Introduction Flashcards
where electrons can be found
orbitals
types of orbitals
- sharp
- principle
- diffuse
- fundamental
s orbital
2e
p orbital
6e
d orbital
10e
f orbital
14e
- said that carbon is “tetravalent”
- visualized the ring structure of benzene
August Kekulé
two division of organic molecules
- hydrocarbons
- with heteroatoms
hydrocarbons division
- aliphatics (alkane, aleken, alkyne, and their cyclic analogs)
- aromatics (benzene)
formula for reactions
substrate + reagent –> (reaction condition) products
reactants
substrate + reagent
- substance which is reacted upon by the reagent
- contains carbon atoms
substrate
- an organic reaction in which two or more molecules combine to generate a bigger one (the adduct)
- double bonds becomes single bonds
addition reaction
- type of chemical reaction where several atoms either in pairs or groups are removed from a molecule
- single bonds become double bonds
elimination reaction
- reaction in which the functional group of one chemical compound is substituted by another group
- reaction which involves the replacement of one atom or a molecule of a compound with another atom or molecule.
substitution reaction
- an atom or bond moves or migrates, having been initially located at one site in a reactant molecule and ultimately located at a different site in a product molecule
rearrangement reaction
- occurs when the oxidation number of an atom becomes larger
- deduction of hydrogen, addition of oxygen
oxidation reaction
- occurs when the oxidation number of an atom becomes smaller
- deduction of oxygen, addition of hydrogen
reduction reaction
fermentation
C6H1206 –> 2C2H6OH + 2CO2
- Bond breaking in which the bonding electron pair is split evenly between the products
- often produces radicals
Homolytic bond cleavage
- chemical species that forms bonds by donating an electron pair
- loves nucleus (positive)
nucleophile
- an atom or a molecule that in chemical reaction seeks an atom or molecule containing an electron pair available for bonding
- Lewis acids (compounds that accept electron pairs)
- Brønsted acids (compounds that donate protons)
electrophile
compounds that accept electron pairs
Lewis acids
compounds that donate protons
Brønsted acid
an atom, molecule, or ion that has at least one unpaired valence electron
radical
can form carbon radicals
homolytic bond cleavage
can form carbanians and carbocations
heterolytic bond cleavage
theory that states that the organic compounds must have their origin in living organisms and it is impossible to synthesize them in the laboratories from the inorganic compounds
Vital force theory
first to synthesize an organic compound from an inorganic substance
Friedrich Wöhler
