Grading Policy
Four 40-minute tests, each worth 60 points. The final exam will consist of six sections. The first four
are like the four tests; the higher grade counts. Section 5 is new material (since the last test). Section 6 is comprehensive. You may take (or not) as many of the first four sections as you want. Everyone must take sections 5 and 6.
There will be no make up exams. Each of the tests may include at least one problem from
the homework assignments. Tests 2- 4 may contain one review question from the previous test.
93%=A, 90%=A-, 87%=B+, 84%=B, 80%=B-, etc.

Attendance & Homework
Attendance is expected, but not officially monitored for grading purposes. Missing 1 day in the summer is like missing 1 week during a
regular semester! Homework problems are assigned, but not collected. Actively working the homework problems allows you to
test whether you understand the material and serves as a review guide for the exams.

Keys to Success in CHM 211
Memorization alone is not sufficient. Reasoning alone is not sufficient. Study three times:
Before the lecture After the lecture Before the test
Actively do problems (Keep a notebook). Cooperate – form study groups.

What is Organic Chemistry?
The study of carbon-containing compounds Important because:
Carbon forms 4 bonds, and can bond to itself in long chains Carbon has three different geometries giving rise to a variety
of structures Carbon bonds strongly to other common elements: O, N, Cl,
etc. Organic compounds have many applications and uses:
dyes, medicines, fabric, plastics, food (protein, carbohydrates, fats, oils), fuel, pesticides, paint, preservatives, hormones, etc.
This PowerPoint covers: Chapter 1. Structure and Bonding

C (Carbon)
Carbon’s atomic number = 6, therefore it has 6 protons in its nucleus.
A neutral atom of 12C has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons; its amu = 12 ( = 6p + 6n)
A neutral atom of 13C has 6 protons, 7 neutrons and 6 electrons; its amu = 13 ( = 6p + 7n)
A neutral atom of 14C has ? protons, ? neutrons and ? electrons; its amu = ? ( = ?p + ?n)
Carbon’s atomic weight = 12.011; this is a weighted average of the three isotopes: 12C, 13C, and 14C.

Parts of an Atom
Protons (+ charge) and neutrons (0 charge) are in the center or nucleus of the atom
Electrons (- charge) are considered to be a cloud of charge around the nucleus. Orbitals describe where the electrons are. Electrons have very little mass compared to protons and neutrons.
Electrons are found in s orbitals (spherical), p orbitals (dumbbell), or d orbitals (various shapes)
Electrons are grouped in different layers or shells.

1.1 Atomic Structure
Structure of an atom Positively charged nucleus (very dense, protons
and neutrons) and small (10-15 m) Negatively charged electrons are in a cloud (10-10
m) around nucleus Diameter is about 2 10-10 m (200 picometers (pm))
[the unit Angstrom (Å) is 10-10 m = 100 pm]

1.2 Atomic Structure: Orbitals
Quantum mechanics: describes electron energies and locations by a wave function,
A plot of 2 describes the region where electrons are most likely to be
An electron cloud has no specific boundary so we represent its shape by the region of highest probability of finding an electron.
Solutions of the wave equation give rise to regions of electron density on each atom of specific shapes (atomic orbitals)

Shapes of Atomic Orbitals
Four different kinds of orbitals occupied by electrons Denoted s, p, d, and f (listed in increasing energy) s and p orbitals are most important in organic chemistry s orbitals: spherical, with the nucleus at center p orbitals: dumbbell-shaped, with the nucleus at the
center
![Page 12: 1 CHM 211 (Organic Chemistry) Summer 2009 Dr. Ned H. Martin Office: Dobo 242E Telephone: 962-3453 (campus) Email: martinn@uncw.edumartinn@uncw.edu](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc35503460f94ab5c0c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

p-Orbitals
There are three perpendicular p orbitals, px, py, and pz, of equal energy
Lobes of a p orbital are separated by region of zero electron density, called a node.

1.3 Atomic Structure: e- Configuration
The lowest energy electron configuration of an atom of any element can be predicted by following three rules: The aufbau principle: Electrons are filled into the lowest
energy orbitals first (1s, then 2s, then 2p, then 3s, then 3p, then 4s, then 3d)
The Pauli exclusion principle: Only two electrons may occupy an orbital; they must have opposite spin orientations.
Hund’s rule: If there are two or more equal energy (degenerate) orbitals available, the electrons will spread out among the orbitals with parallel spins, only pairing up after the orbitals are half-filled.

1.4 The Nature of the Chemical Bond
Atoms form bonds because the compound that results is more stable than the separate atoms.
Ionic bonds in salts form as a result of electron transfers, followed by electrostatic attraction between opposite charges.
Organic compounds form covalent bonds by sharing electrons (G. N. Lewis, 1916).
Lewis structures show valence electrons of an atom as dots. Hydrogen has one dot, representing its 1s electron. Carbon has four dots (2s2 2p2).
Stable molecule results in a completed shell, an octet (eight e-) for main-group atoms (two for hydrogen).
![Page 16: 1 CHM 211 (Organic Chemistry) Summer 2009 Dr. Ned H. Martin Office: Dobo 242E Telephone: 962-3453 (campus) Email: martinn@uncw.edumartinn@uncw.edu](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc35503460f94ab5c0c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Number of Covalent Bonds to an Atom
Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons form one, two, or three bonds.
Atoms with four or more valence electrons form as many bonds as they need electrons to fill the s and p levels of their valence shells to reach a stable octet.
Carbon has four valence electrons (2s2 2p2), therefore forms four bonds (CH4).
![Page 17: 1 CHM 211 (Organic Chemistry) Summer 2009 Dr. Ned H. Martin Office: Dobo 242E Telephone: 962-3453 (campus) Email: martinn@uncw.edumartinn@uncw.edu](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc35503460f94ab5c0c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Valence of Oxygen and Nitrogen
Oxygen has six valence electrons (2s2 2p4), so it forms two bonds (H2O).
![Page 18: 1 CHM 211 (Organic Chemistry) Summer 2009 Dr. Ned H. Martin Office: Dobo 242E Telephone: 962-3453 (campus) Email: martinn@uncw.edumartinn@uncw.edu](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc35503460f94ab5c0c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Valence of Nitrogen
Nitrogen has five valence electrons (2s2 2p3), and it forms three bonds (NH3).
![Page 19: 1 CHM 211 (Organic Chemistry) Summer 2009 Dr. Ned H. Martin Office: Dobo 242E Telephone: 962-3453 (campus) Email: martinn@uncw.edumartinn@uncw.edu](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc35503460f94ab5c0c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Non-bonding electrons
Valence electrons not used in bonding are called nonbonding electrons, or lone-pair electrons. Consider the nitrogen atom in ammonia (NH3):
N shares six valence electrons in three covalent bonds; the remaining two valence electrons are a nonbonding (lone) pair.
![Page 20: 1 CHM 211 (Organic Chemistry) Summer 2009 Dr. Ned H. Martin Office: Dobo 242E Telephone: 962-3453 (campus) Email: martinn@uncw.edumartinn@uncw.edu](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc35503460f94ab5c0c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

1.5 Valence Bond Theory
Covalent bond forms when two atoms approach each other closely so that a singly occupied orbital on one atom overlaps a singly occupied orbital on the other atom.
Electrons are paired in the overlapping orbitals and are attracted to nuclei of both atoms. The H–H bond results from the
overlap of two singly occupied hydrogen 1s orbitals.
The H-H bond is cylindrically symmetrical, sigma () bond.

Bond Energy
The reaction 2 H· H2 releases 436 kJ/mol.
The product has 436 kJ/mol less energy than two H atoms: H–H has bond strength of 436 kJ/mol. (1 kJ = 0.2390 kcal; 1 kcal = 4.184 kJ).
![Page 22: 1 CHM 211 (Organic Chemistry) Summer 2009 Dr. Ned H. Martin Office: Dobo 242E Telephone: 962-3453 (campus) Email: martinn@uncw.edumartinn@uncw.edu](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dc35503460f94ab5c0c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Bond Length
Distance between nuclei that leads to maximum stability.
If too close, they repel because both nuclei are positively charged.
If nuclei are too far apart, bonding is weak.

Elements other than C can have hybridized orbitals.
The H–N–H bond angle in ammonia (NH3) is 107.3°, close to the tetrahedral 109.5°.
N’s orbitals (s+p+p+p) hybridize to form four sp3 orbitals.
One sp3 orbital holds two nonbonding electrons, and three sp3 orbitals have one electron each, forming bonds to three Hs.

only two covalent bonds, leaving two lone pairs. The H–O–H bond angle is 104.5°, slightly smaller
than the perfect tetrahedral angle (109.5º) because of electron-electron repulsion between the lone pairs.

1.11 Molecular Orbital Theory
A molecular orbital (MO): where electrons are most likely to be found (specific energy and general shape) in a molecule.
The two (or more) atomic orbitals combine to make two (or more) molecular orbitals.
Additive combination (bonding) MO is lower in energy. Subtractive combination (antibonding) MO is higher.

Molecular Orbitals in Ethene
The bonding MO results from combining p orbital lobes with the same algebraic sign.
The antibonding MO comes from combining lobes with opposite signs.
Only the bonding MO is occupied by electrons.

Summary
Organic chemistry – chemistry of carbon compounds
Atom: positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons Electrons occupy orbitals around the nucleus. Different orbitals have different energy levels and different
shapes s orbitals are spherical, p orbitals are dumbbell-
shaped Covalent bonds - electron pair is shared between
atoms
Valence bond theory - electron sharing occurs by overlap of two atomic orbitals

Summary, cont’d
Hybrid Atomic Orbital Theory - electron sharing occurs by overlap of two orbitals formed by combining (hybridizing) two or more atomic orbitals (sp, sp2, sp3)
Molecular orbital (MO) theory - bonds result from combination of atomic orbitals to give molecular orbitals, which belong to the entire molecule
Sigma () bonds - Circular in cross-section and are formed by head-on interaction
Pi () bonds – “dumbbell” shape, from sideways interaction of p orbitals; located above and below the bond framework of the molecule

Summary, cont’d.
Carbon uses hybrid orbitals to form bonds in organic molecules. In single bonds with tetrahedral geometry, carbon has four sp3
hybrid orbitals In double bonds with planar geometry, carbon uses three
equivalent sp2 hybrid orbitals and one unhybridized p orbital Carbon uses two equivalent sp hybrid orbitals to form a triple
bond with linear geometry, with two unhybridized p orbitals
Atoms such as nitrogen and oxygen also hybridize to form strong, oriented bonds The nitrogen atom in ammonia and the oxygen atom in water
are sp3-hybridized

Quick Review
Carbon One s and three p orbitals hybridize to form four sp3
orbitals In methane and ethane, C is tetrahedral, with ~109.5°
bond angles In ethene, One s and two p orbitals hybridize to form
three sp2 orbitals. The bonds between the nuclei are the bonds from the overlapped sp2 orbitals. The remaining p orbitals overlap side-to-side to form a bond. C-C bonds are weaker than C-C bonds.
