Geometry shape - tetrahedral
Sp2
Number of bonds - 3
Geometry shape - trigonal
Sp
Number of bonds - 2
Geometry shape - linear
What is one property of an Sp3 atom?
All four groups attached are different, the two isomers are different compounds and are chiral.
The separate chiral isomers are a pair of enantiomers
What are isomers?
One of two or more compounds which have same chemical formula but different arrangement of atoms
What is a chiral centre?
An atom that has 4 different atoms or groups attached to it
What is an enantiomer?
Each of a pair of molecules that are mirror images of each other
What is R?
R is clockwise
What is S?
S is anti-clockwise
What are chiral diastereoisomers?
Only found in molecules with multiple chiral centres.
Absolute stereochemistry is the same at some centres but must differ in one
What charge do electronegative atoms carry?
A small negative charge
What charge do carbon atoms carry?
A slightly positive charge
What are heterocyclic rings?
They look like benzyl rings
Are aromatic, hydrophobic and polar
They are amphiphilic
What is meant by thermodynamics?
Thermodynamics is about energy, it’s flow and it’s transformation from one form into another form
What are the three types of energy?
Potential energy - stored energy (gravitational)
Kinetic energy - Energy of motion
Internal energy - sum of kinetic and potential energies of all particles that make a system
