What is the s character and p character percentage for an:
SP SP2 SP3 |
SP = 50 % for each
SP2 = 33% s and 67% for p SP3 = 25% s and 75% for p |
|
What is the molecular geometry:
SP SP2 SP3 |
SP = is linear and angle is 180
SP2 = is trigonal planar and angle is 120 SP3= is tetrahedral and angle is 109.5 |
|
How do you determine the degree of unsaturation and what does unsaturated mean
|
Unsaturated means one double bond or a ring and the formula for degree of unsaturation is:
((2n + 2)-X/2) X is for hydrogens and halogens. If Nitrogen then add one carbon and add one hydrogen |
|
Describe what a degree of unsaturation of 2 means
|
This could mean:
2 double bonds, 2 rings 1 ring and 1 double bond |
|
What is the trend if you have a shorter bond length, when comparing BDE and number of bonds
|
The BDE will be higher and the number of bonds will also be higher
|
|
What does BDE mean and how should you use it to compare different bonds in comparison to similar bonds
|
BDE is the energy required for homolytically cleave and should ONLY be used for similar bonds
|
|
What are the characteristics of a regiosmer and what are the other names for this isomer? Also are they easy to separate....
|
These are called constitutional isomers, regiosomers or structural isomers. They are the same formula, just connected differently. Yes they are easy to separate.
|
|
What are some characteristics of an conformational isomer?
|
Can’t separate at room temperature
Same atomic connectivity but differ by rotation around sigma bond |
|
What are the four rules for giving absolute stereocenter configuration
|
Put the priority on the atom with the highest atomic number (then atomic weight)
If dashed line is not 4 then switch two numbers so it is. Only label 1-3 If followed step 2 then switch R and S |
|
What do entiomers share in common, concerning physical properties
|
They share almost all chemical properties
|
|
What makes an entiomer
|
They have at least one chiral center and all the chiral centers are different
|
|
What property is different with enantiomers
|
The optical rotation is the same magnitude but opposite direction
|
|
Is a racemic mixture of enantiomers optically active and is a meso compound optically active
|
No
|
|
What is used to separate enantiomers
|
Resolution

Fractional Distilation
|
|
What is used to separate constituitional isomers
|
Simple Distilation
|
|
What isomer is this based on these characteristics:
o Must have two chiral centers o Not all chiral centers are opposite o No way to determine specific rotation o They also have different chemical properties |
Diasteromers
|
|
What makes an epimer
|
An epimer is a fisher projection for a sugar and differs at one sterocenter
|
|
How do you specify the D or L in an epimer
|
o The d or l is being specified by the highest number chiral center in the fisher projection
If hydroxyl group on the right it is D |
|
What is an anomer
|
It is a cyclized ring of epimer
|
|
Where do anomers differ
|
o They differ at the anomeric carbon which is C-1
|
|
What are some characteristics of a meso compound?
|
o Can’t have meso compounds
o Optically inactive o Have even number of chiral compounds o Have to look at the mirror image |
|
What is needed to have conjugation/resonance
|
You need to have three or more sp/sp2 in a row
|
|
What makes the best resonance structure, write in order of priortity
|
Fill Octet rule
Minimize the separation of charge Having the negative charge on electronegative |
|
What happens if you have an lone pair atom concerning resonance
|
If atoms with lone pairs is adjacent to sp2 then it is sp2
|
|
When does melting point/boiling increase
|
Longer chain and increase IMF
|
|
When does Boiling/Melting decrease
|
Add more chains
|
|
How many hydrocarbons in water are considered soluble
|
