What is organic chemistry?
“Organic” – until mid 1800’s referred to compounds from living sources (mineral sources were “inorganic”)
Wöhler in 1828 showed that urea, an organic compound, could be made from a minerals

Today, organic compounds are those based on carbon structures.
Organic chemistry is a study of their structures and reactions
Includes biological molecules, drugs, solvents, dyes
Does not include metal salts and materials (inorganic)
Does not include materials of large repeating molecules without sequences (polymers)
Atomic Structure
Structure of an atom Positively charged nucleus (very dense, protons and neutrons) and smal
(10-15 m) Negatively charged electrons are in a cloud (10-10 m) around nucleus Neutral neutrons Electrons forms chemical bonds. Atomic number – number of protons in the nucleus Mass number – the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom Isotopes have the same atomic number but different mass number Atomic weight – average weighted mass of all atoms in an element Molecular weight – sum of atomic weights of all atoms in a molecule

Distribution of Electrons in an Atom Quantum mechanics uses the mathematical equation
of wave motions to characterize the motion of an electron around a nucleus.
Wave functions or orbitals tell us the energy of the electron and the volume of space around the nucleus where an electron is most likely to be found.
The atomic orbital closer to the nucleus has the lowest energy.
Degenerate orbitals have the same energy. Give an example of degenerate orbitals.

Chemical Bonding Theory Van't Hoff and Le Bel proposed that the four
bonds of carbon have specific spatial directions
Atoms surround carbon as corners of a tetrahedron

The Covalent Bond Some atoms form a chemical bond by sharing pairs of
electrons between them. A covalent bond consists of a pair of electrons shared
between two atoms.

Polar Covalent Bonds

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.
Bond Polarity

Dipole Moments Dipole moment () - Net molecular polarity, due to difference in
summed charges
dipole moment (D) = = e x d
(e) : magnitude of the charge on the atom(d) : distance between the two charges
19
Absence of Dipole Moments
In symmetrical molecules, the dipole moments of each bond has one in the opposite direction
The effects of the local dipoles cancel each other
