Goals of the course:
1. Structure of organic molecules, relation of
structure to reactivity
2. Organic reaction patterns
3. Mechanism of reactions
4. Synthesis of organic compounds
5. Techniques of the trade
Scaling of Raw Grades for Recitation and Lab
1. Omit the student, B,
that dropped the course.
2. Get the average to
75
Multiply these sums by
4.9342
or
Note that student D
was absent from two
labs and will be low for
that reason. We will
deal with D later.
Multiply these sums by
0.49342
In both cases get the
same result…….
Now we have to spread the grades out so that there is a reasonable distribution
about the desired average of 75. This is done by expanding or contracting the set
of grades around the average so that the maximum turns out to be 95.
Now for the student D who is outside of the desirable limits (50 – 95). We
move his raw grade up to 70 so that D does not skew the scaling process. D
receives a scaled grade of about 51.
Atomic Structure
Electrons occupy orbitals which are grouped into subshells
and then shells.

Nitrogen: 1s22s22p3

formation

The pairing of electron spins
Electron Configuration of Atoms
• Pauli Exclusion Principle:
– No more than two electrons may be present in an
orbital. If two electrons are present, their spins must
be paired.
• Hund’s Rule:
– When orbitals of equal energy are available but there
are not enough electrons to fill all of them, one
electron is added to each orbital before a second
electron is added to any one of them; the spins of the
electrons in degenerate orbitals should be aligned.
• Aufbau (“Build-Up”) Principle:
– Orbitals fill in order of increasing energy from lowest
energy to highest energy.
Atomic Structure
•1 shell consists of
•1s subshell holding the
•1s orbital
•2 shell consists of
•2s subshell holding the
•2s orbital and the
•2p subshell holding the
•2px,
•2py, and
•2pz orbitals.
s orbital
p orbital
Each orbital can
hold two electrons.
An orbital can be
•an atomic orbital (on an atom) or
•a molecular orbital (on a molecule)
Octet Rule, Lewis Structures
Electrons are stabilized by bond formation.
H atom can stabilize up to two electrons in
the valence shell.
CF can stabilize up to 8 electrons in the
valence shell.
Complete octet: two electrons around H;
eight electrons for C  F in the valence
shell. Now we are providing maximum
stabilization.
Electron Configuration of Atoms
Completing the Octet
Ionic Bonding: Electrons can be transferred
to an atom to produce an anion and
“complete the octet”.
Covalent Bonding: Electrons can be shared
between atoms providing additional
stabilization. The shared electrons
typically “complete the octet” for each
atom.
Number of Bonds
Define: Unused stabilization of atom = (number of electrons that
can be held in valence shell) – (number of electrons already
present)
Neutral atoms
Some positive ions
Some negative ions
H: 1 more electron
H+ 2 more
H- 0 more
C: 4 more
C2+ 6 more
C- 3 more
N: 3 more
N+ 4 more
N- 2 more
O: 2 more
O+ 3 more
O- 1 more
F: 1 more
F+ 2 more
F- 0 more
Bonds make use of the unused stabilizing capability of the atoms.
# Bonds in molecule= (Sum of unused stabilizing capability)/2
Formal Charge: the charge an atom
in a Lewis bonding diagram.
Recipe to calculate the Formal Charges.
Assign each valence shell electron to an atom:
– Non-bonding electrons are assigned to the atom on
which they reside.
– Bonding electrons are divided equally between the
atoms of the bond.
Formal charge = (# valence shell electrons in neutral atom)
- (# nonbonding electrons)
- ½ (# bonded electrons)

# bonds = ½ (4 + 2 *1 + 2*3) = ½ x 12

# electrons present = 4 + 2*1 + 2*5 = 16
# bonding electrons = 12
# non-bonding electrons = 16 – 12 = 4 =

Which of these two structures is more important? Which provides the better description?

Curved Arrows to Reposition Electrons
Curved arrows are the standard way of showing
electron reorganizations, repositioning of lone pairs
and bonds.
Transforms the lone pair into a bonding pair. Still
counts towards terminal N but also towards middle
N. Too many electrons around middle N.

Bonding pair must retreat from the middle N and become
a lone pair on the C.
Some principals of using curved arrows.
•Reactions: Restructure the molecular system, creating bonds between
unbonded atoms.
•Resonance: Moving pi bonds and lone pairs but leaving single bond
framework intact.
An overly simplified presentation involves simply the motion shown below and
its reverse.
A
B
A
B
A lone pair on B is converted to bonding electrons.
What happens at B: The octet count at B is not changed but it does become more
positive by 1. The actual charge depends on the initial charge.
What happens at A: Two more electrons are added to the octet count of A. We
cannot exceed the octet count of 8.
•If A originally had an octet count of only 6 then we have simply completed the octet.
•If the octet of A was originally complete at 8 then we must withdraw some other pi
electrons from A to make room for the newly formed bond. A becomes more negative
by 1.
Now for its reverse
The reverse motion, conversion of bond into a lone pair, is shown below.
A
B
A
B
Here we convert a pi bond to a lone pair.
What happens at B: The pi electrons move away from B and no
longer count towards either the octet of B or its formal charge. B
becomes more positive by 1 and no longer satisfies the octet rule
(electron deficient).
What happens at A: The octet count is not changed at A but A does
become more negative by 1.

as shown below.

Each structure obeys the octet rule (provides maximum stabilization
by bonding). The structure on the right is less stable because of the
charges that are present.
The problem is how to smoothly interconvert one to the other.
We have to make room for the
incoming electrons by retreating
the pi electrons of the CO
double bond onto the O.

This means S would have to use the 3d shell orbitals.

we must prioritize. Highest priority determines
suffix. The rest ( alcohol, aldehyde, ketone,

Nature of Chemical Bonds
So far, we have the octet rule which tells us
how many bonds we can make. But how
do we understand the nature of the
bonds?
Three models for bonding: ionic, valence
bond, molecular orbitals.
Ionic Bonding
Requires very different electronegativities to
make the complete transfer of electrons worthwhile.
Not discussed further although it occurs in salts
of organic acids. For example sodium acetate.
Quantum or Wave Mechanics
• Albert Einstein: E = hn (energy is quantized)
– light has particle properties.
• Erwin Schrödinger: wave equation
– wave function, : A solution to a set of equations that
depicts the energy of an electron in an atom.
– each wave function is associated with a unique set of
quantum numbers.
– each wave function represents a region of threedimensional space and is called an orbital.
–  2 is the probability of finding an electron at a given
point in space.
Quantum or Wave Mechanics
• Characteristics of a wave associated with
a moving particle. Wavelength is
designated by the symbol l .
Quantum or Wave Mechanics
• When we describe orbital interactions, we are referring
to interactions of waves. Waves interact
– constructively or
– destructively.
• When two waves overlap, if they are of the same sign
then they combine constructively, build-up. Opposite
sign overlap combines destructively, meaning they
cancel.

Molecular Orbital Theory
• MO theory begins with the hypothesis that
– electrons in atoms exist in atomic orbitals
and
– electrons in molecules exist in molecular
orbitals.
Molecular Orbital Theory
• Rules:
– Combination of n atomic orbitals (mathematically
adding and subtracting wave functions) gives n MOs
(new wave functions).
– MOs are arranged in order of increasing energy.
– MO filling is governed by the same rules as for atomic
orbitals:
• Aufbau principle: fill beginning with lowest
energy orbital
• Pauli exclusion principle: no more than 2e- in a
MO
• Hund’s rule: when two or more MOs of
equivalent energy (degenerate) are available,
add 1e- to each before filling any one of them
with 2e-.
Molecular Orbital Theory
• MOs derived from combination by (a) addition and (b)
subtraction of two 1s atomic orbitals.
Covalent Bonding
• Bonding molecular orbital: A MO in which
electrons have a lower energy than they
would have in isolated atomic orbitals.
• Sigma (s) bonding molecular orbital: A MO
in which electron density is concentrated
between two nuclei along the axis joining
them and is cylindrically symmetrical.
Covalent Bonding
• A MO energy diagram for H2. (a) Ground
state and (b) lowest excited state.
Covalent Bonding
• Antibonding MO: A MO in which electrons
have a higher energy than they would in
isolated atomic orbitals.
VB: sp3 Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals
Energy
– The number of hybrid orbitals formed is equal to the
number of atomic orbitals combined.
– Elements of the 2nd period form three types of hybrid
orbitals, designated sp3, sp2, and sp.
– The mathematical combination of one 2s atomic
orbital and three 2p atomic orbitals forms four
equivalent sp3 hybrid orbitals.

VB: sp Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals

Combining VB & MO Theories
• VB theory views bonding as arising from electron pairs
localized between adjacent atoms. These pairs create
bonds.
• Further, organic chemists commonly use atomic orbitals
involved in three hybridization states of atoms (sp3, sp2,
and 2p) to create orbitals to match the experimentally
observed geometries.
• How do we make orbitals that contain electrons that
reside between adjacent atoms? For this, we turn back
to MO theory.
Combining VB & MO Theories
• To create orbitals that are localized between adjacent
atoms, we add and subtract the atomic and hybrid
orbitals on the adjacent atoms, which are aligned to
overlap with each other.
• Consider methane, CH4. The sp3 hybrid orbitals of
carbon each point to a 1s orbital of hydrogen and,
therefore, we add and subtract these atomic orbitals
to create molecular orbitals.
• As with H2, one resulting MO is lower in energy than the
separated atomic orbitals, and is called a bonding s
orbital. The other is higher in energy and is antibonding.
Combining VB & MO Theories
• Molecular orbital mixing diagram for creation of a C-C s
bond.
Combining VB & MO Theories
• A double bond uses sp2 hybridization.
• Consider ethylene, C2H4. Carbon (and other secondperiod elements) use a combination of sp2 hybrid orbitals
and the unhybridized 2p orbital to form double bonds.
• Now the atomic and hybrid orbitals before mixing into
MOs.

overlap of parallel 2p
atomic orbitals.
