Chapter 21 Flashcards
describe what the benzene structure is like
it is a hybrid of 2 different resonance structures
is the benzene structure of 2 structures in equilibrium ?
no , the bonds are not moving back and forth
does benzene undergo additon reactions
no
does benzene undergo oxidation reactions
no
does benzene underdo reduction reactions
no
what kind of reactions does benzene undergo
electrophili aromatic substituion
are the bonds in a benzene structure single or double
neither , they are somewhere inbetween
how many carbons are in benzene
6
what does the carbon skeleton look like on benzene
it is a planar regular hexagon
what are the angles of the c-c-c bonds on benzene
120
what are the angles of the H-c-c bonds on benzene
120
what is the hybridization of the carbons on benzene
sp2
what kind of orbrtals do the carbons have in benzene
unhybridized 2p orbitals
there are 6 ? in benzene
2p
what overlaps on benzene
the 2p orbitals over lapp
what is resonance energy
the difference in energy between a resonance hybrid and the most stable of its hypothetical contributing structures in which electrons are localised on a particular atims and in particular bonds
how can you estimate the resonance energy of benzene
compare the heats of hydrogenation
how do we know that benzene is more stable than cyclohexatriene
because it is lower in energy
what are the 4 things that make something aromatic
cyclic, 1 2p orbital on each ring, be planar, 4n+2
how many pi electrons 14 annulene
14
how do you count the pi electrons on moleucles
count each dou7ble bond as 2 pi electons
is 14 annulene aromatic
yes
is 18 annulene aromatic
yes
is 10 annulene
it should be , but it is not !!!
why isnt annulene planar ?
because it is non planar confirmaiton, the hydrogens are too close so they bump into each other
how can you make 10annulene planar
is you repalce the 2 hydrogens with ch2 you can make it planar
what is an antiaromatic hydrocarbon
a monocyclic planar , planar with 4N PI ELECTRONS
What are the numbers for antiaomatic
4,8,12,16,20
are antiaromatic compounds stable
no
what makes cyclooctatriene special ?
it has 8 pi electrons should it should be antiaromatic , buttttt it looks like a tub so it is non planar which makes it non aromatic
what is a heterocyclic compound
a compound that contains more than 1 kind of atom in a ring , in o chem the term refers to a ring with one or more atoms that differ from the carbon
give 2 examples of heterocyclic compounds
pyradine and pyramidine
what is the hybridization of of the nitrogen atom in pyradine
it is sp2 hybridized
where do the unshared pairs of electrons lie in pyradine
the unshared pair of electrons lie in an sp2 hybrid orbital and it is not apart of the aromatic sextet
are the unshared pairs of electrons part of the aromatic sextet on pyradine ?
no
what is the resonance energy of pyraide
134 kj
what is the hybridization on the oxygen in furan
sp2
where are the unshared pairs of electrons in furan
one unshared pair is on oxygen in an unhybridized 2p orbital and the other is in an sp2 hybrid orbital and the not apart of the aromatic system
what is the name of the orbital that unshared pairs of electrons lie in furan that are NOT Apart of the sextet
in sp2 hybrid orbital
what is the name of the orbital that the unshared pair of electrons are in that IS APART of the aromatic sextet . on furan
2p hybrid orbital
what is the resoncan ebnergy of furan
