Hyperconjugative effect includes
CH3, CR3, CH2R, CHR2, C6H5
30
EDG makes the electron pair more available leading to
Enhanced basicity
31
NO2 CX3
Strong EWG
32
F, Cl, Br, I
Weak EWG
33
EWG enhance both
Posivity of H | Dispersal of negative charge
34
EWG enhance both the Posivity of H and Dispersal of negative charge, stabilizing the conjugate base thus leading to
Enhanced acidity
35
Presence of bulky substituents may result on the crowding of other substituents or atoms that may lead to weakening of binds leading to acceleration of bond cleavage
Steric effect
36
Steric effect near an acidic group favors
removal of protons (enhanced acidity)
37
Steric effect near the lone pair of electrons makes them
Less accessible or available for donation (decreasing basicity)
38
Dissolution involves
Breaking IMF = similar | Forming = dissimilar
39
Boiling point increases with
- ⬆️molecular size - ⬇️ branching - ⬆️polarity of the molecule - ⬇️molecular symmetry - ⬇️intramolecular H-bonding
40
Solubility of organic compound increases with
- ⬇️carbon chain length - branching - ⬆️capacity to form intermolecular H-bonding
