2.1 Polar Covalent Bonds:
Electronegativity
īŽ Covalent bonds can have ionic character
īŽ These are polar covalent bonds
īŽ Bonding electrons attracted more strongly by one
atom than by the other
īŽ Electron distribution between atoms in not
symmetrical

Bond Polarity and Electronegativity
īŽ Electronegativity (EN): intrinsic ability of an atom to
attract the shared electrons in a covalent bond
īŽ Differences in EN produce bond polarity
īŽ Arbitrary scale. As shown in Figure 2.2,
electronegativities are based on an arbitrary scale
īŽ F is most electronegative (EN = 4.0), Cs is least (EN
= 0.7)
īŽ Metals on left side of periodic table attract electrons
weakly, lower EN
īŽ Halogens and other reactive nonmetals on right side
of periodic table attract electrons strongly, higher
electronegativities
īŽ EN of C = 2.5

Bond Polarity and Inductive Effect
īŽ Nonpolar Covalent Bonds: atoms with similar EN
īŽ Polar Covalent Bonds: Difference in EN of atoms < 2
īŽ Ionic Bonds: Difference in EN > 2
īŽ CâH bonds, relatively nonpolar C-O, C-X bonds
(more electronegative elements) are polar
īŽ Bonding electrons toward electronegative atom
īŽ C acquires partial positive charge, δ+
īŽ Electronegative atom acquires partial negative
charge, δ-
īŽ Inductive effect: shifting of electrons in a bond in
response to EN of nearby atoms

2.2 Polar Covalent Bonds: Dipole
Moments
īŽ Molecules as a whole are often polar :from vector summation of
individual bond polarities and lone-pair contributions
īŽ Strongly polar substances soluble in polar solvents like water;
nonpolar substances are insoluble in water.
īŽ Dipole moment - Net molecular polarity, due to difference in summed
charges
īŽ Âĩ - magnitude of charge Q at end of molecular dipole times
distance r between charges
īŽ Âĩ = Q Ã r, in debyes (D), 1 D = 3.336 Ã 10â30
coulomb meter
īŽ length of an average covalent bond), the dipole moment would be
1.60 Ã 10â29 Câ m, or 4.80 D.

Dipole Moments in Water and
Ammonia
īŽ Large dipole moments
īŽ EN of O and N > H
īŽ Both O and N have lone-pair electrons oriented away
from all nuclei

Absence of Dipole Moments
īŽ In symmetrical molecules, the dipole moments of
each bond has one in the opposite direction
īŽ The effects of the local dipoles cancel each other

2.3 Formal Charges
īŽ Sometimes it is necessary
to have structures with
formal charges on
individual atoms
īŽ We compare the bonding of
the atom in the molecule to
the valence electron
structure
īŽ If the atom has one more
electron in the molecule, it
is shown with a â-â charge
īŽ If the atom has one less
electron, it is shown with a
â+â charge
īŽ Neutral molecules with both
a â+â and a â-â are dipolar
11. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2

2.4 Resonance
īŽ Some molecules are have structures that cannot be shown with
a single representation
īŽ In these cases we draw structures that contribute to the final
structure but which differ in the position of the Ī bond(s) or lone
pair(s)
īŽ Such a structure is delocalized and to is represented by
resonance forms
īŽ The resonance forms are connected by a double-headed arrow
12. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2
(c) 2003
12
Resonance Hybrids
īŽ A structure with resonance forms does not alternate between
the forms
īŽ Instead, it is a hybrid of the two resonance forms, so the
structure is called a resonance hybrid
īŽ For example, benzene (C6H6) has two resonance forms with
alternating double and single bonds
īŽ In the resonance hybrid, the actual structure, all its C-C
bonds equivalent, midway between double and single
13. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2

13
2.5 Rules for Resonance Forms
īŽ Individual resonance forms are imaginary - the real
structure is a hybrid (only by knowing the contributors
can you visualize the actual structure)
īŽ Resonance forms differ only in the placement of their
Ī or nonbonding electrons
īŽ Different resonance forms of a substance donât have
to be equivalent
īŽ Resonance forms must be valid Lewis structures: the
octet rule applies
īŽ The resonance hybrid is more stable than any
individual resonance form would be
14. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2
(c) 2003
14
Curved Arrows and Resonance Forms
īŽ We can imagine that electrons move in pairs to
convert from one resonance form to another
īŽ A 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
15. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2

2.6 Drawing Resonance Forms
īŽ Any three-atom grouping with a multiple bond
has two resonance forms
16. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2
(c) 2003
16
Different Atoms in Resonance Forms
īŽ Sometimes resonance forms involve different atom types as
well as locations
īŽ The resulting resonance hybrid has properties associated with
both types of contributors
īŽ The types may contribute unequally
īŽ The âenolateâ derived from acetone is a good illustration, with
delocalization between carbon and oxygen

2,4-Pentanedione
īŽ The anion derived from 2,4-pentanedione
īŽ Lone pair of electrons and a formal negative
charge on the central carbon atom, next to a
C=O bond on the left and on the right
īŽ Three resonance structures result

2.7 Acids and Bases: The Brønstedâ
Lowry Definition
īŽ The terms âacidâ and âbaseâ can have different
meanings in different contexts
īŽ For that reason, we specify the usage with more
complete terminology
īŽ The idea that acids are solutions containing a lot of
âH+
â and bases are solutions containing a lot of âOH-
â
is not very useful in organic chemistry
īŽ Instead, BrønstedâLowry theory defines acids and
bases by their role in reactions that transfer protons
(H+
) between donors and acceptors
19. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2
(c) 2003
19
Brønsted Acids and Bases
īŽ âBrønsted-Lowryâ is usually shortened to
âBrønstedâ
īŽ A Brønsted acid is a substance that donates
a hydrogen ion (H+
)
īŽ A Brønsted base is a substance that accepts
the H+
īŽ âprotonâ is a synonym for H+
- loss of an
electron from H leaving the bare nucleusâa
proton
20. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2
(c) 2003
20
The Reaction of HCl with H2O
īŽ When HCl gas dissolves in water, a Brønsted acidâbase
reaction occurs
īŽ HCl donates a proton to water molecule, yielding hydronium ion
(H3O+
) and Clâ
īŽ The reverse is also a Brønsted acidâbase reaction of the
conjugate acid and conjugate base
Acids are shown in red, bases in blue. Curved arrows go from
bases to acids
21. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2
(c) 2003
21
Quantitative Measures of Acid
Strength
īŽ The equilibrium constant (Ke) 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
īŽ Stronger acids have larger Ke
īŽ Note that brackets [ ] indicate concentration, moles
per liter, M.
22. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2
(c) 2003
22
Ka â the Acidity Constant
īŽ The concentration of water as a solvent does not change
significantly when it is protonated
īŽ The molecular weight of H2O is 18 and one liter weighs 1000
grams, so the concentration is ~ 55.6 M at 25°
īŽ The acidity constant, Ka for HA Ke times 55.6 M (leaving [water]
out of the expression)
īŽ Ka ranges from 1015
for the strongest acids to very small values
(10-60
) for the weakest
23. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2
(c) 2003
23
2.8 Acid and Base Strength
īŽ The âabilityâ of a Brønsted acid to donate a
proton to is sometimes referred to as the
strength of the acid (imagine that it is
throwing the proton â stronger acids throw it
harder)
īŽ The strength of the acid is measured with
respect to the Brønsted base that receives
the proton
īŽ Water is used as a common base for the
purpose of creating a scale of Brønsted acid
strength
24. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2
(c) 2003
24
pKa â the Acid Strength Scale
īŽ pKa = -log Ka
īŽ The free energy in an equilibrium is related to âlog of
Keq (âG = -RT log Keq)
īŽ A larger value of pKa indicates a stronger acid and is
proportional to the energy difference between
products and reactants
īŽ The pKa of water is 15.74
25. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2
(c) 2003
25
2.9 Predicting AcidâBase Reactions
from pKa Values
īŽ pKa values are related as logarithms to equilibrium
constants
īŽ 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
īŽ The weaker base holds the proton more tightly
26. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2
(c) 2003
26
2.10 Organic Acids and Organic Bases
īŽ The reaction patterns of organic compounds
often are acid-base combinations
īŽ The transfer of a proton from a strong
Brønsted acid to a Brønsted base, for
example, is a very fast process and will
always occur along with other reactions
27. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2
(c) 2003
27
Organic Acids
īŽ Those that lose a proton from OâH, such as
methanol and acetic acid
īŽ Those that lose a proton from CâH, usually from a
carbon atom next to a C=O double bond (O=CâCâH)
28. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2
(c) 2003
28
Organic Bases
īŽ Have an atom with a lone pair of electrons that can
bond to H+
īŽ Nitrogen-containing compounds derived from
ammonia are the most common organic bases
īŽ Oxygen-containing compounds can react as bases
when with a strong acid or as acids with strong bases

2.11 Acids and Bases: The Lewis
Definition
īŽ Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors and Lewis
bases are electron pair donors
īŽ Brønsted acids are not Lewis acids because they
cannot accept an electron pair directly (only a proton
would be a Lewis acid)
īŽ 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

30
Lewis Acids and the Curved Arrow
Formalism
īŽ The Lewis definition of acidity includes metal cations, such as
Mg2+
īŽ They accept a pair of electrons when they form a bond to a
base
īŽ 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
īŽ Transition-metal compounds, such as TiCl4, FeCl3, ZnCl2, and
SnCl4, are Lewis acids
īŽ Organic compounds that undergo addition reactions with Lewis
bases (discussed later) are called electrophiles and therefore
Lewis Acids
īŽ The combination of a Lewis acid and a Lewis base can shown
with a curved arrow from base to acid

(c) 2003
32
Lewis Bases
īŽ Lewis bases can accept protons as well as Lewis acids,
therefore the definition encompasses that for Brønsted bases
īŽ Most oxygen- and nitrogen-containing organic compounds are
Lewis bases because they have lone pairs of electrons
īŽ Some compounds can act as both acids and bases, depending
on the reaction

2.12 Drawing Chemical Structures
īŽ Chemists use shorthand ways for writing structures
īŽ Condensed structures: C-H and C-C and single bonds aren't shown
but understood
īŽ If C has 3 Hâs bonded to it, write CH3
īŽ If C has 2 Hâs bonded to it, write CH2; and so on. The compound called
2-methylbutane, for example, is written as follows:
īŽ Horizontal bonds between carbons aren't shown in condensed
structuresâthe CH3, CH2, and CH units are simply but vertical bonds
are added for clarity
34. McMurry Organic Chemistry 6th edition Chapter 2

Skeletal Structures
īŽ Minimum amount of information but
unambiguous
īŽ Câs not shown, assumed to be at each
intersection of two lines (bonds) and at end of
each line
īŽ Hâs bonded to Câs aren't shown â whatever
number is needed will be there
īŽ All atoms other than C and H are shown

2.13 Molecular Models
īŽ We often need to visualize the shape
or connections of a molecule in three
dimensions
īŽ Molecular models are three
dimensional objects, on a human
scale, that represent the aspects of
interest of the moleculeâs structure
(computer models also are possible)
īŽ Drawings on paper and screens are
limited in what they can present to you
īŽ Framework models (ball-and-stick) are
essential for seeing the relationships
within and between molecules â you
should own a set
īŽ Space-filling models are better for
examining the crowding within a
molecule Space-filling
Framework

Summary
īŽ Organic molecules often have polar covalent bonds as a result of
unsymmetrical electron sharing caused by differences in the electronegativity
of atoms
īŽ The polarity of a molecule is measured by its dipole moment, Âĩ.
īŽ (+) and (â) indicate formal charges on atoms in molecules to keep track of
valence electrons around an atom
īŽ Some substances must be shown as a resonance hybrid of two or more
resonance forms that differ by the location of electrons.
īŽ A Brønsted(âLowry) acid donatea a proton
īŽ A Brønsted(âLowry) base accepts a proton
īŽ The strength Brønsted acid is related to the -1 times the logarithm of the acidity
constant, pKa. Weaker acids have higher pKaâs
īŽ A Lewis acid has an empty orbital that can accept an electron pair
īŽ A Lewis base can donate an unshared electron pair
