Chapter 4: Alkenes and Alkynes 99 Chapter 4: Alkenes and Alkynes Problems 4.1 Write the IUPAC name of each unsaturated hydrocarbon: (a) (b) (c) 3,3-dimethyl-1-pentene 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene 3,3-dimethyl-1-butyne 4.2 Name each alkene, and, using the cis-trans system, specify its configuration: (a) (b) cis-4-methyl-2-pentene trans-2,2-dimethyl-3-hexene 4.3 Name each alkene and specify its configuration by the E,Z system: Cl (a) (b) (c) Cl Br (E)-1-chloro-2,3- (Z)-1-bromo-1- (E)-2,3,4- dimethyl-2-pentene chloro-1-propene trimethyl-3-heptene 4.4 Write the IUPAC name for each cycloalkene: (a) (b) (c) 1-isopropyl-4- 4-tert-butylcyclohexene cyclooctene methylcyclohexene 100 Chapter 4: Alkenes and Alkynes 4.5 Draw structural formulas for the other two cis-trans isomers of 2,4-heptadiene: cis,trans-2,4-heptadiene cis,cis-2,4-heptadiene 4.6 How many cis-trans isomers are possible for the following unsaturated alcohol? CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3C=CHCH2CH2C=CHCH2CH2C=CHCH2OH There are three carbon-carbon double bonds, but cis-trans isomerism is only possible for the two that are indicated by arrows. cis-trans Isomerism is not possible for the alkene on the far left of the molecule because one of the two alkene carbons is bonded to two 2 identical groups (CH3). The number of possible cis-trans isomers is therefore 2 = 4. Quick Quiz 1. Ethylene and acetylene are constitutional isomers. False. Constitutional isomers must have the same molecular formula but different atom connectivity (bonding sequence). Ethylene and acetylene are respectively C2H4 and C2H2. 2. Alkanes that are liquid at room temperature are insoluble in water and when added to water will float on water. True. Alkanes are nonpolar and therefore water-insoluble, and they have a lower density than water. 3. The bulk of the ethylene used by the chemical industry worldwide is obtained from nonrenewable resources. True. Ethylene is derived from the cracking of hydrocarbons. 4. Alkenes and alkynes are nonpolar molecules. True. Alkenes and alkynes do not contain any polar bonds, so the molecules do not have a net dipole moment. 5. The IUPAC name of CH3CH=CHCH3 is 1,2-dimethylethylene. False. The longest carbon chain is four carbons long, which leads to the name 2-butene. 6. Cyclohexane and 1-hexene are constitutional isomers. True. They have the same molecular formula but a different connectivity of atoms. 7. The IUPAC name of an alkene is derived from the name of the longest chain of carbon atoms that contains the double bond. True. The chain is also numbered such that the double bond has the lowest possible number. Chapter 4: Alkenes and Alkynes 101 8. There are two classes of unsaturated hydrocarbons, alkenes and alkynes. False. Arenes, which are compounds based on benzene, are also unsaturated hydrocarbons. 9. Both geraniol and menthol (Figure 4.2) show cis-trans isomerism. True. Geraniol can exhibit cis-trans isomerism at one of the double bonds. Menthol can show cis-trans isomerism with respect to the substituents bonded to the cyclohexane ring. 10. Terpenes are identified by their carbon skeletons, namely, one that can be divided into five-carbon isoprene units. True. All terpenes consist of isoprene building blocks. 11. 1,2-Dimethylcyclohexene shows cis-trans isomerism. False. The double bond is a part of a six-membered ring and must be cis with respect to the ring. There is no cis-trans isomerism with respect to the methyl groups on the ring because they are both bonded to sp2 carbons and are planar. 12. 2-Methyl 2-butene shows cis-trans isomerism. False. Carbon 2 is bonded to two identical substituents, two methyl groups. 13. Both ethylene and acetylene are planar molecules. True. The carbon atoms in ethylene are sp2-hybridized, and all the carbon and hydrogen atoms lie in the same plane. Acetylene has sp-hybridized carbons, and all the atoms of acetylene lie in the same plane. 14. The physical properties of alkenes are similar to those of alkanes with the same carbon skeletons. True. These properties include density, melting point, and boiling point. 15. Isoprene is the common name for 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene. True. Realize that once this compound is incorporated into a terpene, it need not bear the same order of single and double bonds. Other chemical modifications can also be performed on the terpene. However, the five-carbon skeleton of isoprene is always retained in a terpene. Chemical Connections 4A. Explain the basis for the saying “A rotten apple can spoil the barrel.” Ethylene is a natural ripening agent for apples. A rotten apple, or one that is overripe, releases ethylene and causes the other apples in the barrel to ripen. 4B. Based on the information in this chemical connection, what can you deduce about the physical properties of leaf cell membranes? Isoprene is dissolved in the leaf cell membranes before it is released into the atmosphere. Because isoprene is a nonpolar hydrocarbon, the membranes must also be relatively nonpolar. At higher temperatures, isoprene is more volatile and more easily released. 102 Chapter 4: Alkenes and Alkynes End-of-Chapter Problems Structure of Alkenes and Alkynes 4.7 Classify each of the following as either an alkane, alkene, alkyne, or arene. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (a) alkene (b) alkane (c) arene (d) arene (e) alkene 4.8 Give the hybridization of each of the highlighted carbons in problem 4.7. (a) sp2 (b) sp3 (c) sp2 (d) sp (e) sp2 4.9 Each of the highlighted carbons in problem 4.7 is attached to two other carbons. Give the approximate C—C—C bond angle (with the highlighted carbon being the central carbon) for each of these compounds. (a) 120° (b) 109.5° (c) 120° (d) 180° (e) 120° 4.10 How many hydrogens are attached to of each of the highlighted carbons in problem 4.7? (a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 1 (d) 0 (e) 1 4.11 Cyclohexene (see below) is stable, but cyclohexyne is not. Offer an explanation why. cyclohexene cyclohexyne There is too much “angle strain” in cyclohexyne. The alkyne carbons want to have linear geometry (bond angle = 180°), but the geometry of the ring is forcing the angle to be closer to 120°, Chapter 4: Alkenes and Alkynes 103 4.12 Each carbon atom in ethane and in ethylene is surrounded by eight valence electrons and has four bonds to it. Explain how VSEPR (Section 1.3) predicts a bond angle of 109.5° about each carbon in ethane, but an angle of 120° about each carbon in ethylene. Although each carbon atom in ethane and ethylene is surrounded by eight valence electrons and has four bonds to it, the shape and geometry about each carbon is based on the number of regions of electron density associated with it. In ethane, each carbon has four regions of electron density and a tetrahedral shape, which has bond angles of 109.5°. Whereas, each carbon in ethylene has three regions of electron density (remember that a double bond is counted as a single region of electron density), resulting in a trigonal planar arrangement (120°). 4.13 Explain the difference between saturated and unsaturated. A compound that is saturated does not contain any carbon-carbon π bonds. Compounds that are unsaturated contain one or more carbon-carbon π bonds. 4.14 Following is the structure of 1,2-propadiene (allene). In it, the plane created by H−C−H of carbon 1 is perpendicular to that created by H−C−H of carbon 3. H H 1 2 3 C C C H H 1,2-Propadiene (Allene) (a) State the orbital hybridization of each carbon in allene. Carbons 1 and 3 are sp2-hybridized, while carbon 2 is sp-hybridized. (b) Account for the molecular geometry of allene in terms of the orbital overlap model. Specifically, explain why all four hydrogen atoms are not in the same plane. Carbon 2, which is the carbon that bears two double bonds, is sp-hybridized. In sp hybridization, the two remaining p orbitals are perpendicular to each other. One of the two p orbitals forms the π bond with carbon 1 while the other p orbital forms the π bond with carbon 2. Accordingly, these two π bonds are perpendicular to each other. As a result, the trigonal plane formed by the CH2 on the left is perpendicular to the one formed by the CH2 group on the right. 104 Chapter 4: Alkenes and Alkynes Nomenclature of Alkenes and Alkynes 4.15 Nine different compounds have the molecular formula C4H6. Draw all nine.

  • VSEPR Theory

    VSEPR Theory

    VSEPR Theory The valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model is often used in chemistry to predict the three dimensional arrangement, or the geometry, of molecules. This model predicts the shape of a molecule by taking into account the repulsion between electron pairs. This handout will discuss how to use the VSEPR model to predict electron and molecular geometry. Here are some definitions for terms that will be used throughout this handout: Electron Domain – The region in which electrons are most likely to be found (bonding and nonbonding). A lone pair, single, double, or triple bond represents one region of an electron domain. H2O has four domains: 2 single bonds and 2 nonbonding lone pairs. Electron Domain may also be referred to as the steric number. Nonbonding Pairs Bonding Pairs Electron domain geometry - The arrangement of electron domains surrounding the central atom of a molecule or ion. Molecular geometry - The arrangement of the atoms in a molecule (The nonbonding domains are not included in the description). Bond angles (BA) - The angle between two adjacent bonds in the same atom. The bond angles are affected by all electron domains, but they only describe the angle between bonding electrons. Lewis structure - A 2-dimensional drawing that shows the bonding of a molecule’s atoms as well as lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule. Provided by VSEPR Theory The Academic Center for Excellence 1 April 2019 Octet Rule – Atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons to have a full outer shell consisting of 8 electrons. When drawing Lewis structures or molecules, each atom should have an octet.

    Sample Exercise 9.1 Using the VSEPR Model

    Sample Exercise 9.1 Using the VSEPR Model – Use the VSEPR model to predict the molecular geometry of (a) O3, (b) SnCl3 . Solution Analyze: We are given the molecular formulas of a molecule and a polyatomic ion, both conforming to the general formula ABn and both having a central atom from the p block of the periodic table. Plan: To predict the molecular geometries of these species, we first draw their Lewis structures and then count the number of electron domains around the central atom. The number of electron domains gives the electron-domain geometry. We then obtain the molecular geometry from the arrangement of the domains that are due to bonds. (a) We can draw two resonance structures for O3: Because of resonance, the bonds between the central O atom and the outer O atoms are of equal length. In both resonance structures the central O atom is bonded to the two outer O atoms and has one nonbonding pair. Thus, there are three electron domains about the central O atoms. (Remember that a double bond counts as a single electron domain.) The arrangement of three electron domains is trigonal planar (Table 9.1). Two of the domains are from bonds, and one is due to a nonbonding pair. So, the molecule has a bent shape with an ideal bond angle of 120° (Table 9.2).

The influence of aryl group substitution and/or conjugation axis variation on the optical and electronic properties of these benzobis(oxazole) (BBO) compounds was evaluated. Structural modifications could be used to alter the HOMO, LUMO, and band gap over a range of 1.0, 0.5, and 0.5 eV, respectively. However, depending on the location and identity of the substituent, the HOMO level can be altered without significantly impacting the LUMO level. This is supported by the calculated frontier molecular orbitals. Our results indicate that the FMOs and band gaps of benzobisoxazoles can be readily modified either jointly or individually. ■ INTRODUCTION Among the aforementioned examples, the benzo[1,2-d:4,5- d′]bis(oxazole) (BBO)-based cruciforms are particularly During the past four decades, interest in the development of π- interesting, since these molecules have two different con- conjugated materials has increased due to their potential use as jugation pathways: 2,6-conjugation through the oxazole rings replacements for inorganic materials in a variety of semi- and 4,8-conjugation through the central benzene ring (Scheme conducting applications including field effect transistors − − 1).

    AJR Ch10 Molecular Geometry.Docx Slide 1 Chapter 10 Molecular

    Chapter 10 Molecular Geometry (Ch9 Jespersen, Ch10 Chang) The arrangement of the atoms of a molecule in space is the molecular geometry. This is what gives the molecules their shape. Molecular shape is only discussed when there are three or more atoms connected (diatomic shape is obvious). Molecular geometry is essentially based upon five basic geometrical structures, and can be predicted by the valence shell electron pair repulsion model (VSEPR). The VSEPR Method This method deals with electron domains, which are regions in which it is most likely to find the valence electrons. This includes the: -bonding pairs (located between two atoms, bonding domain), and -nonbonding pairs or lone pairs (located principally on one atom, nonbonding domain). (Note for bonding domains, they contain all the electrons shared between two atoms – so a multiple bond is considered as one domain). The best arrangement of a given number of electron domains (charge clouds) is the one that minimizes the repulsions among the different domains. The arrangement of electron domains about the central atom of a molecule is called its electron-domain geometry (or electronic geometry). AJR Ch10 Molecular Geometry.docx Slide 1 The five basic geometrical structures are linear, trigonal planar (planar triangular), tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramid and octahedral. Linear Trigonal Planar AJR Ch10 Molecular Geometry.docx Slide 2 Tetrahedral Trigonal Bipyramid AJR Ch10 Molecular Geometry.docx Slide 3 Octahedral The number and type of electron domains control the geometry; the number and type of electron domains is obtained from the Lewis structure. There are two general situations – either the central atom (which controls the geometry) has non-bonding electrons (lone pairs), or it does not.

    Foreword In order to improve learning outcomes the Department of Basic Education conducted research to determine the specific areas that learners struggle with in Grade 12 examinations. The research included a trend analysis by subject experts of learner performance over a period of five years as well as learner examination scripts in order to diagnose deficiencies or misconceptions in particular content areas. In addition, expert teachers were interviewed to determine the best practicesto ensure mastery of thetopic by learners and improve outcomes in terms of quality and quantity. The results of the research formed the foundation and guiding principles for the development of the booklets. In each identified subject, key content areas were identified for the development of material that will significantly improve learner's conceptual understanding whilst leading to improved performance in the subject. The booklets are developed as part of a series of booklets, with each bookletfocussing onlyon one specific challenging topic. The selected content is explained in detail and include relevant concepts from Grades 10 - 12 to ensure conceptual understanding. The main purpose of these booklets is to assist learners to master the content starting from a basic conceptual level of understanding to the more advanced level. The content in each booklets is presented in an easy to understand manner including the use of mind maps, summaries and exercises to support understanding and conceptual progression. These booklets should ideally be used as part of a focussed revision or enrichment program by learners after the topics have been taught in class. The booklets encourage learners to take ownership of their own learning and focus on developing and mastery critical content and skills such as reading and higher order thinking skills.
