organic chem 1-2 Flashcards
what does n represent when writing the IUPAC name for example n-propyl?
n- REPRESENTS that it is non branched and linear
what is it called when a benzene ring has Ph attached to it?
it is not benzene it is Phenyl (sometimes Phenyl doesn’t need to be drawn- the ring of it- it can just be represented as Ph)
what are the energy levels in order?
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2
how can different types of orbitals be differentiated?
their shape and symmetries
what are the wave properties of electrons?
standing wave vibrates in fixed location. a standing wave appears to be vibrating vertically (up and down) without travelling side to side (horizontally)
amplitude can be positive or negative. what is the amplitude of a wave?
the height (shows how much energy the wave has)
what is the node of a wave?
the point where the amplitude is zero (the line) and the point doesn’t move
what does an s orbital look like ?
spherically symmetric around the nucleus, no phase change
when drawing energy levels how do you draw them?
fill up each box individually first with one electron then start paring them, without opposite spins, arrows go through the line
what does the second electron shell look like
another shell around the spherical node (where there is no electron density)
what is the node in terms of electron shells?
region of space around the nucleus where the probability of finding an electron is ZERO
WHAT DO p orbitals look like?
2 oval shapes opposite one another
how many p orbitals are there
3 p orbitals. (2p6)
what does the distance from the node of the p orbital to the end of the oval mean?
the distance it is from the nucleus
what does the height of the p-orbital wave mean
the electron density
what are valence electrons?
electrons on the outermost shell of the atom
what does aufbau principle state?
fill the lowest energy orbitals first
what does Hund’s rule state?
when there are 2 or more orbitals of the same energy, electrons will go into different orbitals rather than pairing up in the same orbital.
what holds ionic bonded atoms together?
electrostatic attraction
what does non-polar mean in covalent bonds?
electrons are shared evenly in the bond
when there a polar covalent bond what does this mean?
electrons are not shared evenly between the atoms, where each atom has a different electronegativity. (more of a pull on the electron towards itself)
what is electron density?
the relative amount of negative charge that is located at each point
what do lone pairs determine?
the reactivity
which c-c bond length is the longest ?
single/sigma c-c bond have larger bond length as only 2 electrons pull the atoms together in the bond
