2.1 Polar Covalent Bonds: 2.1 Polar Covalent Bonds: ElectronegativityElectronegativity
Covalent bonds can have ionic characterThese are polar covalent bonds
◦ Bonding electrons attracted more strongly by one atom than by the other
◦ Electron distribution between atoms is not symmetrical
3
Bond Polarity and ElectronegativityBond Polarity and Electronegativity
Electronegativity (EN): intrinsic ability of an atom to attract the shared electrons in a covalent bond
Differences in EN produce bond polarityArbitrary scale. As shown in Figure 2.2,
electronegativities are based on an arbitrary scale
F is most electronegative (EN = 4.0), Cs is least (EN = 0.7)
Metals on left side of periodic table attract electrons weakly, lower EN
Halogens and other reactive nonmetals on right side of periodic table attract electrons strongly, higher electronegativities
EN of C = 2.5

2.2 Polar Covalent Bonds: Dipole Moments2.2 Polar Covalent Bonds: Dipole Moments Molecules as a whole are often polar from vector summation of individual
bond polarities and lone-pair contributions Strongly polar substances soluble in polar solvents like water; nonpolar
substances are insoluble in water. Dipole moment () - Net molecular polarity, due to difference in
summed charges◦ - magnitude of charge Q at end of molecular dipole times distance r
between charges = Q r, in debyes (D), 1 D = 3.336 1030 coulomb meter length of an average covalent bond, the dipole moment would be 1.60 1029

2.3 Formal Charges2.3 Formal Charges Sometimes it is necessary to have structures with formal
charges on individual atoms We compare the bonding of the atom in the molecule to
the valence electron structure If the atom has one more electron in the molecule, it is
shown with a “-” charge If the atom has one less electron, it is shown with a “+”
charge Neutral molecules with both a “+” and a “-” are dipolar
26
• Atomic sulfur has 6 valence electrons.
Dimethyl suloxide sulfur has only 5.
• It has lost an electron and has positive charge.
• Oxygen atom in DMSO has gained electron and has (-) charge.

2.4 Resonance2.4 Resonance Some molecules are have structures that cannot be
shown with a single representation In these cases we draw structures that contribute to the
final structure but which differ in the position of the bond(s) or lone pair(s)
Such a structure is delocalized and is represented by resonance forms
The resonance forms are connected by a double-headed arrow
31
Resonance HybridsResonance Hybrids A structure with resonance forms does not alternate
between the forms Instead, it is a hybrid of the two resonance forms, so the
structure is called a resonance hybrid For example, benzene (C6H6) has two resonance forms with
alternating double and single bonds◦ In the resonance hybrid, the actual structure, all its C-C
bonds are equivalent, midway between double and single
32
2.5 Rules for Resonance Forms2.5 Rules for Resonance Forms Individual resonance forms are imaginary -
the real structure is a hybrid (only by knowing the contributors can you visualize the actual structure)
Resonance forms differ only in the placement of their or nonbonding electrons
Different resonance forms of a substance don’t have to be equivalent
Resonance forms must be valid Lewis structures: the octet rule applies
The resonance hybrid is more stable than any individual resonance form would be
33
Curved Arrows and Resonance FormsCurved Arrows and Resonance FormsWe can imagine that electrons move in pairs to
convert from one resonance form to anotherA curved arrow shows that a pair of electrons
moves from the atom or bond at the tail of the arrow to the atom or bond at the head of the arrow
34
2.6 Drawing Resonance Forms2.6 Drawing Resonance Forms
Any three-atom grouping with a multiple bond has two resonance forms
35
Different Atoms in Resonance FormsDifferent Atoms in Resonance Forms Sometimes resonance forms involve different atom types
as well as locations The resulting resonance hybrid has properties associated
with both types of contributors The types may contribute unequally The “enolate” derived from acetone is a good illustration,
with delocalization between carbon and oxygen

2.7 Acids and Bases: The Brønsted–2.7 Acids and Bases: The Brønsted–Lowry DefinitionLowry Definition
The terms “acid” and “base” can have different meanings in different contexts
For that reason, we specify the usage with more complete terminology
The idea that acids are solutions containing a lot of “H+” and bases are solutions containing a lot of “OH-” is not very useful in organic chemistry
Instead, Brønsted–Lowry theory defines acids and bases by their role in reactions that transfer protons (H+) between donors and acceptors
Bronsted-Lowry theoryBronsted-Lowry theoryAcidAcid =
a Proton donor donates a proton, H+, to solvent
Example: HClHCl
HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl- hydronium ion
Example: HNO3
HNO3 is the acid: it donates the proton.

Brønsted Acids and BasesBrønsted Acids and Bases“Brønsted-Lowry” is usually
shortened to “Brønsted”A Brønsted acid is a substance
that donates a hydrogen ion (H+)A Brønsted base is a substance
that accepts the H+
◦ “proton” is a synonym for H+ - loss of an electron from H leaving the bare nucleus—a proton
59
The Reaction of Acid with BaseThe Reaction of Acid with Base Hydronium ion, product when base H2O gains a proton HCl donates a proton to water molecule, yielding hydronium
ion (H3O+) [conjugate acid] and Cl [conjugate base] The reverse is also a Brønsted acid–base reaction of the
conjugate acid and conjugate base
60
2.8 Acid and Base Strength2.8 Acid and Base Strength
The equilibrium constant (Keq) for the reaction of an acid (HA) with water to form hydronium ion and the conjugate base (A-) is a measure related to the strength of the acid
Stronger acids have larger Keq
Note that brackets [ ] indicate concentration, moles per liter, M.
61
KKaa – the Acidity Constant – the Acidity Constant The concentration of water as a solvent does not change
significantly when it is protonated The molecular weight of H2O is 18 and one liter weighs 1000
grams, so the concentration is ~ 55.4 M at 25° The acidity constant, Ka for HA Keq times 55.6 M (leaving
[water] out of the expression) Ka ranges from 1015 for the strongest acids to very small values
(10-60) for the weakest
62
63
ppKKaa – the Acid Strength Scale – the Acid Strength Scale
pKa = -log Ka
The free energy in an equilibrium is related to –log of Keq (G = -RT log Keq)
A smaller value of pKa indicates a stronger acid and is proportional to the energy difference between products and reactants
The pKa of water is 15.74
64
2.9 Predicting Acid–Base Reactions 2.9 Predicting Acid–Base Reactions from pfrom pKKaa Values Values
pKa values are related as logarithms to equilibrium constants Useful for predicting whether a given acid-base reaction will
take place The difference in two pKa values is the log of the ratio of
equilibrium constants, and can be used to calculate the extent of transfer
The stronger base holds the proton more tightly
65
2.10 Organic Acids and Organic Bases2.10 Organic Acids and Organic Bases Organic Acids:- characterized by the presence of
positively polarized hydrogen atom
66
Organic AcidsOrganic AcidsThose that lose a proton from O–H, such as
methanol and acetic acidThose that lose a proton from C–H, usually from a
carbon atom next to a C=O double bond (O=C–C–H)
67
Organic BasesOrganic BasesHave an atom with a lone pair of electrons that can
bond to H+
Nitrogen-containing compounds derived from ammonia are the most common organic bases
Oxygen-containing compounds can react as bases when with a strong acid or as acids with strong bases
68
2.11 Acids and Bases: The Lewis Definition2.11 Acids and Bases: The Lewis Definition
Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors and Lewis bases are electron pair donors
Brønsted acids are not Lewis acids because they cannot accept an electron pair directly (only a proton would be a Lewis acid)
The Lewis definition leads to a general description of many reaction patterns but there is no scale of strengths as in the Brønsted definition of pKa
69
Lewis Acids and the Curved Arrow Lewis Acids and the Curved Arrow FormalismFormalism
The Lewis definition of acidity includes metal cations, such as Mg2+
◦ They accept a pair of electrons when they form a bond to a base
Group 3A elements, such as BF3 and AlCl3, are Lewis acids because they have unfilled valence orbitals and can accept electron pairs from Lewis bases
Transition-metal compounds, such as TiCl4, FeCl3, ZnCl2, and SnCl4, are Lewis acids
Organic compounds that undergo addition reactions with Lewis bases (discussed later) are called electrophiles and therefore Lewis Acids
The combination of a Lewis acid and a Lewis base can shown with a curved arrow from base to acid
70

71
Lewis BasesLewis Bases Lewis bases can accept protons as well as Lewis acids,
therefore the definition encompasses that for Brønsted bases Most oxygen- and nitrogen-containing organic compounds
are Lewis bases because they have lone pairs of electrons Some compounds can act as both acids and bases,
depending on the reaction

SummarySummaryOrganic molecules often have polar covalent
bonds as a result of unsymmetrical electron sharing caused by differences in the electronegativity of atoms
The polarity of a molecule is measured by its dipole moment, .

Summary (cont’d)Summary (cont’d)A Lewis acid has an empty orbital that can
accept an electron pairA Lewis base can donate an unshared
electron pair In condensed structures C-C and C-H are
impliedSkeletal structures show bonds and not C
or H (C is shown as a junction of two lines) – other atoms are shown
Molecular models are useful for representing structures for study
Noncovalent interactions have several types: dipole-dipole, dispersion, and hydrogen bond forces
