undergo addition reactions and destroy the stable ring

Q

How does benzene react with an electrophile?

A

Via an electrophilic substitution reaction
Benzene breaks the delocalised ring to react with the electrophile, forming an unstable intermediate, where the C-H bond breaks restoring the benzene ring

Q

How can an electrophile be made into a stronger electrophile?

A

Using a halogen-carrier catalyst, which accepts a lone pair of electrons from a halogen atom on an electrophille, making the electrophile stronger and able to react with the benzene ring

23
Q

Why is phenol more reactive than benzene?

A

One of the lone pairs from the oxygen atom overlaps with the delocalised pi-bonds from the ring, so is partially delocalised into the pi system, increasing the electron density of the ring, increasing its ability to attract electrophiles

26
Q

How can you make an aliphatic amine?

A

Heat excess ethanolic ammonia with a halogenoalkane, which will result in a mixture of primary, secondary and tertiary amines

27
Q

When you reduce a nitrile using lithium aluminium hydride, followed by dilute HCl what do you form?

A

A primary amine, but as lithium aluminium hydride is very expensive, there are other ways…

28
Q

What is the other way to form a primary amine from a nitrile?

A

React with hydrogen using a nickel catalyst and a high temperature and pressure

29
Q

How do you form an aromatic amine?

A

React a nitrobenzene with tin, conc HCl and reflux which forms a salt, then add NaOH to get the aromatic amine

30
Q

What do bases do?

A

They accept protons

31
Q

What does the strength of the base depend on?

A

How available the lone pair of electrons is on the nitrogen atom

32
Q

What makes a lone pair of electrons more availble?

A

When the electron density is higher

33
Q

Why are aromatic amines a relatively weak base?

A

The benzene ring pulls electrons to itself, which partially delocalises the nitrogen lone pair, decreasing the electron density of the lone pair, making it much less available and less able to attract protons

34
Q

Why are primary aliphatic amines very strong bases?

A

The alkyl group pushes electrons onto the attached groups so the electron density on the nitrogen atom increases, making the lone pair much more available and able to attract protons

35
Q

Rank , ammonia, aliphatic amines and aromatic amines in order of strength of base?

A

1-Aliphatic amines
2-Ammonia
3-Aromatic amines

36
Q

Why are small amines soluble in water?

A

The amine group can form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules, forming alkaline solutions`

37
Q

Why are larger amines less soluble in water?

A

They have stronger London Forces holding them together, so larger forces are required to overcome the London forces. The larger chains also disrupt the hydrogen bonding in water

38
Q

What happens when you add a small amount of butylamine to copper(2) sulfate solution?

A

A pale blue precipitate is formed, followed by a deep blue solution when added in excess. The butylamine molecules surround the copper atom

39
Q

A

React with a halogenoalkane in a nucleophilic substitution reaction

A

C0NH2

42
Q

What is an N-substituted amide?

A

An amide but the nitrogen atom is attached to another alkyl group instead of a hydrogen

43
Q

How do you name a primary amide?

A

Use the stem of the carbon chain, followed by -amide.

44
Q

47
Q

What does condensation polymerisation involve?

A

Two types of monomers, each monomer having at least 2 functional groups creating polymer chains

48
Q

Why is it called ‘condensation’ polymerisation?

A

Each time a link is formed, a small molecule (often water) is lost

49

A

An overall neutral molecule with a + and - charge in different parts of the molecule

59
Q

A

It is protonated (+charge)

60
Q

In basic conditions (high pH), what happens to the COOH group of the amino acid?

A

Negatively charged and is likely to lose its proton

61
Q

Why are most amino acids chiral?

A

The carbon atom is a chiral centre

62
Q

As most amino acids are chiral, what happens when plane-prolarised light is passed through an aqeuous solution containing 1 enantiomer of an amino acid?

A

It gets rotated

63
Q

In paper chromatography, what is the Rf value?

A

Rf = distance travelled by spot / distance travelled by solvent

64
Q

Describe a paper chromatography experiment to identify different amino acids:

A

1-Draw line at bottom of paper, place in a beaker and fill solvent to just below the line
2-Mark the point where the solvent reached (solvent front)
3-Identify spots of different chemicals on paper, and compare their Rf values and colours to find the amino acid etc,
