Q

homologous series

A

-organic compounds with similar general formula
successive members:
1. are represented by a general formula

  1. differ by a constant -CH2- units in the carbon skeleton
  2. have diff phy properties cuz diff imf cuz diff e cloud size
  3. similar chem properties cuz same functional group

Q

types of reaction: hydrolysis

A

reaction with water/H+/OH-

15
Q

types of reaction: condensation

A

2 molecules react to form a larger molecule with the elimination of a small or simple molecule like H2O or HCl

16
Q

constitutional (structural) isomerism

A

same molecular formula, diff structural formula

  1. chain (diff arrangement of C chain)
  2. positional (diff positions of a functional grp on C chain or ring
  3. functional group ( same molecular but diff functional groups)
17
Q

stereoisomerism

A

same molecular formula and structural formula, diff arrangement of atoms

  1. Cis-trans isomerism (pi bond must break to rotate)
    - restricted rotation of bond due to presence of pi bond
    - 2 diff atoms or grp of atoms attached to each C of the bond
    - 2^m (m=no. of C=C bonds)
  2. enantiomerism
    - non-superimposable mirror img (do not give the same structure when placed on top of each other)
    - no plane of symmetry (also no internal plane of symmetry!! when cutting molecule through the middle)
    - chiral centre (4 diff atoms/substituents, sp3 hybridized)
    -2^n (n=no. of C*)

-same physical(except in direction in which they rotate plane-polarised LIGHT) and

  • same chem(except differ in interaction with other chiral compounds)
  • diff bio (eg. Drug action - enzymes having active sites than can accept ONLY 1 of the 2 enantiomers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
18
Q

meso compounds

A

mirror img + superimposable = achiral

optically inactive

got internal plane of symmetry

19
Q

Why cis-isomer has a lower mp, density, stability but higher bp, solubility and dipole moment?

A

CIS HAVE HIGH BP:
Both molecules have simple molecular structures. More energy is required to overcome the stronger pd-pd interactions between the polar cis- molecules than the weaker id-id interactions between non-polar trans- molecules

TRANS HAVE HIGH MP:
Both molecules have simple molecular structures. The trans- molecules have higher symmetry and can pack more closely in its lattice structure than cis- molecules. More energy is required to overcome the more extensive id-id interactions in trans- during melting

Q

describe sp3 hybridisation in CH4

A

-tetrahedral in shape
- bond angle 109.5
- all C-H bonds have equal bond lengths -> identical sigma bonds formed

  • x1 2s orbital + x3 2p orbitals = 4 degenrate 2sp3 hybrid orbitals (tetrahedral,109.5)
  • each of the x4 2sp3 hybrid orbitals of C atom overlaps head-on with the 1s orbital of H atom
21
Q

describle sp2 hybridisation in C2H4

A

-trigonal planar in shape
- bond angle 120
- all C-H bonds have equal bond lengths -> identical sigma bonds formed

  • x1 2s orbital + x2 2p orbitals = 3 degenrate 2sp2 hybrid orbitals (trigonal planar,120)
  • unhybridised p orbital is perpendicular to the plane of the x3 2sp2 hybrid orbitals
  • has a C=C bond which consists of 1 sigma bond + 1 pi bond. Each C atom uses one 2sp2 hybrid orbital to overlap head-on to form the sigma bond. The unhybridized p orbital of each C atom overlaps side-on to form pi bond. Each C atom’s 2 remaining 2sp2 hybrid orbitals overlap head-on with the 1s orbital of H atom to form C-H sigma bonds.
  • 4 C-H bonds formed
22
Q

describe sp hybridisation in C2H2

A
  • linear in shape
  • bond angle 180
  • all C-H bonds have equal bond lengths -> identical sigma bonds formed
  • x1 2s orbital + x1 2p orbitals = 2 degenrate 2sp hybrid orbitals (linear, 180)
  • unhybridised 2pz and 2py orbital is perpendicular to the plane of the x2 2sp hybrid orbitals
  • has a C=C bond which consists of 1 sigma bond + 2 pi bond. Each C atom uses one 2sp hybrid orbital to overlap head-on to form the sigma bond. The unhybridized 2pz and 2py orbital of each C atom overlap side-on to form 2 pi bond. Each C atom’s 1 remaining 2sp hybrid orbitals overlap head-on with the 1s orbital of H atom to form C-H sigma bonds.
  • 2 C-H bonds formed
