  • Inductive Effect
    Dr Anju K. Gupta Associate Professor Department of Chemistry A.N. College, Patna Lecture note for B.Sc. (I) Subsidiary Inductive Effect If a covalent bond is formed between atoms having similar electronegativity, the bonding electrons will be shared equally between the two atoms. For example, in hydrogen molecule, the two hydrogen atoms have identical electronegativities. Therefore, the electron pair is shared equally between the two hydrogen atoms and so the molecular orbital (σ-bond) will be symmetrically distributed. Similarly, if we consider a chlorine molecule, the molecular orbital (σ- bond) formed between the two identical chlorine atoms is symmetrically distributed. This type of bond is called a non-polar covalent bond. However, if we consider a hydrogen chloride molecule, the electron pair is not equally shared between hydrogen and chlorine because chlorine has a greater electronegativity than hydrogen. Therefore, the electron pair shifts towards the more electronegative atom. This causes polarization in the bond in which the more electronegative atom chlorine acquires a partial positive charge. This type of bond in which unequal sharing of electron pair between two atoms of different electronegativities are involved is called a polar covalent bond. The atom which has a greater share of the paired electrons is given a symbol δ- and the atom with a smaller share is given a symbol δ+. Thus, a polar covalent bond can be represented as: 1 Dr Anju K.

  • Lesson 21: Acids & Bases
    Lesson 21: Acids & Bases - Far From Basic Lesson Objectives: • Students will identify acids and bases by the Lewis, Bronsted-Lowry, and Arrhenius models. • Students will calculate the pH of given solutions. Getting Curious You’ve probably heard of pH before. Many personal hygiene products make claims about pH that are sometimes based on true science, but frequently are not. pH is the measurement of [H+] ion concentration in any solution. Generally, it can tell us about the acidity or alkaline (basicness) of a solution. Click on the CK-12 PLIX Interactive below for an introduction to acids, bases, and pH, and then answer the questions below. Directions: Log into CK-12 as follows: Username - your Whitmore School Username Password - whitmore2018 Questions: Copy and paste questions 1-3 in the Submit Box at the bottom of this page, and answer the questions before going any further in the lesson: 1. After dragging the small white circles (in this simulation, the indicator papers) onto each substance, what do you observe about the pH of each substance? 2. If you were to taste each substance (highly inadvisable in the chemistry laboratory!), how would you imagine they would taste? 3. Of the three substances, which would you characterize as acid? Which as basic? Which as neutral? Use the observed pH levels to support your hypotheses. Chemistry Time Properties of Acids and Bases Acids and bases are versatile and useful materials in many chemical reactions.

Two Types of Acids and Bases: a. Brönstead acids and bases contain H + and OH - HCl ↔ H + + + Cl- (acid) NaOH ↔ Na + + OH - (base). + - water is acid and base simultaneously, H 2O ↔ H + OH . pure water and acid neutral aqueous solutions have equal amounts of H + and OH -. b. Lewis acids and bases Brönstead acids can be thought of as electron deficient ions and bases as electron excessive ions , which provides a different perspective on acidity/basisity that we can extend to other (non protic and non hydroxyl) compounds. We call this the Lewis acid/base concept.

  • General Chemistry/Properties and Theories of Acids and Bases 1 General Chemistry/Properties and Theories of Acids and Bases
    General Chemistry/Properties and Theories of Acids and Bases 1 General Chemistry/Properties and Theories of Acids and Bases Acid-Base Reaction Theories Acids and bases are everywhere. Some foods contain acid, like the citric acid in lemons and the lactic acid in dairy. Cleaning products like bleach and ammonia are bases. Chemicals that are acidic or basic are an important part of chemistry. Helpful Hint! You may need to refresh your memory on naming acids. Several different theories explain what composes an acid and a base. The first scientific definition of an acid was proposed by the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in the eighteenth century. He proposed that acids contained oxygen, although he did not know the dual composition of acids such as hydrochloric acid (HCl). Over the years, much more accurate definitions of acids and bases have been created. Arrhenius Theory The Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius published his theory of acids and bases in 1887. It can be simply explained by these two points: Arrhenius Acids and Bases 1. An acid is a substance which dissociates in water to produce one or more hydrogen ions (H+). 2. A base is a substance which dissociates in water to produce one or more hydroxide ions (OH-). Based on this definition, you can see that Arrhenius acids must be soluble in water. Arrhenius acid-base reactions can be summarized with three generic equations: Svante Arrhenius General Chemistry/Properties and Theories of Acids and Bases 2 An acid will dissociate in water producing hydrogen ions. A base (usually containing a metal) will dissociate in water to product hydroxide ions.

Kingsbury Department of Chemistry University of Nebraska Lincoln, NE 68588-0304 Email: [email protected] Abstract: The subtle difference between the successive polarization model and the flow of electrons through sigma bonds is explored, as well as the alternating charge model of Pople and the pervasive field model. The present paper is concerned with the ability of alkyl groups to serve as sigma inductive electron donors. The “inductive effect” remains an icon of chemical education and chemical thought. It is appreciated by students as a concept easily grasped, and it is a concept that is well liked by instructors as easy and rapid to present. However, the history of the “inductive effect,” in its various incarnations is hardly as smooth as these complacent attitudes might suggest.

  • Carboxylic Acids
    CARBOXYLIC ACIDS 1 Carboxylic Acids Introduction Carboxylic acids are organic compounds containing the carboxyl group (-COOH), wherein the hydroxyl group (-OH) is directly attached to the carbonyl (C=O) group. Carboxylic acids constitute one of the most frequently encountered classes of organic compounds in nature. 2 Natural Carboxylic Acids A great many carboxylic acids are encountered in nature, mostly, in fruits. Indeed carboxylic acids were among the first class of organic compounds to ever be isolated from nature. Edible carboxylic acids found in citrous fruits and fermented milk generally have sharp flavours. 3 Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids The common names of some basic carboxylic acids are derived from Latin names that indicate the first original natural source of the carboxylic acid. Structure of Acid Natural Source Common Name O H C OH Ants (Formica) Formic acid O CH3 C OH Vinegar (Acetum) Acetic acid O CH3CH2 C OH Basic Fat (Propio) Propionic acid O CH3CH2CH2 C OH Rancid butter (Butyrum) Butyric acid Present in aValerian herb Valeric acid O 4 CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2 C OH Goat (Caper) Caproic acid Common Names of Carboxylic Acids The common name of a carboxylic acid (R-COOH) is derived by adding the suffix –ic acid to a prefix representing the chain length of the carboxylic acid. # of Carbons Prefix Common Name of Acid 1 Form- Formic acid 2 Acet- Acetic acid 3 Propion- Propionic acid 4 Butyr- Butyric acid 5 Valer- Valeric acid 6 Capro- Caproic acid Aromatic acid Benzo- Benzoic acid 5 IUPAC Nomenclature of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids IUPAC names of straight chain aliphatic carboxylic acids are derived by adding the suffix –oic acid to the systematic name of the parent hydrocarbon.

  • Principles of Drug Action 1, Spring 2005, Resonance and Induction
    Principles Of Drug Action 1, Spring 2005, Resonance and Induction RESONANCE AND INDUCTION TUTORIAL Jack DeRuiter The terms "resonance" and "induction" refer to the electronic effects that atoms or functional groups may have within a compound. These effects are defined below and are dependent on the valence, bonding order and electronegativity of atoms, as well as the molecular geometry. Thus it is important that you understand these concepts prior to reviewing this tutorial. I. INDUCTION Induction or the inductive effect of an atom or functional group is a function of that groups 1). electronegativity, 2). bonding order and charge and 3). position within a structure. Inductive effects refer to those electronic effects of an atom or functional group can contribute through single bonds such as saturated (sp3) carbon atoms! This is very different from resonance effects discussed later in this section. The contribution of electronegativity, bonding order and position toward induction is as follows: Electronegativity: Atoms or functional groups that are electronegative relative to hydrogen such as the halogens, oxygen, nitrogen, etc. may have a negative inductive effect (-I), depending on their bonding order (see the Table below). Thus these atoms withdraw electron density through the single bond structure of a compound and can assist in the stabilization of negative charge that may form in reactions. One such reaction where -I groups can have a stabilizing (enhancing) effect is the ionization of acids. Consider the case of acetic acid, chloroacetic acid and trichloroacetic acid shown below. All three of these compounds can ionize (loss of proton from the carboxyl OH).

  • Electronic Effects-I Inductive Effect If a Covalent Bond Is Formed Between
    Electronic Effects-I Inductive Effect If a covalent bond is formed between atoms having similar electronegativity, the bonding electrons will be shared equally between the two atoms. For example, in hydrogen molecule, the two hydrogen atoms have identical electronegativities. Therefore, the electron pair is shared equally between the two hydrogen atoms and so the molecular orbital (σ-bond) will be symmetrically distributed. Similarly, if we consider a chlorine molecule, the molecular orbital (σ- bond) formed between the two identical chlorine atoms is symmetrically distributed. This type of bond is called a non-polar covalent bond. When an electron-releasing or an electron- withdrawing species is introduced to a chain of atoms (generally a carbon chain), the corresponding negative or positive charge is relayed through the carbon chain by the atoms belonging to it. This causes a permanent dipole to arise in the molecule and is referred to as the inductive effect 1 H-Cl However, if we consider a hydrogen chloride molecule, the electron pair is not equally shared between hydrogen and chlorine because chlorine has a greater electronegativity than hydrogen. Therefore, the electron pair shifts towards the more electronegative atom. This causes polarization in the bond in which the more electronegative atom chlorine acquires a partial negative charge. This type of bond in which unequal sharing of electron pair between two atoms of different electronegativities are involved is called a polar covalent bond. The atom which has a greater share of the paired electrons is given a symbol δ- and the atom with a smaller share is given a symbol δ+.
