Organic chemistry Flashcards
Which chair form is the most stable
None H equatorial- equatorial are more stable than axial chair form
When drawing your chairs and the question ask you to draw the more stable chair which chair formation is more stable
(Larger substituent) none H’s equatorial - equatorial position are more stable than axial chair position
Which is stronger and which is weaker out of a pi(double bond) and sigma (single bond)
A single bond is stronger because it is more flexible and a double bond is weaker because it doesn’t have flexibility( Cannot rotate)

What is a resonance structure?r
The ability to change a single Lewis structure that does not provide the adequate picture
Provides a larger amount of space for electrons to move around.
How can you determine if a structure is resonance structure?
1) . Electrons move but atom do not move bonds/ lone pairs
2) . If an atom moves then you do not have resonance structure
Allyllic resonance?
The most frequent resonance situation is when a charge atom is attached to a double bond it atom.
Acid is a proton——————?
Donor
Base is a proton —————?
Acceptor
How does the conjugate relationship different?
The relationship differ by one hydrogen and one charge value -+

Allyllic resonance?
The most frequent resonance situation is when a charge atom is attached to a double bond it atom.
If an arrow➡️ starts with a lone pair points to an adjacent ATOM?
A new double bond is formed
.. ⤵️
A B+ ➡️A==B
The charges become neutral
If a arrow starts at a single bond and is pointed to an atom?
The single bond breaks. if uncharged two new charges are formed
A—-B——> A+ ➕ B:-
If an arrow starts with a bond and points towards an adjacent atom, the atom
The atom it’s pointed to will gain one additional lone pair and the single bond breaks
⤵️ ⤵️
A———B——-> A+. ➕. B-:
If an arrow starts with a lone pair pointed to adjacent bond
The lone pair will turn into a bond to form single or double bond and be come neutral
If an arrow starts with a lone pair and points towards an adjacent bond
A new double bond will form
⤵️. ⤵️
..
A. — B+ ➡️ A==B
..-
A=B+ ➡️ A⏭B
If an arrow points towards a bond…
The bond will increase
If an arrow starts from a double bond and point towards an adjacent atom
The double bond breaks and the single bond remain
..
A = B —-> A+———B-
If an arrow starts from a double bond and points to an adjacent bond
A new double bond is formed
⤵️ ⤵️
A= B - C —-» A+——B==C
If an arrow starts with a single bond and point towards a distant atom
The single bond brakes and a new single bond is formed
⤵️. ⤵️
A—-B C——-> A—- C B+
When at arrows starts at a double bond and point to a positively charged atom
The double bond breaks and become a single bond and a new single bond forms.
⤵️. ⤵️
x = Y + Z+ ——> X+——Y——Z
Can a you start arrow at a double bond to a C- carbon anion ( which has 1 lone pair)
If the
When you gain/ accept an electron you become more
Negative/anion
AcceptIng electrons
When you lose or donate an electron you become more
Positive/cation
An arrow must always point towards?
A atom bc when electrons move they always go to some new atom
If a bond is breaking the arrow should start from where?
The arrow to start from the bond that’s being broken
When bonds changes but formal charges doesn’t change
Substitution is involved
What is a substitution?
When an atom gives up an old bond and replace it with the new bond
Cation are more?
C+ N+O+
Acidic than neutral
Anions are more?
C- N- O-

When using the line (skeletal) formula,which atoms must be specified?
O - N
O - H
