Q

what is it called when a benzene ring has Ph attached to it?

Q

when there a polar covalent bond what does this mean?

A

electrons are not shared evenly between the atoms, where each atom has a different electronegativity. (more of a pull on the electron towards itself)

Q

which c-c bond length is the longest ?

A

single/sigma c-c bond have larger bond length as only 2 electrons pull the atoms together in the bond

25
Q

which c-c bond length is the shortest?

A

triples bond as there are 6 electrons and a stronger pull towards each other- decreasing the bond length

26
Q

how do you workout dipole moment?

A

amount of electrical charge x bond length

27
Q

what is a EPM?

A

electrostatic potential map is a representation where the electrostatic potential at the molecular surface is indicated by colours so its easy to visualise the distribution of charge in a molecule. (red is negative and blue is positive)

28
Q

what is the trend for electronegativity in the periodic table

A

electronegativity in creases as you go across the table

nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, sulfur, chlorine, bromine, iodine

29
Q

how can it be predicted whether a bond will be polar?

A

electro negativities can be used to predict this

30
Q

in bond dipole moments what does the arrow represent?

A

arrow: bond dipole created and the direction the electrons pull towards-> delta negative one (more electronegative pull)

31
Q

what are dipole moments due to ?

A

difference in electronegativity and amount of charge and stance of separation (measure in debyes D)

32
Q

NH2 (AMINE), OH (ALCOHOL), Cl, N+-CL-
order these groups attached to alkanes in order of increasing polarity

A

NH2 (AMINE),
OH (ALCOHOL),
Cl,
N+-CL-

33
Q

if two of the same atoms or molecule was joined together in a bond would it be polar or non polar
E.G:
H2
CH3-CH3

A

NON-POLAR SIMILAR ELECTROGNETIVITY

34
Q

TRUE OR FALSE:

Electronegativity differences
of less than ~0.4 result in nonpolar covalent bonds,
Differences up to 1.9 indicate increasingly polar
covalent bonds, and differences of 2 or more
indicate ionic bonds.

A

true

35
Q

what is the polarity of a c-h bond

A

non-polar

36
Q

what does a correct dipole orientation look like?

A

arrow above bonding pointing from left to right unless its a 3d shape

37
Q

how does a molecule with polar covalent bonds have no net polarity?

A

their symmetrical shapes cause individual bond polarities to cancel each other out

38
Q

is bezene rings polar or non polar

A

non polar

39
Q

what happens to toluene in water?

A

toluene floats in water as it is less dense than water

40
Q

what is the equation for working out the formal charge?

A

Formal Charge= number valence electrons - (e- in lone pairs + number of bonds)

41
Q

what does lipophilic mean?

A

the ability of a chemical compound to dissolve in fats, oils, lipids and non polar solvents such as hexane or toluene.

42
Q

what are lipophilic features?

A

like benzene, ch3, c-c
non-polar

43
Q

what are hydrophilic properties?

A

OH, N
polar

44
Q

what are the two linear combination of atomic orbitals?

A

45
Q

what is bond formation?

A

Q

what does IN PHASE mean in wave interactions?

Q

what happens to waves that are in phase

A

they add together and aptitude increases

what happens to waves that are out of phase?

A

the waves out of phase cancel out and cause a destructive overlap.
