1.6: molecular orbital theorywoensdag 16 juni 2021 15:30
o Molecular orbital: describes the volume of space around an molecule in which an electron is
likely to be found
o Bond length: the length of a bond
o Bond dissociation energy: energy required to brake a bond ( is equal to the energy released
when a bond is formed
o Sigma bond: bond between 2 s orbitals
o Bonding orbitals: are formed when the waves of the atomic orbitals enhance each other
o Anti-bonding orbitals: are formed when the waves of the atomic orbitals cancel each other out
(is higher in energy)
o Pi bond: the side to side overlap of 2 p orbitals causes a pi bond
o VSEPR: valance-shell-electron-pair repulsion model: a model predicting molecular geometry
based on the minimalization of electron repulsion between regions of electron density around
an atom

,1.7 how single bonds are formed in organic compounds
woensdag 16 juni 2021 15:37
Carbon can form bonds, because the 3 of the four electrons can promote from the s orbital to the P
orbital, thus creating 4 atomic orbitals that can be used for bonding. Since the chances of promoting
is equal for all electrons all electrons form SP3 orbitals which follow 25% s character and 75% p
character. These orbitals are more stable than p orbitals but less stable than s orbitals. Carbons with
sp3 hybridisation will form a tetrahedral structure

,1.15 Summary: hybridization, bond lengths, bond
strengths and bond angles
woensdag 16 juni 2021 15:45
Bond order: describes the number of covalent bonds shared by 2 atoms,
○ Single bond: bond order = 1
○ Double bond: bond order = 2
○ Triple bond: bond order =3
Hybridization: can be determined by the number of pi bonds
○ Sp3=0 pi bonds
○ Sp2= 1 pi bond
○ Sp = 2 pi bonds
With exception of carbocations and carbon radicals which are sp2 hybridised because they
form a pi bond but because have an empty or partially filled p orbital
The shorter the bond the stronger it is, the more pi orbitals between carbond the shorter the
bond
C-H bonds are shorter than C-C bonds
The more a molecule is hybradized the weaker the bonds, because the orbitals have more p
character which increases bond lenghth, it also increases bond angles.

, 2.6: how the structure of an acid affects its pKa value
woensdag 16 juni 2021 15:55
The more electronegative the atom attached to an H+ the more acidic it becomes, because the
conjugate base is more stable (and thus a weaker base)
CH4<NH3<H2O<HF
Hybridization decreases the electronegativity of an atom and this reduces the acidity
HCCH > H2CCH2 > H3CCH3
The larger an atom the easier it can bare an negative charge. Hence moving down a column in the
periodic table will give you stronger acids.
HF < HCl < HBr < HI
