  1. Chapter 1 Structure and Bonding

  2. Chapter 1 - Definitions • Organic Chemistry – is the study of carbon containing compounds. • Orbitals – are the specific regions of an atom which maintains electrons. This is defined by quantum mechanics. • Covalent Bond – is formed when an electron pair is shared between atoms. • Valance Bond Theory – maintains that bonding occurs by the overlapping of two atomic orbitals.

  3. Chapter 1 - Definitions • Molecular Orbital (MO) Theory – maintains that bonds results from the mathematical combination of atomic orbitals to give molecular orbitals, which belong to the entire molecule. • Sigma (s) bonds – are bonds that are created by the overlap of two s orbitals (sphere).

  4. What is Organic Chemistry? • Organic Chemistry is defined as the study of carbon compounds. • There are 10 atoms which are considered in organic chemistry. These atoms are carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, silicon, phosphorous, sulfur, chlorine, bromine, iodine.

  5. Defined Organic Molecules

  6. What is Carbon so special? • Carbon has the unique ability to bond together to form long chains or ring structures. • This allows carbon to make tens of billions of molecules. • These molecules can range from DNA and plastics to pharmaceuticals.

  7. Review (1) - Nucleus • An atom maintains 2 parts, the nucleus and the shells. • Protons, positively charge particles, and Neutrons, neutral charge particles are found in the nucleus of atoms. • Although small the nucleus maintains all the mass of an atom with both protons and neutrons contributing to the atomic mass. • Rule: All protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus.

  8. Review (2) – Electrons and Orbitals • Electrons, negatively charge particles, circle around and through the nucleus in specific orbitals, which defines the electrons path, and shells, which defines the distance from the nucleus. Electron are extremely small when compared to the nucleus and contribute nothing to the molecular mass to the atom. • Orbitals, are probability clouds which determine where the electron might be. This was determined by a mathematical equation called a wave equation, y.

  9. 1s Orbital

  10. 1s and 2s Orbitals

  11. Valance Shell • The Valance Shell is the outermost shell which contains at least one electron. • In this example the 2s is the valance shell.

  12. Energy Levels

  13. Additional Definitions • Atomic Number (Z) – the number of protons in the atom’s nucleus. • Mass Number (A) – the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. • Atomic Mass – are the weighted average mass unit (amu) of an element’s natural occurring isotopes is called the atomic mass (or atomic weight).

  14. Review (3) – Types of Orbitals • There are many orbitals, each with specific number of electrons, distance from the nucleus, and shape. • Specifically there are 4 different types of orbitals, s, p, d, f with organic chemistry focusing on the s and p orbitals.

  16. p Orbitals

  17. p Orbitals

  18. Three Overlapping p Orbitals

  19. 2s + 2p Orbitals

  20. 2s + 2p Orbitals

  21. Review (4) - Isotopes • Isotopes – atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers. • This is done by the addition of neutrons to the nucleus of an atom. • Remember that the mass is from neutrons and protons not electrons.

  22. Review (5) – Shell/Orbital Differences • Difference between a shell and a orbital. • An orbital is the specific path that a pair of electron makes around the nucleus. • The shell defines either one or several orbital that are a specific distance away with a node between them.

  23. Defined Organic Molecules 10Ne = Shells (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) = Orbital (2p)

  24. Review (6) - Atomic Structure • These numbers denote a series of orbitals that are a certain distance away from the nucleus, that are separated by a node. • A node is a region where electron density is zero, or a space between different shells.

  25. Electronic Shells

  26. 1 S Electronic Shells

  27. 2s + 2p Orbitals

  28. Take Home Message • General Understanding: • 1) Atomic Structure • 2) Valance Shell • 3) Orbitals vs Shells

  29. What are Bonds? • Bond are the either the donation of an electron (ionic) or the sharing of electron(s) (covalent) between two different atoms.

  35. The Octet rules states that most organic atoms needs 8 electrons to fill its outer shell. Only one example is found that wants only 2 electrons (HYDROGEN). Atoms that need 8 electrons: Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br), Iodine (I). The Octet Rule

  36. (To fufill the octet) This number of bonds are formed: 4 = Carbon (C) 3 = Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) 2 = Oxygen (O), Sulfur (S) 1 = Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br), Iodine (I), and Hydrogen (H) Cheat Sheet

  37. If you have 1 carbon how many chlorines do you need? 1 carbon makes 4 bonds. Chlorine makes one bond. So you need 1 carbon and 4 chlorines. CCl4 GeCl4 AlH3 CH2Cl2 CH3NH2 CH4 Example

  38. Hint – (chapter 1 only) • 1) Look for the Central Atom • The central atoms in organic chemistry is normally Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Sulfur (S), and Oxygen (O) • 2) Once you have the central atoms in the molecule then they are filled in with Fluorine (F), Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br), Iodine (I), and Hydrogen (H)

  39. Electron-Dot Structure Examples 1) Find the Central Atom. 2) Place the electrons around it. Make sure that you fill the electrons 1 for each orbitalfirst (4 orbitals) until all electrons around the are used. 3) Then add the electrons from the remaining atoms. Methane Ethanol

  40. Line Structures Examples 1) Find the Central Atom. 2) Place 1 straight line for each pair of electrons to the remaining atoms. Ethanol Methane

  43. sp3 Orbitals of Carbon (C) • Normally you have 1s orbital and 3p orbitals. However in the case of Carbon (C) the S and P orbitals merge to form the sp3 orbitals.

  44. sp3 Orbitals of Carbon (C) • sp3 orbital is the combination the s and p orbitals. • Example: 4 electrons from Carbon (C) and 4 electrons from the 4 Hydrogens (H)
