We'll ease into the study of organic chemistry by first reviewing some ideas about atoms, bonds, and molecular geometry that you may recall from your general chemistry course. Much of the material in this chapter and the next is likely to be familiar to you, but it's nevertheless a good idea to make sure you understand it before moving on.\n\nWhat is organic chemistry, and why should you study it? The answers to these questions are all around you.\n\nEvery living organism is made of organic chemicals. The proteins that make up your hair, skin, and muscles; the DNA that controls your genetic heritage; the foods that nourish you; and the medicines that heal you are all organic chemicals. Anyone with a curiosity about life and living things, and anyone who wants to be a part of the remarkable advances taking place in medicine and the biological sciences, must first understand organic chemistry. Look at the following drawings for instance, which show the chemical structures of some molecules whose names might be familiar to you. Although the drawings may appear unintelligible at this point, don't worry. They'll make perfectly good sense before long, and you'll soon be drawing similar structures for any substance you're interested in.\n\n\nOxycodone (OxyContin)\n\n\nCholesterol\n\n\nBenzylpenicillin"} {"id": 2, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - \nOxycodone (OxyContin)\n\n\nCholesterol\n\n\nBenzylpenicillin\n\nHistorically, the term organic chemistry dates to the mid-1700s, when it was used to mean the chemistry of substances found in living organisms. Little was known about chemistry at that time, and the behavior of the \"organic\" substances isolated from plants and animals seemed different from that of the \"inorganic\" substances found in minerals. Organic compounds were generally low-melting solids and were usually more difficult to isolate, purify, and work with than high-melting inorganic compounds.\n\nBy the mid-1800s, however, it was clear that there was no fundamental difference between organic and inorganic compounds. The only distinguishing characteristic of organic compounds is that all contain the element carbon.\n\nOrganic chemistry, then, is the study of carbon compounds. But why is carbon special? Why, of the more than 197 million presently known chemical compounds, do almost all of them contain carbon? The answers to these questions come from carbon's electronic structure and its consequent position in the periodic table (FIGURE 1.2). As a group 4A element, carbon can share four valence electrons and form four strong covalent bonds. Furthermore, carbon atoms can bond to one another, forming long chains and rings. Carbon, alone of all elements, is able to form an immense diversity of compounds, from the simple methane, with one carbon atom, to the staggeringly complex DNA, which can have more than 100 million carbons."} {"id": 3, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - \n| Grou 1A | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 8A |\n| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |\n| H | 2A | | | | | | | | | | | 3A | 4A | 5A | 6A | 7A | He |\n| Li | Be | | | | | | | | | | | B | C | N | 0 | F | Ne |\n| Na | Mg | | | | | | | | | | | Al | Si | P | S | Cl | Ar |\n| K | Ca | Sc | Ti | V | Cr | Mn | Fe | Co | Ni | Cu | Zn | Ga | Ge | As | Se | Br | Kr |\n| Rb | Sr | Y | Zr | Nb | Mo | Tc | Ru | Rh | Pd | Ag | Cd | In | Sn | Sb | Te | I | Xe |\n| Cs | Ba | La | Hf | Ta | W | Re | Os | Ir | Pt | Au | Hg | TI | Pb | Bi | Po | At | Rn |\n| Fr | Ra | Ac | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |\n\nFIGURE 1.2 Carbon, hydrogen, and other elements commonly found in organic compounds are shown in the colors typically used to represent them.\n\nNot all carbon compounds are derived from living organisms, however.

Organic chemistry touches the lives of\neveryone. Its study can be a fascinating undertaking."} {"id": 4, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 1.1 Atomic Structure: The Nucleus\nAs you might remember from your general chemistry course, an atom consists of a dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded at a relatively large distance by negatively charged electrons (FIGURE 1.3). The nucleus consists of subatomic particles called neutrons, which are electrically neutral, and protons, which are positively charged. Because an atom is neutral overall, the number of positive protons in the nucleus and the number of negative electrons surrounding the nucleus are the same.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.3 A schematic view of an atom. The dense, positively charged nucleus contains most of the atom's mass and is surrounded by negatively charged electrons. The three-dimensional view on the right shows calculated electron-density surfaces. Electron density increases steadily toward the nucleus and is 40 times greater at the blue solid surface than at the gray mesh surface.\n\nAlthough extremely small-about $10^{-14}$ to $10^{-15}$ meter ( m ) in diameter-the nucleus nevertheless contains essentially all the mass of the atom. Electrons have negligible mass and circulate around the nucleus at a distance of approximately $10^{-10} \\mathrm{~m}$. Thus, the diameter of a typical atom is about $2 \\times 10^{-10} \\mathrm{~m}$, or 200 picometers (pm), where $1 \\mathrm{pm}=10^{-12} \\mathrm{~m}$. To give you an idea of how small this is, a thin pencil line is about 3 million carbon atoms wide. Although most chemists throughout the world use the International System (SI) of units and describe small distances in picometers, many organic chemists and biochemists in the United States still use the unit angstrom ( $\\AA$ ) to express atomic distances, where $1 \\AA=100 \\mathrm{pm}=10^{-10} \\mathrm{~m}$. As you probably did in your general chemistry course, however, we'll stay with SI units in this book."} {"id": 5, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 1.1 Atomic Structure: The Nucleus\nA specific atom is described by its atomic number ( $Z$ ), which gives the number of protons (or electrons) it contains, and its mass number ( $\\boldsymbol{A}$, which gives the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. All the atoms of a given element have the same atomic number: 1 for hydrogen, 6 for carbon, 15 for phosphorus, and so on; but they can have different mass numbers depending on how many neutrons they contain. Atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers are called isotopes. The element carbon, for instance, has three isotopes that occur naturally, with mass numbers of 12,13 , and 14. Carbon- 12 has a natural abundance of $98.89 \\%$, carbon-13 has a natural abundance of $1.11 \\%$, and carbon-14 has only a negligible natural abundance.\n\nThe weighted-average of an element's naturally occurring isotopes is called atomic weight and is given in unified atomic mass units (u) or daltons (Da) where 1 u or 1 Da is defined as one twelfth the mass of one atom of carbon-12. Thus, the atomic weight is 1.008 u for hydrogen, 12.011 u for carbon, 30.974 u for phosphorus, and so on. Atomic weights of all elements are given in the periodic table in Appendix $D$."} {"id": 6, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 1.2 Atomic Structure: Orbitals\nHow are the electrons distributed in an atom? You might recall from your general chemistry course that, according to the quantum mechanical model, the behavior of a specific electron in an atom can be described by a mathematical expression called a wave equation-the same type of expression used to describe the motion of waves in a fluid. The solution to a wave equation is called a wave function, or orbital, and is denoted by the lowercase Greek letter psi ( $\\psi$ ).\nWhen the square of the wave function, $\\psi^{2}$, is plotted in three-dimensional space, an orbital describes the volume of space around a nucleus that an electron is most likely to occupy. You might therefore think of an orbital as looking like a photograph of the electron taken at a slow shutter speed. In such a photo, the orbital would appear as a blurry cloud, indicating the region of space where the electron has been. This electron cloud doesn't have a sharp boundary, but for practical purposes we can set the limits by saying that an orbital represents the space where an electron spends $90 \\%$ to $95 \\%$ of its time.\n\nWhat do orbitals look like? There are four different kinds of orbitals, denoted $s, p, d$, and $f$, each with a different shape. Of the four, we'll be concerned primarily with $s$ and $p$ orbitals because these are the most common in\norganic and biological chemistry. An $s$ orbital has a spherical shape, with the nucleus at its center; a $p$ orbital has a dumbbell shape with two parts, or lobes; and four of the five $d$ orbitals have a cloverleaf shape with four lobes, as shown in FIGURE 1.4. The fifth $d$ orbital is shaped like an elongated dumbbell with a doughnut around its middle.\n\n\nAn $s$ orbital\n\n\nA p orbital\n\n\nAd orbital\n\nFIGURE 1.4 Representations of $\\boldsymbol{s}, \\boldsymbol{p}$, and $\\boldsymbol{d}$ orbitals. An $s$ orbital is spherical, a $p$ orbital is dumbbell-shaped, and four of the five $d$ orbitals are cloverleaf-shaped. Different lobes of $p$ orbitals are often drawn for convenience as teardrops, but their actual shape is more like that of a doorknob, as indicated."} {"id": 7, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 1.2 Atomic Structure: Orbitals\nThe orbitals in an atom are organized into different layers around the nucleus called electron shells, which are centered around the nucleus and have successively larger size and energy. Different shells contain different numbers and kinds of orbitals, and each orbital within a shell can be occupied by two electrons. The first shell contains only a single $s$ orbital, denoted $1 s$, and thus holds only 2 electrons. The second shell contains one $2 s$ orbital and three $2 p$ orbitals and thus holds a total of 8 electrons. The third shell contains a $3 s$ orbital, three $3 p$ orbitals, and five $3 d$ orbitals, for a total capacity of 18 electrons. These orbital groupings and their energy levels are shown in FIGURE 1.5.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.5 Energy levels of electrons in an atom. The first shell holds a maximum of 2 electrons in one $1 s$ orbital; the second shell holds a maximum of 8 electrons in one $2 s$ and three $2 p$ orbitals; the third shell holds a maximum of 18 electrons in one $3 s$, three $3 p$, and $3 d$ orbitals; and so on. The two electrons in each orbital are represented by five up and down arrows, $\\uparrow \\downarrow$. Although not shown, the energy level of the $4 s$ orbital falls between $3 p$ and $3 d$.\n\nThe three different $p$ orbitals within a given shell are oriented in space along mutually perpendicular directions, denoted $p_{\\mathrm{x}}, p_{\\mathrm{y}}$, and $p_{\\mathrm{z}}$. As shown in FIGURE 1.6, the two lobes of each $p$ orbital are separated by a region of zero electron density called a node. Furthermore, the two orbital regions separated by the node have different algebraic signs, + and -, in the wave function, as represented by the different colors in FIGURE 1.4 and FIGURE 1.6. As we'll see in Section 1.11, these algebraic signs for different orbital lobes have important consequences with respect to chemical bonding and chemical reactivity.\n\n\nA $2 p_{\\mathrm{x}}$ orbital\n\n\nA $2 p_{\\mathrm{y}}$ orbital"} {"id": 8, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 1.2 Atomic Structure: Orbitals\nA $2 p_{\\mathrm{x}}$ orbital\n\n\nA $2 p_{\\mathrm{y}}$ orbital\n\n\nA $\\mathbf{2} p_{z}$ orbital\n\nFIGURE 1.6 Shapes of the $2 p$ orbitals.

This spin can have two orientations, denoted as up ( $\\uparrow$ ) and down ( $\\downarrow$ ). Only two electrons can occupy an orbital, and they must have opposite spins, a statement called the Pauli exclusion principle.\n\nRULE 3\nIf two or more empty orbitals of equal energy are available, one electron occupies each with spins parallel until all orbitals are half-full, a statement called Hund's rule.\n\nSome examples of how these rules apply are shown in TABLE 1.1. Hydrogen, for instance, has only one electron, which must occupy the lowest-energy orbital. Thus, hydrogen has a $1 s$ ground-state configuration. Carbon has six electrons and the ground-state configuration $1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p_{x}{ }^{1} 2 p_{y}{ }^{1}$, and so forth.

In 1858, the German chemist August Kekul\u00e9 and the Scottish chemist Archibald Couper independently proposed that, in all organic compounds, carbon is tetravalent-it always forms four bonds when it joins other elements to form stable compounds. Furthermore, said Kekul\u00e9, carbon atoms can bond to one another to form extended chains of linked atoms. In 1865, Kekul\u00e9 provided another major advance when he suggested that carbon chains can double back on themselves to form rings of atoms.\n\nAlthough Kekule and Couper were correct in describing the tetravalent nature of carbon, chemistry was still viewed in a two-dimensional way until 1874. In that year, the Dutch chemist Jacobus van't Hoff and French chemist Joseph Le Bel added a third dimension to our ideas about organic compounds when they proposed that the four bonds of carbon are not oriented randomly but have specific spatial directions. Van't Hoff went even further and suggested that the four atoms to which carbon is bonded sit at the corners of a regular tetrahedron, with carbon in the center.\n\nA representation of a tetrahedral carbon atom is shown in FIGURE 1.7. Note the conventions used to show threedimensionality: solid lines represent bonds in the plane of the page, the heavy wedged line represents a bond coming out of the page toward the viewer, and the dashed line represents a bond receding back behind the page, away from the viewer. Get used to them; these representations will be used throughout the text.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.7 A representation of van't Hoff's tetrahedral carbon atom. The solid lines represent bonds in the plane of the paper, the heavy wedged line represents a bond coming out of the plane of the page toward the viewer, and the dashed line represents a bond going back behind the plane of the page away from the viewer."} {"id": 12, "contents": "RULE 1 - 1.4 Development of Chemical Bonding Theory\nWhy, though, do atoms bond together, and how can chemical bonds be described electronically? The why question is relatively easy to answer: atoms bond together because the compound that results is more stable and lower in energy than the separate atoms. Energy-usually as heat-is always released and flows out of the chemical system when a bond forms. Conversely, energy is added to the chemical system when a bond breaks. Making bonds always releases energy, and breaking bonds always absorbs energy. The how question is more difficult. To answer it, we need to know more about the electronic properties of atoms.\n\nWe know through observation that eight electrons (an electron octet) in an atom's outermost shell, or valence shell, impart special stability to the noble-gas elements in group 8A of the periodic table: $\\mathrm{Ne}(2+8)$; $\\mathrm{Ar}(2+8+$ 8 ); $\\mathrm{Kr}(2+8+18+8)$. We also know that the chemistry of the main-group elements on the left and right sides of the periodic table is governed by their tendency to take on the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas. The alkali metals such as sodium in group 1A, for example, achieve a noble-gas configuration by losing the single $s$ electron from their valence shell to form a cation, while the halogens such as chlorine in group 7A achieve a noble-gas configuration by gaining a $p$ electron to fill their valence shell and form an anion. The resultant ions are held together in compounds like $\\mathrm{Na}^{+} \\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$by the electrical attraction of unlike charges that we call an ionic bond."} {"id": 13, "contents": "RULE 1 - 1.4 Development of Chemical Bonding Theory\nBut how do elements closer to the middle of the periodic table form bonds? Look at methane, $\\mathrm{CH}_{4}$, the main constituent of natural gas, for example. The bonding in methane is not ionic because it would take too much energy for carbon ( $1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{2}$ ) either to gain or lose four electrons to achieve a noble-gas configuration. Instead, carbon bonds to other atoms, not by gaining or losing electrons, but by sharing them. Such a sharedelectron bond, first proposed in 1916 by the American chemist G. N. Lewis, is called a covalent bond. The neutral collection of atoms held together by covalent bonds is called a molecule. Ionic compounds such as sodium chloride, however, are not called molecules.\n\nA simple way of indicating the covalent bonds in molecules is to use what are called Lewis structures, or electron-dot structures, in which the valence-shell electrons of an atom are represented as dots. Thus, hydrogen has one dot representing its $1 s$ electron, carbon has four dots ( $2 s^{2} 2 p^{2}$ ), oxygen has six dots ( $2 s^{2} 2 p^{4}$ ), and so on. A stable molecule results whenever a noble-gas configuration of eight dots (an octet) is achieved for all main-group atoms or two dots for hydrogen. Even simpler than Lewis structures is the use of Kekul\u00e9 structures, or line-bond structures, in which the two-electron covalent bonds are indicated as lines drawn between atoms."} {"id": 14, "contents": "RULE 1 - 1.4 Development of Chemical Bonding Theory\n| Electron-dot structures (Lewis structures) | | $\\begin{gathered} H: \\ddot{\\mathrm{N}}: \\mathrm{H} \\\\ \\ddot{\\mathrm{H}} \\end{gathered}$ | $H: \\ddot{O}: H$ | |\n| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |\n| Line-bond structures (Kekul\u00e9 structures) | C | [NH] | $\\mathrm{H}-\\ddot{\\mathrm{O}}-\\mathrm{H}$ | CO |\n| | Methane $\\left(\\mathrm{CH}_{4}\\right)$ | Ammonia $\\left(\\mathrm{NH}_{3}\\right)$ | Water $\\left(\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}\\right)$ | Methanol $\\left(\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{OH}\\right)$ |\n\nThe number of covalent bonds an atom forms depends on how many additional valence electrons it needs to reach a noble-gas configuration. Hydrogen has one valence electron (1s) and needs only one more to reach the helium configuration ( $1 s^{2}$ ), so it forms one bond. Carbon has four valence electrons ( $2 s^{2} 2 p^{2}$ ) and needs four more to reach the neon configuration $\\left(2 s^{2} 2 p^{6}\\right)$, so it forms four bonds. Nitrogen has five valence electrons ( $2 s^{2}$ $2 p^{3}$ ), needs three more, and forms three bonds; oxygen has six valence electrons ( $2 s^{2} 2 p^{4}$ ), needs two more, and forms two bonds; and the halogens have seven valence electrons, need one more, and form one bond."} {"id": 15, "contents": "RULE 1 - 1.4 Development of Chemical Bonding Theory\nValence electrons that are not used for bonding remain as dots in structures and are called lone-pair electrons, or nonbonding electrons.

Two models have been developed to describe covalent bonding: valence bond theory and molecular orbital theory. Each model has its strengths and weaknesses, and chemists tend to use them interchangeably depending on the circumstances. Valence bond theory is the more easily visualized of the two, so most of the descriptions we'll use in this book derive from that approach.\n\nAccording to valence bond (VB) theory, a covalent bond forms when two atoms approach each other closely and a singly occupied orbital on one atom overlaps a singly occupied orbital on the other atom. The electrons are now paired in the overlapping orbitals and are attracted to the nuclei of both atoms, thus bonding the atoms together. In the $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ molecule, for instance, the $\\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond results from the overlap of two singly occupied hydrogen $1 s$ orbitals.\n\n\nThe overlapping orbitals in the $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ molecule have the elongated egg shape we might get by pressing two spheres together.

In other words, the $\\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond is cylindrically symmetrical, as shown in FIGURE 1.8.

Shown in FIGURE 1.11, these tetrahedrally oriented orbitals are called $\\boldsymbol{s p}^{\\mathbf{3}}$ hybrid orbitals.

The shape of the hybrid orbital suggests the answer to why. When an $s$ orbital hybridizes with three $p$ orbitals, the resultant $s p^{3}$ hybrid orbitals are unsymmetrical about the nucleus. One of the two lobes is larger than the other and can therefore overlap more effectively with an orbital from another atom to form a bond. As a result,\n$s p^{3}$ hybrid orbitals form stronger bonds than do unhybridized $s$ or $p$ orbitals.\nThe asymmetry of $s p^{3}$ orbitals arises because, as noted previously, the two lobes of a $p$ orbital have different algebraic signs, + and - in the wave function. Thus, when a $p$ orbital hybridizes with an $s$ orbital, the positive $p$ lobe adds to the $s$ orbital but the negative $p$ lobe subtracts from the $s$ orbital. The resultant hybrid orbital is therefore unsymmetrical about the nucleus and is strongly oriented in one direction.\n\nWhen each of the four identical $s p^{3}$ hybrid orbitals of a carbon atom overlaps with the $1 s$ orbital of a hydrogen atom, four identical $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ bonds are formed and methane results. Each $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond in methane has a strength of $439 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}(105 \\mathrm{kcal} / \\mathrm{mol})$ and a length of 109 pm . Because the four bonds have a specific geometry, we also can define a property called the bond angle. The angle formed by each $\\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ is $109.5^{\\circ}$, the so-called tetrahedral angle.

Having now seen the valence bond approach, which uses hybrid atomic orbitals to account for geometry and assumes the overlap of atomic orbitals to account for electron sharing, let's look briefly at the molecular orbital approach to bonding. We'll return to this topic in Chapters 14, 15, and 30 for a more in-depth discussion.\n\nMolecular orbital (MO) theory describes covalent bond formation as arising from a mathematical combination of atomic orbitals (wave functions) on different atoms to form molecular orbitals, so called because they belong to the entire molecule rather than to an individual atom. Just as an atomic orbital, whether unhybridized or hybridized, describes a region of space around an atom where an electron is likely to be found, so a molecular orbital describes a region of space in a molecule where electrons are most likely to be found.\n\nLike an atomic orbital, a molecular orbital has a specific size, shape, and energy. In the $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ molecule, for example, two singly occupied $1 s$ atomic orbitals combine to form two molecular orbitals. There are two ways for the orbital combination to occur-an additive way and a subtractive way. The additive combination leads to formation of a molecular orbital that is lower in energy and roughly egg-shaped, while the subtractive combination leads to a molecular orbital that is higher in energy and has a node between nuclei (FIGURE 1.18). Note that the additive combination is a single, egg-shaped, molecular orbital; it is not the same as the two overlapping 1 s atomic orbitals of the valence bond description. Similarly, the subtractive combination is a single molecular orbital with the shape of an elongated dumbbell.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.18 Molecular orbitals of $\\mathbf{H}_{\\mathbf{2}}$.

The subtractive combination is higher in energy than the two hydrogen $1 s$ orbitals and is called an antibonding MO because any electrons it contains can't occupy the central region between the nuclei, where there is a node, and thus can't contribute to bonding. The two nuclei therefore repel each other.\n\nJust as bonding and antibonding $\\sigma$ molecular orbitals result from the head-on combination of two $s$ atomic orbitals in $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$, so bonding and antibonding $\\pi$ molecular orbitals result from the sideways combination of two $p$ atomic orbitals in ethylene.

All decisions involve tradeoffs, and the answer is rarely obvious. Does the benefit of increased food production outweigh possible health risks of a pesticide? Do the beneficial effects of a new drug outweigh a potentially dangerous side effect in a small number of users? Different people will have different opinions, but an honest evaluation of facts is surely the best way to start. As of June 2022, atrazine was still approved for continued use in the United States because the EPA believes that the benefits of increased food production outweigh possible health risks.

As we've seen, organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds. Although a division into organic and inorganic chemistry occurred historically, there is no scientific reason for the division.\n\nAn atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons. The electronic structure of an atom can be described by a quantum mechanical wave equation, in which electrons are considered to occupy orbitals around the nucleus. Different orbitals have different energy levels and different shapes. For example, $s$ orbitals are spherical and $p$ orbitals are dumbbell-shaped. The groundstate electron configuration of an atom can be found by assigning electrons to the proper orbitals, beginning with the lowest-energy ones.\n\nA covalent bond is formed when an electron pair is shared between atoms. According to valence bond (VB) theory, electron sharing occurs by the overlap of two atomic orbitals. According to molecular orbital (MO) theory, bonds result from the mathematical combination of atomic orbitals to give molecular orbitals, which belong to the entire molecule. Bonds that have a circular cross-section and are formed by head-on interaction are called sigma ( $\\boldsymbol{\\sigma}$ ) bonds; bonds formed by sideways interaction of $p$ orbitals are called $\\mathbf{p i}$ ( $\\boldsymbol{\\pi}$ ) bonds.\n\nIn the valence bond description, carbon uses hybrid orbitals to form bonds in organic molecules. When forming only single bonds with tetrahedral geometry, carbon uses four equivalent $\\boldsymbol{s p}^{\\mathbf{3}}$ hybrid orbitals. When forming a double bond with planar geometry, carbon uses three equivalent $\\boldsymbol{s p}^{\\mathbf{2}}$ hybrid orbitals and one unhybridized $p$ orbital. When forming a triple bond with linear geometry, carbon uses two equivalent $\\boldsymbol{s p h}$ hybrid orbitals and two unhybridized $p$ orbitals. Other atoms such as nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, and sulfur also use hybrid orbitals to form strong, oriented bonds."} {"id": 54, "contents": "Summary - \nOrganic molecules are usually drawn using either condensed structures or skeletal structures.

Although careful reading and rereading of this text are important, reading alone isn't enough. You must also be able to use the information you've read and be able to apply your knowledge in new situations. Working problems gives you practice at doing this.\n\nEach chapter in this book provides many problems of different sorts. The in-chapter problems are placed for immediate reinforcement of ideas just learned, while end-of-chapter problems provide additional practice and come in several forms. They often begin with a short section called \"Visualizing Chemistry,\" which helps you see the microscopic world of molecules and provides practice for working in three dimensions. After the visualizations are many further problems, which are organized by topic. Early problems are primarily of the drill type, providing an opportunity for you to practice your command of the fundamentals. Later problems tend to be more thought-provoking, and some are real challenges.\n\nAs you study organic chemistry, take the time to work the problems. Do the ones you can, and ask for help on the ones you can't.

Understanding organic chemistry means knowing not just what happens but also why and how it happens at the molecular level. In this chapter, we'll look at some of the ways that chemists describe and account for chemical reactivity, thereby providing a foundation to understand the specific reactions discussed in subsequent chapters. Topics such as bond polarity, the acid-base behavior of molecules, and hydrogen-bonding are a particularly important part of that foundation.\n\nWe saw in the previous chapter how covalent bonds between atoms are described, and we looked at the valence\nbond model, which uses hybrid orbitals to account for the observed shapes of organic molecules. Before going on to a systematic study of organic chemistry, however, we still need to review a few fundamental topics. In particular, we need to look more closely at how electrons are distributed in covalent bonds and at some of the consequences that arise when the electrons in a bond are not shared equally between atoms."} {"id": 67, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 2.1 Polar Covalent Bonds and Electronegativity\nUp to this point, we've treated chemical bonds as either ionic or covalent. The bond in sodium chloride, for instance, is ionic. Sodium transfers an electron to chlorine to produce $\\mathrm{Na}^{+}$and $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ions, which are held together in the solid by electrostatic attractions between unlike charges. The $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{C}$ bond in ethane, however, is covalent. The two bonding electrons are shared equally by the two equivalent carbon atoms, resulting in a symmetrical electron distribution in the bond. Most bonds, however, are neither fully ionic nor fully covalent but are somewhere between the two extremes. Such bonds are called polar covalent bonds, meaning that the bonding electrons are attracted more strongly by one atom than the other so that the electron distribution between atoms is not symmetrical (FIGURE 2.2).\n\n\nFIGURE 2.2 The continuum in bonding from covalent to ionic is a result of an unequal distribution of bonding electrons between atoms. The symbol $\\delta$ (lowercase Greek letter delta) means partial charge, either partial positive ( $\\delta+$ ) for the electron-poor atom or partial negative ( $\\delta-$ ) for the electron-rich atom.\n\nBond polarity is due to differences in electronegativity (EN), the intrinsic ability of an atom to attract the shared electrons in a covalent bond. As shown in FIGURE 2.3, electronegativities are based on an arbitrary scale, with fluorine the most electronegative ( $\\mathrm{EN}=4.0$ ) and cesium the least ( $\\mathrm{EN}=0.7$ ). Metals on the left side of the periodic table attract electrons weakly and have lower electronegativities, while oxygen, nitrogen, and halogens on the right side of the periodic table attract electrons strongly and have higher electronegativities.

Electrostatic potential maps are useful because they show at a glance the electron-rich and electron-poor atoms in molecules. We'll make frequent use of these maps throughout the text and will see many examples of how electronic structure correlates with chemical reactivity.\n\nWhen speaking of an atom's ability to polarize a bond, we often use the term inductive effect. An inductive effect is simply the shifting of electrons in a $\\sigma$ bond in response to the electronegativity of nearby atoms. Metals, such as lithium and magnesium, inductively donate electrons, whereas reactive nonmetals, such as oxygen and nitrogen, inductively withdraw electrons. Inductive effects play a major role in understanding chemical reactivity, and we'll use them many times throughout this text to explain a variety of chemical observations."} {"id": 75, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 2.1 Polar Covalent Bonds and Electronegativity\nPROBLEM Which element in each of the following pairs is more electronegative?\n2-1 (a) Li or H\n(b) B or Br\n(c) Cl or I (d) C or H\n\nPROBLEM Use the $\\delta+/ \\delta$ - convention to indicate the direction of expected polarity for each of the bonds 2-2 indicated.\n(a) $\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{Cl}$\n(b) $\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{NH}_{2}$\n(c) $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{~N}-\\mathrm{H}$\n(d) $\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{SH}$\n(e) $\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{MgBr}$ (f) $\\quad \\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{F}$\n\nPROBLEM Use the electronegativity values shown in Figure 2.3 to rank the following bonds from least polar to 2-3 most polar: $\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{Li}, \\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{K}, \\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{F}, \\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{MgBr}, \\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{OH}$\n\nPROBLEM Look at the following electrostatic potential map of methylamine, a substance responsible for the $\\mathbf{2 - 4}$ odor of rotting fish, and tell the direction of polarization of the $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{N}$ bond:\n\n\nMethylamine"} {"id": 76, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 2.2 Polar Covalent Bonds and Dipole Moments\nJust as individual bonds are often polar, molecules as a whole are often polar as well.

Instead, they're a device for electron \"bookkeeping\" and can be thought of in the following way: A typical covalent bond is formed when each atom donates one electron. Although the bonding electrons are shared by both atoms, each atom can still be considered to \"own\" one electron for bookkeeping purposes. In methane, for instance, the carbon atom owns one electron in each of the four $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ bonds. Because a neutral, isolated carbon atom has four valence electrons, and because the carbon atom in methane still owns four, the methane carbon atom is neutral and has no formal charge.\n\n\nThe same is true for the nitrogen atom in ammonia, which has three covalent $\\mathrm{N}-\\mathrm{H}$ bonds and two nonbonding electrons (a lone pair). Atomic nitrogen has five valence electrons, and the ammonia nitrogen also has five-one in each of three shared $\\mathrm{N}-\\mathrm{H}$ bonds plus two in the lone pair. Thus, the nitrogen atom in ammonia has no formal charge.\n\n\nThe situation is different in dimethyl sulfoxide. Atomic sulfur has six valence electrons, but the dimethyl sulfoxide sulfur owns only five-one in each of the two $\\mathrm{S}-\\mathrm{C}$ single bonds, one in the $\\mathrm{S}-\\mathrm{O}$ single bond, and two in a lone pair. Thus, the sulfur atom has formally lost an electron and therefore has a positive formal charge. A similar calculation for the oxygen atom shows that it has formally gained an electron and has a negative charge. Atomic oxygen has six valence electrons, but the oxygen in dimethyl sulfoxide has seven-one in the $O-S$ bond and two in each of three lone pairs. Thus, the oxygen has formally gained an electron and has a negative formal charge.\n\n\nTo express the calculations in a general way, the formal charge on an atom is equal to the number of valence electrons in a neutral, isolated atom minus the number of electrons owned by that bonded atom in a molecule. The number of electrons in the bonded atom, in turn, is equal to half the number of bonding electrons plus the nonbonding, lone-pair electrons."} {"id": 84, "contents": "Dimethyl sulfoxide - \n$$\n\\begin{aligned}\n\\text { Formal charge } & =\\left(\\begin{array}{c}\n\\text { Number of } \\\\\n\\text { valence electrons } \\\\\n\\text { in free atom }\n\\end{array}\\right)-\\left(\\begin{array}{c}\n\\text { Number of } \\\\\n\\text { valence electrons } \\\\\n\\text { in bonded atom }\n\\end{array}\\right) \\\\\n& =\\left(\\begin{array}{c}\n\\text { Number of } \\\\\n\\text { valence electrons } \\\\\n\\text { in free atom }\n\\end{array}\\right)-\\left(\\begin{array}{c}\n\\text { Number of } \\\\\n\\text { bonding electrons } \\\\\n2\n\\end{array} \\begin{array}{c}\n\\text { Number of } \\\\\n\\text { nonbonding } \\\\\n\\text { electrons }\n\\end{array}\\right)\n\\end{aligned}\n$$\n\nA summary of commonly encountered formal charges and the bonding situations in which they occur is given in TABLE 2.2.

Look at the acetate ion, for instance. When we draw a line-bond structure for acetate, we need to show a double bond to one oxygen and a single bond to the other. But which oxygen is which? Should we draw a double bond to the \"top\" oxygen and a single bond to the \"bottom\" oxygen, or vice versa?\n\n\nAlthough the two oxygen atoms in the acetate ion appear different in line-bond structures, experiments show that they are equivalent. Both carbon-oxygen bonds, for instance, are 127 pm in length, midway between the length of a typical $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{O}$ single bond ( 135 pm ) and a typical $\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{O}$ double bond ( 120 pm ). In other words, neither of the two structures for acetate is correct by itself. The true structure is intermediate between the two, and an electrostatic potential map shows that both oxygen atoms share the negative charge and have equal electron densities (red).\n\n\nThe two individual line-bond structures for acetate ion are called resonance forms, and their special resonance relationship is indicated by the double-headed arrow between them. The only difference between the two resonance forms is the placement of the $\\pi$ and nonbonding valence electrons. The atoms themselves occupy exactly the same place in both resonance forms, the connections between atoms are the same, and the threedimensional shapes of the resonance forms are the same.\n\nA good way to think about resonance forms is to realize that a substance like the acetate ion is the same as any other. Acetate doesn't jump back and forth between two resonance forms, spending part of the time looking like one and part of the time looking like the other. Rather, acetate has a single unchanging structure that we say is a resonance hybrid of the two individual forms and has characteristics of both. The only \"problem\" with acetate is that we can't draw it accurately using a familiar line-bond structure-line-bond structures just don't work for resonance hybrids.

Although each individual resonance form seems to imply that benzene has alternating single and double bonds, neither form is correct by itself. The true benzene structure is a hybrid of the two individual forms, and all six carbon-carbon bonds are equivalent.

The following rules should be helpful:"} {"id": 89, "contents": "RULE 1 - \nIndividual resonance forms are imaginary, not real. The real structure is a composite, or resonance hybrid, of the different forms. Species such as the acetate ion and benzene are no different from any other. They have single, unchanging structures, and they don't switch back and forth between resonance forms. The only difference between these and other substances is in the way they are represented in drawings."} {"id": 90, "contents": "RULE 2 - \nResonance forms differ only in the placement of their $\\boldsymbol{\\pi}$ or nonbonding electrons. Neither the position nor the hybridization of any atom changes from one resonance form to another. In the acetate ion, for instance, the carbon atom is $s p^{2}$-hybridized and the oxygen atoms remain in exactly the same place in both resonance forms. Only the positions of the $\\pi$ electrons in the $\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{O}$ bond and the lone-pair electrons on oxygen differ from one form to another. This movement of electrons from one resonance structure to another can be indicated with curved arrows. A curved arrow always indicates the movement of electrons, not the movement of atoms. An 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.\n\n\nThe situation with benzene is similar to that with acetate. The $\\pi$ electrons in the double bonds move, as shown with curved arrows, but the carbon and hydrogen atoms remain in place.\n\n\nRULE 3\nDifferent resonance forms of a substance don't have to be equivalent. As an example, we'll see in Chapter 22 that a compound such as acetone, which contains a $\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{O}$ bond, can be converted into its anion by reaction with a strong base. The resultant anion has two resonance forms. One form contains a carbon-oxygen double bond and has a negative charge on carbon; the other contains a carbon-carbon double bond and has a negative charge on oxygen. Even though the two resonance forms aren't equivalent, both contribute to the overall\nresonance hybrid.\n\n\nWhen two resonance forms are nonequivalent, the actual structure of the resonance hybrid resembles the more stable form. Thus, we might expect the true structure of the acetone anion to be more like that of the form that places the negative charge on the electronegative oxygen atom rather than on the carbon.\n\nRULE 4\nResonance forms obey normal rules of valency. A resonance form is like any other structure: the octet rule still applies to second-row, main-group atoms. For example, one of the following structures for the acetate ion is not a valid resonance form because the carbon atom has five bonds and ten valence electrons:"} {"id": 91, "contents": "RULE 2 - \nRULE 5\nThe resonance hybrid is more stable than any individual resonance form. In other words, resonance leads to stability. Generally speaking, the larger the number of resonance forms a substance has, the more stable the substance is, because its electrons are spread out over a larger part of the molecule and are closer to more nuclei. We'll see in Chapter 15, for instance, that a benzene ring is more stable because of resonance than might otherwise be expected."} {"id": 92, "contents": "RULE 2 - 2.6 Drawing Resonance Forms\nLook back at the resonance forms of the acetate ion and the acetone anion shown in the previous section.

The two resonance forms differ simply by an exchange in position of the multiple bond and the asterisk from one end of the three-atom grouping to the other.\n\nBy learning to recognize such three-atom groupings within larger structures, resonance forms can be systematically generated. Look, for instance, at the anion produced when $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$is removed from 2,4-pentanedione by reaction with a base. How many resonance structures does the resultant anion have?\n\n\nThe 2,4-pentanedione anion has a lone pair of electrons and a formal negative charge on the central carbon atom, next to a $\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{O}$ bond on the left.

Also important, however, particularly in large biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids, are a variety of interactions between molecules that strongly affect molecular properties. Collectively called either intermolecular forces, van der Waals forces, or noncovalent interactions, they are of several different types: dipole-dipole forces, dispersion forces, and hydrogen bonds.\n\nDipole-dipole forces occur between polar molecules as a result of electrostatic interactions among dipoles. The forces can be either attractive or repulsive depending on the orientation of the molecules-attractive when unlike charges are together and repulsive when like charges are together. The attractive geometry is lower in energy and therefore predominates (FIGURE 2.7).\n\n\nFIGURE 2.7 Dipole-dipole forces cause polar molecules (a) to attract one another when they orient with unlike charges together, but (b) to repel one another when they orient with like charges together.\n\nDispersion forces occur between all neighboring molecules and arise because the electron distribution within molecules is constantly changing. Although uniform on a time-averaged basis, the electron distribution even in nonpolar molecules is likely to be nonuniform at any given instant. One side of a molecule may, by chance, have a slight excess of electrons relative to the opposite side, giving the molecule a temporary dipole. This temporary dipole in one molecule causes a nearby molecule to adopt a temporarily opposite dipole, resulting in a tiny attraction between the two (FIGURE 2.8). Temporary molecular dipoles have only a fleeting existence and are constantly changing, but their cumulative effect is often strong enough to hold molecules close together so that a substance is a liquid or solid rather than a gas.\n\n\nFIGURE 2.8 Attractive dispersion forces in nonpolar molecules are caused by temporary dipoles, as shown in these models of pentane, $\\mathrm{C}_{5} \\mathrm{H}_{12}$."} {"id": 126, "contents": "Solution - 2.12 Noncovalent Interactions between Molecules\nFIGURE 2.8 Attractive dispersion forces in nonpolar molecules are caused by temporary dipoles, as shown in these models of pentane, $\\mathrm{C}_{5} \\mathrm{H}_{12}$.\n\nPerhaps the most important noncovalent interaction in biological molecules is the hydrogen bond, an attractive interaction between a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative O or N atom and an unshared electron pair on another O or N atom.

A carbon-oxygen bond is polar, for example, because oxygen attracts the shared electrons more strongly than carbon does. Carbon-hydrogen bonds are relatively nonpolar. Many molecules as a whole are also polar, owing to the presence of individual polar bonds and electron lone pairs.

Instead of 195 million compounds with random reactivity, there are a few dozen families of organic compounds whose chemistry is reasonably predictable.

A functional group is a group of atoms within a molecule that has a characteristic chemical behavior. Chemically, a given functional group behaves in nearly the same way in every molecule it's a part of. For example, compare ethylene, a plant hormone that causes fruit to ripen, with menthene, a much more complicated molecule found in peppermint oil. Both substances contain a carbon-carbon double-bond functional group, and both therefore react with $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ in the same way to give a product in which a Br atom has added to each of the double-bond carbons (FIGURE 3.2). This example is typical: the chemistry of every organic molecule, regardless of size and complexity, is determined by the functional groups it contains.\n\n\n\nEthylene\n\n\n\nMenthene\n\n\n\nFIGURE 3.2 The reactions of ethylene and menthene with bromine. In both molecules, the carbon-carbon double-bond functional group has a similar polarity pattern, so both molecules react with $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ in the same way. The size and complexity of the molecules are not important.\n\nLook at TABLE 3.1, which lists many of the common functional groups and gives simple examples of their occurrence.

We saw in Section 1.7 that the carbon-carbon single bond in ethane results from $\\sigma$ (head-on) overlap of carbon $s p^{3}$ hybrid orbitals. If we imagine joining three, four, five, or even more carbon atoms by $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{C}$ single bonds, we can generate the large family of molecules called alkanes.\n\n\nMethane\n\n\nEthane\n\n\nPropane\n\n\nButane\n\nAlkanes are often described as saturated hydrocarbons: hydrocarbons because they contain only carbon and hydrogen; saturated because they have only $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{C}$ and $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ single bonds and thus contain the maximum possible number of hydrogens per carbon. They have the general formula $\\mathrm{C}_{n} \\mathrm{H}_{2 n+2}$, where $n$ is an integer.

With one carbon and four hydrogens, only one structure is possible: methane, $\\mathrm{CH}_{4}$. Similarly, there is only one combination of two carbons with six hydrogens (ethane, $\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ ) and only one combination of three carbons with eight hydrogens (propane, $\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CH}_{2} \\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ ). When larger numbers of carbons and hydrogens combine, however, more than one structure is possible. For example, there are two substances with the formula $\\mathrm{C}_{4} \\mathrm{H}_{10}$ : the four carbons can all be in a row (butane), or they can branch (isobutane).

The system of naming (nomenclature) we'll use in this book is that devised by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC, usually spoken as eye-you-pac).\n\nA chemical name typically has four parts in the IUPAC system: parent, prefix, locant, and suffix. The parent name identifies the main part of the molecule and tells how many carbon atoms are in that part. Prefixes identify the various substituent groups attached to the parent. Locants give the positions of the attached substituents. And the suffix identifies the primary functional group attached to the parent.\n\n\nAs we cover new functional groups in later chapters, the applicable IUPAC rules of nomenclature will be given. In addition, Appendix $A$ at the back of this book gives an overall view of organic nomenclature and shows how compounds that contain more than one functional group are named.

They are also relatively inert biologically and are not often involved in the chemistry of living organisms. Alkanes do, however, react with oxygen, halogens, and a few other substances under appropriate conditions.\n\nReaction with oxygen occurs during combustion in an engine or furnace when an alkane is used as a fuel. Carbon dioxide and water are formed as products, and a large amount of heat is released. For example, methane (natural gas) reacts with oxygen according to the equation\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{CH}_{4}+2 \\mathrm{O}_{2} \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{CO}_{2}+2 \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}+890 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}(213 \\mathrm{kcal} / \\mathrm{mol})\n$$\n\nThe reaction of an alkane with $\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ occurs when a mixture of the two is irradiated with ultraviolet light (denoted $h v$, where $v$ is the Greek letter $n u$ ). Depending on the time allowed and the relative amounts of the two reactants, a sequential substitution of the alkane hydrogen atoms by chlorine occurs, leading to a mixture of chlorinated products. Methane, for instance, reacts with $\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ to yield a mixture of $\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{Cl}_{1}, \\mathrm{CH}_{2} \\mathrm{Cl}_{2}, \\mathrm{CHCl}_{3}$, and $\\mathrm{CCl}_{4}$. We'll look at this reaction in more detail in Section 6.6.\n\n\nAlkanes show regular increases in both boiling point and melting point as molecular weight increases (FIGURE 3.5), an effect due to the presence of weak dispersion forces between molecules (Section 2.12). Only when sufficient energy is applied to overcome these forces does the solid melt or liquid boil. As you might expect, dispersion forces increase as molecular size increases, accounting for the higher melting and boiling points of larger alkanes."} {"id": 179, "contents": "Strategy - 3.5 Properties of Alkanes\nFIGURE 3.5 A plot of melting and boiling points versus number of carbon atoms for the C1-C14 straight-chain alkanes.

Thus, pentane has no branches and boils at $36.1^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, isopentane (2-methylbutane) has one branch and boils at $27.85{ }^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, and neopentane (2,2-dimethylpropane) has two branches and boils at $9.5^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$. Similarly, octane boils at $125.7^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, whereas isooctane ( $2,2,4$-trimethylpentane) boils at $99.3^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$. Branched-chain alkanes are lower-boiling because they are more nearly spherical than straight-chain alkanes, have smaller surface areas, and consequently have smaller dispersion forces."} {"id": 180, "contents": "Strategy - 3.6 Conformations of Ethane\nUp until now, we've viewed molecules primarily in a two-dimensional way and have given little thought to any consequences that might arise from the spatial arrangement of atoms in molecules. Now it's time to add a third dimension to our study. Stereochemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the three-dimensional aspects of molecules. We'll see on many occasions in future chapters that the exact three-dimensional structure of a molecule is often crucial to determining its properties and biological behavior.\n\nWe know from Section 1.5 that $\\sigma$ bonds are cylindrically symmetrical. In other words, the intersection of a plane cutting through a carbon-carbon single-bond orbital looks like a circle. Because of this cylindrical symmetry, rotation is possible around carbon-carbon bonds in open-chain molecules. In ethane, for instance, rotation around the $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{C}$ bond occurs freely, constantly changing the spatial relationships between the hydrogens on one carbon and those on the other (FIGURE 3.6).\n\n\nFIGURE 3.6 Rotation occurs around the carbon-carbon single bond in ethane because of $\\boldsymbol{\\sigma}$ bond cylindrical symmetry.\nThe different arrangements of atoms that result from bond rotation are called conformations, and molecules that have different arrangements are called conformational isomers, or conformers. Unlike constitutional isomers, however, different conformers often can't be isolated because they interconvert too rapidly.\n\nConformational isomers are represented in two ways, as shown in FIGURE 3.7.

By far, the major sources of alkanes are the world's natural gas and petroleum deposits. Laid down eons ago, these deposits are thought to be derived primarily from the decomposition of tiny singlecelled marine organisms called foraminifera. Natural gas consists chiefly of methane but also contains ethane, propane, and butane. Petroleum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons that must be separated into fractions and then further refined before it can be used.\n\n\nFIGURE 3.12 Gasoline is a finite resource.

The petroleum was distilled into fractions according to boiling point, but it was highboiling kerosene, or lamp oil, rather than gasoline that was primarily sought. Literacy was becoming widespread at the time, and people wanted better light for reading than was available from candles. Gasoline was too volatile for use in lamps and was initially considered a waste by-product. The world has changed greatly since those early days, however, and it is now gasoline rather than lamp oil that is prized.\n\nPetroleum refining begins by fractional distillation of crude oil into three principal cuts according to boiling point (bp): straight-run gasoline (bp 30-200 ${ }^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ ), kerosene (bp $175-300^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ ), and heating oil, or diesel fuel (bp $275-400{ }^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ ). Further distillation under reduced pressure then yields lubricating oils and waxes and leaves a tarry residue of asphalt. The distillation of crude oil is only the first step in gasoline production, however.

There are, however, some important differences. One difference is that cycloalkanes are less flexible than open-chain alkanes. In contrast with the relatively free rotation around single bonds in open-chain alkanes (Section 3.6 and Section 3.7 ), there is much less freedom in cycloalkanes. Cyclopropane, for example, must be a rigid, planar molecule because three points (the carbon atoms) define a plane. No bond rotation can take place around a cyclopropane carbon-carbon bond without breaking open the ring (FIGURE 4.2).\n(a)\n\n\n\n(b)\n\n\n\nFIGURE 4.2 Bond rotation in ethane and cyclopropane. (a) Rotation occurs around the carbon-carbon bond in ethane, but (b) no rotation is possible around the carbon-carbon bonds in cyclopropane without breaking open the ring.\n\nLarger cycloalkanes have increasing rotational freedom, and very large rings ( $\\mathrm{C}_{25}$ and up) are so floppy that they are nearly indistinguishable from open-chain alkanes. The common ring sizes ( $\\mathrm{C}_{3}-\\mathrm{C}_{7}$ ), however, are severely restricted in their molecular motions.\n\nBecause of their cyclic structures, cycloalkanes have two faces when viewed edge-on, a \"top\" face and a \"bottom\" face. As a result, isomerism is possible in substituted cycloalkanes. For example, there are two different 1,2-dimethylcyclopropane isomers, one with the two methyl groups on the same face of the ring and one with the methyl groups on opposite faces (FIGURE 4.3).

Although numerous compounds containing five-membered and six-membered rings were known, smaller and larger ring sizes had not been prepared, despite many attempts.\n\nA theoretical interpretation of this observation was proposed in 1885 by Adolf von Baeyer, who suggested that small and large rings might be unstable due to angle strain-the strain induced in a molecule when bond angles are forced to deviate from the ideal $109^{\\circ}$ tetrahedral value. Baeyer based his suggestion on the simple geometric notion that a three-membered ring (cyclopropane) should be an equilateral triangle with bond angles of $60^{\\circ}$ rather than $109^{\\circ}$, a four-membered ring (cyclobutane) should be a square with bond angles of $90^{\\circ}$, a fivemembered ring should be a regular pentagon with bond angles of $108^{\\circ}$, and so on. Continuing this argument, large rings should be strained by having bond angles that are much greater than $109^{\\circ}$.\n\n\nWhat are the facts? To measure the amount of strain in a compound, we have to measure the total energy of the compound and then subtract the energy of a strain-free reference compound. The difference between the two values should represent the amount of extra energy in the molecule due to strain. The simplest experimental way to do this for a cycloalkane is to measure its heat of combustion, the amount of heat released when the compound burns completely with oxygen. The more energy (strain) the compound contains, the more energy (heat) is released by combustion.\n\n$$\n\\left(\\mathrm{CH}_{2}\\right)_{n}+3 n / 2 \\mathrm{O}_{2} \\longrightarrow n \\mathrm{CO}_{2}+n \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}+\\text { Heat (add) }\n$$"} {"id": 217, "contents": "Solution - 4.3 Stability of Cycloalkanes: Ring Strain\nBecause the heat of combustion of a cycloalkane depends on size, we need to look at heats of combustion per $\\mathrm{CH}_{2}$ unit.

Small and medium rings are strained, but cyclohexane rings and very large rings are strain-free.\n\nThe data in FIGURE 4.4 show that Baeyer's theory is only partially correct. Cyclopropane and cyclobutane are indeed strained, just as predicted, but cyclopentane is more strained than predicted, and cyclohexane is strainfree. Cycloalkanes of intermediate size have only modest strain, and rings of 14 carbons or more are strain-free. Why is Baeyer's theory wrong?\n\nBaeyer's theory is wrong for the simple reason that he assumed all cycloalkanes to be flat. In fact, as we'll see in the next section, most cycloalkanes are not flat; instead, they adopt puckered three-dimensional conformations that allow bond angles to be nearly tetrahedral. As a result, angle strain occurs only in three- and fourmembered rings, which have little flexibility.

Bond angles that are too large or too small cause angle strain; bond lengths that are too short or too long cause stretching or compressing strain; unfavorable eclipsing interactions around single bonds cause torsional strain; and nonbonded atoms that approach each other too closely cause steric, or van der Waals, strain.\n\n$$\nE_{\\text {total }}=E_{\\mathrm{bond} \\text { stretching }}+E_{\\text {angle strain }}+E_{\\text {torsional strain }}+E_{\\text {van der Waals }}\n$$\n\n\n\nFIGURE 4.19 Computer programs make it possible to accurately represent molecular geometry.

After dozens or hundreds of iterations, the calculation ultimately converges on a minimum energy that corresponds to the most favorable, least strained conformation of the molecule.\n\nSimilar calculations have proven to be particularly useful in pharmaceutical research, where a complementary fit between a drug molecule and a receptor molecule in the body is often the key to designing new pharmaceutical agents (FIGURE 4.20).\n\n\nFIGURE 4.20 The structure of Tamiflu (oseltamivir), an antiviral agent active against type A influenza, along with a molecular model of its minimum-energy conformation as calculated by molecular mechanics."} {"id": 248, "contents": "Key Terms - \n- alicyclic\n- angle strain\n- axial position (cyclohexane)\n- boat cyclohexane\n- Bridgehead atom\n- chair conformation\n- cis-trans isomers\n- conformational analysis\n- cycloalkanes"} {"id": 249, "contents": "- 1,3-diaxial interaction - \n- Equatorial position (cyclohexane)\n- polycyclic molecule\n- ring-flip (cyclohexane)\n- stereoisomer\n- steric strain\n- torsional strain\n- twist-boat conformation"} {"id": 250, "contents": "Summary - \nCyclic molecules are so commonly encountered throughout organic and biological chemistry that it's important to understand the consequences of their cyclic structures.

In contrast to open-chain alkanes, where nearly free rotation occurs around $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{C}$ bonds, rotation is greatly reduced in cycloalkanes.

Cis-trans isomers are just one kind of stereoisomer-compounds that have the same connections between atoms but different threedimensional arrangements.\n\nNot all cycloalkanes are equally stable.

You can't take a chiral molecule and its enantiomer and place one on the other so that all atoms coincide.\n\nHow can you predict whether a given molecule is or is not chiral? A molecule is not chiral if it has a plane of symmetry. A plane of symmetry is a plane that cuts through the middle of a molecule (or any object) in such a way that one half of the molecule or object is a mirror image of the other half. A coffee mug, for example, has a plane of symmetry. If you were to cut the coffee mug in half from top to bottom, one half would be a mirror image of the other half. A hand, however, does not have a plane of symmetry. One \"half\" of a hand is not a mirror image of the other half (FIGURE 5.4).\n\n\nFIGURE 5.4 The meaning of symmetry plane. (a) An object like the coffee mug has a symmetry plane cutting through it so that right and left halves are mirror images. (b) An object like a hand has no symmetry plane; the right \"half\" of a hand is not a mirror image of the left half.\n\nA molecule that has a plane of symmetry in any conformation must be identical to its mirror image and must be nonchiral, or achiral. Thus, propanoic acid, $\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CH}_{2} \\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}$, has a plane of symmetry when lined up as shown in FIGURE 5.5 and is achiral, while lactic acid, $\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CH}(\\mathrm{OH}) \\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}$, has no plane of symmetry in any conformation\nand is chiral.\n\n\n\n\n\nFIGURE 5.5 The achiral propanoic acid molecule versus the chiral lactic acid molecule.

Such carbons are referred to as chirality centers, although other terms such as stereocenter, asymmetric center, and stereogenic center have also been used. Note that chirality is a property of the entire molecule, whereas a chirality center is the cause of chirality.\n\nDetecting a chirality center in a complex molecule takes practice because it's not always immediately apparent whether four different groups are bonded to a given carbon. The differences don't necessarily appear right next to the chirality center. For example, 5 -bromodecane is a chiral molecule because four different groups are bonded to C 5 , the chirality center (marked with an asterisk). A butyl substituent is similar to a pentyl substituent, but it isn't identical. The difference isn't apparent until looking four carbon atoms away from the chirality center, but there's still a difference.\n\n\nAs other possible examples, look at methylcyclohexane and 2-methylcyclohexanone. Methylcyclohexane is achiral because no carbon atom in the molecule is bonded to four different groups. You can immediately eliminate all $-\\mathrm{CH}_{2}$ - carbons and the $-\\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ carbon from consideration, but what about C 1 on the ring? The C 1 carbon atom is bonded to $\\mathrm{a}-\\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ group, to an -H atom, and to C 2 and C 6 of the ring. Carbons 2 and 6 are equivalent, however, as are carbons 3 and 5 . Thus, the C6-C5-C4 \"substituent\" is equivalent to the C2-C3-C4 substituent, and methylcyclohexane is achiral. Another way of reaching the same conclusion is to realize that methylcyclohexane has a symmetry plane, which passes through the methyl group and through C1 and C4 of the ring."} {"id": 270, "contents": "Lactic acid: a molecule of the general formula CHXYZ - 5.2 The Reason for Handedness in Molecules: Chirality\nThe situation is different for 2-methylcyclohexanone. 2-Methylcyclohexanone has no symmetry plane and is chiral because its C 2 is bonded to four different groups: $-\\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ group, an -H atom, $\\mathrm{a}-\\mathrm{COCH}_{2}-$ ring bond (C1), and a $-\\mathrm{CH}_{2} \\mathrm{CH}_{2}-$ ring bond (C3).\n\n\nSeveral more examples of chiral molecules are shown below.

A beam of ordinary light consists of electromagnetic waves that oscillate in an infinite number of planes at right angles to its direction of travel. When a beam of ordinary light passes through a device called a polarizer, however, only the light waves oscillating in a single plane pass through and the light is said to be plane-polarized. Light waves in all other planes are blocked out.\n\nBiot made the remarkable observation that when a beam of plane-polarized light passes through a solution of certain organic molecules, such as sugar or camphor, the plane of polarization is rotated through an angle, $\\alpha$. Not all organic substances exhibit this property, but those that do are said to be optically active.\n\nThe angle of rotation can be measured with an instrument called a polarimeter, represented in FIGURE 5.6. A solution of optically active organic molecules is placed in a sample tube, plane-polarized light is passed through the tube, and rotation of the polarization plane occurs. The light then goes through a second polarizer called the analyzer. By rotating the analyzer until the light passes through it, we can find the new plane of polarization and can tell to what extent rotation has occurred.\n\n\nFIGURE 5.6 Schematic representation of a polarimeter. Plane-polarized light passes through a solution of optically active molecules, which rotate the plane of polarization.\n\nIn addition to determining the extent of rotation, we can also find the direction. From the vantage point of the observer looking directly at the analyzer, some optically active molecules rotate polarized light to the left (counterclockwise) and are said to be levorotatory, whereas others rotate polarized light to the right (clockwise) and are said to be dextrorotatory. By convention, rotation to the left is given a minus sign (-) and rotation to the right is given a plus sign (+).

Furthermore, the two kinds of crystals were nonsuperimposable mirror images and were related in the same way that a right hand is related to a left hand.\n\nWorking carefully with tweezers, Pasteur was able to separate the crystals into two piles, one of \"right-handed\" crystals and one of \"left-handed\" crystals, like those shown in FIGURE 5.7. Although the original sample, a 50 : 50 mixture of right and left, was optically inactive, solutions of the crystals from each of the sorted piles were optically active and their specific rotations were equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.\n\n\n\nSodium ammonium tartrate\nFIGURE 5.7 Drawings of sodium ammonium tartrate crystals taken from Pasteur's original sketches.

It is no less certain that the atoms of the levo acid have precisely the inverse asymmetric arrangement.\" Pasteur's vision was extraordinary, for it was not until 25 years later that his ideas regarding asymmetric carbon atoms were confirmed.\n\nToday, we would describe Pasteur's work by saying that he had discovered enantiomers.

But what was the optically inactive form he started with? It couldn't have been meso-tartaric acid, because meso-tartaric acid is a different chemical compound and can't interconvert with the two chiral enantiomers without breaking and re-forming chemical bonds.\n\nThe answer is that Pasteur started with a $50: 50$ mixture of the two chiral tartaric acid enantiomers. Such a mixture is called a racemate (rass-uh-mate), or racemic mixture, and is denoted by either the symbol $( \\pm)$ or the prefix $d, l$ to indicate an equal mixture of dextrorotatory and levorotatory forms. Racemates show no optical rotation because the (+) rotation from one enantiomer exactly cancels the ( - ) rotation from the other.

Racemic fluoxetine is an effective antidepressant but has no activity against migraine. The pure $S$ enantiomer, however, works remarkably well in preventing migraine.

To have a biological effect, a substance typically must fit into an appropriate receptor that has a complementary shape. But because biological receptors are chiral, only one enantiomer of a chiral substrate can fit, just as only a right hand can fit into a right-handed glove. The mirror-image enantiomer will be a misfit, like a left hand in a right-handed glove.

When the green thumb and gray pinkie finger interact appropriately, the palm holds a blue substituent rather than a red one, with the red substituent exposed.\n\nThe hand-in-glove fit of a chiral substrate into a chiral receptor is relatively straightforward, but it's less obvious how a prochiral substrate can undergo a selective reaction.

The most common cause of chirality in organic molecules is the presence of a tetrahedral, $s p^{3}$-hybridized carbon atom bonded to four different groups-a so-called chirality center. Chiral compounds can exist as a pair of nonsuperimposable mirror-image stereoisomers called enantiomers. Enantiomers are identical in all physical properties except for the direction in which they rotate plane-polarized light.\n\nThe stereochemical configuration of a chirality center can be specified as either $\\boldsymbol{R}$ (rectus) or $\\boldsymbol{S}$ (sinister) by using the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules. First rank the four substituents on the chiral carbon atom, and then orient the molecule so that the lowest-ranked group points directly back.

All chemical reactions, whether they take place in the laboratory or in living organisms, follow the same \"rules.\" Reactions in living organisms often look more complex than laboratory reactions because of the size of the biomolecules and the involvement of biological catalysts called enzymes, but the principles governing all chemical reactions are the same.\n\nTo understand both organic and biological chemistry, it's necessary to know not just what occurs but also why and how chemical reactions take place. In this chapter, we'll start with an overview of the fundamental kinds of organic reactions, we'll see why reactions occur, and we'll see how reactions can be described. Once this\nbackground is out of the way, we'll then be ready to begin studying the details of organic chemistry in future chapters.\n\nWhen first approached, organic chemistry might seem overwhelming. It's not so much that any one part is difficult to understand, it's that there are so many parts: tens of millions of compounds, dozens of functional groups, and an apparently endless number of reactions. With study, though, it becomes evident that there are only a few fundamental ideas that underlie all organic reactions. Far from being a collection of isolated facts, organic chemistry is a beautifully logical subject that is unified by a few broad themes. When these themes are understood, learning organic chemistry becomes much easier and memorization is minimized. The aim of this book is to describe the themes and clarify the patterns that unify organic chemistry in future chapters."} {"id": 334, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 6.1 Kinds of Organic Reactions\nOrganic chemical reactions can be organized broadly in two ways-by what kinds of reactions occur and by how those reactions occur. Let's look first at the kinds of reactions that take place. There are four general types of organic reactions: additions, eliminations, substitutions, and rearrangements.\n\n- Addition reactions occur when two reactants add together to form a single product with no atoms \"left over.\" An example that we'll be studying soon is the reaction of an alkene, such as ethylene, with HBr to yield an alkyl bromide.\n\n- Elimination reactions are, in a sense, the opposite of addition reactions. They occur when a single reactant splits into two products, often with the formation of a small molecule such as water or HBr . An example is the acid-catalyzed reaction of an alcohol to yield water and an alkene."} {"id": 335, "contents": "This one - \nreactant...\n\nEthylene (an alkene)\n\n- Substitution reactions occur when two reactants exchange parts to give two new products. An example is the reaction of an ester such as methyl acetate with water to yield a carboxylic acid plus an alcohol. Similar reactions occur in many biological pathways, including the metabolism of dietary fats.\n\n- Rearrangement reactions occur when a single reactant undergoes a reorganization of bonds and atoms to yield an isomeric product. An example is the conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate into its constitutional isomer glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a step in the glycolysis pathway by which carbohydrates are metabolized.\n\n\nPROBLEM Classify each of the following reactions as an addition, elimination, substitution, or rearrangement:\n6-1 (a) $\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{Br}+\\mathrm{KOH} \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{OH}+\\mathrm{KBr}$\n(b) $\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CH}_{2} \\mathrm{Br} \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{CH}_{2}+\\mathrm{HBr}$\n(c) $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{CH}_{2}+\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CH}_{3}$"} {"id": 336, "contents": "This one - 6.2 How Organic Reactions Occur: Mechanisms\nHaving looked at the kinds of reactions that take place, let's now see how they occur. An overall description of how a reaction occurs is called a reaction mechanism. A mechanism describes in detail exactly what takes place at each stage of a chemical transformation-which bonds are broken and in what order, which bonds are formed and in what order, and what the relative rates are for each step. A complete mechanism must also account for all reactants used and all products formed.\n\nAll chemical reactions involve bond-breaking and bond-making. When two molecules come together, react, and yield products, specific bonds in the reactant molecules are broken and specific bonds in the product molecules are formed. Fundamentally, there are two ways in which a covalent two-electron bond can break. A bond can break in an electronically unsymmetrical way so that both bonding electrons remain with one product fragment, leaving the other with a vacant orbital, or a bond can break in an electronically symmetrical way so that one electron remains with each product fragment. The unsymmetrical cleavage is said to be heterolytic, and the symmetrical cleavage is said to be homolytic.\n\nWe'll develop this point in more detail later, but note for now that the movement of two electrons in the unsymmetrical process is indicated using a full-headed curved arrow ( $\\curvearrowright$ ), whereas the movement of one electron in the symmetrical process is indicated using a half-headed, or \"fishhook,\" arrow ( $\\AA$ ).\n\n\nJust as there are two ways in which a bond can break, there are two ways in which a covalent two-electron bond can form. A bond can form in an electronically unsymmetrical way if both bonding electrons are donated to the new bond by one reactant, or in a symmetrical way if one electron is donated by each reactant.\n\n\nProcesses that involve unsymmetrical bond-breaking and bond-making are called polar reactions. Polar reactions involve species that have an even number of electrons and thus have only electron pairs in their orbitals. Polar processes are by far the more common reaction type in both organic and biological chemistry, and a large part of this book is devoted to their description."} {"id": 337, "contents": "This one - 6.2 How Organic Reactions Occur: Mechanisms\nProcesses that involve symmetrical bond-breaking and bond-making are called radical reactions. A radical, often called a free radical, is a neutral chemical species that contains an odd number of electrons and thus has a single, unpaired electron in one of its orbitals.\n\nIn addition to polar and radical reactions, there is a third, less commonly encountered process called a pericyclic reaction. Rather than explain pericyclic reactions now, though, we'll look at them more carefully in Chapter 30."} {"id": 338, "contents": "This one - 6.3 Polar Reactions\nPolar reactions occur because of the electrical attraction between positively polarized and negatively polarized centers on functional groups in molecules. To see how these reactions take place, let's first recall the discussion of polar covalent bonds in Section 2.1 and then look more deeply into the effects of bond polarity on organic molecules.\n\nMost organic compounds are electrically neutral; they have no net charge, either positive or negative. We saw in Section 2.1, however, that certain bonds within a molecule, particularly the bonds in functional groups, are polar. Bond polarity is a consequence of an unsymmetrical electron distribution in a bond and is due to the difference in electronegativity of the bonded atoms.\n\nElements such as oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine, and chlorine are more electronegative than carbon, so a carbon atom bonded to one of these atoms has a partial positive charge ( $\\delta+$ ). Metals are less electronegative than carbon, so a carbon atom bonded to a metal has a partial negative charge ( $\\delta-$ ). Electrostatic potential maps of chloromethane and methyllithium illustrate these charge distributions, showing that the carbon atom in chloromethane is electron-poor (blue) while the carbon in methyllithium is electron-rich (red).\n\n\n\nChloromethane\n\n\nMethyllithium\n\n\nThe polarity patterns of some common functional groups are shown in TABLE 6.1. Note that carbon is always positively polarized except when bonded to a metal.\n\nTABLE 6.1 Polarity Patterns in Some Common Functional\nGroups\n\n| Compound type | Functional group structure |\n| :--- | :--- |\n| Alcohol | $\\_{\\mathrm{C}}^{\\mathrm{C+}-\\mathrm{O-}}$ |\n| Alkene | C= |\n\nSymmetrical, nonpolar"} {"id": 339, "contents": "This one - 6.3 Polar Reactions\nSymmetrical, nonpolar\n\n| Alkyl halide | [X]C(C)(C)C |\n| :---: | :---: |\n| Amine | $\\begin{aligned} & \\backslash \\delta+\\delta- \\\\ & -\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{NH}_{2} \\end{aligned}$ |\n| Ether | |\n| Thiol | CC(C)(C)[SnH3] |\n| Nitrile | $-{ }^{\\delta+} \\equiv{ }^{\\delta-} \\mathrm{N}$ |\n| Grignard reagent | |\n| Alkyllithium | CC(C)(C)[Te] |\n\n\n\nThis discussion of bond polarity is oversimplified in that we've considered only bonds that are inherently polar due to differences in electronegativity. Polar bonds can also result from the interaction of functional groups with acids or bases. Take an alcohol such as methanol, for example. In neutral methanol, the carbon atom is somewhat electron-poor because the electronegative oxygen attracts the electrons in the $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{O}$ bond. On protonation of the methanol oxygen by an acid, however, a full positive charge on oxygen attracts the electrons in the C-O bond much more strongly and makes the carbon much more electron-poor. We'll see numerous examples throughout this book of reactions that are catalyzed by acids because of the resultant increase in bond polarity upon protonation."} {"id": 340, "contents": "This one - 6.3 Polar Reactions\nMethanol-weakly\nelectron-poor carbon\nProtonated methanol-\nstrongly electron-poor carbon\nYet a further consideration is the polarizability (as opposed to polarity) of atoms in a molecule. As the electric field around a given atom changes because of changing interactions with solvent or other polar molecules nearby, the electron distribution around that atom also changes. The measure of this response to an external electrical influence is called the polarizability of the atom. Larger atoms with more loosely held electrons are more polarizable, and smaller atoms with fewer, tightly held electrons are less polarizable. Thus, sulfur is more polarizable than oxygen, and iodine is more polarizable than chlorine. The effect of this higher polarizability of sulfur and iodine is that carbon-sulfur and carbon-iodine bonds, although nonpolar according to electronegativity values (FIGURE 2.3), nevertheless usually react as if they were polar.\n\n\nWhat does functional-group polarity mean with respect to chemical reactivity? Because unlike charges attract, the fundamental characteristic of all polar organic reactions is that electron-rich sites react with electron-poor sites. Bonds are made when an electron-rich atom donates a pair of electrons to an electron-poor atom, and bonds are broken when one atom leaves with both electrons from the former bond.\n\nAs we saw in Section 2.11, the movement of an electron pair during a polar reaction is indicated using a curved, full-headed arrow to show where electrons move when reactant bonds are broken and product bonds are formed during the reaction."} {"id": 341, "contents": "This one - 6.3 Polar Reactions\nAs we saw in Section 2.11, the movement of an electron pair during a polar reaction is indicated using a curved, full-headed arrow to show where electrons move when reactant bonds are broken and product bonds are formed during the reaction.\n\n\nIn referring to the electron-rich and electron-poor species involved in polar reactions, chemists use the words nucleophile and electrophile. A nucleophile is a substance that is \"nucleus-loving.\" (Remember that a nucleus is positively charged.) A nucleophile has a negatively polarized, electron-rich atom and can form a bond by donating a pair of electrons to a positively polarized, electron-poor atom. Nucleophiles can be either neutral or negatively charged; ammonia, water, hydroxide ion, and chloride ion are examples. An electrophile, by contrast, is \"electron-loving.\" An electrophile has a positively polarized, electron-poor atom and can form a bond by accepting a pair of electrons from a nucleophile. Electrophiles can be either neutral or positively charged. Acids ( $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$donors), alkyl halides, and carbonyl compounds are examples (FIGURE 6.2).\n\n\nFIGURE 6.2 Some nucleophiles and electrophiles. Electrostatic potential maps identify the nucleophilic (negative) and electrophilic (positive) atoms.\n\nNote that neutral compounds can often react either as nucleophiles or as electrophiles, depending on the circumstances. After all, if a compound is neutral yet has an electron-rich nucleophilic site, it must also have a corresponding electron-poor electrophilic site. Water, for instance, acts as an electrophile when it donates $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$ but acts as a nucleophile when it donates a nonbonding pair of electrons. Similarly, a carbonyl compound acts as an electrophile when it reacts at its positively polarized carbon atom, yet acts as a nucleophile when it reacts at its negatively polarized oxygen atom."} {"id": 342, "contents": "This one - 6.3 Polar Reactions\nIf the definitions of nucleophiles and electrophiles sound similar to those given in Section 2.11 for Lewis acids and Lewis bases, that's because there is indeed a correlation. Lewis bases are electron donors and behave as nucleophiles, whereas Lewis acids are electron acceptors and behave as electrophiles. Thus, much of organic chemistry is explainable in terms of acid-base reactions.

In an exothermic reaction, more heat is released than is absorbed. But because making bonds in the products releases heat and breaking bonds in the reactants absorbs heat, the bonds in the products must be stronger than the bonds in the reactants. In other words, exothermic reactions are favored by products with strong bonds and by reactants with weak, easily broken bonds."} {"id": 369, "contents": "Equilibrium $\\rightarrow$ In what direction does the reaction proceed? - 6.8 Describing a Reaction: Bond Dissociation Energies\nSometimes, particularly in biochemistry, reactive substances that undergo highly exothermic reactions, such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate), are referred to as \"energy-rich\" or \"high-energy\" compounds. Such a label doesn't mean that ATP is special or different from other compounds, it only means that ATP has relatively weak bonds that require a relatively small amount of heat to break, thus leading to a larger release of heat when a strong new bond forms in a reaction.

A high activation energy results in a slow reaction because few collisions occur with enough energy for the reactants to reach the transition state. A low activation energy results in a rapid reaction because almost all collisions occur with enough energy for the reactants to reach the transition state.\n\nAs an analogy, you might think of reactants that need enough energy to climb the activation barrier to the transition state as hikers who need enough energy to climb to the top of a mountain pass.

If the pass is low, the hikers need less energy and reach the top easily."} {"id": 372, "contents": "Equilibrium $\\rightarrow$ In what direction does the reaction proceed? - 6.9 Describing a Reaction: Energy Diagrams and Transition States\nAs a rough generalization, many organic reactions have activation energies in the range 40 to $150 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$ ( $10-35 \\mathrm{kcal} / \\mathrm{mol}$ ). The reaction of ethylene with HBr , for example, has an activation energy of approximately $140 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}(34 \\mathrm{kcal} / \\mathrm{mol})$.

In comparing laboratory reactions with biological reactions, several differences are apparent. For one, laboratory reactions are usually carried out in an organic solvent such as diethyl ether or dichloromethane to dissolve the reactants and bring them into contact, whereas biological reactions occur in the aqueous medium within cells. For another, laboratory reactions often take place over a wide range of temperatures without catalysts, while biological reactions take place at the temperature of the organism and are catalyzed by enzymes.\n\nWe'll look at enzymes in more detail in Section 26.10, but you may already be aware that an enzyme is a large, globular, protein molecule that contains in its structure a protected pocket called its active site. The active site is lined by acidic or basic groups as needed for catalysis and has precisely the right shape to bind and hold a substrate molecule in the orientation necessary for reaction. FIGURE 6.10 shows a molecular model of hexokinase, along with an X-ray crystal structure of the glucose substrate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) bound in the active site. Hexokinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the initial step of glucose metabolism-the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to glucose, giving glucose 6-phosphate and ADP. The structures of ATP and ADP were shown at the end of Section 6.8.\n\n\nNote how the hexokinase-catalyzed phosphorylation reaction of glucose is written. It's common when writing biological equations to show only the structures of the primary reactant and product, while abbreviating the structures of various biological \"reagents\" and by-products such as ATP and ADP. A curved arrow intersecting the straight reaction arrow indicates that ATP is also a reactant and ADP also a product.\n\n\nFIGURE 6.10 Models of hexokinase in space-filling and wire-frame formats, showing the cleft that contains the active site where substrate binding and reaction catalysis occur.

In the hexokinase-catalyzed phosphorylation of glucose just shown, ATP is the coenzyme. As another example, compare the $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ molecule, a laboratory reagent that adds to a carbon-carbon double bond to yield an alkane, with the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) molecule, a coenzyme that effects an analogous addition of hydrogen to a double bond in many biological pathways.

When looking at biological molecules, focus on the small part of the molecule where the chemical change takes place.\n\nOne final difference between laboratory and biological reactions is in their specificity. A catalyst might be used in the laboratory to catalyze the reaction of thousands of different substances, but an enzyme, because it can only bind a specific substrate molecule having a specific shape, will usually catalyze only a specific reaction. It's this exquisite specificity that makes biological chemistry so remarkable and that makes life possible.

In this chapter, we've taken a brief look at the fundamental kinds of organic reactions, we've seen why reactions occur, and we've seen how reactions can be described.\n\nThere are four common kinds of reactions: addition reactions take place when two reactants add together to give a single product; elimination reactions take place when one reactant splits apart to give two products; substitution reactions take place when two reactants exchange parts to give two new products; and rearrangement reactions take place when one reactant undergoes a reorganization of bonds and atoms to give an isomeric product.\n\nA full description of how a reaction occurs is called its mechanism. There are two general kinds of mechanisms by which most reactions take place: radical mechanisms and polar mechanisms. Polar reactions, the more common type, occur because of an attractive interaction between a nucleophilic (electron-rich) site in one molecule and an electrophilic (electron-poor) site in another molecule. A bond is formed in a polar reaction when the nucleophile donates an electron pair to the electrophile. This transfer of electrons is indicated by a curved arrow showing the direction of electron travel from the nucleophile to the electrophile. Radical reactions involve species that have an odd number of electrons.

The situation is shown graphically in FIGURE 7.14, where the energy profile in part (a) represents the typical situation, as opposed to the profile in part (b). That is, the curves for two similar reactions don't cross one another.\n\n\nFIGURE 7.14 Energy diagrams for two similar competing reactions. In (a), the faster reaction yields the more stable intermediate. In (b), the slower reaction yields the more stable intermediate. The curves shown in (a) represent the typical situation.\n\nCalled the Hammond postulate, the explanation of the relationship between reaction rate and intermediate stability goes like this: Transition states represent energy maxima. They are high-energy activated complexes that occur transiently during the course of a reaction and immediately go on to a more stable species. Although we can't actually observe transition states because they have no finite lifetime, the Hammond postulate says that we can get an idea of a particular transition state's structure by looking at the structure of the nearest stable species. Imagine the two cases shown in FIGURE 7.15, for example. The reaction profile in part (a) shows the energy curve for an endergonic reaction step, and the profile in part (b) shows the curve for an exergonic step."} {"id": 439, "contents": "Stability - 7.10 The Hammond Postulate\nFIGURE 7.15 Energy diagrams for endergonic and exergonic steps. (a) In an endergonic step, the energy levels of transition state and product are closer. (b) In an exergonic step, the energy levels of transition state and reactant are closer.\n\nIn an endergonic reaction (FIGURE 7.15a), the energy level of the transition state is closer to that of the product than that of the reactant. Since the transition state is closer energetically to the product, we make the natural assumption that it's also closer structurally. In other words, the transition state for an endergonic reaction step structurally resembles the product of that step. Conversely, the transition state for an exergonic reaction (FIGURE 7.15b), is closer energetically, and thus structurally, to the reactant than to the product. We therefore say that the transition state for an exergonic reaction step structurally resembles the reactant for that step."} {"id": 440, "contents": "Hammond postulate: - \nThe structure of a transition state resembles the structure of the nearest stable species. Transition states for endergonic steps structurally resemble products, and transition states for exergonic steps structurally resemble reactants.\n\nHow does the Hammond postulate apply to electrophilic addition reactions? The formation of a carbocation by protonation of an alkene is an endergonic step. Thus, the transition state for alkene protonation structurally resembles the carbocation intermediate, and any factor that stabilizes the carbocation will also stabilize the nearby transition state. Since increasing alkyl substitution stabilizes carbocations, it also stabilizes the transition states leading to those ions, thus resulting in a faster reaction. In other words, more stable carbocations form faster because their greater stability is reflected in the lower-energy transition state leading to them (FIGURE 7.16).\n\n\nFIGURE 7.16 Energy diagrams for carbocation formation. The more stable tertiary carbocation is formed faster (green curve) because its increased stability lowers the energy of the transition state leading to it.\n\nWe can imagine the transition state for alkene protonation to be a structure in which one of the alkene carbon atoms has almost completely rehybridized from $s p^{2}$ to $s p^{3}$ and the remaining alkene carbon bears much of the positive charge (FIGURE 7.17). This transition state is stabilized by hyperconjugation and inductive effects in the same way as the product carbocation. The more alkyl groups that are present, the greater the extent of stabilization and the faster the transition state forms.\n\n\nFIGURE 7.17 The hypothetical structure of a transition state for alkene protonation. The transition state is closer in both energy and structure to the carbocation than to the alkene.

The answer is that we don't know it's correct; at least we don't know with complete certainty. Although an incorrect reaction mechanism can be disproved by demonstrating that it doesn't account for observed data, a correct reaction mechanism can never be entirely proven. The best we can do is to show that a proposed mechanism is consistent with all known facts. If enough facts are accounted for, the mechanism is probably correct.\n\nOne of the best pieces of evidence supporting the carbocation mechanism for the electrophilic addition reaction was discovered during the 1930s by F. C. Whitmore of Pennsylvania State University, who found that structural rearrangements often occur during the reaction of HX with an alkene. For example, reaction of HCl with 3 -methyl-1-butene yields a substantial amount of 2 -chloro-2-methylbutane in addition to the \"expected\" product, 2-chloro-3-methylbutane.\n\n\nIf the reaction takes place in a single step, it would be difficult to account for rearrangement, but if the reaction takes place in several steps, rearrangement is more easily explained. Whitmore suggested that it is a carbocation intermediate that undergoes rearrangement. The secondary carbocation intermediate formed by protonation of 3-methyl-1-butene rearranges to a more stable tertiary carbocation by a hydride shift-the shift of a hydrogen atom and its electron pair (a hydride ion, $: \\mathrm{H}^{-}$) between neighboring carbons.\n\n\n2-Chloro-3-methylbutane\n2-Chloro-2-methylbutane\nCarbocation rearrangements can also occur by the shift of an alkyl group with its electron pair. For example, reaction of 3,3-dimethyl-1-butene with HCl leads to an equal mixture of unrearranged 3 -chloro-2,2-dimethylbutane and rearranged 2 -chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane. In this instance, a secondary carbocation rearranges to a more stable tertiary carbocation by the shift of a methyl group."} {"id": 443, "contents": "Hammond postulate: - 7.11 Evidence for the Mechanism of Electrophilic Additions: Carbocation Rearrangements\n3-Chloro-2,2-dimethylbutane 2-Chloro-2,3-dimethylbutane\nNote the similarities between the two carbocation rearrangements: in both cases, a group (: $\\mathrm{H}^{-}$or : $\\mathrm{CH}_{3}{ }^{-}$) moves to an adjacent positively charged carbon, taking its bonding electron pair with it. Also in both cases, a less stable carbocation rearranges to a more stable ion. Rearrangements of this kind are a common feature of carbocation chemistry and are particularly important in the biological pathways by which steroids and related substances are synthesized. An example is the following hydride shift that occurs during the biosynthesis of cholesterol.\n\n\nAs always, when looking at any complex chemical transformation, whether biochemical or not, focus on the part of the molecule where the change is occurring and don't worry about the rest. The tertiary carbocation just pictured looks complicated, but all the chemistry is taking place in the small part of the molecule inside the red circle.\n\nPROBLEM On treatment with HBr , vinylcyclohexane undergoes addition and rearrangement to yield\n7-21 1-bromo-1-ethylcyclohexane.

In this chapter, we've looked at some consequences of alkene stereoisomerism and at the details of the broadest class of alkene reactions-the electrophilic addition reaction.\n\nAn alkene is a hydrocarbon that contains a carbon-carbon double bond. Because they contain fewer hydrogens than alkanes with the same number of carbons, alkenes are said to be unsaturated.\n\nBecause rotation around the double bond can't occur, substituted alkenes can exist as cis-trans stereoisomers. The configuration of a double bond can be specified by applying the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog sequence rules, which rank the substituents on each double-bond carbon. If the higher-ranking groups on each carbon are on the same side of the double bond, the configuration is $\\boldsymbol{Z}$ (zusammen, \"together\"); if the higher-ranking groups on each carbon are on opposite sides of the double bond, the configuration is $\\boldsymbol{E}$ (entgegen, \"apart\").\n\nAlkene chemistry is dominated by electrophilic addition reactions. When HX reacts with an unsymmetrically substituted alkene, Markovnikov's rule predicts that the $H$ will add to the carbon having fewer alkyl substituents and the X group will add to the carbon having more alkyl substituents.

This result is explained by the Hammond postulate, which says that the transition state of an exergonic reaction step structurally resembles the reactant, whereas the transition state of an endergonic reaction step structurally resembles the product. Since an alkene protonation step is endergonic, the stability of the more highly substituted carbocation is reflected in the stability of the transition state leading to its formation.\n\nEvidence in support of a carbocation mechanism for electrophilic additions comes from the observation that structural rearrangements often take place during reaction. Rearrangements occur by shift of either a hydride ion, : $\\mathrm{H}^{-}$(a hydride shift), or an alkyl anion, $: \\mathrm{R}^{-}$, from a carbon atom to the neighboring positively charged carbon.

The subject is a bit complex, though, so we'll return to it in Chapter 11 for a more detailed study. For the present, it's enough to realize that alkenes are readily available from simple precursors-usually alcohols in biological systems and either alcohols or alkyl halides in the laboratory.\n\nJust as the chemistry of alkenes is dominated by addition reactions, the preparation of alkenes is dominated by elimination reactions. Additions and eliminations are, in many respects, two sides of the same coin. That is, an addition reaction might involve the addition of HBr or $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$ to an alkene to form an alkyl halide or alcohol, whereas an elimination reaction might involve the loss of HBr or $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$ from an alkyl halide or alcohol to form an alkene.\n\n\nThe two most common elimination reactions are dehydrohalogenation-the loss of HX from an alkyl halide-and dehydration-the loss of water from an alcohol. Dehydrohalogenation usually occurs by reaction of an alkyl halide with strong base such as potassium hydroxide. For example, bromocyclohexane yields cyclohexene when treated with KOH in ethanol solution.\n\n\nBromocyclohexane Cyclohexene (81\\%)\nDehydration is often carried out in the laboratory by treatment of an alcohol with a strong acid. For example, when 1-methylcyclohexanol is warmed with aqueous sulfuric acid in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent, loss of\nwater occurs and 1-methylcyclohexene is formed.\n\n\n1-Methylcyclohexanol\n1-Methylcyclohexene (91\\%)"} {"id": 464, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 8.1 Preparing Alkenes: A Preview of Elimination Reactions\n1-Methylcyclohexanol\n1-Methylcyclohexene (91\\%)\n\n\nIn biological pathways, dehydrations rarely occur with isolated alcohols.

In particular, it doesn't explain the stereochemistry of the addition reaction. That is, the mechanism doesn't account for which product stereoisomer is formed.\n\nWhen the halogenation reaction is carried out on a cycloalkene, such as cyclopentene, only the trans stereoisomer of the dihalide addition product is formed, rather than the mixture of cis and trans isomers that might have been expected if a planar carbocation intermediate were involved. We say that the reaction occurs with anti stereochemistry, meaning that the two bromine atoms come from opposite faces of the double bond-one from the top face and one from the bottom face.\n\n\nAn explanation for the observed stereochemistry of addition was suggested in 1937 by George Kimball and Irving Roberts, who proposed that the reaction intermediate is not a carbocation but is instead a bromonium ion, $\\mathbf{R}_{\\mathbf{2}} \\mathbf{B r}^{+}$, formed by electrophilic addition of $\\mathrm{Br}^{+}$to the alkene.

If a bromonium ion is formed as an intermediate, we can imagine that the large bromine atom might \"shield\" one side of the molecule.

Subsequently, strong evidence supporting the mechanism came from the work of George Olah at the University of Southern California, who prepared and studied stable solutions of cyclic bromonium ions in liquid $\\mathrm{SO}_{2}$. There's no question that bromonium ions exist.\n\n\nAlkene halogenation reactions occur in nature just as they do in the laboratory but are limited primarily to marine organisms living in halide-rich environments.

Nucleophilic addition of water as in halohydrin formation, followed by the loss of a proton, then yields a stable organomercury product. The final step, demercuration of the organomercury compound by reaction with sodium borohydride, is complex and involves radicals. Note that the regiochemistry of the reaction corresponds to Markovnikov addition of water; that is, the - OH group attaches to the more highly substituted carbon atom, and the -H attaches to the less highly substituted carbon.

If water is present during the halogen addition reaction, a halohydrin is formed.\n\nHydration of an alkene-the addition of water-is carried out by either of two procedures, depending on the product desired. Oxymercuration-demercuration involves electrophilic addition of $\\mathrm{Hg}^{2+}$ to an alkene, followed by trapping of the cation intermediate with water and subsequent treatment with $\\mathrm{NaBH}_{4}$. Hydroboration involves addition of borane $\\left(\\mathrm{BH}_{3}\\right)$ followed by oxidation of the intermediate organoborane with alkaline $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}$. The two hydration methods are complementary: oxymercuration-demercuration gives the product of Markovnikov addition, whereas hydroboration-oxidation gives the product with non-Markovnikov syn stereochemistry."} {"id": 512, "contents": "Summary - \nAlkenes are reduced by addition of $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ in the presence of a catalyst such as platinum or palladium to yield alkanes, a process called catalytic hydrogenation. Alkenes are also oxidized by reaction with a peroxyacid to give epoxides, which can be converted into trans-1,2-diols by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis. The corresponding cis-1,2-diols can be made directly from alkenes by hydroxylation with $\\mathrm{OsO}_{4}$. Alkenes can also be cleaved to produce carbonyl compounds by reaction with ozone, followed by reduction with zinc metal. In addition, alkenes react with divalent substances called carbenes, $\\mathbf{R}_{\\mathbf{2}} \\mathbf{C}$ :, to give cyclopropanes. Nonhalogenated cyclopropanes are best prepared by treatment of the alkene with $\\mathrm{CH}_{2} \\mathrm{I}_{2}$ and zinc-copper, a process called the Simmons-Smith reaction.\n\nAlkene polymers-large molecules resulting from repetitive bonding of many hundreds or thousands of small monomer units-are formed by chain-reaction polymerization of simple alkenes. Polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are examples. As a general rule, radical addition reactions are not common in the laboratory but occur frequently in biological pathways.\n\nMany reactions give chiral products.

Alkynes are less common than alkenes, both in the laboratory and in living organisms, so we won't cover them in great detail. The real importance of this chapter is that we'll use alkyne chemistry as a vehicle to begin looking at some of the general strategies used in organic synthesis-the construction of complex molecules in the laboratory. Without the ability to design and synthesize new molecules in the laboratory, many of the medicines we take for granted would not exist and few new ones would be made.\n\nAn alkyne is a hydrocarbon that contains a carbon-carbon triple bond. Acetylene, $\\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{C} \\equiv \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$, the simplest alkyne, was once widely used in industry as a starting material for the preparation of acetaldehyde, acetic acid, vinyl chloride, and other high-volume chemicals, but more efficient routes to these substances using ethylene as starting material are now available.

Polyynes with up to eight triple bonds are thought to be present in interstellar space, and evidence has been presented for the existence of carbyne, an allotrope of carbon consisting of alternating single and triple bonds in long chains of indefinite length.

Treatment of a 1,2-dihaloalkane (called a vicinal dihalide) with an excess amount of a strong base such as KOH or $\\mathrm{NaNH}_{2}$ results in a twofold elimination of HX and formation of an alkyne. As with the elimination of HX to form an alkene, we'll defer a full discussion of this topic and the relevant reaction mechanisms to Chapter 11.\n\nThe starting vicinal dihalides are themselves readily available by addition of $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ or $\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ to alkenes. Thus, the overall halogenation/dehydrohalogenation sequence makes it possible to go from an alkene to an alkyne. For example, diphenylethylene is converted into diphenylacetylene by reaction with $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ and subsequent base treatment.\n\n\nThe twofold dehydrohalogenation takes place through a vinylic halide intermediate, which suggests that vinylic halides themselves should give alkynes when treated with strong base. (A vinylic substituent is one that is attached to a double-bond.) This is indeed the case. For example:"} {"id": 532, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 9.3 Reactions of Alkynes: Addition of HX and $\\mathrm{X}_{2}$\nYou might recall from Section 1.9 that a carbon-carbon triple bond results from the interaction of two $s p$-hybridized carbon atoms. The two $s p$ hybrid orbitals of carbon lie at an angle of $180^{\\circ}$ to each other along an axis perpendicular to the axes of the two unhybridized $2 p_{\\mathrm{y}}$ and $2 p_{\\mathrm{z}}$ orbitals. When two $s p$-hybridized carbons approach each other, one $s p-s p \\sigma$ bond and two $p-p \\pi$ bonds are formed. The two remaining $s p$ orbitals form bonds to other atoms at an angle of $180^{\\circ}$ from the carbon-carbon bond. Thus, acetylene is a linear molecule with $\\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{C} \\equiv \\mathrm{C}$ bond angles of $180^{\\circ}$ (FIGURE 9.2). The length of the $\\mathrm{C} \\equiv \\mathrm{C}$ bond is 120 pm , and its strength is approximately $965 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}(231 \\mathrm{kcal} / \\mathrm{mol})$, making it the shortest and strongest known carbon-carbon bond.\n\n\nFIGURE 9.2 The structure of acetylene, $\\mathbf{H}-\\mathbf{C} \\equiv \\mathbf{C}-\\mathbf{H}$.

Take the reaction of alkynes with HX, for instance. The reaction often can be stopped with the addition of 1 equivalent of HX, but reaction with an excess of HX leads to a dihalide product. For example, reaction of 1-hexyne with 2 equivalents of HBr yields 2,2-dibromohexane. As the following examples indicate, the regiochemistry of addition follows Markovnikov's rule, with halogen adding to the more highly substituted side of the alkyne bond\nand hydrogen adding to the less highly substituted side.

If HBr were to add by the same mechanism to an alkyne, an analogous vinylic carbocation would be formed as the intermediate.\n\n\nA vinylic carbocation has an $s p$-hybridized carbon and generally forms less readily than an alkyl carbocation (FIGURE 9.3). As a rule, a secondary vinylic carbocation forms about as readily as a primary alkyl carbocation, but a primary vinylic carbocation is so difficult to form that there is no clear evidence it even exists.

There are many reasons for carrying out the laboratory synthesis of an organic compound. In the pharmaceutical industry, new molecules are designed and synthesized in the hope that some might be useful new drugs. In the chemical industry, syntheses are done to devise more economical routes to known compounds. In academic laboratories, the synthesis of extremely complex molecules is sometimes done just for the intellectual challenge involved in mastering so difficult a subject. The successful synthesis route is a highly creative work that is sometimes described by such subjective terms as elegant or beautiful.\n\nIn this book, too, we will often devise syntheses of molecules from simpler precursors, but the purpose here is to learn. The ability to plan a successful multistep synthetic sequence requires a working knowledge of the uses and limitations of many different organic reactions. Furthermore, it requires the practical ability to piece together the steps in a sequence such that each reaction does only what is desired without causing changes elsewhere in the molecule. Planning a synthesis makes you approach a chemical problem in a logical way, draw on your knowledge of chemical reactions, and organize that knowledge into a workable plan-it helps you learn organic chemistry.\n\nThere's no secret to planning an organic synthesis: all it takes is a knowledge of the different reactions and some practice. The only real trick is to work backward in what is often called a retrosynthetic direction. Don't look at a potential starting material and ask yourself what reactions it might undergo. Instead, look at the final product and ask, \"What was the immediate precursor of that product?\" For example, if the final product is an alkyl halide, the immediate precursor might be an alkene, to which you could add HX. If the final product is a cis alkene, the immediate precursor might be an alkyne, which you could hydrogenate using the Lindlar catalyst. Having found an immediate precursor, work backward again, one step at a time, until you get back to the starting material.

Alkyne carbon atoms are $s p$-hybridized, and the triple bond consists of one $s p-s p \\sigma$ bond and two $p-p \\pi$ bonds. There are relatively few general methods of alkyne synthesis. Two favorable ones are the alkylation of an acetylide anion with a primary alkyl halide and the twofold elimination of HX from a vicinal dihalide.\n\nThe chemistry of alkynes is dominated by electrophilic addition reactions, similar to those of alkenes. Alkynes react with HBr and HCl to yield vinylic halides and with $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ and $\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ to yield 1,2-dihalides (vicinal dihalides). Alkynes can be hydrated by reaction with aqueous sulfuric acid in the presence of mercury(II) catalyst. The reaction leads to an intermediate enol that immediately tautomerizes to yield a ketone.

Alternatively, hydroboration-oxidation of a terminal alkyne yields an aldehyde.\n\nAlkynes can be reduced to yield alkenes and alkanes.

Alkyl halides are encountered less frequently than their oxygen-containing relatives and are not often involved in the biochemical pathways of terrestrial organisms, but some of the kinds of reactions they undergo-nucleophilic substitutions and eliminations-are encountered frequently. Thus, alkyl halide chemistry is a relatively simple model for many mechanistically similar but structurally more complex reactions found in biomolecules. We'll begin this chapter with a look at how to name and prepare alkyl halides, and we'll see several of their reactions. Then, in the next chapter, we'll make a detailed study of the substitution and elimination reactions of alkyl halides-two of the most important and well-studied reaction types in organic chemistry.\n\nNow that we've covered the chemistry of hydrocarbons, it's time to start looking at more complex substances that contain elements in addition to C and H . We'll begin by discussing the chemistry of organohalides,\ncompounds that contain one or more halogen atoms.\nHalogen-substituted organic compounds are widespread in nature, and more than 5000 organohalides have been found in algae and various other marine organisms. Chloromethane, for instance, is released in large amounts by ocean kelp, as well as by forest fires and volcanoes. Halogen-containing compounds also have an array of industrial applications, including their use as solvents, inhaled anesthetics in medicine, refrigerants, and pesticides.\n\n\nTrichloroethylene (a solvent)\n\n\nHalothane (an inhaled anesthetic)\n\n\nTetrafluoropropene (a refrigerant)\n\n\nBromomethane (a fumigant)"} {"id": 583, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - \nTrichloroethylene (a solvent)\n\n\nHalothane (an inhaled anesthetic)\n\n\nTetrafluoropropene (a refrigerant)\n\n\nBromomethane (a fumigant)\n\nStill other halo-substituted compounds are used as medicines and food additives.

The detailed mechanism is shown in FIGURE 10.2 for chlorination.\nInitiation step\n$\\begin{aligned} & \\text { Propagation steps } \\\\ & \\text { (a repeating cycle) }\\end{aligned}$\n\n\n\nFIGURE 10.2 Mechanism of the radical chlorination of methane. Three kinds of steps are required in radical substitution reactions: initiation, propagation, and termination. The propagation steps are a repeating cycle, with $\\mathrm{Cl} \\cdot$ a reactant in step 1 and a product in step 2 , and with $\\cdot \\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ a product in step 1 and a reactant in step 2 . The symbol hv shown in the initiation step is the standard way of indicating irradiation with light ( $v$ is the lowercase Greek letter nu).\n\nRadical substitution reactions require three kinds of steps: initiation, propagation, and termination. Once an initiation step has started the process by producing radicals, the reaction continues in a self-sustaining cycle. The cycle requires two repeating propagation steps in which a radical, the halogen, and the alkane yield alkyl halide product plus more radical to carry on the chain. The chain is occasionally terminated by the combination of two radicals.\n\nUnfortunately, alkane halogenation is a poor synthetic method for preparing alkyl halides because mixtures of products invariably result. For example, chlorination of methane does not stop cleanly at the monochlorinated stage but continues to give a mixture of dichloro, trichloro, and even tetrachloro products.\n\n\nThe situation is even worse for chlorination of alkanes that have more than one kind of hydrogen. Chlorination of butane, for instance, gives two monochlorinated products in a $30: 70$ ratio in addition to multiply chlorinated products such as dichlorobutane, trichlorobutane, and so on."} {"id": 588, "contents": "substituent that has alphabetical precedence. - 10.2 Preparing Alkyl Halides from Alkanes: Radical Halogenation\nAs another example, 2-methylpropane yields 2-chloro-2-methylpropane and 1-chloro-2-methylpropane in a $35: 65$ ratio, along with more highly chlorinated products.\n\n\nFrom these and similar reactions, it's possible to calculate a reactivity order toward chlorination for different kinds of hydrogen atoms in a molecule. Take the butane chlorination, for instance. Butane has six equivalent primary hydrogens $\\left(-\\mathrm{CH}_{3}\\right)$ and four equivalent secondary hydrogens $\\left(-\\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\\right)$. The fact that butane yields $30 \\%$ of 1-chlorobutane product means that each one of the six primary hydrogens is responsible for $30 \\% \\div 6=5 \\%$ of the product. Similarly, the fact that $70 \\%$ of 2 -chlorobutane is formed means that each of the four secondary hydrogens is responsible for $70 \\% \\div 4=17.5 \\%$ of the product. Thus, a secondary hydrogen reacts $17.5 \\% \\div 5 \\%=$ 3.5 times as often as a primary hydrogen.\n\nA similar calculation for the chlorination of 2-methylpropane indicates that each of the nine primary hydrogens accounts for $65 \\% \\div 9=7.2 \\%$ of the product, while the single tertiary hydrogen ( $\\mathrm{R}_{3} \\mathrm{CH}$ ) accounts for $35 \\%$ of the product.

The hydrogen halides HCl , HBr , and HI react with alkenes by a polar mechanism to give the product of Markovnikov addition. Bromine and chlorine undergo anti addition through halonium ion intermediates to give 1,2-dihalogenated products.\n\n\nAnother laboratory method for preparing alkyl halides from alkenes is by reaction with $N$-bromosuccinimide (abbreviated NBS), in the presence of ultraviolet light, to give products resulting from substitution of hydrogen by bromine at the position next to the double bond-the allylic position. Cyclohexene, for example, gives 3-bromocyclohexene.\n\n\nThis allylic bromination with NBS is analogous to the alkane chlorination reaction discussed in the previous section and occurs by a radical chain-reaction pathway (FIGURE 10.3). As in alkane halogenation, a Br\u2022 radical abstracts an allylic hydrogen atom, forming an allylic radical plus HBr . The HBr then reacts with NBS to form $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$, which in turn reacts with the allylic radical to yield the brominated product and a $\\mathrm{Br} \\cdot$ radical that cycles back into the first step and carries on the chain.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.3 Mechanism of allylic bromination of an alkene with NBS. The process is a radical chain reaction in which (1) a $\\mathrm{Br} \\cdot \\mathrm{radical}$ abstracts an allylic hydrogen atom of the alkene and gives an allylic radical plus HBr . (2) The HBr then reacts with NBS to form $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$, which (3) reacts with the allylic radical to yield the bromoalkene product and a $\\mathrm{Br} \\cdot$ radical that continues the chain."} {"id": 591, "contents": "hydrogen.) - 10.3 Preparing Alkyl Halides from Alkenes: Allylic Bromination\nWhy does bromination with NBS occur exclusively at an allylic position rather than elsewhere in the molecule? The answer, once again, is found by looking at bond dissociation energies to see the relative stabilities of various\nkinds of radicals. Although a typical secondary alkyl C-H bond has a strength of about $410 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}(98 \\mathrm{kcal} / \\mathrm{mol})$ and a typical vinylic $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond has a strength of $465 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$ ( $111 \\mathrm{kcal} / \\mathrm{mol}$ ), an allylic $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond has a strength of only about $370 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}(88 \\mathrm{kcal} / \\mathrm{mol})$. An allylic radical is therefore more stable than a typical alkyl radical with the same substitution by about $40 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}(9 \\mathrm{kcal} / \\mathrm{mol})$.\n\n\nWe can thus expand the stability ordering to include vinylic and allylic radicals."} {"id": 592, "contents": "hydrogen.) - 10.4 Stability of the Allyl Radical: Resonance Revisited\nTo see why an allylic radical is so stable, look at the orbital picture in FIGURE 10.4. The radical carbon atom with an unpaired electron can adopt $s p^{2}$ hybridization, placing the unpaired electron in a $p$ orbital and giving a structure that is electronically symmetrical. The $p$ orbital on the central carbon can therefore overlap equally well with a $p$ orbital on either of the two neighboring carbons.\n\n\n\nFIGURE 10.4 An orbital view of the allyl radical. The $p$ orbital on the central carbon can overlap equally well with a $p$ orbital on either neighboring carbon, giving rise to two equivalent resonance structures.\n\nBecause the allyl radical is electronically symmetrical, it has two resonance forms-one with the unpaired electron on the left and the double bond on the right and another with the unpaired electron on the right and the double bond on the left. Neither structure is correct by itself; the true structure of the allyl radical is a resonance hybrid of the two. (You might want to review Section 2.4 to Section 2.6 to brush up on resonance.) As noted in Section 2.5, the greater the number of resonance forms, the greater the stability of a compound, because bonding electrons are attracted to more nuclei. An allyl radical, with two resonance forms, is therefore more stable than a typical alkyl radical, which has only a single structure.\n\nIn molecular orbital terms, the stability of the allyl radical is due to the fact that the unpaired electron is delocalized, or spread out, over an extended $\\pi$-orbital network rather than localized at only one site, as shown\nby the computer-generated MO in FIGURE 10.4. This delocalization is particularly apparent in the so-called spin-density surface in FIGURE 10.5, which shows the calculated location of the unpaired electron. The two terminal carbons share the unpaired electron equally.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.5 The spin density surface of the allyl radical locates the position of the unpaired electron and shows that it is equally shared between the two terminal carbons."} {"id": 593, "contents": "hydrogen.) - 10.4 Stability of the Allyl Radical: Resonance Revisited\nFIGURE 10.5 The spin density surface of the allyl radical locates the position of the unpaired electron and shows that it is equally shared between the two terminal carbons.\n\nIn addition to its effect on stability, delocalization of the unpaired electron in the allyl radical has other chemical consequences. Because the unpaired electron is delocalized over both ends of the $\\pi$ orbital system, reaction with $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ can occur at either end. As a result, allylic bromination of an unsymmetrical alkene often leads to a mixture of products. For example, bromination of 1-octene gives a mixture of 3-bromo-1-octene and 1-bromo-2-octene. The two products are not formed in equal amounts, however, because the intermediate allylic radical is not symmetrical and reaction at the two ends is not equally likely. Reaction at the less hindered, primary end is favored.\n\n\nThe products of allylic bromination reactions are useful for conversion into dienes by dehydrohalogenation with base.

We'll begin with substitution reactions.\n\nWe saw in the preceding chapter that the carbon-halogen bond in an alkyl halide is polar and that the carbon atom is electron-poor. Thus, alkyl halides are electrophiles, and much of their chemistry involves polar reactions with nucleophiles and bases.

Walden found that the pure enantiomeric (+)- and ( - )-malic acids could be interconverted through a series of simple substitution reactions. When Walden treated (-)-malic acid with $\\mathrm{PCl}_{5}$, he isolated (+)-chlorosuccinic acid. This, on treatment with wet $\\mathrm{Ag}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$, gave (+)-malic acid. Similarly, reaction of $(+)$-malic acid with $\\mathrm{PCl}_{5}$ gave (-)-chlorosuccinic acid, which was converted into (-)-malic acid when treated with wet $\\mathrm{Ag}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$.

The eminent chemist Emil Fischer called Walden's discovery \"the most remarkable observation made in the field of optical activity since the fundamental observations of Pasteur.\" Because (-)-malic acid was converted into (+)-malic acid, some reactions in the cycle must have occurred with a change, or inversion, of configuration at the chirality center. But which ones, and how? (Remember from Section 5.5 that the direction of light rotation and the configuration of a chirality center aren't directly related. You can't tell by looking at the sign of rotation whether a change in configuration has occurred during a reaction.)"} {"id": 626, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 11.1 The Discovery of Nucleophilic Substitution Reactions\nToday, we refer to the transformations taking place in Walden's cycle as nucleophilic substitution reactions because each step involves the substitution of one nucleophile (chloride ion, $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$, or hydroxide ion, $\\mathrm{HO}^{-}$) by another. Nucleophilic substitution reactions are one of the most common and versatile reaction types in organic chemistry.\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{R}-\\mathrm{X}+\\mathrm{Nu}:^{-} \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{R}-\\mathrm{Nu}+\\mathrm{X}:^{-}\n$$\n\nFollowing the work of Walden, further investigations were undertaken during the 1920s and 1930s to clarify the mechanism of nucleophilic substitution reactions and to find out how inversions of configuration occur. Among the first series studied was one that interconverted the two enantiomers of 1-phenyl-2-propanol (FIGURE 11.3). Although this particular series of reactions involves nucleophilic substitution of an alkyl para-toluenesulfonate (called a tosylate) rather than an alkyl halide, exactly the same type of reaction is involved as that studied by Walden. For all practical purposes, the entire tosylate group acts as if it were simply a halogen substituent. (In fact, when you see a tosylate substituent in a molecule, do a mental substitution and tell yourself that you're\ndealing with an alkyl halide.)\n\n\nFIGURE 11.3 A Walden cycle interconverting (+) and (-) enantiomers of 1-phenyl-2-propanol.

Step 1, formation of a tosylate, occurs by breaking the $\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond of the alcohol rather than the $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{O}$ bond to the chiral carbon, so the configuration around the carbon is unchanged. Similarly, step 3, hydroxide-ion cleavage of the acetate, takes place without breaking the $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{O}$ bond at the chirality center. Thus, the inversion of stereochemical configuration must take place in step 2, the nucleophilic substitution of tosylate ion by acetate ion.\n\n\nFrom this and nearly a dozen other series of similar reactions, researchers concluded that the nucleophilic substitution reaction of a primary or secondary alkyl halide or tosylate always proceeds with inversion of configuration.

Similarly, if we double the concentration of $\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{Br}$, the reaction rate again doubles. We call such a reaction, in which the rate is linearly dependent on the concentrations of two species, a second-order reaction. Mathematically, we can express this second-order dependence of the nucleophilic substitution reaction by setting up a rate equation.

As the nucleophile comes in on one side of the substrate and bonds to the carbon, the halide or tosylate departs from the other side, thereby inverting the stereochemical configuration.

This occurs through a transition state in which the new $\\mathrm{Nu}-\\mathrm{C}$ bond is partially formed at the same time that the old $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{X}$ bond is partially broken and in which the negative charge is shared by both the incoming nucleophile and the outgoing halide ion.

Electrostatic potential maps show that negative charge is delocalized in the transition state.\n\nThe mechanism proposed by Hughes and Ingold is fully consistent with experimental results, explaining both stereochemical and kinetic data. Thus, the requirement for a backside approach of the entering nucleophile ( $180^{\\circ}$ away from the departing X group) causes the stereochemistry of the substrate to invert, much like an umbrella turning inside-out in the wind.

Some $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 2$ reactions are fast, and some are slow; some take place in high yield and others in low yield. Understanding the factors involved can be of tremendous value. Let's begin by recalling a few things about reaction rates in general.\n\nThe rate of a chemical reaction is determined by the activation energy $\\Delta G^{\\ddagger}$, the energy difference between reactant ground state and transition state. A change in reaction conditions can affect $\\Delta G^{\\ddagger}$ either by changing the reactant energy level or by changing the transition-state energy level. Lowering the reactant energy or raising the transition-state energy increases $\\Delta G^{\\ddagger}$ and decreases the reaction rate; raising the reactant energy or\ndecreasing the transition-state energy decreases $\\Delta G^{\\ddagger}$ and increases the reaction rate (FIGURE 11.6).

In other words, the transition state for reaction of a sterically hindered substrate, whose carbon atom is \"shielded\" from the approach of the incoming nucleophile, is higher in energy and forms more slowly than the corresponding transition state for a less hindered substrate (FIGURE 11.7).\n(a)\n\n\n(c)\n\n(b)\n\n\n\n(d)\n\n\n\nFIGURE 11.7 Steric hindrance to the $\\mathbf{S}_{\\mathbf{N}} \\mathbf{2}$ reaction.

Two such geometries are possible: syn periplanar geometry, in which the H and the X are on the same side of the molecule, and anti periplanar geometry, in which the H and the X are on opposite sides of the molecule. Of the two, anti periplanar geometry is energetically preferred because it allows the substituents on the two carbons to adopt a staggered relationship, whereas syn geometry requires that the substituents be eclipsed.\n\n\nAnti periplanar geometry (staggered, lower energy)\n\n\n\n\nSyn periplanar geometry\n(eclipsed, higher energy)\nWhat's so special about periplanar geometry?

There are 12 principles of green chemistry:\n\nPrevent waste - Waste should be prevented rather than treated or cleaned up after it has been created.\nMaximize atom economy - Synthetic methods should maximize the incorporation of all materials used in a process into the final product so that waste is minimized.\nUse less hazardous processes - Synthetic methods should use reactants and generate wastes with minimal toxicity to health and the environment.\nDesign safer chemicals - Chemical products should be designed to have minimal toxicity.\nUse safer solvents - Minimal use should be made of solvents, separation agents, and other auxiliary substances in a reaction.\nDesign for energy efficiency - Energy requirements for chemical processes should be minimized, with reactions carried out at room temperature if possible.\nUse renewable feedstocks - Raw materials should come from renewable sources when feasible.\nMinimize derivatives - Syntheses should be designed with minimal use of protecting groups to avoid extra steps and reduce waste.\nUse catalysis - Reactions should be catalytic rather than stoichiometric.\nDesign for degradation - Products should be designed to be biodegradable at the end of their useful lifetimes.\nMonitor pollution in real time - Processes should be monitored in real time for the formation of hazardous substances.\nPrevent accidents - Chemical substances and processes should minimize the potential for fires, explosions, or other accidents."} {"id": 696, "contents": "Green Chemistry - \nThe foregoing 12 principles may not all be met in most real-world applications, but they provide a worthy goal and they can make chemists think more carefully about the environmental implications of their work.

The resultant nucleophilic substitution and base-induced elimination reactions are two of the most widely occurring and versatile reaction types in organic chemistry, both in the laboratory and in biological pathways.\n\nNucleophilic substitutions are of two types: $\\mathbf{S}_{\\mathbf{N}} \\mathbf{2}$ reactions and $\\mathbf{S}_{\\mathbf{N}} \\mathbf{1}$ reactions. In the $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction, the entering nucleophile approaches the halide from a direction $180^{\\circ}$ away from the leaving group, resulting in an umbrellalike inversion of configuration at the carbon atom. The reaction is kinetically second-order and is strongly inhibited by increasing steric bulk of the reactants. Thus, $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 2$ reactions are favored for primary and secondary substrates.\n\nIn the $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 1$ reaction, the substrate spontaneously dissociates to a carbocation in a slow rate-limiting step, followed by a rapid reaction with the nucleophile. As a result, $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 1$ reactions are kinetically first-order and take place with substantial racemization of configuration at the carbon atom. They are most favored for tertiary substrates. Both $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 1$ and $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 2$ reactions occur in biological pathways, although the leaving group is typically a diphosphate ion rather than a halide."} {"id": 699, "contents": "Summary - \nEliminations of alkyl halides to yield alkenes occur by three mechanisms: E2 reactions, E1 reactions, and E1cB reactions, which differ in the timing of $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ and $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{X}$ bond-breaking. In the E 2 reaction, $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ and $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{X}$ bondbreaking occur simultaneously when a base abstracts $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$from one carbon while the leaving group departs from the neighboring carbon. The reaction takes place preferentially through an anti periplanar transition state in which the four reacting atoms-hydrogen, two carbons, and leaving group-are in the same plane. The reaction shows second-order kinetics and a deuterium isotope effect, and occurs when a secondary or tertiary substrate is treated with a strong base. These elimination reactions usually give a mixture of alkene products in which the more highly substituted alkene predominates (Zaitsev's rule).\n\nIn the E1 reaction, $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{X}$ bond-breaking occurs first. The substrate dissociates to yield a carbocation in the\nslow rate-limiting step before losing $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$from an adjacent carbon in a second step. The reaction shows firstorder kinetics and no deuterium isotope effect and occurs when a tertiary substrate reacts in polar, nonbasic solution.\n\nIn the E1cB reaction, $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond-breaking occurs first. A base abstracts a proton to give a carbanion, followed by loss of the leaving group from the adjacent carbon in a second step. The reaction is favored when the leaving group is two carbons removed from a carbonyl, which stabilizes the intermediate anion by resonance.

Determining the structure of an organic compound was a difficult and time-consuming process until the mid-20th century, but powerful techniques and specialized instruments are now routinely used to simplify the problem.

In addition, it's often possible to gain structural information about a molecule by measuring the masses of the fragments produced when molecules are broken apart.\n\nMore than 20 different kinds of commercial mass spectrometers are available depending on the intended application, but all have three basic parts: an ionization source in which sample molecules are given an electrical charge, a mass analyzer in which ions are separated by their mass-to-charge ratio, and a detector in which the separated ions are observed and counted.\n\n\nAmong the most common mass spectrometers used for routine purposes in the laboratory is the electronimpact, magnetic-sector instrument shown schematically in FIGURE 12.2. A small amount of sample is vaporized into the ionization source, where it is bombarded by a stream of high-energy electrons. The energy of the electron beam can be varied but is commonly around 70 electron volts (eV), or $6700 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$. When a highenergy electron strikes an organic molecule, it dislodges a valence electron from the molecule, producing a cation radical-cation because the molecule has lost an electron and now has a positive charge; radical because the molecule now has an odd number of electrons.\n\n\nElectron bombardment transfers so much energy that most of the cation radicals fragment after formation. They break apart into smaller pieces, some of which retain the positive charge and some of which are neutral. The fragments then flow through a curved pipe in a strong magnetic field, which deflects them into different paths according to their mass-to-charge ratio $(\\mathrm{m} / \\mathrm{z})$. Neutral fragments are not deflected by the magnetic field and are lost on the walls of the pipe, but positively charged fragments are sorted by the mass spectrometer onto a detector, which records them as peaks at the various $m / z$ ratios. Since the number of charges $z$ on each ion is usually 1 , the value of $m / z$ for each ion is simply its mass $m$. Masses up to approximately 2500 atomic mass units (amu) can be analyzed by this type of instrument."} {"id": 717, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 12.1 Mass Spectrometry of Small Molecules: Magnetic-Sector Instruments\nFIGURE 12.2 Representation of an electron-ionization, magnetic-sector mass spectrometer.

For one thing, the mass spectrum of a compound serves as a kind of \"molecular fingerprint.\" Every organic compound fragments in a unique way depending on its structure, and the likelihood of two compounds having identical mass spectra is small. Thus, it's sometimes possible to identify an unknown by computer-based matching of its mass spectrum to one of the more than 785,061 searchable spectra recorded in a database called the Registry of Mass Spectral Data.\n\nIt's also possible to derive structural information about a molecule by interpreting its fragmentation pattern.

The result of this energy absorption is an increased amplitude for the vibration; in other words, the \"spring\" connecting the two atoms stretches and compresses a bit further. Since each frequency absorbed by a molecule corresponds to a specific molecular motion, we can find what kinds of motions a molecule has by measuring its IR spectrum.

So important is this structural information for biochemistry that an online database of approximately 145,000 biological substances has been created.

The structure of an organic molecule is usually determined using spectroscopic methods, including mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. Mass spectrometry (MS) tells the molecular weight and formula of a molecule; infrared (IR) spectroscopy identifies the functional groups present in the molecule.\n\nIn small-molecule mass spectrometry, molecules are first ionized by collision with a high-energy electron beam. The ions then fragment into smaller pieces, which are magnetically sorted according to their mass-to-charge ratio $(\\mathrm{m} / \\mathrm{z})$. The ionized sample molecule is called the molecular ion, $M^{+}$, and measurement of its mass gives the molecular weight of the sample. Structural clues about unknown samples can be obtained by interpreting the fragmentation pattern of the molecular ion. Mass-spectral fragmentations are usually complex, however, and interpretation is often difficult. In biological mass spectrometry, molecules are protonated using either electrospray ionization (ESI) or matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI), and the protonated molecules are separated by time-of-flight (TOF) mass analysis.\n\nInfrared spectroscopy involves the interaction of a molecule with electromagnetic radiation. When an organic molecule is irradiated with infrared energy, certain frequencies are absorbed by the molecule. The frequencies absorbed correspond to the amounts of energy needed to increase the amplitude of specific molecular vibrations such as bond stretching and bending. Since every functional group has a characteristic combination of bonds, every functional group has a characteristic set of infrared absorptions. For example, the terminal alkyne $\\equiv \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond absorbs IR radiation of $3300 \\mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$, and the alkene $\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{C}$ bond absorbs in the range 1640 to $1680 \\mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$. By observing which frequencies of infrared radiation are absorbed by a molecule and which are not, it's possible to determine the functional groups a molecule contains."} {"id": 776, "contents": "Visualizing Chemistry - \nPROBLEM Where in the IR spectrum would you expect each of the following molecules to absorb?\n\n\nPROBLEM Show the structures of the fragments you would expect in the mass spectra of the following 12-13 molecules:\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\n\nMass Spectrometry\nPROBLEM Propose structures for compounds that fit the following mass-spectral data:\n12-14 (a) A hydrocarbon with $\\mathrm{M}^{+}=132$ (b) A hydrocarbon with $\\mathrm{M}^{+}=166$\n(c) A hydrocarbon with $\\mathrm{M}^{+}=84$\n\nPROBLEM Write molecular formulas for compounds that show the following molecular ions in their high-\n12-15 resolution mass spectra, assuming that $\\mathrm{C}, \\mathrm{H}, \\mathrm{N}$, and O might be present.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has far-reaching applications in many scientific fields, particularly in chemical structure determination. Although we'll just give an overview of the subject in this chapter, focusing on NMR applications with small molecules, more advanced NMR techniques are also used in biological chemistry to study protein structure and folding.\n\nNuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most valuable spectroscopic technique available to organic chemists. It's the method of structure determination that organic chemists usually turn to first.\n\nWe saw in the chapter on Structure Determination: Mass Spectrometry and Infrared Spectroscopy that mass spectrometry gives a molecule's formula and infrared spectroscopy identifies a molecule's functional groups. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy complements these other techniques by mapping a molecule's carbon-hydrogen framework. Taken together, MS, IR, and NMR make it possible to determine the structures of even very complex molecules.\n\n| Mass spectrometry | Molecular size and formula |\n| :--- | :--- |\n| Infrared spectroscopy | Functional groups present |\n| NMR spectroscopy | Map of carbon-hydrogen framework |"} {"id": 786, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 13.1 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy\nMany kinds of nuclei behave as if they were spinning about an axis, somewhat as the earth spins daily. Because they're positively charged, these spinning nuclei act like tiny magnets and can interact with an external magnetic field, denoted $\\boldsymbol{B}_{0}$. Not all nuclei act this way, but fortunately for organic chemists, both the proton $\\left({ }^{1} \\mathrm{H}\\right)$ and the ${ }^{13} \\mathrm{C}$ nucleus do have spins. The more common ${ }^{12} \\mathrm{C}$ isotope, however, does not have nuclear spin. (In speaking about NMR, the words proton and hydrogen are often used interchangeably, since a hydrogen nucleus is just a proton.) Let's see what the consequences of nuclear spin are and how we can use the results.\n\nIn the absence of an external magnetic field, the spins of magnetic nuclei are oriented randomly. When a sample containing these nuclei is placed between the poles of a strong magnet, however, the nuclei adopt specific orientations, much as a compass needle orients in the earth's magnetic field. A spinning ${ }^{1} \\mathrm{H}$ or ${ }^{13} \\mathrm{C}$ nucleus can orient so that its own tiny magnetic field is aligned either with (parallel to) or against (antiparallel to) the external field. The two orientations don't have the same energy, however, and aren't equally likely. The parallel orientation is slightly lower in energy by an amount that depends on the strength of the external field, making this spin state very slightly favored over the antiparallel orientation (FIGURE 13.2).\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\n\nFIGURE 13.2 (a) Nuclear spins are oriented randomly in the absence of an external magnetic field but (b) have a specific orientation in the presence of an external field, $\\boldsymbol{B}_{\\mathbf{0}}$. Some of the spins (red) are aligned parallel to the external field while others (blue) are antiparallel. The parallel spin state is slightly lower in energy and therefore favored."} {"id": 787, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 13.1 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy\nIf the oriented nuclei are irradiated with electromagnetic radiation of the proper frequency, energy absorption occurs and the lower-energy spin state \"flips\" to the higher-energy state. When this spin-flip occurs, the magnetic nuclei are said to be in resonance with the applied radiation-hence the name nuclear magnetic resonance.\n\nThe exact frequency necessary for resonance depends both on the strength of the external magnetic field, the identity of the nucleus, and the electronic environment of the nucleus. If a very strong magnetic field is applied, the energy difference between the two spin states is larger and higher-frequency (higher-energy) radiation is required for a spin-flip. If a weaker magnetic field is applied, less energy is required to effect the transition between nuclear spin states (FIGURE 13.3).\n\n\nFIGURE 13.3 The energy difference $\\Delta E$ between nuclear spin states depends on the strength of the applied magnetic field. Absorption of energy with frequency $v$ converts a nucleus from a lower spin state to a higher spin state.

If so, we would observe only a single NMR absorption signal in the ${ }^{1} \\mathrm{H}$ or ${ }^{13} \\mathrm{C}$ spectrum of a molecule, a situation that would be of little use. In fact, the absorption frequency is not the same for all ${ }^{1} \\mathrm{H}$ or all ${ }^{13} \\mathrm{C}$ nuclei.\n\nAll nuclei in molecules are surrounded by electrons. When an external magnetic field is applied to a molecule, the electrons moving around nuclei set up tiny local magnetic fields of their own. These local magnetic fields act in opposition to the applied field so that the effective field actually felt by the nucleus is a bit weaker than the applied field.\n\n$$\nB_{\\text {effective }}=B_{\\text {applied }}=B_{\\text {local }}\n$$\n\nIn describing this effect of local fields, we say that nuclei experience shielding from the full effect of the applied field by the surrounding electrons. Because each chemically distinct nucleus in a molecule is in a slightly different electronic environment, each nucleus is shielded to a slightly different extent and the effective magnetic field felt by each is slightly different. These tiny differences in the effective magnetic fields experienced by different nuclei can be detected, and we thus see a distinct NMR signal for each chemically distinct ${ }^{13} \\mathrm{C}$ or ${ }^{1} \\mathrm{H}$ nucleus in a molecule.

Because the three hydrogens in each methyl group have the same electronic environment, they are shielded to the same extent and are said to be equivalent. Chemically equivalent nuclei always show the same absorption. The two methyl groups themselves, however, are not equivalent, so the two sets of hydrogens absorb at different positions.\n\nThe operation of a basic NMR spectrometer is illustrated in FIGURE 13.5.

A sensitive detector monitors the absorption of rf energy, and its electronic signal is then amplified and displayed as a peak."} {"id": 793, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 13.2 The Nature of NMR Absorptions\nFIGURE 13.5 Schematic operation of a basic NMR spectrometer. A thin glass tube containing the sample solution is placed between the poles of a strong magnet and irradiated with rf energy.\n\nNMR spectroscopy differs from IR spectroscopy (Section 12.6-Section 12.8) in that the timescales of the two techniques are quite different. The absorption of infrared energy by a molecule giving rise to a change in vibrational amplitude is an essentially instantaneous process (about $10^{-13} \\mathrm{~s}$ ), but the NMR process is much slower (about $10^{-3} \\mathrm{~s}$ ). This difference in timescales between IR and NMR spectroscopy is analogous to the difference between cameras operating at very fast and very slow shutter speeds. The fast camera (IR) takes an instantaneous picture and freezes the action. If two rapidly interconverting species are present, IR spectroscopy records the spectrum of both. The slow camera (NMR), however, takes a blurred, time-averaged picture. If two species interconverting faster than $10^{3}$ times per second are present in a sample, NMR records only a single, averaged spectrum, rather than separate spectra of the two discrete species.\n\nBecause of this blurring effect, NMR spectroscopy can be used to measure the rates and activation energies of very fast chemical processes.

The chemical shift of TMS is set as the zero point, and other absorptions normally occur downfield, to the left on the chart. NMR charts are calibrated using an arbitrary scale called the delta ( $\\boldsymbol{\\delta}$ ) scale, where $1 \\delta$ equals 1 part-per-million ( 1 ppm ) of the spectrometer operating frequency. For example, if we were measuring the ${ }^{1} \\mathrm{H}$ NMR spectrum of a sample using an instrument operating at $200 \\mathrm{MHz}, 1 \\delta$ would be 1 part per million of $200,000,000 \\mathrm{~Hz}$, or 200 Hz . If we were measuring the spectrum using a 500 MHz instrument, $1 \\delta=500 \\mathrm{~Hz}$. The following equation can be used for any absorption:\n\n$$\n\\delta=\\frac{\\text { Observed chemical shift (number of Hz away from TMS) }}{\\text { Spectrometer frequency in } \\mathrm{MHz}}\n$$\n\nAlthough this method of calibrating NMR charts may seem complex, there's a good reason for it. As we saw earlier, the rf frequency required to bring a given nucleus into resonance depends on the spectrometer's magnetic field strength. But because there are many different kinds of spectrometers with many different magnetic field strengths available, chemical shifts given in frequency units ( Hz ) vary from one instrument to another. Thus, a resonance that occurs at 120 Hz downfield from TMS on one spectrometer might occur at 600 Hz downfield from TMS on another spectrometer with a more powerful magnet.\n\nBy using a system of measurement in which NMR absorptions are expressed in relative terms (parts per million relative to spectrometer frequency) rather than absolute terms (Hz), it's possible to compare spectra obtained\non different instruments. The chemical shift of an NMR absorption in $\\delta$ units is constant, regardless of the operating frequency of the spectrometer.

Thus, there is a likelihood that accidental overlap of nonequivalent signals will occur. The advantage of using an instrument with higher field strength (say, 500 $\\mathrm{MHz})$ rather than lower field strength $(200 \\mathrm{MHz})$ is that different NMR absorptions are more widely separated at the higher field strength.

The TMS absorption occurs on the right-hand (upfield) side of the chart and is arbitrarily assigned a value of $0 \\delta$.\n${ }^{13} \\mathrm{C}$ spectra are run on Fourier-transform NMR (FT-NMR) spectrometers using broadband decoupling of proton spins so that each chemically distinct carbon shows a single unsplit resonance line. As with ${ }^{1} \\mathrm{H}$ NMR, the chemical shift of each ${ }^{13} \\mathrm{C}$ signal provides information about a carbon's chemical environment in the sample.

Conjugated compounds of many different sorts are common in nature. Many of the pigments responsible for the brilliant colors of fruits, flowers, and even animals have numerous alternating single and double bonds. $\\beta$-Carotene, for instance, the orange pigment responsible for the color of carrots and an important source of vitamin A , is a conjugated polyene with 11 double bonds. Conjugated enones (alkene + ketone) are common structural features of many biologically important molecules such as progesterone, the hormone that prepares the uterus for implantation of a fertilized ovum. Cyclic conjugated molecules such as benzene are a major field of study in themselves. In this chapter, we'll look at some of the distinctive properties\nof conjugated molecules and at the reasons for those properties.\n\n\nMost of the unsaturated compounds we looked at in the chapters on Alkenes: Structure and Reactivity and Alkenes: Reactions and Synthesis had only one double bond, but many compounds have numerous sites of unsaturation. If the different unsaturations are well separated in a molecule, they react independently, but if they're close together, they may interact. In particular, compounds that have alternating single and double bonds-so-called conjugated compounds-have some distinctive characteristics. The conjugated diene 1,3-butadiene, for instance, has some properties quite different from those of the nonconjugated 1,4-pentadiene.\n\n\n1,3-Butadiene (conjugated; alternating double and single bonds)\n\n\n1,4-Pentadiene (nonconjugated; nonalternating double and single bonds)"} {"id": 866, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 14.1 Stability of Conjugated Dienes: Molecular Orbital Theory\nConjugated dienes can be prepared by some of the methods previously discussed for preparing alkenes (Section 11.7-Section 11.11).

Isoprene has been prepared industrially by several methods, including the acid-catalyzed double dehydration of 3-methyl-1,3-butanediol.\n\n\n3-Methyl-1,3-butanediol\n\n\nIsoprene\n2-Methyl-1,3-butadiene\n\nOne of the properties that distinguishes conjugated from nonconjugated dienes is that the central single bond is shorter than might be expected. The C2-C3 single bond in 1,3-butadiene, for instance, has a length of 147 pm , some 6 pm shorter than the C2-C3 bond in butane ( 153 pm ).\n\n\n1,3-Butadiene\n\n\nButane\n\nAnother distinctive property of conjugated dienes is their unusual stability, as evidenced by their heats of hydrogenation (TABLE 14.1). We saw in Section 7.6 that monosubstituted alkenes, such as 1-butene, have $\\Delta H^{\\circ}{ }_{\\text {hydrog }}$ near $-126 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}(-30.1 \\mathrm{kcal} / \\mathrm{mol})$, whereas disubstituted alkenes, such as 2-methylpropene, have $\\Delta H^{\\circ}{ }_{\\text {hydrog }}$ near $-119 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}(-28.4 \\mathrm{kcal} / \\mathrm{mol})$, which is approximately $7 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$ less negative.

To review briefly, the addition of an electrophile to a carbon-carbon double bond is a general reaction of alkenes (Section 7.7). Markovnikov regiochemistry is observed because the more stable carbocation is formed as an intermediate. Thus, addition of HCl to 2-methylpropene yields 2-chloro-2-methylpropane rather than 1-chloro-2-methylpropane, and addition of 2 equivalents of HCl to the nonconjugated diene 1,4-pentadiene yields 2,4-dichloropentane.\n\n\n\nConjugated dienes also undergo electrophilic addition reactions readily, but mixtures of products are invariably obtained. Addition of HBr to 1,3 -butadiene, for instance, yields a mixture of two products (not counting cis-trans isomers). 3-Bromo-1-butene is the typical Markovnikov product of $\\mathbf{1 , 2}$-addition to a double bond, but 1-bromo-2-butene seems unusual.

When 1,3-butadiene reacts with an electrophile such as $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$, two carbocation intermediates are possible-a primary nonallylic carbocation and a secondary allylic cation.

With IR irradiation, the energy absorbed corresponds to the amount needed to increase molecular vibrations. With UV radiation, the energy absorbed corresponds to the amount needed to promote an electron from a lower-energy orbital to a higherenergy one in a conjugated molecule. The conjugated diene 1,3-butadiene, for instance, has four $\\pi$ molecular orbitals, as shown previously in FIGURE 14.3.

Many such compounds are common in nature, including pigments and hormones.\n\nA conjugated diene or other compound is one that contains alternating double and single bonds. One characteristic of conjugated dienes is that they are more stable than their nonconjugated counterparts. This stability can be explained by a molecular orbital description in which four $p$ atomic orbitals combine to form four $\\pi$ molecular orbitals. Only the two bonding orbitals are occupied; the two antibonding orbitals are unoccupied. A $\\pi$ bonding interaction in the lowest-energy MO introduces some partial double-bond character between carbons 2 and 3, thereby strengthening the $\\mathrm{C} 2-\\mathrm{C} 3$ bond and stabilizing the molecule.\n\nConjugated dienes undergo several reactions not observed for nonconjugated dienes. One is the 1,4-addition of electrophiles. When a conjugated diene is treated with an electrophile such as $\\mathrm{HCl}, \\mathbf{1 , 2 -}$ and $\\mathbf{1 , 4}$-addition products are formed. Both result from the same resonance-stabilized allylic carbocation intermediate and are produced in varying amounts depending on the reaction conditions. The 1,2 adduct is usually formed faster and is said to be the product of kinetic control. The 1,4 adduct is usually more stable and is said to be the product of thermodynamic control.\n\nAnother reaction unique to conjugated dienes is Diels-Alder cycloaddition. Conjugated dienes react with electron-poor alkenes (dienophiles) in a single step through a cyclic transition state to yield a cyclohexene product. The reaction is stereospecific, meaning that only a single product stereoisomer is formed, and can occur only if the diene is able to adopt an $s$-cis conformation."} {"id": 905, "contents": "Summary - \nUltraviolet (UV) spectroscopy is a method of structure determination applicable specifically to conjugated $\\pi$-electron systems.

When an aromatic ring is oriented perpendicular to a strong magnetic field, the electrons circulate around the ring, producing a small local magnetic field. This induced field opposes the applied field in the middle of the ring but reinforces the applied field outside the ring (FIGURE 15.14). Aromatic protons therefore experience an effective magnetic field greater than the applied field and come into resonance at a lower applied field.\n\n\nFIGURE 15.14 The origin of aromatic ring-current. Aromatic protons are deshielded by the induced magnetic field caused by delocalized $\\pi$ electrons circulating around the aromatic ring.\nNote that the aromatic ring-current produces different effects inside and outside the ring. If a ring were large enough to have both \"inside\" and \"outside\" protons, the protons on the outside would be deshielded and absorb\nat a field lower than normal but those on the inside would be shielded and absorb at a field higher than normal.

Codeine, for example, is a powerful analgesic, or pain reliever, used in the management of debilitating pain, while cortisone and related steroids are potent anti-inflammatory agents, used for treating arthritis and other crippling inflammations. For minor pains and inflammation, both problems are often treated together by using a common over-the-counter medication called an NSAID, or nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug.\n\nOne of the most common NSAIDs is aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, whose use goes back to the late 1800s. It had been known from before the time of Hippocrates in 400 BC that fevers could be lowered by chewing the bark of willow trees. The active agent in willow bark was found in 1827 to be an aromatic compound called salicin, which could be converted by reaction with water into salicyl alcohol and then oxidized to give salicylic acid. Salicylic acid turned out to be even more effective than salicin for reducing fevers and to have analgesic and anti-inflammatory action as well. Unfortunately, it also turned out to be too corrosive to the walls of the stomach for everyday use. Conversion of the phenol-OH group into an acetate ester, however, yielded acetylsalicylic acid, which proved just as potent as salicylic acid but less corrosive to the stomach.\n\n\nFIGURE 15.17 Many athletes rely on NSAIDs to help with pain and soreness.

Even more serious is a condition called Reye's syndrome, a potentially fatal reaction to aspirin sometimes seen in children recovering from the flu. As a result of these problems, numerous other NSAIDs have been developed in the last several decades, most notably ibuprofen and naproxen.\n\nLike aspirin, both ibuprofen and naproxen are relatively simple aromatic compounds containing a side-chain carboxylic acid group. Ibuprofen, sold under the brand names Advil, Nuprin, Motrin, and others, has roughly the same potency as aspirin but is less prone to causing an upset stomach.

This chapter continues the coverage of aromatic molecules begun in the preceding chapter, but we'll shift focus to concentrate on reactions, looking at the relationship between aromatic structure and reactivity. This relationship is critical in understanding how many biological molecules and pharmaceutical agents are synthesized and why they behave as they do.\n\nIn the preceding chapter, we looked at aromaticity-the stability associated with benzene and related compounds that contain a cyclic conjugated system of $4 n+2 \\pi$ electrons. In this chapter, we'll look at some of the unique reactions that aromatic molecules undergo.\n\nThe most common reaction of aromatic compounds is electrophilic aromatic substitution, in which an electrophile ( $E^{+}$) reacts with an aromatic ring and substitutes for one of the hydrogens. The reaction is characteristic of all aromatic rings, not just benzene and substituted benzenes. In fact, the ability of a compound to undergo electrophilic substitution is a good test of aromaticity.\n\n\nMany different substituents can be introduced onto an aromatic ring through electrophilic substitution. To list some possibilities, an aromatic ring can be substituted by a halogen $(-\\mathrm{Cl},-\\mathrm{Br},-\\mathrm{I})$, a nitro group $\\left(-\\mathrm{NO}_{2}\\right)$, a sulfonic acid group $\\left(-\\mathrm{SO}_{3} \\mathrm{H}\\right)$, a hydroxyl group $(-\\mathrm{OH})$, an alkyl group ( -R ), or an acyl group ( -COR ).

When a reagent such as HCl adds to an alkene, the electrophilic hydrogen ion approaches the $\\pi$ electrons of the double bond and forms a bond to one carbon, leaving a positive charge at the other carbon. This carbocation intermediate then reacts with the nucleophilic $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ion to yield the addition product.\n\n\nAn electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction begins in a similar way, but there are a number of differences. One difference is that aromatic rings are less reactive toward electrophiles than alkenes. For example, $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ in $\\mathrm{CH}_{2} \\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ solution reacts instantly with most alkenes but does not react with benzene at room temperature. For bromination of benzene to take place, a catalyst such as $\\mathrm{FeBr}_{3}$ is needed. The catalyst makes the $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ molecule more electrophilic by polarizing it to give a $\\mathrm{FeBr}_{4}{ }^{-} \\mathrm{Br}^{+}$species that reacts as if it were $\\mathrm{Br}^{+}$. The polarized $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ molecule then reacts with the nucleophilic benzene ring to yield a nonaromatic carbocation intermediate that is doubly allylic (Section 11.5) and has three resonance forms.\n\n\nAlthough more stable than a typical alkyl carbocation because of resonance, the intermediate in electrophilic aromatic substitution is nevertheless much less stable than the starting benzene ring itself, with its $150 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$ ( $36 \\mathrm{kcal} / \\mathrm{mol}$ ) of aromatic stability. Thus, the reaction of an electrophile with a benzene ring is endergonic, has a substantial activation energy, and is rather slow.

The benzene reaction is slower than the alkene reaction because of the stability of the aromatic ring.\nAnother difference between alkene addition and aromatic substitution occurs after the carbocation intermediate has formed. Instead of adding $\\mathrm{Br}^{-}$to give an addition product, the carbocation intermediate loses $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$from the bromine-bearing carbon to give a substitution product. Note that this loss of $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$is similar to what occurs in the second step of an E1 reaction (Section 11.10).

The answer is straightforward. If addition occurred, the $150 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$ stabilization energy of the aromatic ring would be lost and the overall reaction would be endergonic. When substitution occurs, though, the stability of the aromatic ring is retained and the reaction is exergonic.

We'll see in the next section that the presence of a substituent group already on a ring can have a dramatic effect on that ring's reactivity to further electrophilic substitution. Rings that contain any of the substituents listed in FIGURE 16.9 do not undergo Friedel-Crafts alkylation.\n\n\nFIGURE 16.9 Limitations on the aromatic substrate in Friedel-Crafts reactions. No reaction occurs if the substrate has either an electronwithdrawing substituent or a basic amino group.\n\nA third limitation to the Friedel-Crafts alkylation is that it's often difficult to stop the reaction after a single substitution. Once the first alkyl group is on the ring, a second substitution reaction is facilitated for reasons we'll discuss in the next section. Thus, we often observe polyalkylation. Reaction of benzene with 1 mol equivalent of 2 -chloro-2-methylpropane, for example, yields $p$-di-tert-butylbenzene as the major product, along with small amounts of tert-butylbenzene and unreacted benzene. A high yield of mono-alkylation product is obtained only when a large excess of benzene is used.\n\n\nA final limitation to the Friedel-Crafts reaction is that a skeletal rearrangement of the alkyl carbocation electrophile sometimes occurs during reaction, particularly when a primary alkyl halide is used.

For example, the relatively unstable primary butyl carbocation produced by reaction of 1-chlorobutane with $\\mathrm{AlCl}_{3}$ rearranges to the more stable secondary butyl carbocation by the shift of a hydrogen atom and its electron pair (a hydride ion, $\\mathrm{H}:^{-}$) from C 2 to C 1 . Similarly, alkylation of benzene with 1-chloro-2,2-dimethylpropane yields (1,1-dimethylpropyl)benzene.

As a result, it's possible to reduce an alkene double bond selectively in the presence of an aromatic ring. For example, 4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one is reduced to 4-phenyl-2-butanone using a palladium catalyst at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Neither the benzene ring nor the ketone carbonyl group is affected.\n\n\nTo hydrogenate an aromatic ring, it's necessary either to use a platinum catalyst with hydrogen gas at a pressure of several hundred atmospheres or to use a more effective catalyst such as rhodium on carbon. Under these conditions, aromatic rings are converted into cyclohexanes. For example, $o$-xylene yields 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane, and 4-tert-butylphenol gives 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol."} {"id": 1022, "contents": "Reduction of Aryl Alkyl Ketones - \nIn the same way that an aromatic ring activates a neighboring (benzylic) $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ toward oxidation, it also activates a benzylic carbonyl group toward reduction. Thus, an aryl alkyl ketone prepared by Friedel-Crafts acylation of an aromatic ring can be converted into an alkylbenzene by catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst.\n\nPropiophenone, for instance, is reduced to propylbenzene by catalytic hydrogenation. Because the net effect of Friedel-Crafts acylation followed by reduction is the preparation of a primary alkylbenzene, this two-step sequence of reactions makes it possible to circumvent the carbocation rearrangement problems associated with direct Friedel-Crafts alkylation using a primary alkyl halide (Section 16.3).\n\n\nThe conversion of a carbonyl group into a methylene group $\\left(\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{O} \\rightarrow \\mathrm{CH}_{2}\\right)$ by catalytic hydrogenation is limited to aryl alkyl ketones; dialkyl ketones are not reduced under these conditions.

Not only must you know which reactions to use, you must also know when to use them because the order in which reactions are carried out is often critical to the success of the overall scheme.\n\nThe ability to plan a sequence of reactions in the right order is particularly important in the synthesis of substituted aromatic rings, where the introduction of a new substituent is strongly affected by the directing effects of other substituents. Planning syntheses of substituted aromatic compounds is therefore a good way to gain confidence in using the many reactions discussed in the past few chapters.\n\nAs we said in Section 9.9, it's usually best to work a synthesis problem backward, or retrosynthetically.

This works well for preparing large amounts of a few substances, but it doesn't work so well for preparing small amounts of a great many substances. This latter goal is particularly important in the pharmaceutical industry, where vast numbers of structurally similar compounds must be synthesized and screened to find an optimum drug candidate.\n\nTo speed the process of drug discovery, combinatorial chemistry has been developed to prepare what are called combinatorial libraries, in which anywhere from a few dozen to several hundred thousand substances are prepared simultaneously. Among the early successes of combinatorial chemistry is the development of a benzodiazepine library, a class of aromatic compounds commonly used as antianxiety agents.\n\n\nBenzodiazepine library\n( $\\mathrm{R}_{\\mathbf{1}}-\\mathrm{R}_{\\mathbf{4}}$ are various organic substituents)\n\nTwo main approaches to combinatorial chemistry are used-parallel synthesis and split synthesis. In parallel synthesis, each compound is prepared independently. Typically, a reactant is first linked to the surface of polymer beads, which are then placed into small wells on a 96 -well glass plate. Programmable robotic instruments add different sequences of building blocks to the different wells, thereby making 96 different products. When the reaction sequences are complete, the polymer beads are washed and their products are released.\n\nIn split synthesis, the initial reactant is again linked to the surface of polymer beads, which are then divided into several groups. A different building block is added to each group of beads, the different groups are combined, and the reassembled mix is again split to form new groups. Another building block is added to each group, the groups are again combined and redivided, and the process continues. If, for example, the beads are divided into four groups at each step, the number of compounds increases in the progression $4 \\rightarrow 16 \\rightarrow 64 \\rightarrow 256$.

In particular, we've looked at the relationship between aromatic structure and reactivity, a relationship critical to understanding how numerous biological molecules and pharmaceutical agents are synthesized and why they behave as they do.\n\nAn electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction takes place in two steps-initial reaction of an electrophile, $\\mathbf{E}^{+}$, with the aromatic ring, followed by loss of $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$from the resonance-stabilized carbocation intermediate to regenerate the aromatic ring.\n\n\nMany variations of the reaction can be carried out, including halogenation, nitration, and sulfonation. Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions, which involve reaction of an aromatic ring with carbocation electrophiles, are particularly useful. They are limited, however, by the fact that the aromatic ring must be at least as reactive as a halobenzene. In addition, polyalkylation and carbocation rearrangements often occur in Friedel-Crafts alkylation.\n\nSubstituents on the benzene ring affect both the reactivity of the ring toward further substitution and the orientation of that substitution. Groups can be classified as ortho- and para-directing activators, ortho- and para-directing deactivators, or meta-directing deactivators. Substituents influence aromatic rings by a combination of resonance and inductive effects. Resonance effects are transmitted through $\\pi$ bonds; inductive effects are transmitted through $\\sigma$ bonds.\n\nHalobenzenes undergo nucleophilic aromatic substitution through either of two mechanisms. If the halobenzene has a strongly electron-withdrawing substituent in the ortho or para position, substitution occurs by addition of a nucleophile to the ring, followed by elimination of halide from the intermediate anion. If the halobenzene is not activated by an electron-withdrawing substituent, substitution can occur by elimination of HX to give a benzyne, followed by addition of a nucleophile."} {"id": 1038, "contents": "Summary - \nThe benzylic position of an alkylbenzene can be brominated by reaction with $N$-bromosuccinimide, and the entire side chain can be degraded to a carboxyl group by oxidation with aqueous $\\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$.

With that background, it's now time to begin a study of the oxygen-containing functional groups that lie at the heart of organic and biological chemistry. We'll look at alcohols in this chapter and move on to carbonyl compounds in Chapters 19 through 23.\n\nAlcohols and phenols can be thought of as organic derivatives of water in which one of water's hydrogens is replaced by an organic group: $\\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$ versus $\\mathrm{R}-\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$ and $\\mathrm{Ar}-\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$. In practice, the name alcohol is restricted to\ncompounds that have their - OH group bonded to a saturated, $s p^{3}$-hybridized carbon atom, while compounds with their -OH group bonded to a vinylic, $s p^{2}$-hybridized carbon are called enols. We'll look at enols in Chapter 22.\n\n\nAn alcohol\n\n\nA phenol"} {"id": 1053, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 17.1 Naming Alcohols and Phenols\nAn alcohol\n\n\nA phenol\n\n\nAlcohols occur widely in nature and have many industrial and pharmaceutical applications. Methanol, for instance, is one of the most important of all industrial chemicals. Historically, methanol was prepared by heating wood in the absence of air and thus came to be called wood alcohol. Today, approximately 173 million tons ( 50 billion gallons) of methanol is manufactured worldwide each year, most of it by catalytic reduction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen gas. Methanol is toxic to humans, causing blindness in small doses ( 15 mL ) and death in larger amounts ( $100-250 \\mathrm{~mL}$ ). Industrially, it is used both as a solvent and as a starting material for production of formaldehyde $\\left(\\mathrm{CH}_{2} \\mathrm{O}\\right)$ and acetic acid $\\left(\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}\\right)$.\n\n\nEthanol was one of the first organic chemicals to be prepared and purified. Its production by fermentation of grains and sugars has been carried out for perhaps 9000 years, and its purification by distillation goes back at least as far as the 12 th century. Today, approximately 88 million tons ( 26 billion gallons) of ethanol are produced worldwide each year, most of it by fermentation of corn, barley, sorghum, and other plant sources. Almost all of this ethanol is used for bus and automobile fuel.\n\nEthanol for industrial use as a solvent or chemical intermediate is largely obtained by acid-catalyzed hydration of ethylene at high temperature.\n\n\nPhenols occur widely throughout nature and also serve as intermediates in the industrial synthesis of products as diverse as adhesives and antiseptics. Phenol itself is a general disinfectant found in coal tar; methyl salicylate is a flavoring agent found in oil of wintergreen; and urushiols are the allergenic constituents of poison oak and poison ivy.

The $\\mathrm{R}-\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond angle has an approximately tetrahedral value ( $108.5^{\\circ}$ in methanol, for instance), and the oxygen atom is $s p^{3}$-hybridized.\n\nAlso like water, alcohols and phenols have higher boiling points than might be expected, because of hydrogenbonding (Section 2.12). A positively polarized -OH hydrogen atom from one molecule is attracted to a lone pair of electrons on the electronegative oxygen atom of another molecule, resulting in a weak force that holds the molecules together (FIGURE 17.2). These intermolecular attractions must be overcome for a molecule to break free from the liquid and enter the vapor state, so the boiling temperature is raised. For example, 1-propanol ( $\\mathrm{MW}=60$ ), butane $(\\mathrm{MW}=58)$, and chloroethane $(\\mathrm{MW}=65)$ have similar molecular weights, yet 1-propanol boils at $97^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, compared with $-0.5^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ for the alkane and $12.5^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ for the chloroalkane.\n\n\nFIGURE 17.2 Hydrogen-bonding in alcohols and phenols. Attraction between a positively polarized -OH hydrogen and a negatively polarized oxygen holds molecules together. The electrostatic potential map of methanol shows the positively polarized -OH hydrogen and the negatively polarized oxygen.\n\nAnother similarity with water is that alcohols and phenols are both weakly basic and weakly acidic.

The more readily the alkoxide ion is solvated by water, the more stable it is, the more its formation is energetically favored, and the greater the acidity of the parent alcohol. For example, the oxygen atom of an unhindered alkoxide ion, such as that from methanol, is sterically accessible and is easily solvated by water. The oxygen atom of a hindered alkoxide ion, however, such as that from tert-butyl alcohol, is less easily solvated and is therefore less stable."} {"id": 1061, "contents": "Allyl alcohol (2-propen-1-ol) - 17.2 Properties of Alcohols and Phenols\nInductive effects (Section 16.4) are also important in determining alcohol acidities. Electron-withdrawing halogen substituents, for instance, stabilize an alkoxide ion by spreading the charge over a larger volume, thus making the alcohol more acidic. Compare, for instance, the acidities of ethanol ( $\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}}=16$ ) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol ( $\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}}=12.43$ ), or of tert-butyl alcohol ( $\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}}=18$ ) and nonafluoro-tert-butyl alcohol $\\left(\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}}=\\right.$ 5.4).\n\nElectron-withdrawing groups stabilize the alkoxide ion and lower the $\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}}$ of the alcohol.\n\n\nBecause alcohols are weak acids, they don't react with weak bases, such as amines or bicarbonate ion, and they only react to a limited extent with metal hydroxides such as NaOH . Alcohols do, however, react with alkali metals and with strong bases such as sodium hydride ( NaH ), sodium amide ( $\\mathrm{NaNH}_{2}$ ), and Grignard reagents ( RMgX ). Alkoxides are themselves bases that are frequently used as reagents in organic chemistry. They are named systematically by adding the -ate suffix to the name of the alcohol. Methanol becomes methanolate, for instance.\n\n\nPhenols are about a million times more acidic than alcohols (TABLE 17.1).

Phenols with an electron-withdrawing substituent are more acidic because these substituents delocalize the negative charge; phenols with an electron-donating substituent are less acidic because these substituents concentrate the charge.

The result is not a warming of the body, but an increased loss of heat at the surface.\n\n\nFIGURE 17.16 The Harger Drunkometer was the first breath analyzer, introduced in 1938 to help convict drunk drivers.

With that accomplished, we have now begun to study the oxygen-containing functional groups that lie at the heart of organic and biological chemistry.\n\nAlcohols are among the most versatile of all organic compounds. They occur widely in nature, are important industrially, and have an unusually rich chemistry. The most widely used methods of alcohol synthesis start with carbonyl compounds. Aldehydes, esters, and carboxylic acids are reduced by reaction with $\\mathrm{LiAlH}_{4}$ to give primary alcohols $\\left(\\mathrm{RCH}_{2} \\mathrm{OH}\\right)$; ketones are reduced to yield secondary alcohols ( $\\mathrm{R}_{2} \\mathrm{CHOH}$ ).\n\nAlcohols are also prepared by reaction of carbonyl compounds with Grignard reagents, RMgX. Addition of a Grignard reagent to formaldehyde yields a primary alcohol, addition to an aldehyde yields a secondary alcohol, and addition to a ketone or an ester yields a tertiary alcohol. The Grignard reaction is limited by the fact that Grignard reagents can't be prepared from alkyl halides that contain reactive functional groups in the same molecule. This problem can sometimes be avoided by protecting the interfering functional group. Alcohols are often protected by formation of trialkylsilyl ethers.\n\nAlcohols undergo many reactions and can be converted into many other functional groups. They can be dehydrated to give alkenes by treatment with $\\mathrm{POCl}_{3}$ and can be transformed into alkyl halides by treatment with $\\mathrm{PBr}_{3}$ or $\\mathrm{SOCl}_{2}$. Furthermore, alcohols are weakly acidic ( $\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}} \\approx 16-18$ ) and react with strong bases and with alkali metals to form alkoxide anions, which are used frequently in organic synthesis. Perhaps the most important reaction of alcohols is their oxidation to carbonyl compounds. Primary alcohols yield either aldehydes or carboxylic acids, secondary alcohols yield ketones, but tertiary alcohols are not normally oxidized."} {"id": 1114, "contents": "Summary - \nPhenols are aromatic counterparts of alcohols but are more acidic ( $\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}} \\approx 10$ ) because their corresponding phenoxide anions are resonance stabilized by delocalization of the negative charge into the aromatic ring. Substitution of the aromatic ring by an electron-withdrawing group increases phenol acidity, and substitution by an electron-donating group decreases acidity. Phenols can be oxidized to quinones, and quinones can be reduced back to hydroquinones."} {"id": 1115, "contents": "Summary of Reactions - \n1. Synthesis of alcohols\na.

Ethers are compounds that have two organic groups bonded to the same oxygen atom, ROR'. The organic groups can be alkyl, vinylic, or aryl, and the oxygen atom can be in a ring or in an open chain. Ethers are prepared by either Williamson ether synthesis, which involves $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction of an alkoxide ion with a primary alkyl halide, or the alkoxymercuration reaction, which involves Markovnikov addition of an alcohol to an alkene.\n\nEthers are inert to most reagents but react with strong acids to give cleavage products. Both HI and HBr are often used. The cleavage reaction takes place by an $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 2$ mechanism at the less highly substituted site if only primary and secondary alkyl groups are bonded to the ether oxygen, but by an $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 1$ or E1 mechanism if one of the alkyl groups bonded to oxygen is tertiary.\n\nEpoxides are cyclic ethers with a three-membered, oxygen-containing ring. Because of the strain in the ring, epoxides undergo a cleavage reaction with both acids and bases. Acid-catalyzed ring-opening occurs with a regiochemistry that depends on the structure of the epoxide. Cleavage of the $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{O}$ bond at the less highly substituted site occurs if both epoxide carbons are primary or secondary, but cleavage of the $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{O}$ bond to the more highly substituted site occurs if one of the epoxide carbons is tertiary.

Alkynyl groups, however, react poorly in the conjugate addition process. Diorganocopper reagents are unique in their ability to give conjugate addition products. Other organometallic reagents, such as Grignard reagents and organolithiums, normally result in direct carbonyl addition on reaction with $\\alpha, \\beta$-unsaturated ketones.\n\n\nThe mechanism of this reaction is thought to involve conjugate nucleophilic addition of the diorganocopper anion, $\\mathrm{R}_{2} \\mathrm{Cu}^{-}$, to the unsaturated ketone to give a copper-containing intermediate.

The epoxidation reaction of geraniol with $m$-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, for instance, gives a racemic mixture of $(2 S, 3 S)$ and $(2 R, 3 R)$ epoxides.\n\n\nUnfortunately, it's usually the case that only one enantiomer of a given drug or other important substance has the desired biological properties. The other enantiomer might be inactive or even dangerous. Thus, much work is currently being done on developing enantioselective methods of synthesis, which yield only one of the two possible enantiomers. So important has enantioselective synthesis become that the 2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three pioneers in the field: William S. Knowles of the Monsanto Co., K. Barry Sharpless of the Scripps Research Institute, and Ryoji Noyori of Nagoya University.\nSeveral approaches to enantioselective synthesis have been developed, but the most efficient are those that use chiral catalysts to temporarily hold a substrate molecule in an unsymmetrical environment-the same strategy that nature uses when catalyzing reactions with chiral enzymes. While in that unsymmetrical environment, the substrate may be more open to reaction on one side than on another, leading to an excess of one enantiomeric product over another. As an analogy, think about picking up a coffee mug in your right hand to take a drink. The mug by itself is achiral, but as soon as you pick it up by the handle, it becomes chiral. One side of the mug now faces toward you so you can drink from it, but the other side faces away.

Many different kinds of products can be prepared by nucleophilic additions. Aldehydes and ketones are reduced by $\\mathrm{NaBH}_{4}$ or $\\mathrm{LiAlH}_{4}$ to yield primary and secondary alcohols, respectively. Addition of Grignard reagents to aldehydes and ketones also gives alcohols (secondary and tertiary, respectively), and addition of HCN yields cyanohydrins.

Although weaker than mineral acids such as HCl , carboxylic acids dissociate much more readily than alcohols because the resultant carboxylate ions are stabilized by resonance between two equivalent forms.\n\nMost carboxylic acids have $\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}}$ values near 5, but the exact $\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}}$ of a given acid depends on structure. Carboxylic acids substituted by electron-withdrawing groups are more acidic (have a lower $\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}}$ ) because their carboxylate ions are stabilized. Carboxylic acids substituted by electron-donating groups are less acidic (have a higher $\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}}$ ) because their carboxylate ions are destabilized. The extent of dissociation of a carboxylic acid in a buffered solution of a given pH can be calculated with the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Inside living cells, where the physiological $\\mathrm{pH}=7.3$, carboxylic acids are entirely dissociated and exist as their carboxylate anions."} {"id": 1328, "contents": "Summary - \nMethods of synthesis for carboxylic acids include (1) oxidation of alkylbenzenes, (2) oxidation of primary alcohols or aldehydes, (3) reaction of Grignard reagents with $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ (carboxylation), and (4) hydrolysis of nitriles. General reactions of carboxylic acids include (1) loss of the acidic proton, (2) nucleophilic acyl substitution at the carbonyl group, (3) substitution on the $\\alpha$ carbon, and (4) reduction.\n\nNitriles are similar in some respects to carboxylic acids and are prepared either by $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction of an alkyl halide with cyanide ion or by dehydration of an amide. Nitriles undergo nucleophilic addition to the polar $\\mathrm{C} \\equiv \\mathrm{N}$ bond in the same way that carbonyl compounds do. The most important reactions of nitriles are their hydrolysis to carboxylic acids, reduction to primary amines, and reaction with Grignard reagents to yield ketones.\n\nCarboxylic acids and nitriles are easily distinguished spectroscopically. Acids show a characteristic IR absorption at 2500 to $3300 \\mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$ due to the $\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond and another at 1710 to $1760 \\mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$ due to the $\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{O}$ bond; nitriles have an absorption at $2250 \\mathrm{~cm}^{-1}$.

Carboxylic acid derivatives are among the most widely occurring of all molecules, both in laboratory chemistry and in biological pathways. Thus, a study of them and their primary reaction-nucleophilic acyl substitution-is fundamental to understanding organic chemistry. We'll begin this chapter by first learning about carboxylic acid derivatives, and we'll then explore the chemistry of acyl substitution reactions.\n\nClosely related to the carboxylic acids and nitriles discussed in the previous chapter are the carboxylic acid\nderivatives, compounds in which an acyl group is bonded to an electronegative atom or substituent that can act as a leaving group in the nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction that we saw briefly in the Preview of Carbonyl Chemistry:\n\n\nMany kinds of acid derivatives are known, but we'll be concerned primarily with four of the most common ones: acid halides, acid anhydrides, esters, and amides. Acid halides and acid anhydrides are used only in the laboratory, while esters and amides are common in both laboratory and biological chemistry. In addition, carboxylic acid derivatives called thioesters and acyl phosphates are encountered primarily in biological chemistry.

When a nucleophile adds to a carboxylic acid derivative, however, a different reaction path is taken. The initially formed tetrahedral intermediate eliminates one of the two substituents originally bonded to the carbonyl carbon, leading to a net nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction (FIGURE 21.2).\n(a) Aldehyde or ketone: nucleophilic addition\n\n(b) Carboxylic acid derivative: nucleophilic acyl substitution\n\n\nFIGURE 21.2 The general mechanisms of nucleophilic addition and nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions.

Carboxylic acid derivatives have an acyl carbon bonded to a group -Y that can act as a leaving group, often as a stable anion. As soon as the tetrahedral intermediate is formed, the leaving group is expelled to generate a new carbonyl compound.

First, a nine-day cold spell lowered the laboratory temperature to a point where the Staphylococcus in the culture plate could not grow.

He noticed that the growing Penicillium mold appeared to dissolve the colonies of staphylococci.\n\nFleming realized that the Penicillium mold must be producing a chemical that killed the Staphylococcus bacteria, and he spent several years trying to isolate the substance.

The dramatic ability of penicillin to cure infections in mice was soon demonstrated, and successful tests in humans followed shortly thereafter.

As with nucleophilic additions and nucleophilic acyl substitutions, many laboratory schemes, pharmaceutical syntheses, and biochemical pathways make frequent use of carbonyl $\\alpha$-substitution reactions. Their great value comes from the fact that they constitute one of the few general methods for forming carbon-carbon bonds, thereby making it possible to build larger molecules from smaller precursors. In this chapter, we'll see how and why these reactions occur.\n\nWe said in the Preview of Carbonyl Chemistry that much of the chemistry of carbonyl compounds can be explained by just four fundamental reaction types: nucleophilic additions, nucleophilic acyl substitutions, $\\alpha$ substitutions, and carbonyl condensations. Having studied the first two of these reactions in the past three chapters, let's now look in more detail at the third major carbonyl-group process-the $\\boldsymbol{a}$-substitution reaction.\n\nAlpha-substitution reactions occur at the position next to the carbonyl group-the $\\alpha$ position-and involve the substitution of an $\\alpha$ hydrogen atom by an electrophile, E, through either an enol or enolate ion intermediate.

This spontaneous interconversion between two isomers, usually with the change in position of a hydrogen, is called tautomerism, from the Greek tauto, meaning \"the same,\" and meros, meaning \"part.\" The individual keto and enol isomers are called tautomers.\n\n\nNote the difference between tautomers and resonance forms. Tautomers are constitutional isomers-different compounds with different structures-while resonance forms are different representations of a single compound. Tautomers have their atoms arranged differently, while resonance forms differ only in the position of their $\\pi$ and nonbonding electrons.\n\nMost monocarbonyl compounds exist almost entirely in their keto form at equilibrium, and it's usually difficult to isolate the pure enol. Cyclohexanone, for example, contains only about $0.0001 \\%$ of its enol tautomer at room temperature. The percentage of enol tautomer is even lower for carboxylic acids, esters, and amides. The enol can only predominate when stabilized by conjugation or intramolecular hydrogen bonding. Thus, 2,4-pentanedione is about $76 \\%$ enol tautomer.

The resultant resonance-stabilized anion, an enolate ion, is then protonated to yield a neutral compound.

First, pure enols can't normally be isolated but are instead generated only as short-lived intermediates in low concentration. By contrast, stable solutions of pure enolate ions are easily prepared from most carbonyl compounds by reaction with a strong base. Second, enolate ions are more reactive than enols and undergo many reactions that enols don't. Whereas enols are neutral, enolate ions are negatively charged, making them much better nucleophiles.\n\nBecause they are resonance hybrids of two nonequivalent forms, enolate ions can be looked at either as vinylic alkoxides ( $\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{O}^{-}$) or as $\\alpha$-keto carbanions ( ${ }^{-} \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{O}$ ). Thus, enolate ions can react with electrophiles either on oxygen or on carbon.

Reaction on carbon to yield an $\\alpha$-substituted carbonyl product is more common.\n\nAs an example of enolate ion reactivity, aldehydes and ketones undergo base-promoted $\\alpha$ halogenation. Even relatively weak bases such as hydroxide ion are effective for halogenation because it's not necessary to convert the ketone completely into its enolate ion.

In fact, almost all classes of biomolecules-carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and many others-are biosynthesized through pathways that involve carbonyl condensation reactions. As with the $\\alpha$-substitution reaction discussed in the previous chapter, the great value of carbonyl condensations is that they are one of the few general methods for forming carbon-carbon bonds, thereby making it possible to build larger molecules from smaller precursors. In this chapter, we'll see how and why these reactions occur.\n\nWe've now studied three of the four general kinds of carbonyl-group reactions and have seen two general\nkinds of behavior. In nucleophilic addition and nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions, a carbonyl compound behaves as an electrophile when an electron-rich reagent adds to it. In $\\alpha$-substitution reactions, however, a carbonyl compound behaves as a nucleophile when it is converted into its enol or enolate ion.

Because the experimental conditions for the two reactions are similar, how can we predict which will occur in a given case? When we generate an enolate ion\nwith the intention of carrying out an $\\alpha$ alkylation, how can we be sure that a carbonyl condensation reaction won't occur instead?\n\nThere is no simple answer to this question, but the exact experimental conditions usually have much to do with the result. Alpha-substitution reactions require a full equivalent of strong base and are normally carried out so that the carbonyl compound is rapidly and completely converted into its enolate ion at a low temperature. An electrophile is then added rapidly to ensure that the reactive enolate ion is quenched quickly. In a ketone alkylation reaction, for instance, we might use 1 equivalent of lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in tetrahydrofuran solution at $-78^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$. Rapid and complete generation of the ketone enolate ion would occur, and no unreacted ketone would remain, meaning that no condensation reaction could take place. We would then immediately add an alkyl halide to complete the alkylation reaction.\n\n\nOn the other hand, carbonyl condensation reactions require only a catalytic amount of a relatively weak base, rather than a full equivalent, so that a small amount of enolate ion is generated in the presence of unreacted carbonyl compound. Once a condensation occurs, the basic catalyst is regenerated. To carry out an aldol reaction on propanal, for instance, we might dissolve the aldehyde in methanol, add 0.05 equivalent of sodium methoxide, and then warm the mixture to give the aldol product."} {"id": 1493, "contents": "Solution - 23.3 Dehydration of Aldol Products: Synthesis of Enones\nWhen heated under either acidic or basic conditions, the $\\beta$-hydroxy aldehydes or ketones formed in aldol reactions can be dehydrated to yield $\\alpha, \\beta$-unsaturated products, or conjugated enones (ene + ketone).

Under basic conditions, an acidic $\\alpha$ hydrogen is removed, yielding an enolate ion that expels the nearby ${ }^{-} \\mathrm{OH}$ leaving group in an E1cB reaction (Section 11.10). Under acidic conditions, an enol is formed, the -OH group is protonated, and water is expelled in an E1 or E2 reaction.\n\n\nThe reaction conditions needed for aldol dehydration are often only a bit more vigorous (slightly higher temperature, for instance) than the conditions needed for the aldol formation itself. As a result, conjugated enones are usually obtained directly from aldol reactions without isolating the intermediate $\\beta$-hydroxy carbonyl compounds.\n\nConjugated enones are more stable than nonconjugated enones for the same reason that conjugated dienes are more stable than nonconjugated dienes (Section 14.1).

Whenever the target molecule contains either a $\\beta$-hydroxy aldehyde/ ketone or a conjugated enone functional group, it might come from an aldol reaction.\n\n\nWe can extend this kind of reasoning even further by imagining that subsequent transformations might be carried out on the aldol products. For example, a saturated ketone might be prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of the enone product. A good example can be found in the industrial preparation of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol, an alcohol used in the synthesis of plasticizers for polymers. Although 2-ethyl-1-hexanol bears little resemblance to an aldol product at first glance, it is in fact prepared commercially from butanal by an aldol reaction. Working backward, we can reason that 2 -ethyl-1-hexanol might come from 2 -ethylhexanal by a reduction. 2-Ethylhexanal, in turn, might be prepared by catalytic reduction of 2 -ethyl-2-hexenal, which is the aldol condensation product of butanal.

What would happen, though, if an aldol reaction were carried out between two different carbonyl partners?\n\nIn general, a mixed aldol reaction between two similar aldehyde or ketone partners leads to a mixture of four possible products. For example, base treatment of a mixture of acetaldehyde and propanal gives a complex product mixture containing two \"symmetrical\" aldol products and two \"mixed\" aldol products. Clearly, such a reaction is of no practical value.\n\n\nOn the other hand, mixed aldol reactions can lead cleanly to a single product if either of two conditions is met:\n\n- If one of the carbonyl partners contains no $\\alpha$ hydrogens (and thus can't form an enolate ion to become a donor), but does contain an unhindered carbonyl group (and so is a good acceptor of nucleophiles), then a mixed aldol reaction is likely to be successful. This is the case, for instance, when either benzaldehyde or\nformaldehyde is used as one of the carbonyl partners.\nNeither benzaldehyde nor formaldehyde can form an enolate ion to add to another partner, yet both compounds have an unhindered carbonyl group. The ketone 2-methylcyclohexanone, for instance, gives the mixed aldol product on reaction with benzaldehyde.\n\n- If one of the carbonyl partners is much more acidic than the other, and is thus transformed into its enolate ion in preference to the other, then a mixed aldol reaction is likely to be successful. Ethyl acetoacetate, for instance, is completely converted into its enolate ion in preference to enolate ion formation from monocarbonyl partners. Thus, aldol condensations of monoketones with ethyl acetoacetate occur preferentially to give the mixed product.\n\n\nThe situation can be summarized by saying that a mixed aldol reaction leads to a mixture of products unless one of the partners either has no $\\alpha$ hydrogens but is a good electrophilic acceptor (such as benzaldehyde) or is an unusually acidic nucleophilic donor (such as ethyl acetoacetate)."} {"id": 1500, "contents": "Solution - 23.5 Mixed Aldol Reactions\nPROBLEM Which of the following compounds can probably be prepared by a mixed aldol reaction?

The word annulation derives from the Latin annulus, meaning \"ring,\" so an annulation reaction is one that builds a new ring onto a molecule.\n\nNamed after Robert Robinson, a British chemist and 1947 Nobel Prize winner, the Robinson annulation is a two-step process that combines a Michael reaction with an intramolecular aldol reaction. It takes place between a nucleophilic donor, such as a $\\beta$-keto ester; an enamine, or a $\\beta$-diketone; and an $\\alpha, \\beta$-unsaturated ketone acceptor, such as 3-buten-2-one.

Unlike chiral carbon compounds, however, chiral amines can't usually be resolved because the two enantiomeric forms rapidly interconvert by a pyramidal inversion, much as an alkyl halide inverts in an $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction. Pyramidal inversion occurs by a momentary rehybridization of the nitrogen atom to planar, $s p^{2}$ geometry, followed by rehybridization of the planar intermediate to tetrahedral, $s p^{3}$ geometry (FIGURE 24.2).

Like benzene, pyridine is a flat, aromatic molecule, with bond angles of $120^{\\circ}$ and $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{C}$ bond lengths of 139 pm , intermediate between typical single and double bonds. The five carbon atoms and the $s p^{2}$-hybridized nitrogen atom each contribute one $\\pi$ electron to the aromatic sextet, and the lone-pair electrons occupy an $s p^{2}$ orbital in the plane of the ring (Section 15.5).\n\nAs shown previously in TABLE 24.1, pyridine ( $\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}}=5.25$ ) is a stronger base than pyrrole but a weaker base than the alkylamines. The diminished basicity of pyridine compared with that of alkylamines is due to the fact that the lone-pair electrons on the pyridine nitrogen are in an $s p^{2}$ orbital, while those on an alkylamine nitrogen are in an $s p^{3}$ orbital. Because $s$ orbitals have their maximum electron density at the nucleus but $p$ orbitals have a node at the nucleus, electrons in an orbital with more $s$ character are held more closely to the positively charged nucleus and are less available for bonding. As a result, the $s p^{2}$-hybridized nitrogen atom ( $33 \\% s$ character) in\npyridine is less basic than the $s p^{3}$-hybridized nitrogen in an alkylamine ( $25 \\% s$ character).\n\n\nPyridine\nUnlike benzene, pyridine undergoes electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions with difficulty. Halogenation can be carried out under drastic conditions, but nitration occurs in very low yield, and Friedel-Crafts reactions are not successful. Reactions usually give the 3 -substituted product."} {"id": 1598, "contents": "Pyridine and Pyrimidine - \nThe low reactivity of pyridine toward electrophilic aromatic substitution is caused by a combination of factors. One is that acid-base complexation between the basic ring's nitrogen atom and the incoming electrophile places a positive charge on the ring, thereby deactivating it. Equally important is that the electron density of the ring is decreased by the electron-withdrawing inductive effect of the electronegative nitrogen atom. Thus, pyridine has a substantial dipole moment ( $\\mu=2.26 \\mathrm{D}$ ), with the ring carbons acting as the positive end of the dipole. Reaction of an electrophile with the positively polarized carbon atoms is therefore difficult.\n\n\nIn addition to pyridine, the six-membered diamine pyrimidine is also found commonly in biological molecules, particularly as a constituent of nucleic acids.

Of those groups, amines are among the most abundant and have among the richest chemistry. In addition to proteins and nucleic acids, the majority of pharmaceutical agents contain amine functional groups and many of the common coenzymes necessary for biological reactions are amines.\nAmines are organic derivatives of ammonia. They are named in the IUPAC system either by adding the suffix -amine to the name of the alkyl substituent or by considering the amino group as a substituent on a more complex parent molecule.\nThe chemistry of amines is dominated by the lone-pair electrons on nitrogen, which makes amines both basic and nucleophilic. The basicity of arylamines is generally lower than that of alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are delocalized by interaction with the aromatic $\\pi$ system. Electron-withdrawing substituents on the aromatic ring further weaken the basicity of a substituted aniline, while electron-donating substituents increase basicity. Alkylamines are sufficiently basic that they exist almost entirely in their protonated form at the physiological pH of 7.3.\n\nHeterocyclic amines are compounds that contain one or more nitrogen atoms as part of a ring. Saturated\nheterocyclic amines usually have the same chemistry as their open-chain analogs, but unsaturated heterocycles such as pyrrole, imidazole, pyridine, and pyrimidine are aromatic. All four are unusually stable, and all undergo aromatic substitution on reaction with electrophiles.

Alkylamines are prepared by $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 2$ reaction of ammonia or an amine with an alkyl halide or by the Gabriel amine synthesis. Amines can also be prepared by a number of reductive methods, including $\\mathrm{LiAlH}_{4}$ reduction of amides, nitriles, and azides. Also important is the reductive amination reaction in which a ketone or an aldehyde is treated with an amine in the presence of a reducing agent such as $\\mathrm{NaBH}_{4}$. In addition, amines result from Hofmann and Curtius rearrangements of carboxylic acid derivatives. Both methods involve migration of the -R group bonded to the carbonyl carbon and yield a product that has one less carbon atom than the starting material.\n\nMany of the reactions of amines are familiar from past chapters. Thus, amines react with alkyl halides in $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 2$ reactions and with acid chlorides in nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions. Amines also undergo E2 elimination to yield alkenes if they are first quaternized by treatment with iodomethane and then heated with silver oxide, a process called the Hofmann elimination.\n\nArylamines are converted by diazotization with nitrous acid into arenediazonium salts, $\\mathrm{ArN}_{2}{ }^{+} \\mathrm{X}^{-}$. The diazonio group can then be replaced by many other substituents by the Sandmeyer reaction to give a wide variety of substituted aromatic compounds. Aryl chlorides, bromides, iodides, and nitriles can be prepared from arenediazonium salts, as can arenes and phenols.

We've now seen all the common functional groups and reaction types that occur in organic and biological chemistry. In this and the next four chapters, we'll focus on the major classes of biological molecules, beginning with a look at the structures and primary biological functions of carbohydrates. Then, in Chapter 29, we'll return to the subject to see how carbohydrates are both synthesized and degraded in organisms.\n\nCarbohydrates occur in every living organism. The sugar and starch in food, and the cellulose in wood, paper, and cotton are nearly pure carbohydrates. Modified carbohydrates form part of the coating around living cells, other carbohydrates are part of the nucleic acids that carry our genetic information, and still others are used as medicines.\n\nThe word carbohydrate derives historically from the fact that glucose, the first simple carbohydrate to be obtained in pure form, has the molecular formula $\\mathrm{C}_{6} \\mathrm{H}_{12} \\mathrm{O}_{6}$ and was originally thought to be a \"hydrate of\ncarbon, $\\mathrm{C}_{6}\\left(\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}\\right)_{6}$.\" This view was soon abandoned, but the name persisted. Today, the term carbohydrate is used to refer loosely to the broad class of polyhydroxylated aldehydes and ketones commonly called sugars. Glucose, also known as dextrose in medical work, is the most familiar example."} {"id": 1627, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - \nGlucose (dextrose),\na pentahydroxyhexanal\nCarbohydrates are synthesized by green plants during photosynthesis, a complex process in which sunlight provides the energy to convert $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$ into glucose plus oxygen. Many molecules of glucose are then chemically linked for storage by the plant in the form of either cellulose or starch. It has been estimated that more than $50 \\%$ of the dry weight of the earth's biomass-all plants and animals-consists of glucose polymers. When eaten and metabolized, carbohydrates then provide animals with a source of readily available energy. Thus, carbohydrates act as the chemical intermediaries by which solar energy is stored and used to support life.\n\n$$\n6 \\mathrm{CO}_{2}+6 \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O} \\xrightarrow{\\text { Sunlight }} 6 \\mathrm{O}_{2}+\\mathrm{C}_{6} \\mathrm{H}_{12} \\mathrm{O}_{6} \\longrightarrow \\text { Cellulose, starch }\n$$\n\nGlucose\nBecause humans and most other mammals lack the enzymes needed for digestion of cellulose, they require starch as their dietary source of carbohydrates. Grazing animals such as cows, however, have microorganisms in their first stomach that are able to digest cellulose. The energy stored in cellulose is thus moved up the biological food chain when these ruminant animals eat grass and are themselves used for food."} {"id": 1628, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 25.1 Classification of Carbohydrates\nCarbohydrates are generally classified as either simple or complex. Simple sugars, or monosaccharides, are carbohydrates like glucose and fructose that can't be converted into smaller sugars by hydrolysis. Complex carbohydrates are made of two or more simple sugars linked together by acetal bonds (Section 19.10). Sucrose (table sugar), for instance, consists of one glucose linked to one fructose. Similarly, cellulose is made up of several thousand glucose units linked together. Enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of a complex carbohydrate breaks it down into its constituent monosaccharides.\n\n\nSucrose (a disaccharide)\n\n\nMonosaccharides are further classified as either aldoses or ketoses. The -ose suffix designates a carbohydrate, and the prefixes aldo- and keto- identify the kind of carbonyl group in the molecule, whether aldehyde or ketone.\n\nThe number of carbon atoms in the monosaccharide is indicated by the appropriate numerical prefix tri-, tetr-, pent-, hex-, and so forth, in the name. Putting it all together, glucose is an aldohexose, a six-carbon aldehyde sugar; fructose is a ketohexose, a six-carbon keto sugar; ribose is an aldopentose, a five-carbon aldehyde sugar; and sedoheptulose is a ketoheptose, a seven-carbon keto sugar. Most of the common simple sugars are either pentoses or hexoses.\n\n\nPROBLEM Classify each of the following monosaccharides:\n25-1 (a)\n\nThreose\n(b)\n\nRibulose\n(c)\n\nTagatose\n(d)\n\n2-Deoxyribose"} {"id": 1629, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 25.2 Representing Carbohydrate Stereochemistry: Fischer Projections\nBecause most carbohydrates have numerous chirality centers, it was recognized long ago that a quick method for representing their stereochemistry was needed. In 1891, the German chemist Emil Fischer suggested a method based on the projection of a tetrahedral carbon atom onto a flat surface. These Fischer projections were soon adopted and are still a common means of representing stereochemistry at chirality centers in carbohydrate chemistry.\n\nA tetrahedral carbon atom is represented in a Fischer projection by two crossed lines. The horizontal lines represent bonds coming out of the page, and the vertical lines represent bonds going into the page.\n\nFor example, (R)-glyceraldehyde, the simplest monosaccharide, can be drawn as in FIGURE 25.2.\n\n\nFIGURE 25.2 A Fischer projection of (R)-glyceraldehyde.\nBecause a given chiral molecule can be drawn in many ways, it's sometimes necessary to compare two projections to see if they represent the same or different enantiomers. To test for identity, Fischer projections can be moved around on the paper, but only two kinds of motions are allowed; moving a Fischer projection in any other way inverts its meaning.\n\n- A Fischer projection can be rotated on the page by $180^{\\circ}$, but not by $90^{\\circ}$ or $270^{\\circ}$. Only a $180^{\\circ}$ rotation\nmaintains the Fischer convention by keeping the same substituent groups going into and coming out of the plane. In the following Fischer projection of ( $R$ )-glyceraldehyde, for instance, the -H and -OH groups come out of the plane both before and after a $180^{\\circ}$ rotation.\n\n\nA $90^{\\circ}$ rotation breaks the Fischer convention by exchanging the groups that go into the plane with those that come out. In the following Fischer projections of $(R)$-glyceraldehyde, the -H and -OH groups originally come out of the plane but go into the plane after a $90^{\\circ}$ rotation. As a result, the rotated projection represents (S)-glyceraldehyde.\n\n\n(R)-Glyceraldehyde\n\n- A Fischer projection can also have one group held steady while the other three rotate in either a clockwise or a counterclockwise direction.

Then, the protected glycal is epoxidized.\n\n\nTreatment of the protected glycal epoxide in the presence of $\\mathrm{ZnCl}_{2}$ as a Lewis acid with a second glycal having a free -OH group causes acid-catalyzed opening of the epoxide ring by $\\mathrm{S}_{\\mathrm{N}} 2$ backside attack (Section 18.6) and yields a disaccharide. The disaccharide is itself a glycal, so it can be epoxidized and coupled again to yield a trisaccharide, and so on. Using the appropriate sugars at each step, a great variety of polysaccharides can be prepared. After these sugars are linked, the silyl ethers and cyclic carbonate protecting groups are removed by hydrolysis.\n\n\n\nA disaccharide glycal\nAmong the numerous complex polysaccharides that have been synthesized in the laboratory are several tumorassociated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs) that are currently being tested as potential vaccines for breast,\nprostate, lung, colon, and ovarian cancers."} {"id": 1678, "contents": "Polysaccharide Synthesis - 25.10 Some Other Important Carbohydrates\nIn addition to the common carbohydrates mentioned in previous sections, there are a variety of important carbohydrate-derived materials. Their structural resemblance to sugars is clear, but they aren't simple aldoses or ketoses.\n\nDeoxy sugars, as we saw in Section 25.7, have an oxygen atom \"missing.\" That is, an -OH group is replaced by an $-H$. The most common deoxy sugar is 2-deoxyribose, a monosaccharide found in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Note that 2-deoxyribose exists in water solution as a complex equilibrium mixture of both furanose and pyranose forms.\n\n\nAmino sugars, such as D-glucosamine, have an -OH group replaced by an $-\\mathrm{NH}_{2}$. The $N$-acetyl amide derived from D-glucosamine is the monosaccharide unit from which chitin, the hard crust that protects insects and shellfish, is made. Still other amino sugars are found in antibiotics such as streptomycin and gentamicin."} {"id": 1679, "contents": "Sweetness - \nSay the word sugar and most people immediately think of sweet-tasting candies, desserts, and such. In fact, most simple carbohydrates do taste sweet but the degree of sweetness varies greatly from one sugar to another. With sucrose (table sugar) as a reference point, fructose is nearly twice as sweet, but lactose is only about one-sixth as sweet. Comparisons are difficult, though, because perceived sweetness varies depending on the concentration of the solution being tasted and on personal opinion. Nevertheless, the ordering in TABLE 25.1 is generally accepted.\n\nThe desire of many people to cut their caloric intake has led to the development of synthetic sweeteners such as saccharin, aspartame, acesulfame, and sucralose. All are far sweeter than natural sugars, so the choice of one or another depends on personal taste, government regulations, and (for baked goods) heat stability. Saccharin, the oldest synthetic sweetener, has been used for more than a century, although it has a somewhat metallic aftertaste. Doubts about its safety and potential carcinogenicity were raised in the early 1970s, but it has now been cleared of suspicion for human consumption.\n\n\nFIGURE 25.13 The real thing comes from sugarcane fields like this one.

Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones. They are classified according to the number of carbon atoms and the kind of carbonyl group they contain. Glucose, for example, is an aldohexose, a six-carbon aldehydo sugar. Monosaccharides are further classified as either d sugars or l sugars, depending on the stereochemistry of the chirality center farthest from the carbonyl group. Carbohydrate stereochemistry is frequently depicted using Fischer projections, which represent a chirality center as the intersection of two crossed lines.\n\nMonosaccharides normally exist as cyclic hemiacetals rather than as open-chain aldehydes or ketones. The hemiacetal linkage results from reaction of the carbonyl group with an -OH group three or four carbon atoms away. A five-membered cyclic hemiacetal is called a furanose, and a six-membered cyclic hemiacetal is called a pyranose. Cyclization leads to the formation of a new chirality center called the anomeric center and the production of two diastereomeric hemiacetals called alpha ( $\\boldsymbol{\\alpha}$ ) and beta ( $\\boldsymbol{\\beta}$ ) anomers.\n\nMuch of the chemistry of monosaccharides is the familiar chemistry of alcohols and aldehydes/ketones. Thus, the hydroxyl groups of carbohydrates form esters and ethers. The carbonyl group of a monosaccharide can be reduced with $\\mathrm{NaBH}_{4}$ to form an alditol, oxidized with aqueous $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ to form an aldonic acid, oxidized with $\\mathrm{HNO}_{3}$ to form an aldaric acid, oxidized enzymatically to form a uronic acid, or treated with an alcohol in the presence of acid to form a glycoside.

The glycosidic bond can be either $\\alpha$ (maltose) or $\\beta$ (cellobiose, lactose) and can involve any hydroxyl of the second sugar.

For example, alanylserine is the dipeptide that results when an amide bond forms between the alanine carboxyl and the serine amino group.\n\n\nNote that two dipeptides can result from reaction between alanine and serine, depending on which carboxyl group reacts with which amino group. If the alanine amino group reacts with the serine carboxyl, serylalanine results.\n\n\nThe long, repetitive sequence of $-\\mathrm{N}-\\mathrm{CH}-\\mathrm{CO}-$ atoms that makes up a continuous chain is called the protein's backbone.

This overlap of the nitrogen $p$ orbital with the $p$ orbitals of the carbonyl group imparts a certain amount of double-bond character to the $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{N}$ bond and restricts rotation around it.

Because different compounds adsorb to the stationary phase to different extents, they migrate through the chromatography column at different rates and are separated as they emerge (elute) from the end.\n\nIn the ion-exchange technique, separated amino acids eluting from the chromatography column mix with a solution of a substance called ninhydrin and undergo a rapid reaction that produces an intense purple color.

In the Merrifield solid-phase method, peptide synthesis is carried out with the growing amino acid chain covalently bonded to small beads of a polymer resin, rather than in solution.\n\nIn the original procedure, polystyrene resin was used, prepared so that one of every hundred or so benzene rings contained a chloromethyl $\\left(-\\mathrm{CH}_{2} \\mathrm{Cl}\\right)$ group.

Fibrous proteins, such as the collagen in tendons and connective tissue and the myosin in muscle tissue, consist of polypeptide chains arranged side by side in long filaments. Because these proteins are tough and insoluble in water, they are used in nature for structural materials. Globular proteins, by contrast, are usually coiled into compact, roughly spherical shapes. These proteins are generally soluble in water and are mobile within cells. Most of the more than 3000 or so enzymes that have been characterized are globular proteins, including the 1300 different enzymes in the human body.\n\nProteins are so large that the word structure takes on a broader meaning than with simpler organic compounds. In fact, chemists speak of four different levels of structure when describing proteins.\n\n- The primary structure of a protein is simply the amino acid sequence.\n- The secondary structure of a protein describes how segments of the peptide backbone orient into a regular pattern.\n- The tertiary structure describes how the entire protein molecule coils into an overall three-dimensional shape.\n- The quaternary structure describes how different protein molecules come together to yield large aggregate structures.\n\nPrimary structure is determined, as we've seen, by sequencing the protein. Secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures are determined either by NMR or by X-ray crystallography (Chapter 12 Chemistry Matters)."} {"id": 1729, "contents": "FIGURE 26.5 MECHANISM - 26.9 Protein Structure\nPrimary structure is determined, as we've seen, by sequencing the protein. Secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures are determined either by NMR or by X-ray crystallography (Chapter 12 Chemistry Matters).\n\nThe most common secondary structures are the $\\alpha$ helix and the $\\beta$-pleated sheet. An $\\boldsymbol{\\alpha}$ helix is a right-handed coil of the protein backbone, much like the coil of a spiral staircase (FIGURE 26.6a). Each turn of the helix contains 3.6 amino acid residues, with a distance between coils of 540 pm , or 5.4 A. The structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between amide $\\mathrm{N}-\\mathrm{H}$ groups and $\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{O}$ groups four residues away, with an $\\mathrm{N}-\\mathrm{H} \\cdots \\mathrm{O}$ distance of $2.8 \\AA$. The $\\alpha$ helix is an extremely common secondary structure, and nearly all globular proteins contain many helical segments. Myoglobin, a small globular protein containing 153 amino acid residues in a single chain, is one example (FIGURE 26.6b).\n\nA $\\boldsymbol{\\beta}$-pleated sheet differs from an $\\alpha$ helix in that the peptide chain is fully extended rather than coiled and the hydrogen bonds occur between residues in adjacent chains (FIGURE 26.7a). The neighboring chains can run either in the same direction (parallel) or in opposite directions (antiparallel), although the antiparallel arrangement is more common and somewhat more energetically favorable.

Why does a protein adopt the shape it does? The forces that determine the tertiary structure of a protein are the same forces that act on all molecules, regardless of size, to provide maximum stability. Particularly important are the hydrophilic (water-loving; Section 2.12) interactions of the polar side chains on acidic or basic amino acids and the hydrophobic (water-fearing) interactions of nonpolar\nside chains. These acidic or basic amino acids with charged side chains tend to congregate on the exterior of the protein, where they can be solvated by water. Amino acids with neutral, nonpolar side chains tend to congregate on the hydrocarbon-like interior of a protein molecule, away from the aqueous medium.\n\nAlso important for stabilizing a protein's tertiary structure are the formation of disulfide bridges between cysteine residues, the formation of hydrogen bonds between nearby amino acid residues, and the presence of ionic attractions, called salt bridges, between positively and negatively charged sites on various amino acid side chains within the protein.\n\nBecause the tertiary structure of a globular protein is delicately maintained by weak intramolecular attractions, a modest change in temperature or pH is often enough to disrupt that structure and cause the protein to become denatured. Denaturation occurs under such mild conditions that the primary structure remains intact, but the tertiary structure unfolds from a specific globular shape to a randomly looped chain (FIGURE 26.8).\n\n\nFIGURE 26.8 A representation of protein denaturation.

Solubility is drastically decreased, as occurs when egg white is cooked and the albumins unfold and coagulate. Most enzymes lose all catalytic activity when denatured, since a precisely defined tertiary structure is required for their action. Although most denaturation is irreversible, some cases are known where spontaneous renaturation of an unfolded protein to its stable tertiary structure occurs, accompanied by a full recovery of biological activity."} {"id": 1732, "contents": "FIGURE 26.5 MECHANISM - 26.10 Enzymes and Coenzymes\nAn enzyme is a substance-usually a large protein-that acts as a catalyst for a biological reaction. Like all catalysts, an enzyme doesn't affect the equilibrium constant of a reaction and can't bring about a chemical change that is otherwise unfavorable. An enzyme acts only to lower the activation energy for a reaction, thereby making the reaction take place more rapidly than it otherwise would. Sometimes, in fact, the rate acceleration brought about by enzymes is extraordinary. Millionfold rate increases are common, and the glycosidase enzymes that hydrolyze polysaccharides increase the reaction rate by a factor of more than $10^{17}$, changing the time required for the reaction from millions of years to milliseconds!\n\nUnlike many of the catalysts that chemists use in the laboratory, enzymes are usually specific in their action. Often, in fact, an enzyme will catalyze only a single reaction of a single compound, called the enzyme's substrate. For example, the enzyme amylase, found in the human digestive tract, catalyzes only the hydrolysis of starch to yield glucose; cellulose and other polysaccharides are untouched by amylase.\n\nDifferent enzymes have different specificities. Some, such as amylase, are specific for a single substrate, but others operate on a range of substrates. Papain, for instance, a globular protein of 212 amino acids isolated from papaya fruit, catalyzes the hydrolysis of many kinds of peptide bonds. In fact, it's this ability to hydrolyze peptide bonds that makes papain useful as a cleaner for contact lenses.\n\n\nEnzymes function through a pathway that involves initial formation of an enzyme-substrate complex (E $\\cdot \\mathrm{S}$ ), followed by a multistep chemical conversion of the enzyme-bound substrate into enzyme-bound product ( $\\mathrm{E} \\cdot \\mathrm{P}$ )\nand final release of product from the complex.\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{E}+\\mathrm{S} \\rightleftarrows \\mathrm{E} \\cdot \\mathrm{~S} \\rightleftarrows \\mathrm{E} \\cdot \\mathrm{P} \\rightleftarrows \\mathrm{E}+\\mathrm{P}\n$$"} {"id": 1733, "contents": "FIGURE 26.5 MECHANISM - 26.10 Enzymes and Coenzymes\nThe overall rate constant for conversion of the $\\mathrm{E} \\cdot \\mathrm{S}$ complex to products $\\mathrm{E} \\cdot \\mathrm{P}$ is called the turnover number because it represents the number of substrate molecules a single enzyme molecule turns over into product per unit time. A value of about $10^{3}$ per second is typical, although carbonic anhydrase can reach a value of up to 600,000.\n\nThe extraordinary rate accelerations achieved by enzymes are due to a combination of several factors. One important factor is simple geometry: an enzyme will adjust its shape to hold the substrate, other reactants, and various catalytic sites on acidic or basic residues in the precise geometry needed for reaction. In addition, the wrapping of the enzyme around the substrate can create specialized microenvironments that protect the substrate from the aqueous medium and can dramatically change the behavior of acid-base catalytic residues in the active site. But perhaps most important is that the enzyme stabilizes and thus lowers the energy of the rate-limiting transition state for reaction. That is, it's not the ability of the enzyme to bind the substrate that matters but rather its ability to bind and stabilize the transition state. Often, in fact, the enzyme binds the transition structure as much as $10^{12}$ times more tightly than it binds the substrate or products. An energy diagram for an enzyme-catalyzed process might resemble that in FIGURE 26.9.\n\n\nFIGURE 26.9 Energy diagrams for uncatalyzed and enzyme-catalyzed processes.

Alternatively, an enantioselective synthesis of amino acids can be carried out using a chiral hydrogenation catalyst.\n\nDetermining the structure of a peptide or protein begins with amino acid analysis. The peptide is hydrolyzed to its constituent $\\alpha$-amino acids, which are separated and identified. Next, the peptide is sequenced. Edman degradation by treatment with phenyl isothiocyanate (PITC) cleaves one residue from the N terminus of the peptide and forms an easily identifiable phenylthiohydantoin (PTH) derivative of the $\\mathbf{N}$-terminal amino acid.

Amide formation occurs, the protecting groups are removed, and the sequence is repeated. Amines are usually protected as their tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) or fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) derivatives; acids are usually protected as esters. The synthesis is often carried out by the Merrifield solid-phase method, in which the peptide is bonded to insoluble polymer beads."} {"id": 1744, "contents": "Summary - \nProteins have four levels of structure.

Oleic acid is monounsaturated because it has only one double bond, whereas linoleic, linolenic, and arachidonic acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids because they have more than one double bond. Linoleic and linolenic acids occur in cream and are essential in the human diet; infants grow poorly and develop skin lesions if fed a diet of nonfat milk for prolonged periods. Linolenic acid, in particular, is an example of an omega- $\\mathbf{3}$ fatty acid, which has been found to lower blood triglyceride levels and reduce the risk of heart attack. The name omega-3 means that there is a double bond three carbons in from the noncarboxyl end of the chain.\n\n\nStearic acid\n\n\nLinolenic acid, an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid\nThe data in TABLE 27.1 show that unsaturated fatty acids generally have lower melting points than their saturated counterparts, a trend that is also true for triacylglycerols. Since vegetable oils generally have a higher proportion of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids than animal fats (TABLE 27.2), they have lower melting points. The difference is a consequence of structure. Saturated fats have a uniform shape that allows them to pack together efficiently in a crystal lattice. In unsaturated vegetable oils, however, the $\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{C}$ bonds introduce bends and kinks into the hydrocarbon chains, making crystal formation more difficult.

As early as 2800 BC, the Babylonians boiled fats with ashes to create a soap-like substance. Ancient Egyptian medical papyri dating from 1550 BC reveals that Egyptians bathed regularly with soap made from a mixture of animal fats, vegetable oils, and alkaline salts. Chemically, soap is a mixture of the sodium or potassium salts of the long-chain fatty acids produced by hydrolysis (saponification) of animal fat with alkali. Wood ash was used as a source of alkali until the early 1800s, when the LeBlanc process for making $\\mathrm{Na}_{2} \\mathrm{CO}_{3}$ by heating sodium sulfate with limestone became available."} {"id": 1767, "contents": "A fat ( $\\mathrm{R}=\\mathrm{C}_{11}-\\mathrm{C}_{19}$ Aliphatic chains) - \nGlycerol\n\nCrude soap curds contain glycerol and excess alkali as well as soap but can be purified by boiling with water and adding NaCl or KCl to precipitate the pure carboxylate salts. The smooth soap that precipitates is dried, perfumed, and pressed into bars for household use. Dyes are added to make colored soaps, antiseptics are added for medicated soaps, pumice is added for scouring soaps, and air is blown in for soaps that float. Regardless of these extra treatments and regardless of price, though, all soaps are basically the same.\n\nSoaps act as cleansers because the two ends of a soap molecule are so different. The carboxylate end of the longchain molecule is ionic and therefore hydrophilic (Section 2.12), or attracted to water. The long hydrocarbon portion of the molecule, however, is nonpolar and hydrophobic, avoiding water and therefore more soluble in oils. The net effect of these two opposing tendencies is that soaps are attracted to both oils and water and are therefore useful as cleansers.\n\nWhen soaps are dispersed in water, the long hydrocarbon tails cluster together on the inside of a tangled, hydrophobic ball, while the ionic heads on the surface of the cluster protrude into the water layer. These spherical clusters, called micelles, are shown schematically in FIGURE 27.2. Grease and oil droplets are solubilized in water when they are coated by the nonpolar, hydrophobic tails of soap molecules in the center of micelles. Once solubilized, the grease and dirt can be rinsed away.\n\n\nFIGURE 27.2 A soap micelle solubilizing a grease particle in water.

In hard water, which contains metal ions, soluble sodium carboxylates are converted into insoluble magnesium and calcium salts, leaving the familiar ring of scum around bathtubs and a gray tinge on white clothes.

What are the facts? It's well established that a diet rich in saturated animal fats often leads to an increase in blood serum cholesterol, particularly in sedentary, overweight individuals. Conversely, a diet lower in saturated fats and higher in polyunsaturated fats leads to a lower serum cholesterol level. Studies have shown that a serum cholesterol level greater than $240 \\mathrm{mg} / \\mathrm{dL}$ (a desirable value is $<200 \\mathrm{mg} / \\mathrm{dL}$ ) is correlated with an increased incidence of coronary artery disease, in which cholesterol deposits build up on the inner walls of coronary arteries, blocking the flow of blood to the heart muscles.\n\nA better indication of a person's risk of heart disease comes from a measurement of blood lipoprotein levels. Lipoproteins are complex molecules with both lipid and protein components that transport lipids through the body. They can be divided into three types according to density, as shown in TABLE 27.3. Very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) act primarily as carriers of triglycerides from the intestines to peripheral tissues, whereas low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) act as carriers of cholesterol to and from the liver.\n\n\nFIGURE 27.17 It's hard to resist, but a high intake of saturated animal fat doesn't do much for your cholesterol level. (credit: modification of work \"food-chicken-meat-outdoors\" by www.pixel.la/Flickr, Public Domain)\n\nEvidence suggests that LDLs transport cholesterol as its fatty-acid ester to peripheral tissues, whereas HDLs remove cholesterol as its stearate ester from dying cells. If LDLs deliver more cholesterol than is needed, and if insufficient HDLs are present to remove it, the excess is deposited in arteries. Thus, a low level of low-density lipoproteins is good because it means that less cholesterol is being transported, and a high level of high-density lipoproteins is good because it means that more cholesterol is being removed. In addition, HDL contains an enzyme that has antioxidant properties, offering further protection against heart disease."} {"id": 1796, "contents": "Saturated Fats, Cholesterol, and Heart Disease - \nAs a rule of thumb, a person's risk drops about $25 \\%$ for each increase of $5 \\mathrm{mg} / \\mathrm{dL}$ in HDL concentration.

Distance runners and other endurance athletes have HDL levels nearly $50 \\%$ higher than the general population. Failing that-some of us, but not everyone, wants to run 30 miles or bike 80 miles per week-diet is also important. Diets high in cold-water fish, like salmon and whitefish, raise HDL and lower blood cholesterol because these fish contain almost entirely polyunsaturated fat, including a large percentage of omega-3 fatty acids.

Animal fats and vegetable oils are the most widely occurring lipids. Both are triacylglycerols-triesters of glycerol with long-chain fatty acids. Animal fats are usually saturated, whereas vegetable oils usually have unsaturated fatty acid residues.\n\nPhospholipids are important constituents of cell membranes and are of two kinds. Glycerophospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, are closely related to fats in that they have a glycerol backbone esterified to two fatty acids (one saturated and one unsaturated) and to one phosphate ester. Sphingomyelins have the amino alcohol sphingosine for their backbone.\n\nEicosanoids and terpenoids are still other classes of lipids. Eicosanoids, of which prostaglandins are the most abundant kind, are derived biosynthetically from arachidonic acid, are found in all body tissues, and have a wide range of physiological activity. Terpenoids are often isolated from the essential oils of plants, have an immense diversity of structure, and are produced biosynthetically from the five-carbon precursor isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP). Isopentenyl diphosphate is itself biosynthesized from 3 equivalents of acetate in the mevalonate pathway.\n\nSteroids are plant and animal lipids with a characteristic tetracyclic carbon skeleton. Like the eicosanoids, steroids occur widely in body tissues and have a large variety of physiological activities. Steroids are closely related to terpenoids and arise biosynthetically from the triterpenoid lanosterol.

Note that in both examples the bases occur in pairs. Adenine and thymine are present in equal amounts, as are cytosine and guanine. Why?\n\nIn 1953, Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, James Watson, and Francis Crick published scientific reports describing the secondary structure of DNA. According to their model, DNA under physiological conditions consists of two polynucleotide strands, running in opposite directions and coiled around each other in a double helix like the handrails on a spiral staircase. The two strands are complementary rather than identical and are held together by hydrogen bonds between specific pairs of bases, A with $T$ and $C$ with $G$. That is, whenever an A base occurs in one strand, a T base occurs opposite it in the other strand; when a C base occurs in one, a G occurs in the other (FIGURE 28.3). This complementary base-pairing thus explains why A and $T$ are always found in equal amounts, as are $G$ and $C$.\n\nA\nT\n\n\nG\n\nFIGURE 28.3 Hydrogen-bonding between base pairs in the DNA double helix.

Hydrogen bonds are broken, the two strands separate to form a \"bubble,\" and bases are exposed. New nucleotides then line up on each strand in a complementary manner, A to T and G to C , and two new strands begin to grow from the ends of the bubble, called the replication forks. Each new strand is complementary to its old template strand, so two identical DNA double helices are produced (FIGURE 28.5). Because each of the new DNA molecules contains one old strand and one new strand, the process is described as semiconservative replication.\n\n\nFIGURE 28.5 A representation of semiconservative DNA replication.

The nucleus of every human cell contains 2 copies of 22 chromosomes plus an additional 2 sex chromosomes, for a total of 46 . Each chromosome consists of one very large DNA molecule, and the sum of the DNA in each of the two sets of chromosomes is estimated to be 3.0 billion base pairs, or 6.0 billion nucleotides. Despite the size of these enormous molecules, their base sequence\nis faithfully copied during replication. The entire copying process takes only a few hours and, after proofreading and repair, an error gets through only about once per 10 to 100 billion bases.

All RNA molecules are much smaller than DNA, and all remain single-stranded rather than double-stranded.\n\n- Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries genetic messages from DNA to ribosomes, small granular particles in the cytoplasm of a cell where protein synthesis takes place.\n- Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) complexed with protein provides the physical makeup of the ribosomes.\n- Transfer RNA (tRNA) transports amino acids to the ribosomes, where they are joined together to make proteins.\n- Small RNAs, also called functional RNAs, have a variety of functions within the cell, including silencing transcription and catalyzing chemical modifications of other RNA molecules.\n\nThe genetic information in DNA is contained in segments called genes, each of which consists of a specific nucleotide sequence that encodes a specific protein. The conversion of that information from DNA into proteins begins in the nucleus of cells with the synthesis of mRNA by transcription of DNA. In bacteria, the process begins when RNA polymerase recognizes and binds to a promoter sequence on DNA, typically consisting of around 40 base pairs located upstream ( 5 ') of the transcription start site. Within the promoter are two hexameric consensus sequences, one located 10 base pairs upstream of the start and the second located 35 base pairs upstream.\n\nFollowing formation of the polymerase-promoter complex, several turns of the DNA double helix untwist, forming a bubble and exposing 14 or so base pairs of the two strands.

That is, the complement of the complement is the same as the original. The only difference is that the RNA molecule has a U everywhere that the DNA sense strand has a T.\n\nAnother part of the picture in vertebrates and flowering plants is that genes are often not continuous segments of the DNA chain.

None of the extraordinary advances of the past several decades would have been possible, however, were it not for the discovery in 1977 of methods for sequencing immense DNA chains.\n\nThe first step in DNA sequencing is to cleave the enormous chain at known points to produce smaller, more manageable pieces, a task accomplished by the use of restriction endonucleases, or restriction enzymes. Each different restriction enzyme, of which more than 4000 are known and approximately 600 are commercially available, cleaves a DNA molecule at a point in the chain where a specific base sequence occurs. For example, the restriction enzyme AluI cleaves between $G$ and $C$ in the four-base sequence AG-CT. Note that the sequence is a palindrome, meaning that the sequence ( $5^{\\prime}$ )-AGCT-( $3^{\\prime}$ ) is the same as its complement ( $3^{\\prime}$ )-TCGA-( $5^{\\prime}$ ) when both are read in the same $5^{\\prime} \\rightarrow 3^{\\prime}$ direction. The same is true for other restriction endonucleases.\n\nIf the original DNA molecule is cut with another restriction enzyme having a different specificity for cleavage, still other segments are produced whose sequences partially overlap those produced by the first enzyme. Sequencing all the segments, followed by identification of the overlapping regions, allows for complete DNA sequencing.\n\nA dozen or so different methods of DNA sequencing are now available, and many others are under development. The Sanger dideoxy method is among the most frequently used and was the method responsible for first sequencing the entire human genome of 3.0 billion base pairs. In commercial sequencing instruments, the dideoxy method begins with a mixture of the following:"} {"id": 1830, "contents": "CUU-AUG-GCU-UGG-CCC-UAA - 28.6 DNA Sequencing\n- The restriction fragment to be sequenced\n- A small piece of DNA called a primer, whose sequence is complementary to that on the $3^{\\prime}$ end of the restriction fragment\n- The four 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs)\n- Very small amounts of the four $2^{\\prime}, 3^{\\prime}$-dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (ddNTPs), each of which is labeled with a fluorescent dye of a different color (A $2^{\\prime}, 3^{\\prime}$-dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphate is one in which both $2^{\\prime}$ and $3^{\\prime}-\\mathrm{OH}$ groups are missing from ribose.)\n\n\nA 2'-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP)\n\n\nA 2', 3'-dideoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (ddNTP)\n\nDNA polymerase is added to the mixture, and a strand of DNA complementary to the restriction fragment begins to grow from the end of the primer. Most of the time, only normal deoxyribonucleotides are incorporated into the growing chain because of their much higher concentration in the mixture, but every so often, a dideoxyribonucleotide is incorporated. When that happens, DNA synthesis stops because the chain end no longer has a $3^{\\prime}$-hydroxyl group for adding further nucleotides.\n\nWhen reaction is complete, the product consists of a mixture of DNA fragments of all possible lengths, each terminated by one of the four dye-labeled dideoxyribonucleotides. This product mixture is then separated according to the size of the pieces by gel electrophoresis (Section 26.2), and the identity of the terminal dideoxyribonucleotide in each piece-and thus the sequence of the restriction fragment-is determined by\nnoting the color with which the attached dye fluoresces.

The sequencing price per genome is dropping rapidly and is currently less than $\\$ 1,000$, meaning that the routine sequencing of individuals is within reach.\n\nRemarkably, our genome appears to contain only about 21,000 genes, less than one-fourth the previously predicted number and only about twice the number found in the common roundworm. It's also interesting to note that the number of genes in a human $(21,000)$ is much smaller than the number of kinds of proteins (perhaps 500,000).

Each nucleotide has multiple reactive sites that must be selectively protected and deprotected at specific times, and coupling of the four nucleotides must be carried out in the proper sequence. Automated DNA synthesizers are available, however, that allow the fast and reliable synthesis of DNA segments up to 200 nucleotides in length.\n\nDNA synthesizers operate on a principle similar to that of the Merrifield solid-phase peptide synthesizer (Section 26.8). In essence, a protected nucleotide is covalently bonded to a solid support, and one nucleotide at a time is added to the growing chain by the use of a coupling reagent.

The invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by Kary Mullis in 1986 has been described as being to genes what Gutenberg's invention of the printing press was to the written word. Just as the printing press produces multiple copies of a book, PCR produces multiple copies of a given DNA sequence. Starting from less than 1 picogram ( pg ) of DNA with a chain length of 10,000 nucleotides ( $1 \\mathrm{pg}=10^{-12} \\mathrm{~g}$; about $10^{5}$ molecules), PCR makes it possible to obtain several micrograms ( $1 \\mu \\mathrm{~g}=10^{-6} \\mathrm{~g}$; about $10^{11}$ molecules) in just a few hours.\n\nThe key to the polymerase chain reaction is Taq DNA polymerase, a heat-stable enzyme isolated from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus found in a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park. Taq polymerase is able to take a single strand of DNA having a short, primer segment of complementary chain at one end and then finish constructing the entire complementary strand. The overall process takes three steps, as shown in FIGURE 28.10. More recently, improved heat-stable DNA polymerases have become available, including Vent polymerase and Pfu polymerase, both isolated from bacteria growing near geothermal vents in the ocean floor.

Furthermore, the STR loci are slightly different for everyone except identical twins. By sequencing these loci, a pattern unique to each person can be obtained.\n\nPerhaps the most common and well-publicized use of DNA fingerprinting is that carried out by crime laboratories to link suspects to biological evidence-blood, hair follicles, skin, or semen-found at a crime scene. Many thousands of court cases have been decided based on DNA evidence.\n\nFor use in criminal cases, forensic laboratories in the United States have agreed on 13 core STR loci that are most accurate for the identification of an individual. Based on these 13 loci, a Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) has been established to serve as a registry of convicted offenders. When a DNA sample is obtained from a crime scene, the sample is subjected to cleavage with restriction endonucleases to cut out fragments containing the STR loci, the fragments are amplified using the polymerase chain reaction, and the sequences of the fragments are determined.\n\nIf the profile of sequences from a known individual and the profile from DNA obtained at a crime scene match, the probability is approximately 82 billion to 1 that the DNA is from the same individual. In paternity cases, where the DNA of male parent and offspring are related but not fully identical, the identity of the male parent can be established with a probability of around 100,000 to 1 . Even after several generations, paternity can still be inferred from DNA analysis of the $Y$ chromosome of direct male-line descendants. The most well-known such case is that of Thomas Jefferson, one of the nation's founders, who likely impregnated enslaved person Sally Hemings. Although Jefferson himself has no male-line descendants, DNA analysis of the male-line descendants of Jefferson's paternal uncle contained the same Y chromosome as a male-line descendant of Eston Hemings, the youngest son of Sally Hemings.

In this chapter, we'll look at some of the pathways by which organisms carry out their chemistry, focusing primarily on how they metabolize fats and carbohydrates. The treatment will be far from complete, but it should give you an idea of the kinds of processes that occur.\n\nAnyone who wants to understand or contribute to the revolution now taking place in the biological sciences must first understand life processes at the molecular level. This understanding, in turn, must be based on a detailed knowledge of the chemical reactions and pathways used by living organisms. Just knowing what occurs is not enough; it's also necessary to understand how and why organisms use the chemistry they do.\n\nBiochemical reactions are not mysterious. Even though the biological reactions that take place in living organisms often appear complicated, they follow the same rules of reactivity as laboratory reactions and they operate by the same mechanisms.\n\nSome of the molecules we'll be encountering are substantially larger and more complex than those we've been dealing with thus far. But don't be intimidated; keep your focus on the parts of the molecules where changes occur, and ignore the parts where nothing changes. The reactions themselves are exactly the same additions, eliminations, substitutions, carbonyl condensations, and so forth, that we've been dealing with all along. By the end of this chapter, it should be clear that the chemistry of living organisms is organic chemistry."} {"id": 1848, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 29.1 An Overview of Metabolism and Biochemical Energy\nThe many reactions that occur in the cells of living organisms are collectively called metabolism. The pathways that break down larger molecules into smaller ones are called catabolism, and the pathways that synthesize larger biomolecules from smaller ones are known as anabolism. Catabolic reaction pathways are usually exergonic and release energy, while anabolic pathways are often endergonic and absorb energy. Catabolism can be divided into the four stages shown in FIGURE 29.2.\n\n\nFIGURE 29.2 An overview of catabolic pathways for the degradation of food and the production of biochemical energy. The ultimate products of food catabolism are $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$, with the energy released in the citric acid cycle used to drive the endergonic synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) plus hydrogen phosphate ion, $\\mathrm{HOPO}_{3}{ }^{2-}$.\n\nIn the first catabolic stage, commonly called digestion, food is broken down in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine by hydrolysis of ester, acetal (glycoside), and amide (peptide) bonds to yield fatty acids, simple sugars,\nand amino acids. These smaller molecules are then absorbed and further degraded in the second stage of catabolism to yield acetyl groups attached by a thioester bond to the large carrier molecule, coenzyme A. The resultant compound, acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA), is a key substance in the metabolism of food molecules and in many other biological pathways. As noted in Section 21.8, the acetyl group in acetyl CoA is linked to the sulfur atom of phosphopantetheine, which is itself linked to adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate."} {"id": 1849, "contents": "Acetyl CoA-a thioester - \nAcetyl groups are oxidized inside cellular mitochondria in the third stage of catabolism, the citric acid cycle, to yield $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$. (We'll see the details of the process in Section 29.7.) Like most oxidations, this stage releases a large amount of energy, which is used in the fourth stage, the electron-transport chain, to accomplish the endergonic phosphorylation of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) with hydrogen phosphate ion ( $\\mathrm{HOPO}_{3}{ }^{2-}$, abbreviated $\\mathrm{P}_{\\mathrm{i}}$ ) to give adenosine triphosphate (ATP).\n\nAs the final result of food catabolism, ATP has been called the \"energy currency\" of the cell. Catabolic reactions \"buy\" ATP with the energy they release to synthesize it from ADP and hydrogen phosphate ion. Anabolic reactions then spend the ATP by transferring a phosphate group to another molecule, thereby regenerating ADP. Energy production and use in living organisms thus revolves around the ATP $\\rightleftarrows$ ADP interconversion.\n\n\nbreaking a $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{O}$ bond and forming a carboxylic ester, ROCOR' (Section 21.5), phosphoric acid anhydrides react with alcohols by breaking a $\\mathrm{P}-\\mathrm{O}$ bond and forming a phosphate ester, $\\mathrm{ROPO}_{3}{ }^{2-}$.

The deprotonated serine adds to a carbonyl group of a triacylglycerol to give a tetrahedral intermediate, which expels a diacylglycerol as a leaving group and produces an acyl enzyme.

The acetyl CoA, in turn, arises primarily from the metabolic breakdown of carbohydrates in the glycolysis pathway, which we'll see in Section 29.5. Thus, dietary carbohydrates consumed in excess of immediate energy needs are turned into fats for storage.\n\nAs a general rule in biological chemistry, the anabolic pathway by which a substance is made is not the reverse of the catabolic pathway by which the same substance is degraded.

It's estimated that up to one-third of women and one-half of men will develop the disease at some point in their lives.\n\nThe onset of coronary heart disease is directly correlated with blood cholesterol levels (see the Chapter 27 Chemistry Matters), and the first step in disease prevention is to lower those levels. It turns out that only about $25 \\%$ of your blood cholesterol comes from what you eat; the remaining $75 \\%$-about 1 gram each day-is biosynthesized in your liver from dietary fats and carbohydrates. Thus, any effective plan for lowering your cholesterol level means limiting the amount that your body makes, which is where a detailed chemical knowledge of cholesterol biosynthesis comes in.\n\n\nFIGURE 29.18 The buildup of cholesterol deposits inside arteries can cause coronary heart disease, a leading cause of death for adults in industrialized nations.\n\nWe saw in Section 27.5 and Section 27.7 that all steroids, including cholesterol, are biosynthesized from the triterpenoid lanosterol, which in turn comes from acetyl CoA through isopentenyl diphosphate. If you knew all the mechanisms for all the chemical steps in cholesterol biosynthesis, you might be able to devise a drug that would block one of those steps, thereby short-circuiting the biosynthetic process and controlling the amount of cholesterol produced.\n\nBut we do know those mechanisms! Look back at the pathway for the biosynthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate from acetyl CoA, shown in FIGURE 27.8. It turns out that the rate-limiting step in the pathway is the reduction of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (abbreviated HMG-CoA) to mevalonate, brought about by the enzyme HMGCoA reductase.

If cholesterol was produced only in the presence of added mevalonate but not in the absence of mevalonate, the drug candidate must have blocked the enzyme for mevalonate synthesis.\n\nThe drugs that block HMG-CoA reductase, and thus control cholesterol synthesis in the body, are called statins.

The fatty acids are degraded in the four-step $\\boldsymbol{\\beta}$-oxidation pathway by removal of two carbons at a time, yielding acetyl CoA. Catabolism of carbohydrates begins with the hydrolysis of glycoside bonds to give glucose, which is degraded in the ten-step glycolysis pathway.

The cycle is a closed loop of reactions in which the product of the final step (oxaloacetate) is a reactant in the first step.\n\nCatabolism of proteins is more complex than that of fats or carbohydrates because each of the 20 different amino acids is degraded by its own unique pathway. In general, though, the amino nitrogen atoms are removed and the substances that remain are converted into compounds that enter the citric acid cycle.

Broad outlines of both polar and radical reactions have been in place for more than a century, but our understanding of pericyclic reactions has emerged more recently. Prior to the mid-1960s, in fact, they were even occasionally referred to as \"no-mechanism reactions.\" They occur largely in the laboratory rather than in biological processes, but a knowledge of them is necessary, both for completeness in studying organic chemistry and in understanding biological pathways where they do occur.\n\nMost organic reactions take place by polar mechanisms, in which a nucleophile donates two electrons to an electrophile in forming a new bond. Other reactions take place by radical mechanisms, in which each of two reactants donates one electron in forming a new bond. Both kinds of reactions occur frequently in the laboratory and in living organisms. Less common, however, is the third major class of organic reactions-pericyclic reactions.\n\nA pericyclic reaction is one that occurs by a concerted process through a cyclic transition state. A concerted reaction is one in which all bonding changes occur simultaneously; no intermediates are involved. Rather than try to expand this definition now, we'll begin by briefly reviewing some of the ideas of molecular orbital theory introduced in the chapters on Structure and Bonding and Conjugated Compounds and Ultraviolet Spectroscopy and then looking individually at the three main classes of pericyclic reactions: electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic rearrangements."} {"id": 1917, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 30.1 Molecular Orbitals of Conjugated Pi Systems\nA conjugated polyene, as we saw in Section 14.1, is one with alternating double and single bonds. According to molecular orbital (MO) theory, the $p$ orbitals on the $s p^{2}$-hybridized carbons of a conjugated polyene interact to form a set of $\\pi$ molecular orbitals whose energies depend on the number of nodes they have between nuclei. Molecular orbitals with fewer nodes are lower in energy than isolated $p$ atomic orbitals and are bonding MOs; molecular orbitals with more nodes are higher in energy than isolated $p$ orbitals and are antibonding MOs. Pi molecular orbitals of ethylene and 1,3-butadiene are shown in FIGURE 30.2.\n\n\nA similar sort of molecular orbital description can be derived for any conjugated $\\pi$ electron system. 1,3,5-Hexatriene, for example, has three double bonds and six $\\pi$ MOs, as shown in FIGURE 30.3. In the ground state, only the three bonding orbitals, $\\psi_{1}, \\psi_{2}$, and $\\psi_{3}$, are filled.

(An asterisk denotes an antibonding orbital.)\n\nWhat do molecular orbitals and their nodes have to do with pericyclic reactions? The answer is, everything. According to a series of rules formulated in the mid-1960s by R. B. Woodward and Roald Hoffmann at Harvard University, a pericyclic reaction can take place only if the symmetries of the reactant MOs are the same as the symmetries of the product MOs. In other words, the lobes of reactant MOs must be of the correct algebraic sign for bonding to occur in the transition state leading to product."} {"id": 1918, "contents": "CHAPTER CONTENTS - 30.1 Molecular Orbitals of Conjugated Pi Systems\nIf the symmetries of reactant and product orbitals match up, or correlate, the reaction is said to be symmetryallowed.

Symmetry-allowed reactions often occur under relatively mild conditions, but symmetrydisallowed reactions can't occur by concerted paths.

Hoffman and Fukui shared a Nobel Prize for their work, and Woodward would have joined them (for his second Nobel Prize) had he not passed away before the award was made. According to Fukui's simplified version, we need to consider only two molecular orbitals, called the frontier orbitals. These frontier orbitals are the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). In ground-state $1,3,5$-hexatriene, for example, $\\psi_{3}$ is the HOMO and $\\psi_{4}{ }^{*}$ is the LUMO (FIGURE 30.3).

Let's look first at a group of polyene rearrangements called electrocyclic reactions. An electrocyclic reaction is a pericyclic process that involves the cyclization of a conjugated acyclic polyene. One $\\pi$ bond is broken, the other $\\pi$ bonds change position, a new $\\sigma$ bond is formed, and a cyclic compound results. For example, a conjugated triene can be converted into a cyclohexadiene, and a conjugated diene can be converted into a cyclobutene."} {"id": 1920, "contents": "A conjugated triene - \nA cyclohexadiene"} {"id": 1921, "contents": "A cyclobutene - \nPericyclic reactions are reversible, and the position of the equilibrium depends on the specific case. In general, the triene $\\rightleftarrows$ cyclohexadiene equilibrium favors the cyclic product, whereas the diene $\\rightleftarrows$ cyclobutene equilibrium favors the less strained open-chain product.\n\nThe most striking feature of electrocyclic reactions is their stereochemistry. For example, ( $2 E, 4 Z, 6 E$ )-2,4,6-octatriene yields only cis-5,6-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene when heated, and ( $2 E, 4 Z, 6 Z$ )-2,4,6-octatriene yields only trans- 5,6 -dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene. Remarkably, however, the stereochemical results change completely when the reactions are carried out under what are called photochemical, rather than thermal, conditions. Irradiation of ( $2 E, 4 Z, 6 E$ )-2,4,6-octatriene with ultraviolet light (denoted hv) yields trans-5,6-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene (FIGURE 30.4)."} {"id": 1922, "contents": "A cyclobutene - \n$\\begin{array}{cc}(2 E, 4 Z, 6 Z)-2,4,6- & \\text { trans-5,6-Dimethyl-1,3- } \\\\ \\text { Octatriene } & \\text { cyclohexadiene }\\end{array}$\nFIGURE 30.4 Electrocyclic interconversions of 2,4,6-octatriene isomers and 5,6-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene isomers.\nA similar result is obtained for the thermal electrocyclic ring-opening of 3,4-dimethylcyclobutene. The trans isomer yields only $(2 E, 4 E)-2,4$-hexadiene when heated, and the cis isomer yields only ( $2 E, 4 Z$ )-2,4-hexadiene. On UV irradiation, however, the results are opposite. Cyclization of the $2 E, 4 E$ isomer under photochemical conditions yields cis product (FIGURE 30.5).\n\n\nTo account for these results, we need to look at the two outermost lobes of the polyene MOs-the lobes that interact when cyclization occurs. There are two possibilities: lobes of like sign can be either on the same side of the molecule or on opposite sides.\n\n\nLike lobes on same side\n\n\nLike lobes on opposite side\n\nFor a bond to form, the outermost $\\pi$ lobes must rotate so that favorable bonding interaction is achieved-a positive lobe with a positive lobe or a negative lobe with a negative lobe.

This kind of motion is referred to as disrotatory.\n\n\nConversely, if lobes of like sign are on opposite sides of the molecule, both orbitals must rotate in the same direction, either both clockwise or both counterclockwise. This kind of motion is called conrotatory."} {"id": 1923, "contents": "A cyclobutene - 30.3 Stereochemistry of Thermal Electrocyclic Reactions\nHow can we predict whether conrotatory or disrotatory motion will occur in a given case? According to frontier orbital theory, the stereochemistry of an electrocyclic reaction is determined by the symmetry of the polyene HOMO. The electrons in the HOMO are the highest-energy, most loosely held electrons and are therefore most easily moved during reaction. For thermal reactions, the ground-state electron configuration is used to identify the HOMO; for photochemical reactions, the excited-state electron configuration is used.\n\nLet's look again at the thermal ring-closure of conjugated trienes. According to FIGURE 30.3, the HOMO of a conjugated triene in its ground state has lobes of like sign on the same side of the molecule, a symmetry that predicts disrotatory ring-closure. This disrotatory cyclization is precisely what is observed in the thermal cyclization of $2,4,6$-octatriene. The $2 E, 4 Z, 6 E$ isomer yields cis product; the $2 E, 4 Z, 6 Z$ isomer yields trans product (FIGURE 30.6).\n\n\nIn the same way, the ground-state HOMO of conjugated dienes (FIGURE 30.2) has a symmetry that predicts conrotatory ring-closure. In practice, however, the conjugated diene reaction can be observed only in the reverse direction (cyclobutene $\\rightarrow$ diene) because of the position of the equilibrium. We therefore find that the 3,4-dimethylcyclobutene ring opens in a conrotatory fashion. cis-3,4-Dimethylcyclobutene yields ( $2 E, 4 Z$ )-2,4-hexadiene, and trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene yields ( $2 E, 4 E$ )-2,4-hexadiene by conrotatory opening (FIGURE 30.7).\n\n\nFIGURE 30.7 Thermal ring-openings of cis- and trans-dimethylcyclobutene occur by conrotatory paths."} {"id": 1924, "contents": "A cyclobutene - 30.3 Stereochemistry of Thermal Electrocyclic Reactions\nFIGURE 30.7 Thermal ring-openings of cis- and trans-dimethylcyclobutene occur by conrotatory paths.\n\nNote that a conjugated diene and a conjugated triene react with opposite stereochemistry.

But because electronic excitation changes the symmetries of HOMO and LUMO, it also changes the reaction stereochemistry.

As with electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions are governed by the orbital symmetry of the reactants. Symmetry-allowed processes often take place readily, but symmetry-disallowed processes take place with difficulty, if at all, and then only by nonconcerted pathways. Let's look at two examples to see how they differ.\n\nAs we saw in Section 14.4, the Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction is a pericyclic process that takes place between a diene (four $\\pi$ electrons) and a dienophile (two $\\pi$ electrons) to yield a cyclohexene product. Many thousands of Diels-Alder reactions are known. They often take place easily at room temperature or slightly above, and they are stereospecific with respect to substituents. For example, room-temperature reaction between 1,3-butadiene and diethyl maleate (cis) exclusively yields the cis-disubstituted cyclohexene product. A similar reaction between 1,3-butadiene and diethyl fumarate (trans) exclusively yields the trans-disubstituted product.\n\n\nIn contrast to the [4 +2$]$ - $\\pi$-electron Diels-Alder reaction, the $[2+2]$ - $\\pi$-electron cycloaddition between two alkenes does not occur thermally.

This can happen in either of two ways, called suprafacial and antarafacial. Suprafacial cycloadditions take place when a bonding interaction occurs between lobes on the same face of one reactant and lobes on the same face of the other reactant. Antarafacial cycloadditions take place when a bonding interaction occurs between lobes on the same face of one reactant and lobes on opposite faces of the other reactant (FIGURE 30.9).\n\n(b) Antarafacial\nLike lobes\non opposite\nfaces\nLike lobes on same face"} {"id": 1927, "contents": "A cyclobutene - 30.5 Cycloaddition Reactions\n(b) Antarafacial\nLike lobes\non opposite\nfaces\nLike lobes on same face\n\n\nFIGURE 30.9 (a) Suprafacial cycloaddition occurs when there is bonding between lobes on the same face of one reactant and lobes on the same face of the other reactant.

According to frontier orbital theory, a cycloaddition reaction takes place when a bonding interaction occurs between the HOMO of one reactant and the LUMO of the other. An intuitive explanation of this rule is to imagine that one reactant donates electrons to the other. As with electrocyclic reactions, it's the electrons in the HOMO of the first reactant that are least tightly held and most likely to be donated. Of course when the second reactant accepts those electrons, they must go into a vacant, unoccupied orbital-the LUMO.\n\nFor a [4 + 2] cycloaddition (Diels-Alder reaction), let's arbitrarily select the diene LUMO and the alkene HOMO. The symmetries of the two ground-state orbitals are such that bonding of the terminal lobes can occur with suprafacial geometry (FIGURE 30.10), so the Diels-Alder reaction takes place readily under thermal conditions.

The explanation for this follows from orbital-symmetry arguments. Looking at the ground-state HOMO of one alkene and the LUMO of the second alkene, it's apparent that a thermal $[2+2]$ cycloaddition must take place by an antarafacial pathway (FIGURE 30.11a). Geometric constraints make the antarafacial transition state difficult, however, and so concerted thermal [2 + 2] cycloadditions are not observed.\nIn contrast with the thermal process, photochemical [2 + 2] cycloadditions are observed.

As shown in the following example, a 1-5 diene with an -OH next to the double bond can be converted into an oxy-anion by reaction with a strong base such as potassium hydride (KH). A Cope rearrangement then occurs, and reaction with aqueous acid gives an enol that tautomerizes to an aldehyde.\n\n\nAlthough biological examples of pericyclic reactions are relatively rare, a much-studied example occurs in bacteria during biosynthesis of the essential amino acid phenylalanine. Phenylalanine arises from the precursor chorismate through a Claisen rearrangement to prephenate, followed by decarboxylation to phenylpyruvate and reductive amination (FIGURE 30.16). You might note that the reductive amination of phenylpyruvate is the exact reverse of the transamination process shown in FIGURE 29.17, by which amino acids are deaminated. In addition, the reductive amination of ketones is a standard method for preparing amines in the laboratory, as we saw in Section 24.6."} {"id": 1935, "contents": "Claisen rearrangement - \nPhenylalanine\nFIGURE 30.16 Pathway for the bacterial biosynthesis of phenylalanine from chorismate, involving a Claisen rearrangement.\nPROBLEM Propose a mechanism to account for the fact that heating 1-deuterioindene scrambles the isotope 30-9 label to all three positions on the five-membered ring.\n\n\n1-Deuterioindene\nPROBLEM What product would you expect from Claisen rearrangement of 2-butenyl phenyl ether? 30-10\n\n\n2-Butenyl phenyl ether\nPROBLEM When a 2,6-disubstituted allyl phenyl ether is heated in an attempted Claisen rearrangement,\n30-11 migration occurs to give the $p$-allyl product as the result of two sequential pericyclic reactions.

There are three major classes of pericyclic processes: electrocyclic reactions, cycloaddition reactions, and sigmatropic rearrangements. The stereochemistry of these reactions is controlled by the symmetry of the orbitals involved in bond reorganization.\n\nElectrocyclic reactions involve the cyclization of conjugated acyclic polyenes. For example, 1,3,5-hexatriene cyclizes to 1,3 -cyclohexadiene on heating. Electrocyclic reactions can occur by either conrotatory or disrotatory pathways, depending on the symmetry of the terminal lobes of the $\\pi$ system. Conrotatory cyclization requires that both lobes rotate in the same direction, whereas disrotatory cyclization requires that the lobes rotate in opposite directions. The reaction course in a specific case can be found by looking at the symmetry of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO).\n\nCycloaddition reactions are those in which two unsaturated molecules add together to yield a cyclic product. For example, Diels-Alder reaction between a diene (four $\\pi$ electrons) and a dienophile (two $\\pi$ electrons) yields a cyclohexene. Cycloadditions can take place either by suprafacial or antarafacial pathways. Suprafacial cycloaddition involves interaction between lobes on the same face of one component and on the same face of the second component. Antarafacial cycloaddition involves interaction between lobes on the same face of one component and on opposite faces of the other component.

In medicine, too, their importance is growing, with uses as diverse as cardiac pacemakers, artificial heart valves, and biodegradable sutures.\n\nWe've seen on several occasions in previous chapters that a polymer, whether synthetic or biological, is a large molecule built up by repetitive bonding of many smaller units, or monomers. Polyethylene, for instance, is a synthetic polymer made from ethylene (Section 8.10), nylon is a synthetic polyamide made from a diacid and a diamine (Section 21.9), and proteins are biological polyamides made from amino acids. Note that polymers are\noften drawn by indicating their repeating unit in parentheses.

These categories are somewhat imprecise but nevertheless provide a useful distinction. Chain-growth polymers are produced by chain-reaction polymerization in which an initiator adds to the carbon-carbon double bond of an unsaturated substrate (a vinyl monomer) to yield a reactive intermediate. This intermediate reacts with a second molecule of monomer to yield a new intermediate, which reacts with a third monomer unit, and so on.\n\nThe initiator can be a radical, an acid, or a base. Historically, as we saw in Section 8.10, radical polymerization was the most common method because it can be carried out with practically any vinyl monomer.\n\n\nAcid-catalyzed (cationic) polymerization, by contrast, is effective only with vinyl monomers that contain an electron-donating group (EDG) capable of stabilizing the chain-carrying carbocation intermediate.\n\nwhere $E D G=$ an electron-donating group\nIsobutylene (2-methylpropene) is a good example of a monomer that polymerizes rapidly under cationic conditions.

Propylene, for example, might polymerize with any of the three stereochemical outcomes shown in FIGURE 31.2.

Coordination of alkene monomer to the titanium occurs, and the coordinated alkene then inserts into the carbon-titanium bond to extend the alkyl chain.

(3) Reaction of this new catalyst with olefin 2 gives another metallacycle intermediate, (4) which opens to give metathesis product and another form of catalyst. $(5,6)$ The repeating ring-forming and ring-opening steps then continue.\n\nThere are several methods for implementing the olefin metathesis reaction to prepare polymers. One method, called ring-opening metathesis polymerization, or ROMP, involves the use of a moderately strained cycloalkene, such as cyclopentene. The strain of the ring favors ring-opening, thereby driving formation of the open-chain product.

They're much larger, of course, but their chemistry is similar to that of analogous small molecules. Thus, the alkane chains of polyethylene undergo radical-initiated halogenation, the aromatic rings of polystyrene undergo typical electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, and the amide linkages of nylon are hydrolyzed by aqueous base.\n\nThe major difference between small and large organic molecules is in their physical properties. For instance, their large size means that polymers experience substantially greater van der Waals forces than do small molecules (Section 2.12). But because van der Waals forces operate only at close distances, they are strongest in polymers like high-density polyethylene, in which chains can pack together closely in a regular way. Many\npolymers, in fact, have regions that are essentially crystalline. These regions, called crystallites, consist of highly ordered portions in which the zigzag polymer chains are held together by van der Waals forces (FIGURE 31.4).\n\n\nFIGURE 31.4 Crystallites in linear polyethylene. The long polymer chains are arranged in parallel lines in the crystallite regions.\nAs you might expect, polymer crystallinity is strongly affected by the steric requirements of substituent groups on the chains. Linear polyethylene is highly crystalline, but poly(methyl methacrylate) is noncrystalline because the chains can't pack closely together in a regular way. Polymers with a high degree of crystallinity are generally hard and durable. When heated, the crystalline regions melt at the melt transition temperature, $\\boldsymbol{T}_{\\mathbf{m}}$, to give an amorphous material.\n\nNoncrystalline, amorphous polymers like poly(methyl methacrylate), sold under the trade name Plexiglas, have little or no long-range ordering among chains but can nevertheless be very hard at room temperature. When heated, the hard amorphous polymer becomes soft and flexible at a point called the glass transition temperature, $\\boldsymbol{T}_{\\mathbf{g}}$. Much of the art in polymer synthesis lies in finding methods for controlling the degree of crystallinity and the glass transition temperature, thereby imparting useful properties to the polymer."} {"id": 1969, "contents": "Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) - 31.7 Polymer Structure and Physical Properties\nIn general, polymers can be divided into four major categories, depending on their physical behavior: thermoplastics, fibers, elastomers, and thermosetting resins. Thermoplastics are the polymers most people think of when the word plastic is mentioned. These polymers have a high glass transition temperature and are therefore hard at room temperature but become soft and viscous when heated. As a result, they can be molded into toys, beads, telephone housings, or any of a thousand other items. Because thermoplastics have little or no cross-linking, the individual chains can slip past one another in the melt. Some thermoplastic polymers, such as poly(methyl methacrylate) and polystyrene, are amorphous and noncrystalline; others, such as polyethylene and nylon, are partially crystalline. Among the better-known thermoplastics is poly(ethylene terephthalate), or PET, used for making plastic soft-drink bottles.\n\n\nPoly(ethylene terephthalate)\n\nPlasticizers-small organic molecules that act as lubricants between chains-are usually added to thermoplastics to keep them from becoming brittle at room temperature. An example is poly(vinyl chloride), which is brittle when pure but becomes supple and pliable when a plasticizer is added. In fact, most drip bags used in hospitals to deliver intravenous saline solutions are made of poly(vinyl chloride), although replacements such as polypropylene are appearing.\n\nDialkyl phthalates such as di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (generally called dioctyl phthalate) are commonly used as plasticizers, although questions about their safety have been raised. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration\n(FDA) has advised the use of alternative materials in compromised patients and infants but has found no evidence of toxicity for healthy individuals. In addition, children's toys that contain phthalates have been banned in the United States.\n\n\nFibers are thin threads produced by extruding a molten polymer through small holes in a die, or spinneret. The fibers are then cooled and drawn out, which orients the crystallite regions along the axis of the fiber and adds considerable tensile strength FIGURE 31.5.

These polymers must have low glass transition temperatures and a small amount of cross-linking to prevent the chains from slipping over one another. In addition, the chains must have an irregular shape to prevent crystallite formation. When stretched, the randomly coiled chains straighten out and orient along the direction of the pull. Van der Waals forces are too weak and too few to maintain this orientation, however, and the elastomer therefore reverts to its random coiled state when the stretching force is released (FIGURE 31.6).\n\n\nFIGURE 31.6 Unstretched and stretched forms of an elastomer.\nNatural rubber (Section 14.6) is the most common example of an elastomer. Rubber has the long chains and occasional cross-links needed for elasticity, but its irregular geometry prevents close packing of the chains into crystallites. Gutta-percha, by contrast, is highly crystalline and is not an elastomer (FIGURE 31.7).\n\n(b)\n\n\nFIGURE 31.7 (a) Natural rubber is elastic and noncrystalline because of its cis double-bond geometry, but (b) gutta-percha is nonelastic and crystalline because its geometry allows for better packing together of chains.\n\nThermosetting resins are polymers that become highly cross-linked and solidify into a hard, insoluble mass when heated. Bakelite, a thermosetting resin first produced in 1907, has been in commercial use longer than any other synthetic polymer. It is widely used for molded parts, adhesives, coatings, and even high-temperature applications such as missile nose cones.\n\nChemically, Bakelite is a phenolic resin, produced by reaction of phenol and formaldehyde. On heating, water is eliminated, many cross-links form, and the polymer sets into a rocklike mass.

Chain-growth polymers are prepared by chain-reaction polymerization of vinyl monomers in the presence of a radical, an anion, or a cation initiator. Radical polymerization is sometimes used, but alkenes such as 2 -methylpropene that have electron-donating substituents on the double bond polymerize easily by a cationic route through carbocation intermediates. Similarly, monomers such as methyl $\\alpha$-cyanoacrylate that have electron-withdrawing substituents on the double bond polymerize by an anionic, conjugate addition pathway.\n\nCopolymerization of two monomers gives a product with properties different from those of either homopolymer. Graft copolymers and block copolymers are two examples.\n\nAlkene polymerization can be carried out in a controlled manner using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst. Ziegler-Natta polymerization minimizes the amount of chain branching in the polymer and leads to stereoregular chains-either isotactic (substituents on the same side of the chain) or syndiotactic (substituents on alternate sides of the chain), rather than atactic (substituents randomly disposed).\n\nStep-growth polymers, the second major class of polymers, are prepared by reactions between difunctional molecules, with individual bonds in the polymer formed independently of one another. Polycarbonates are formed from a diester and a diol, and polyurethanes are formed from a diisocyanate and a diol.\n\nThe chemistry of synthetic polymers is similar to the chemistry of small molecules with the same functional groups, but the physical properties of polymers are greatly affected by size. Polymers can be classified by physical property into four groups: thermoplastics, fibers, elastomers, and thermosetting resins.

For example, TABLE A2 indicates that keto ester $\\mathbf{1}$ should be named as an ester rather than as a ketone because an ester functional group is higher in priority than a ketone. Similarly, amino alcohol 2 should be named as an alcohol rather than as an amine. Thus, the name for $\\mathbf{1}$ is methyl 4-oxopentanoate and the name for $\\mathbf{2}$ is 5-amino-2-pentanol.

The Parent: Selecting the Main Chain or Ring - \nThe parent, or base, name of a polyfunctional organic compound is usually easy to identify. If the principal group of highest priority is part of an open chain, the parent name is that of the longest chain containing the largest number of principal groups. For example, compounds $\\mathbf{6}$ and $\\mathbf{7}$ are isomeric aldehydo amides, which must be named as amides rather than as aldehydes according to TABLE A2. The longest chain in compound\n\n6 has six carbons, and the substance is named 5-methyl-6-oxohexanamide. Compound $\\mathbf{7}$ also has a chain of six carbons, but the longest chain that contains both principal functional groups has only four carbons. Thus, compound 7 is named 4-oxo-3-propylbutanamide.\n\n6. 5-Methyl-6-oxohexanamide\n\n7. 4-0xo-3-propylbutanamide"} {"id": 1988, "contents": "Name Part 2.

Compounds $\\mathbf{8}$ and $\\mathbf{9}$, for instance, are isomeric keto nitriles and must both be named as nitriles according to TABLE A2. Substance $\\mathbf{8}$ is named as a benzonitrile because the -CN functional group is a substituent on the aromatic ring, but substance $\\mathbf{9}$ is named as an acetonitrile because the -CN functional group is on an open chain. Thus, their names are 2 -acetyl-(4-bromomethyl)benzonitrile (8) and (2-acetyl-4-bromophenyl)acetonitrile (9). As further examples, compounds $\\mathbf{1 0}$ and $\\mathbf{1 1}$ are both keto acids and must be named as acids, but the parent name in $\\mathbf{1 0}$ is that of a ring system (cyclohexanecarboxylic acid) and the parent name in $\\mathbf{1 1}$ is that of an open chain (propanoic acid).

The Prefixes and Locants - \nWith the parent name and the suffix established, the next step is to identify and give numbers, or locants, to all substituents on the parent chain or ring. The substituents include all alkyl groups and all functional groups other than the one cited in the suffix. For example, compound $\\mathbf{1 2}$ contains three different functional groups (carboxyl, keto, and double bond). Because the carboxyl group is highest in priority and the longest chain containing the functional groups has seven carbons, compound $\\mathbf{1 2}$ is a heptenoic acid. In addition, the parent chain has a keto (oxo) substituent and three methyl groups. Numbering from the end nearer the highest-priority functional group gives the name ( $E$ )-2,5,5-trimethyl-4-oxo-2-heptenoic acid.

Order of prefixes. When the substituents have been identified, the parent chain has been numbered, and the proper multipliers such as di- and tri- have been assigned, the name is written with the substituents listed in alphabetical, rather than numerical, order. Multipliers such as di- and tri- are not used for\nalphabetization, but the italicized prefixes iso- and sec- are used.\n\n2. 5-Amino-3-methyl-2-pentanol\n3. Use of hyphens; single- and multiple-word names. The general rule is to determine whether the parent is itself an element or compound. If it is, then the name is written as a single word; if it isn't, then the name is written as multiple words. Methylbenzene is written as one word, for instance, because the parent-benzene-is a compound. Diethyl ether, however, is written as two words because the parent-ether-is a class name rather than a compound name. Some further examples follow:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{Mg}-\\mathrm{CH}_{3}\n$$\n\n14. Dimethylmagnesium (one word, because magnesium is an element)\n\n15. 4-(Dimethylamino)pyridine (one word, because pyridine is a compound)\n\n16. Isopropyl 3-hydroxypropanoate (two words, because \"propanoate\" is not a compound)\n\n17. Methyl cyclopentanecarbothioate (two words, because \"cyclopentanecarbothioate\" is not a compound)\n18. Parentheses. Parentheses are used to denote complex substituents when ambiguity would otherwise arise. For example, chloromethylbenzene has two substituents on a benzene ring, but (chloromethyl)benzene has only one complex substituent.

Measurements\n1.5 Measurement Uncertainty, Accuracy, and Precision\n1.6 Mathematical Treatment of Measurement Results\n\nINTRODUCTION Your alarm goes off and, after hitting \"snooze\" once or twice, you pry yourself out of bed. You make a cup of coffee to help you get going, and then you shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, and check your phone for messages. On your way to school, you stop to fill your car's gas tank, almost making you late for the first day of chemistry class. As you find a seat in the classroom, you read the question projected on the screen: \"Welcome to class! Why should we study chemistry?\"\n\nDo you have an answer? You may be studying chemistry because it fulfills an academic requirement, but if you consider your daily activities, you might find chemistry interesting for other reasons. Most everything you do and encounter during your day involves chemistry. Making coffee, cooking eggs, and toasting bread involve chemistry. The products you use-like soap and shampoo, the fabrics you wear, the electronics that keep you connected to your world, the gasoline that propels your car-all of these and more involve chemical substances and processes. Whether you are aware or not, chemistry is part of your everyday world. In this course, you will learn many of the essential principles underlying the chemistry of modern-day life."} {"id": 2161, "contents": "3. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Outline the historical development of chemistry\n- Provide examples of the importance of chemistry in everyday life\n- Describe the scientific method\n- Differentiate among hypotheses, theories, and laws\n- Provide examples illustrating macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic domains\n\nThroughout human history, people have tried to convert matter into more useful forms. Our Stone Age\nancestors chipped pieces of flint into useful tools and carved wood into statues and toys. These endeavors involved changing the shape of a substance without changing the substance itself. But as our knowledge increased, humans began to change the composition of the substances as well-clay was converted into pottery, hides were cured to make garments, copper ores were transformed into copper tools and weapons, and grain was made into bread.\n\nHumans began to practice chemistry when they learned to control fire and use it to cook, make pottery, and smelt metals. Subsequently, they began to separate and use specific components of matter. A variety of drugs such as aloe, myrrh, and opium were isolated from plants. Dyes, such as indigo and Tyrian purple, were extracted from plant and animal matter. Metals were combined to form alloys-for example, copper and tin were mixed together to make bronze-and more elaborate smelting techniques produced iron. Alkalis were extracted from ashes, and soaps were prepared by combining these alkalis with fats. Alcohol was produced by fermentation and purified by distillation.\n\nAttempts to understand the behavior of matter extend back for more than 2500 years. As early as the sixth century BC, Greek philosophers discussed a system in which water was the basis of all things. You may have heard of the Greek postulate that matter consists of four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Subsequently, an amalgamation of chemical technologies and philosophical speculations was spread from Egypt, China, and the eastern Mediterranean by alchemists, who endeavored to transform \"base metals\" such as lead into \"noble metals\" like gold, and to create elixirs to cure disease and extend life (Figure 1.2)."} {"id": 2162, "contents": "3. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nFIGURE 1.2 (a) This portrayal shows an alchemist's workshop circa 1580. Although alchemy made some useful contributions to how to manipulate matter, it was not scientific by modern standards. (b) While the equipment used by Alma Levant Hayden in this 1952 picture might not seem as sleek as you might find in a lab today, her approach was highly methodical and carefully recorded. A department head at the FDA, Hayden is most famous for exposing an aggressively marketed anti-cancer drug as nothing more than an unhelpful solution of common substances. (credit a: Chemical Heritage Foundation; b: NIH History Office)\n\nFrom alchemy came the historical progressions that led to modern chemistry: the isolation of drugs from natural sources, such as plants and animals. But while many of the substances extracted or processed from those natural sources were critical in the treatment of diseases, many were scarce. For example, progesterone, which is critical to women's health, became available as a medicine in 1935, but its animal sources produced extremely small quantities, limiting its availability and increasing its expense. Likewise, in the 1940s, cortisone came into use to treat arthritis and other disorders and injuries, but it took a 36-step process to synthesize. Chemist Percy Lavon Julian turned to a more plentiful source: soybeans. Previously, Julian had developed a lab to isolate soy protein, which was used in firefighting among other applications. He focused on using the soy sterols-substances mostly used in plant membranes-and was able to quickly produce progesterone and later testosterone and other hormones. He later developed a process to do the same for cortisone, and laid the groundwork for modern drug design. Since soybeans and similar plant sources were extremely plentiful, the drugs soon became widely available, saving many lives."} {"id": 2163, "contents": "4. Chemistry: The Central Science - \nChemistry is sometimes referred to as \"the central science\" due to its interconnectedness with a vast array of other STEM disciplines (STEM stands for areas of study in the science, technology, engineering, and math fields). Chemistry and the language of chemists play vital roles in biology, medicine, materials science, forensics, environmental science, and many other fields (Figure 1.3). The basic principles of physics are essential for understanding many aspects of chemistry, and there is extensive overlap between many subdisciplines within the two fields, such as chemical physics and nuclear chemistry. Mathematics, computer science, and information theory provide important tools that help us calculate, interpret, describe, and generally make sense of the chemical world. Biology and chemistry converge in biochemistry, which is crucial to understanding the many complex factors and processes that keep living organisms (such as us) alive. Chemical engineering, materials science, and nanotechnology combine chemical principles and empirical findings to produce useful substances, ranging from gasoline to fabrics to electronics. Agriculture, food science, veterinary science, and brewing and wine making help provide sustenance in the form of food and drink to the world's population. Medicine, pharmacology, biotechnology, and botany identify and produce substances that help keep us healthy. Environmental science, geology, oceanography, and atmospheric science incorporate many chemical ideas to help us better understand and protect our physical world. Chemical ideas are used to help understand the universe in astronomy and cosmology.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.3 Knowledge of chemistry is central to understanding a wide range of scientific disciplines. This diagram shows just some of the interrelationships between chemistry and other fields."} {"id": 2164, "contents": "4. Chemistry: The Central Science - \nFIGURE 1.3 Knowledge of chemistry is central to understanding a wide range of scientific disciplines. This diagram shows just some of the interrelationships between chemistry and other fields.\n\nWhat are some changes in matter that are essential to daily life? Digesting and assimilating food, synthesizing polymers that are used to make clothing, containers, cookware, and credit cards, and refining crude oil into gasoline and other products are just a few examples. As you proceed through this course, you will discover many different examples of changes in the composition and structure of matter, how to classify these changes and how they occurred, their causes, the changes in energy that accompany them, and the principles and laws involved. As you learn about these things, you will be learning chemistry, the study of the composition, properties, and interactions of matter. The practice of chemistry is not limited to chemistry books or laboratories: It happens whenever someone is involved in changes in matter or in conditions that may lead to such changes."} {"id": 2165, "contents": "5. The Scientific Method - \nChemistry is a science based on observation and experimentation. Doing chemistry involves attempting to answer questions and explain observations in terms of the laws and theories of chemistry, using procedures that are accepted by the scientific community. There is no single route to answering a question or explaining an observation, but there is an aspect common to every approach: Each uses knowledge based on experiments that can be reproduced to verify the results. Some routes involve a hypothesis, a tentative explanation of\nobservations that acts as a guide for gathering and checking information. A hypothesis is tested by experimentation, calculation, and/or comparison with the experiments of others and then refined as needed.\n\nSome hypotheses are attempts to explain the behavior that is summarized in laws. The laws of science summarize a vast number of experimental observations, and describe or predict some facet of the natural world. If such a hypothesis turns out to be capable of explaining a large body of experimental data, it can reach the status of a theory. Scientific theories are well-substantiated, comprehensive, testable explanations of particular aspects of nature. Theories are accepted because they provide satisfactory explanations, but they can be modified if new data become available. The path of discovery that leads from question and observation to law or hypothesis to theory, combined with experimental verification of the hypothesis and any necessary modification of the theory, is called the scientific method (Figure 1.4).\n\n\nFIGURE 1.4 The scientific method follows a process similar to the one shown in this diagram. All the key components are shown, in roughly the right order. Scientific progress is seldom neat and clean: It requires open inquiry and the reworking of questions and ideas in response to findings."} {"id": 2166, "contents": "6. The Domains of Chemistry - \nChemists study and describe the behavior of matter and energy in three different domains: macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic. These domains provide different ways of considering and describing chemical behavior.\n\nMacro is a Greek word that means \"large.\" The macroscopic domain is familiar to us: It is the realm of everyday things that are large enough to be sensed directly by human sight or touch. In daily life, this includes the food you eat and the breeze you feel on your face. The macroscopic domain includes everyday and laboratory chemistry, where we observe and measure physical and chemical properties such as density, solubility, and flammability.\n\nMicro comes from Greek and means \"small.\" The microscopic domain of chemistry is often visited in the imagination. Some aspects of the microscopic domain are visible through standard optical microscopes, for example, many biological cells. More sophisticated instruments are capable of imaging even smaller entities such as molecules and atoms (see Figure 1.5 (b)).\n\nHowever, most of the subjects in the microscopic domain of chemistry are too small to be seen even with the most advanced microscopes and may only be pictured in the mind. Other components of the microscopic\ndomain include ions and electrons, protons and neutrons, and chemical bonds, each of which is far too small to see.\n\nThe symbolic domain contains the specialized language used to represent components of the macroscopic and microscopic domains. Chemical symbols (such as those used in the periodic table), chemical formulas, and chemical equations are part of the symbolic domain, as are graphs, drawings, and calculations. These symbols play an important role in chemistry because they help interpret the behavior of the macroscopic domain in terms of the components of the microscopic domain. One of the challenges for students learning chemistry is recognizing that the same symbols can represent different things in the macroscopic and microscopic domains, and one of the features that makes chemistry fascinating is the use of a domain that must be imagined to explain behavior in a domain that can be observed."} {"id": 2167, "contents": "6. The Domains of Chemistry - \nA helpful way to understand the three domains is via the essential and ubiquitous substance of water. That water is a liquid at moderate temperatures, will freeze to form a solid at lower temperatures, and boil to form a gas at higher temperatures (Figure 1.5) are macroscopic observations. But some properties of water fall into the microscopic domain-what cannot be observed with the naked eye. The description of water as comprising two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, and the explanation of freezing and boiling in terms of attractions between these molecules, is within the microscopic arena. The formula $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$, which can describe water at either the macroscopic or microscopic levels, is an example of the symbolic domain. The abbreviations ( $g$ ) for gas, ( $S$ ) for solid, and ( $I$ ) for liquid are also symbolic.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.5 (a) Moisture in the air, icebergs, and the ocean represent water in the macroscopic domain. (b) At the molecular level (microscopic domain), gas molecules are far apart and disorganized, solid water molecules are close together and organized, and liquid molecules are close together and disorganized. (c) The formula $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$ symbolizes water, and (g), (s), and ( $)$ symbolize its phases. Note that clouds are actually comprised of either very small liquid water droplets or solid water crystals; gaseous water in our atmosphere is not visible to the naked eye, although it may be sensed as humidity.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Describe the basic properties of each physical state of matter: solid, liquid, and gas\n- Distinguish between mass and weight\n- Apply the law of conservation of matter\n- Classify matter as an element, compound, homogeneous mixture, or heterogeneous mixture with regard to its physical state and composition\n- Define and give examples of atoms and molecules\n\nMatter is defined as anything that occupies space and has mass, and it is all around us. Solids and liquids are more obviously matter: We can see that they take up space, and their weight tells us that they have mass. Gases are also matter; if gases did not take up space, a balloon would not inflate (increase its volume) when filled with gas.\n\nSolids, liquids, and gases are the three states of matter commonly found on earth (Figure 1.6). A solid is rigid and possesses a definite shape. A liquid flows and takes the shape of its container, except that it forms a flat or slightly curved upper surface when acted upon by gravity. (In zero gravity, liquids assume a spherical shape.) Both liquid and solid samples have volumes that are very nearly independent of pressure. A gas takes both the shape and volume of its container.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.6 The three most common states or phases of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.\nA fourth state of matter, plasma, occurs naturally in the interiors of stars. A plasma is a gaseous state of matter that contains appreciable numbers of electrically charged particles (Figure 1.7). The presence of these charged particles imparts unique properties to plasmas that justify their classification as a state of matter distinct from gases. In addition to stars, plasmas are found in some other high-temperature environments (both natural and man-made), such as lightning strikes, certain television screens, and specialized analytical instruments used to detect trace amounts of metals.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.7 A plasma torch can be used to cut metal. (credit: \"Hypertherm\"/Wikimedia Commons)"} {"id": 2169, "contents": "8. LINK TO LEARNING - \nIn a tiny cell in a plasma television, the plasma emits ultraviolet light, which in turn causes the display at that location to appear a specific color. The composite of these tiny dots of color makes up the image that you see. Watch this video (http://openstax.org/1/16plasma) to learn more about plasma and the places you encounter it.\n\nSome samples of matter appear to have properties of solids, liquids, and/or gases at the same time. This can occur when the sample is composed of many small pieces. For example, we can pour sand as if it were a liquid because it is composed of many small grains of solid sand. Matter can also have properties of more than one state when it is a mixture, such as with clouds. Clouds appear to behave somewhat like gases, but they are actually mixtures of air (gas) and tiny particles of water (liquid or solid).\n\nThe mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter in it. One way to measure an object's mass is to measure the force it takes to accelerate the object. It takes much more force to accelerate a car than a bicycle because the car has much more mass. A more common way to determine the mass of an object is to use a balance to compare its mass with a standard mass.\n\nAlthough weight is related to mass, it is not the same thing. Weight refers to the force that gravity exerts on an object. This force is directly proportional to the mass of the object. The weight of an object changes as the force of gravity changes, but its mass does not. An astronaut's mass does not change just because she goes to the moon. But her weight on the moon is only one-sixth her earth-bound weight because the moon's gravity is only one-sixth that of the earth's. She may feel \"weightless\" during her trip when she experiences negligible external forces (gravitational or any other), although she is, of course, never \"massless.\""} {"id": 2170, "contents": "8. LINK TO LEARNING - \nThe law of conservation of matter summarizes many scientific observations about matter: It states that there is no detectable change in the total quantity of matter present when matter converts from one type to another (a chemical change) or changes among solid, liquid, or gaseous states (a physical change). Brewing beer and the operation of batteries provide examples of the conservation of matter (Figure 1.8). During the brewing of beer, the ingredients (water, yeast, grains, malt, hops, and sugar) are converted into beer (water, alcohol, carbonation, and flavoring substances) with no actual loss of substance. This is most clearly seen during the bottling process, when glucose turns into ethanol and carbon dioxide, and the total mass of the substances does not change. This can also be seen in a lead-acid car battery: The original substances (lead, lead oxide, and sulfuric acid), which are capable of producing electricity, are changed into other substances (lead sulfate and water) that do not produce electricity, with no change in the actual amount of matter.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.8 (a) The mass of beer precursor materials is the same as the mass of beer produced: Sugar has become alcohol and carbon dioxide. (b) The mass of the lead, lead oxide, and sulfuric acid consumed by the production of electricity is exactly equal to the mass of lead sulfate and water that is formed.\n\nAlthough this conservation law holds true for all conversions of matter, convincing examples are few and far between because, outside of the controlled conditions in a laboratory, we seldom collect all of the material that is produced during a particular conversion. For example, when you eat, digest, and assimilate food, all of the matter in the original food is preserved. But because some of the matter is incorporated into your body, and much is excreted as various types of waste, it is challenging to verify by measurement."} {"id": 2171, "contents": "9. Classifying Matter - \nMatter can be classified into several categories. Two broad categories are mixtures and pure substances. A pure substance has a constant composition. All specimens of a pure substance have exactly the same makeup and properties. Any sample of sucrose (table sugar) consists of $42.1 \\%$ carbon, $6.5 \\%$ hydrogen, and $51.4 \\%$ oxygen by mass. Any sample of sucrose also has the same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.\n\nPure substances may be divided into two classes: elements and compounds. Pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical changes are called elements. Iron, silver, gold, aluminum, sulfur, oxygen, and copper are familiar examples of the more than 100 known elements, of which about 90 occur naturally on the earth, and two dozen or so have been created in laboratories.\n\nPure substances that are comprised of two or more elements are called compounds. Compounds may be broken down by chemical changes to yield either elements or other compounds, or both. Mercury(II) oxide, an orange, crystalline solid, can be broken down by heat into the elements mercury and oxygen (Figure 1.9). When heated in the absence of air, the compound sucrose is broken down into the element carbon and the compound water. (The initial stage of this process, when the sugar is turning brown, is known as caramelization-this is what imparts the characteristic sweet and nutty flavor to caramel apples, caramelized onions, and caramel). Silver(I) chloride is a white solid that can be broken down into its elements, silver and chlorine, by absorption of light. This property is the basis for the use of this compound in photographic films and photochromic eyeglasses (those with lenses that darken when exposed to light).\n\n\nFIGURE 1.9 (a) The compound mercury(II) oxide, (b) when heated, (c) decomposes into silvery droplets of liquid mercury and invisible oxygen gas.

This site (http://openstax.org/l/16mercury) shows the breakdown of mercury oxide, HgO. You can also view an example of the photochemical decomposition of silver chloride (http://openstax.org/l/16silvchloride) (AgCl), the basis of early photography.\n\nThe properties of combined elements are different from those in the free, or uncombined, state. For example, white crystalline sugar (sucrose) is a compound resulting from the chemical combination of the element carbon, which is a black solid in one of its uncombined forms, and the two elements hydrogen and oxygen, which are colorless gases when uncombined. Free sodium, an element that is a soft, shiny, metallic solid, and free chlorine, an element that is a yellow-green gas, combine to form sodium chloride (table salt), a compound that is a white, crystalline solid.\n\nA mixture is composed of two or more types of matter that can be present in varying amounts and can be separated by physical changes, such as evaporation (you will learn more about this later). A mixture with a composition that varies from point to point is called a heterogeneous mixture. Italian dressing is an example of a heterogeneous mixture (Figure 1.10). Its composition can vary because it may be prepared from varying amounts of oil, vinegar, and herbs. It is not the same from point to point throughout the mixture-one drop may be mostly vinegar, whereas a different drop may be mostly oil or herbs because the oil and vinegar separate and the herbs settle. Other examples of heterogeneous mixtures are chocolate chip cookies (we can see the separate bits of chocolate, nuts, and cookie dough) and granite (we can see the quartz, mica, feldspar, and more)."} {"id": 2173, "contents": "10. LINK TO LEARNING - \nA homogeneous mixture, also called a solution, exhibits a uniform composition and appears visually the same throughout. An example of a solution is a sports drink, consisting of water, sugar, coloring, flavoring, and electrolytes mixed together uniformly (Figure 1.10). Each drop of a sports drink tastes the same because each drop contains the same amounts of water, sugar, and other components. Note that the composition of a sports drink can vary-it could be made with somewhat more or less sugar, flavoring, or other components, and still be a sports drink. Other examples of homogeneous mixtures include air, maple syrup, gasoline, and a solution of salt in water.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.10 (a) Oil and vinegar salad dressing is a heterogeneous mixture because its composition is not uniform throughout.

Each compound has a specific composition and possesses definite chemical and physical properties that distinguish it from all other compounds. And, of course, there are innumerable ways to combine elements and compounds to form different mixtures. A summary of how to distinguish between the various major classifications of matter is shown in (Figure 1.11).\n\n\nFIGURE 1.11 Depending on its properties, a given substance can be classified as a homogeneous mixture, a heterogeneous mixture, a compound, or an element.\n\nEleven elements make up about $99 \\%$ of the earth's crust and atmosphere (Table 1.1). Oxygen constitutes nearly one-half and silicon about one-quarter of the total quantity of these elements. A majority of elements on earth are found in chemical combinations with other elements; about one-quarter of the elements are also found in the free state.\n\nElemental Composition of Earth"} {"id": 2174, "contents": "10.

Atoms and Molecules - \nAn atom is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element and can enter into a chemical combination. Consider the element gold, for example. Imagine cutting a gold nugget in half, then cutting one of the halves in half, and repeating this process until a piece of gold remained that was so small that it could not be cut in half (regardless of how tiny your knife may be). This minimally sized piece of gold is an atom (from the Greek atomos, meaning \"indivisible\") (Figure 1.12). This atom would no longer be gold if it were divided any further.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.12 (a) This photograph shows a gold nugget.

(credit a: modification of work by United States Geological Survey; credit b: modification of work by \"Erwinrossen\"/Wikimedia Commons)\n\nThe first suggestion that matter is composed of atoms is attributed to the Greek philosophers Leucippus and Democritus, who developed their ideas in the 5th century BCE. However, it was not until the early nineteenth century that John Dalton (1766-1844), a British schoolteacher with a keen interest in science, supported this hypothesis with quantitative measurements. Since that time, repeated experiments have confirmed many aspects of this hypothesis, and it has become one of the central theories of chemistry. Other aspects of Dalton's atomic theory are still used but with minor revisions (details of Dalton's theory are provided in the chapter on atoms and molecules)."} {"id": 2176, "contents": "11. Atoms and Molecules - \nAn atom is so small that its size is difficult to imagine. One of the smallest things we can see with our unaided eye is a single thread of a spider web: These strands are about $1 / 10,000$ of a centimeter $(0.0001 \\mathrm{~cm})$ in diameter. Although the cross-section of one strand is almost impossible to see without a microscope, it is huge on an atomic scale. A single carbon atom in the web has a diameter of about 0.000000015 centimeter, and it would take about 7000 carbon atoms to span the diameter of the strand. To put this in perspective, if a carbon atom were the size of a dime, the cross-section of one strand would be larger than a football field, which would require about 150 million carbon atom \"dimes\" to cover it.

Atoms and Molecules - \nIt is rare to find collections of individual atoms. Only a few elements, such as the gases helium, neon, and argon, consist of a collection of individual atoms that move about independently of one another. Other elements, such as the gases hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and chlorine, are composed of units that consist of pairs of atoms (Figure 1.14). One form of the element phosphorus consists of units composed of four phosphorus atoms. The element sulfur exists in various forms, one of which consists of units composed of eight sulfur atoms. These units are called molecules. A molecule consists of two or more atoms joined by strong forces called chemical bonds. The atoms in a molecule move around as a unit, much like the cans of soda in a six-pack or a bunch of keys joined together on a single key ring. A molecule may consist of two or more identical atoms, as in the molecules found in the elements hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur, or it may consist of two or more different atoms, as in the molecules found in water. Each water molecule is a unit that contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Each glucose molecule is a unit that contains 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms. Like atoms, molecules are incredibly small and light. If an ordinary glass of water were enlarged to the size of the earth, the water molecules inside it would be about the size of golf balls.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.14 The elements hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur form molecules consisting of two or more atoms of the same element.

Decomposition of Water / Production of Hydrogen - \nWater consists of the elements hydrogen and oxygen combined in a 2 to 1 ratio. Water can be broken down\ninto hydrogen and oxygen gases by the addition of energy. One way to do this is with a battery or power supply, as shown in (Figure 1.15).\n\n\nFIGURE 1.15 The decomposition of water is shown at the macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic levels. The battery provides an electric current (microscopic) that decomposes water. At the macroscopic level, the liquid separates into the gases hydrogen (on the left) and oxygen (on the right). Symbolically, this change is presented by showing how liquid $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$ separates into $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ and $\\mathrm{O}_{2}$ gases.\n\nThe breakdown of water involves a rearrangement of the atoms in water molecules into different molecules, each composed of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms, respectively. Two water molecules form one oxygen molecule and two hydrogen molecules. The representation for what occurs, $2 \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(l) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)+\\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)$, will be explored in more depth in later chapters.\n\nThe two gases produced have distinctly different properties. Oxygen is not flammable but is required for combustion of a fuel, and hydrogen is highly flammable and a potent energy source. How might this knowledge be applied in our world? One application involves research into more fuel-efficient transportation. Fuel-cell vehicles (FCV) run on hydrogen instead of gasoline (Figure 1.16). They are more efficient than vehicles with internal combustion engines, are nonpolluting, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, making us less dependent on fossil fuels. FCVs are not yet economically viable, however, and current hydrogen production depends on natural gas. If we can develop a process to economically decompose water, or produce hydrogen in another environmentally sound way, FCVs may be the way of the future.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.16 A fuel cell generates electrical energy from hydrogen and oxygen via an electrochemical process and produces only water as the waste product."} {"id": 2179, "contents": "15.

The display screen is made from a specially toughened glass (silica glass strengthened by the addition of aluminum, sodium, and potassium) and coated with a material to make it conductive (such as indium tin oxide). The circuit board uses a semiconductor material (usually silicon); commonly used metals like copper, tin, silver, and gold; and more unfamiliar elements such as yttrium, praseodymium, and gadolinium. The battery relies upon lithium ions and a variety of other materials, including iron, cobalt, copper, polyethylene oxide, and polyacrylonitrile.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.17 Almost one-third of naturally occurring elements are used to make a cell phone.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Identify properties of and changes in matter as physical or chemical\n- Identify properties of matter as extensive or intensive\n\nThe characteristics that distinguish one substance from another are called properties. A physical property is a characteristic of matter that is not associated with a change in its chemical composition. Familiar examples of physical properties include density, color, hardness, melting and boiling points, and electrical conductivity. Some physical properties, such as density and color, may be observed without changing the physical state of the matter. Other physical properties, such as the melting temperature of iron or the freezing temperature of water, can only be observed as matter undergoes a physical change. A physical change is a change in the state or properties of matter without any accompanying change in the chemical identities of the substances contained in the matter. Physical changes are observed when wax melts, when sugar dissolves in coffee, and when steam condenses into liquid water (Figure 1.18). Other examples of physical changes include magnetizing and demagnetizing metals (as is done with common antitheft security tags) and grinding solids into powders (which can sometimes yield noticeable changes in color). In each of these examples, there is a change in the physical state, form, or properties of the substance, but no change in its chemical composition.\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\nFIGURE 1.18 (a) Wax undergoes a physical change when solid wax is heated and forms liquid wax. (b) Steam condensing inside a cooking pot is a physical change, as water vapor is changed into liquid water. (credit a: modification of work by \"95jb14\"/Wikimedia Commons; credit b: modification of work by \"mjneuby\"/Flickr)\n\nThe change of one type of matter into another type (or the inability to change) is a chemical property. Examples of chemical properties include flammability, toxicity, acidity, and many other types of reactivity. Iron, for example, combines with oxygen in the presence of water to form rust; chromium does not oxidize (Figure 1.19). Nitroglycerin is very dangerous because it explodes easily; neon poses almost no hazard because it is very unreactive."} {"id": 2181, "contents": "16.

(credit a: modification of work by Tony Hisgett; credit b: modification of work by \"Atoma\"/Wikimedia Commons)\n\nA chemical change always produces one or more types of matter that differ from the matter present before the change. The formation of rust is a chemical change because rust is a different kind of matter than the iron, oxygen, and water present before the rust formed. The explosion of nitroglycerin is a chemical change because the gases produced are very different kinds of matter from the original substance. Other examples of chemical changes include reactions that are performed in a lab (such as copper reacting with nitric acid), all forms of combustion (burning), and food being cooked, digested, or rotting (Figure 1.20).\n\n\nFIGURE 1.20 (a) Copper and nitric acid undergo a chemical change to form copper nitrate and brown, gaseous nitrogen dioxide. (b) During the combustion of a match, cellulose in the match and oxygen from the air undergo a chemical change to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nProperties of matter fall into one of two categories. If the property depends on the amount of matter present, it is an extensive property. The mass and volume of a substance are examples of extensive properties; for instance, a gallon of milk has a larger mass than a cup of milk. The value of an extensive property is directly proportional to the amount of matter in question. If the property of a sample of matter does not depend on the amount of matter present, it is an intensive property. Temperature is an example of an intensive property. If the gallon and cup of milk are each at $20^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ (room temperature), when they are combined, the temperature remains at $20^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$. As another example, consider the distinct but related properties of heat and temperature. A drop of hot cooking oil spattered on your arm causes brief, minor discomfort, whereas a pot of hot oil yields severe burns. Both the drop and the pot of oil are at the same temperature (an intensive property), but the pot clearly contains much more heat (extensive property)."} {"id": 2183, "contents": "18. Hazard Diamond - \nYou may have seen the symbol shown in Figure 1.21 on containers of chemicals in a laboratory or workplace. Sometimes called a \"fire diamond\" or \"hazard diamond,\" this chemical hazard diamond provides valuable information that briefly summarizes the various dangers of which to be aware when working with a particular substance.\n\n\nFIGURE 1.21 The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) hazard diamond summarizes the major hazards of a chemical substance.\n\nThe National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 704 Hazard Identification System was developed by NFPA to provide safety information about certain substances. The system details flammability, reactivity, health, and other hazards. Within the overall diamond symbol, the top (red) diamond specifies the level of fire hazard (temperature range for flash point). The blue (left) diamond indicates the level of health hazard. The yellow (right) diamond describes reactivity hazards, such as how readily the substance will undergo detonation or a violent chemical change. The white (bottom) diamond points out special hazards, such as if it is an oxidizer (which allows the substance to burn in the absence of air/oxygen), undergoes an unusual or dangerous reaction with water, is corrosive, acidic, alkaline, a biological hazard, radioactive, and so on. Each hazard is rated on a scale from 0 to 4 , with 0 being no hazard and 4 being extremely hazardous.\n\nWhile many elements differ dramatically in their chemical and physical properties, some elements have similar properties. For example, many elements conduct heat and electricity well, whereas others are poor conductors. These properties can be used to sort the elements into three classes: metals (elements that conduct well), nonmetals (elements that conduct poorly), and metalloids (elements that have intermediate conductivities).\n\nThe periodic table is a table of elements that places elements with similar properties close together (Figure 1.22).

Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number); a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit); and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the measurement result that is more implicitly represented and will be discussed later.\n\nThe number in the measurement can be represented in different ways, including decimal form and scientific notation. (Scientific notation is also known as exponential notation; a review of this topic can be found in Appendix B.) For example, the maximum takeoff weight of a Boeing 777-200ER airliner is 298,000 kilograms, which can also be written as $2.98 \\times 10^{5} \\mathrm{~kg}$. The mass of the average mosquito is about 0.0000025 kilograms,\nwhich can be written as $2.5 \\times 10^{-6} \\mathrm{~kg}$.\nUnits, such as liters, pounds, and centimeters, are standards of comparison for measurements. A 2-liter bottle of a soft drink contains a volume of beverage that is twice that of the accepted volume of 1 liter. The meat used to prepare a 0.25 -pound hamburger weighs one-fourth as much as the accepted weight of 1 pound. Without units, a number can be meaningless, confusing, or possibly life threatening. Suppose a doctor prescribes phenobarbital to control a patient's seizures and states a dosage of \" 100 \" without specifying units. Not only will this be confusing to the medical professional giving the dose, but the consequences can be dire: 100 mg given three times per day can be effective as an anticonvulsant, but a single dose of 100 g is more than 10 times the lethal amount."} {"id": 2186, "contents": "20.

If you place a quarter on a standard electronic balance, you may obtain a reading of 6.72 g . The digits 6 and 7 are certain, and the 2 indicates that the mass of the quarter is likely between 6.71 and 6.73 grams. The quarter weighs about 6.72 grams, with a nominal uncertainty in the measurement of $\\pm 0.01$ gram. If the coin is weighed on a more sensitive balance, the mass might be 6.723 g . This means its mass lies between 6.722 and 6.724 grams, an uncertainty of 0.001 gram. Every measurement has some uncertainty, which depends on the device used\n(and the user's ability). All of the digits in a measurement, including the uncertain last digit, are called significant figures or significant digits. Note that zero may be a measured value; for example, if you stand on a scale that shows weight to the nearest pound and it shows \" 120 ,\" then the 1 (hundreds), 2 (tens) and 0 (ones) are all significant (measured) values.\n\nA measurement result is properly reported when its significant digits accurately represent the certainty of the measurement process. But what if you were analyzing a reported value and trying to determine what is significant and what is not? Well, for starters, all nonzero digits are significant, and it is only zeros that require some thought. We will use the terms \"leading,\" \"trailing,\" and \"captive\" for the zeros and will consider how to deal with them.\n\n\nStarting with the first nonzero digit on the left, count this digit and all remaining digits to the right. This is the number of significant figures in the measurement unless the last digit is a trailing zero lying to the left of the decimal point.\n\n\nCaptive zeros result from measurement and are therefore always significant. Leading zeros, however, are never significant-they merely tell us where the decimal point is located.\n\n\nThe leading zeros in this example are not significant. We could use exponential notation (as described in Appendix B) and express the number as $8.32407 \\times 10^{-3}$; then the number 8.32407 contains all of the significant figures, and $10^{-3}$ locates the decimal point."} {"id": 2210, "contents": "40. Significant Figures in Measurement - \nThe number of significant figures is uncertain in a number that ends with a zero to the left of the decimal point location. The zeros in the measurement 1,300 grams could be significant or they could simply indicate where the decimal point is located. The ambiguity can be resolved with the use of exponential notation: $1.3 \\times 10^{3}$ (two significant figures), $1.30 \\times 10^{3}$ (three significant figures, if the tens place was measured), or $1.300 \\times 10^{3}$ (four significant figures, if the ones place was also measured). In cases where only the decimal-formatted number is available, it is prudent to assume that all trailing zeros are not significant.\n\n\nWhen determining significant figures, be sure to pay attention to reported values and think about the measurement and significant figures in terms of what is reasonable or likely when evaluating whether the\nvalue makes sense. For example, the official January 2014 census reported the resident population of the US as $317,297,725$. Do you think the US population was correctly determined to the reported nine significant figures, that is, to the exact number of people? People are constantly being born, dying, or moving into or out of the country, and assumptions are made to account for the large number of people who are not actually counted. Because of these uncertainties, it might be more reasonable to expect that we know the population to within perhaps a million or so, in which case the population should be reported as $3.17 \\times 10^{8}$ people."} {"id": 2211, "contents": "41. Significant Figures in Calculations - \nA second important principle of uncertainty is that results calculated from a measurement are at least as uncertain as the measurement itself. Take the uncertainty in measurements into account to avoid misrepresenting the uncertainty in calculated results. One way to do this is to report the result of a calculation with the correct number of significant figures, which is determined by the following three rules for rounding numbers:\n\n1. When adding or subtracting numbers, round the result to the same number of decimal places as the number with the least number of decimal places (the least certain value in terms of addition and subtraction).\n2. When multiplying or dividing numbers, round the result to the same number of digits as the number with the least number of significant figures (the least certain value in terms of multiplication and division).\n3. If the digit to be dropped (the one immediately to the right of the digit to be retained) is less than 5, \"round down\" and leave the retained digit unchanged; if it is more than 5, \"round up\" and increase the retained digit by 1 . If the dropped digit is 5 , and it's either the last digit in the number or it's followed only by zeros, round up or down, whichever yields an even value for the retained digit. If any nonzero digits follow the dropped 5 , round up. (The last part of this rule may strike you as a bit odd, but it's based on reliable statistics and is aimed at avoiding any bias when dropping the digit \" 5 ,\" since it is equally close to both possible values of the retained digit.)\n\nThe following examples illustrate the application of this rule in rounding a few different numbers to three significant figures:\n\n- 0.028675 rounds \"up\" to 0.0287 (the dropped digit, 7 , is greater than 5 )\n- 18.3384 rounds \"down\" to 18.3 (the dropped digit, 3 , is less than 5)\n- 6.8752 rounds \"up\" to 6.88 (the dropped digit is 5 , and a nonzero digit follows it)\n- 92.85 rounds \"down\" to 92.8 (the dropped digit is 5 , and the retained digit is even)\n\nLet's work through these rules with a few examples."} {"id": 2212, "contents": "43.

Accuracy and Precision - \nScientists typically make repeated measurements of a quantity to ensure the quality of their findings and to evaluate both the precision and the accuracy of their results. Measurements are said to be precise if they yield very similar results when repeated in the same manner. A measurement is considered accurate if it yields a result that is very close to the true or accepted value. Precise values agree with each other; accurate values agree with a true value.

For example, consider measuring the average speed of an athlete running sprints. This is typically accomplished by measuring the time required for the athlete to run from the starting line to the finish line, and the distance between these two lines, and then computing speed from the equation that relates these three properties:\n\n$$\n\\text { speed }=\\frac{\\text { distance }}{\\text { time }}\n$$\n\nAn Olympic-quality sprinter can run 100 m in approximately 10 s , corresponding to an average speed of\n\n$$\n\\frac{100 \\mathrm{~m}}{10 \\mathrm{~s}}=10 \\mathrm{~m} / \\mathrm{s}\n$$\n\nNote that this simple arithmetic involves dividing the numbers of each measured quantity to yield the number of the computed quantity $(100 / 10=10)$ and likewise dividing the units of each measured quantity to yield the unit of the computed quantity ( $\\mathrm{m} / \\mathrm{s}=\\mathrm{m} / \\mathrm{s}$ ). Now, consider using this same relation to predict the time required for a person running at this speed to travel a distance of 25 m . The same relation among the three properties is used, but in this case, the two quantities provided are a speed ( $10 \\mathrm{~m} / \\mathrm{s}$ ) and a distance ( 25 m ).

The liquid in a common glass thermometer changes its volume as the temperature changes, and the position of the trapped liquid's surface along a printed scale may be used as a measure of temperature.\n\nTemperature scales are defined relative to selected reference temperatures: Two of the most commonly used are the freezing and boiling temperatures of water at a specified atmospheric pressure. On the Celsius scale, 0 ${ }^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ is defined as the freezing temperature of water and $100^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ as the boiling temperature of water. The space between the two temperatures is divided into 100 equal intervals, which we call degrees. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is defined as $32^{\\circ} \\mathrm{F}$ and the boiling temperature as $212^{\\circ} \\mathrm{F}$. The space between these two points on a Fahrenheit thermometer is divided into 180 equal parts (degrees).\n\nDefining the Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales as described in the previous paragraph results in a slightly more complex relationship between temperature values on these two scales than for different units of measure for other properties. Most measurement units for a given property are directly proportional to one another ( $\\mathrm{y}=\\mathrm{mx}$ ). Using familiar length units as one example:\n\n$$\n\\text { length in feet }=\\left(\\frac{1 \\mathrm{ft}}{12 \\mathrm{in} .}\\right) \\times \\text { length in inches }\n$$\n\nwhere $\\mathrm{y}=$ length in feet, $\\mathrm{x}=$ length in inches, and the proportionality constant, m , is the conversion factor. The Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales, however, do not share a common zero point, and so the relationship between these two scales is a linear one rather than a proportional one ( $y=m x+b$ ). Consequently, converting a temperature from one of these scales into the other requires more than simple multiplication by a conversion factor, $m$, it also must take into account differences in the scales' zero points (b)."} {"id": 2250, "contents": "83. Conversion of Temperature Units - \nThe linear equation relating Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures is easily derived from the two temperatures used to define each scale.

Unlike the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, the kelvin scale is an absolute temperature scale in which 0 (zero) K corresponds to the lowest temperature that can theoretically be achieved. Since the kelvin temperature scale is absolute, a degree symbol is not included in the unit abbreviation, K. The early 19th-century discovery of the relationship between a gas's volume and temperature suggested that the volume of a gas would be zero at $-273.15{ }^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$. In 1848, British physicist William Thompson, who later adopted the title of Lord Kelvin, proposed an absolute temperature scale based on this concept (further treatment of this topic is provided in this text's chapter on gases).\n\nThe freezing temperature of water on this scale is 273.15 K and its boiling temperature is 373.15 K . Notice the numerical difference in these two reference temperatures is 100 , the same as for the Celsius scale, and so the linear relation between these two temperature scales will exhibit a slope of $1 \\frac{\\mathrm{~K}}{{ }^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}}$. Following the same approach, the equations for converting between the kelvin and Celsius temperature scales are derived to be:\n\n$$\n\\begin{aligned}\n& T_{\\mathrm{K}}=T_{{ }^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}}+273.15 \\\\\n& T^{{ }^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}}=T_{\\mathrm{K}}-273.15\n\\end{aligned}\n$$\n\nThe 273.15 in these equations has been determined experimentally, so it is not exact.

Chemical properties, such flammability and acidity, and chemical changes, such as rusting, involve production of matter that differs from that present beforehand.\n\nMeasurable properties fall into one of two categories.

Early Ideas in Atomic Theory\n2.2 Evolution of Atomic Theory\n2.3 Atomic Structure and Symbolism\n2.4 Chemical Formulas\n\nINTRODUCTION Lung diseases and lung cancers are among the world's most devastating illnesses partly due to delayed detection and diagnosis. Most noninvasive screening procedures aren't reliable, and patients often resist more accurate methods due to discomfort with the procedures or with the potential danger that the procedures cause. But what if you could be accurately diagnosed through a simple breath test?\n\nEarly detection of biomarkers, substances that indicate an organism's disease or physiological state, could allow diagnosis and treatment before a condition becomes serious or irreversible. Recent studies have shown that your exhaled breath can contain molecules that may be biomarkers for recent exposure to environmental contaminants or for pathological conditions ranging from asthma to lung cancer. Scientists are working to develop biomarker \"fingerprints\" that could be used to diagnose a specific disease based on the amounts and identities of certain molecules in a patient's exhaled breath. In Sangeeta Bhatia's lab at MIT, a team used substances that react specifically inside diseased lung tissue; the products of the reactions will be present as biomarkers that can be identified through mass spectrometry (an analytical method discussed later in the chapter). A potential application would allow patients with early symptoms to inhale or ingest a \"sensor\" substance, and, minutes later, to breathe into a detector for diagnosis. Similar research by scientists such as Laura L\u00f3pez-S\u00e1nchez has provided similar processes for lung cancer. An essential concept underlying this goal is that of a molecule's identity, which is determined by the numbers and types of atoms it contains, and how\nthey are bonded together. This chapter will describe some of the fundamental chemical principles related to the composition of matter, including those central to the concept of molecular identity."} {"id": 2291, "contents": "99. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- State the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory\n- Use postulates of Dalton's atomic theory to explain the laws of definite and multiple proportions\n\nThe earliest recorded discussion of the basic structure of matter comes from ancient Greek philosophers, the scientists of their day. In the fifth century BC, Leucippus and Democritus argued that all matter was composed of small, finite particles that they called atomos, a term derived from the Greek word for \"indivisible.\" They thought of atoms as moving particles that differed in shape and size, and which could join together. Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four \"elements\"-fire, earth, air, and water-and could be infinitely divided. Interestingly, these philosophers thought about atoms and \"elements\" as philosophical concepts, but apparently never considered performing experiments to test their ideas.\n\nThe Aristotelian view of the composition of matter held sway for over two thousand years, until English schoolteacher John Dalton helped to revolutionize chemistry with his hypothesis that the behavior of matter could be explained using an atomic theory. First published in 1807, many of Dalton's hypotheses about the microscopic features of matter are still valid in modern atomic theory. Here are the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory.\n\n1. Matter is composed of exceedingly small particles called atoms. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that can participate in a chemical change.\n2. An element consists of only one type of atom, which has a mass that is characteristic of the element and is the same for all atoms of that element (Figure 2.2). A macroscopic sample of an element contains an incredibly large number of atoms, all of which have identical chemical properties."} {"id": 2292, "contents": "99. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nFIGURE 2.2 A pre-1982 copper penny (left) contains approximately $3 \\times 10^{22}$ copper atoms (several dozen are represented as brown spheres at the right), each of which has the same chemical properties. (credit: modification of work by \"slgckgc\"/Flickr)\n3. Atoms of one element differ in properties from atoms of all other elements.\n4. A compound consists of atoms of two or more elements combined in a small, whole-number ratio. In a given compound, the numbers of atoms of each of its elements are always present in the same ratio (Figure 2.3).\n\n\nFIGURE 2.3 Copper(II) oxide, a powdery, black compound, results from the combination of two types of atoms-copper (brown spheres) and oxygen (red spheres)-in a 1:1 ratio. (credit: modification of work by \"Chemicalinterest\"/Wikimedia Commons)\n5. Atoms are neither created nor destroyed during a chemical change, but are instead rearranged to yield substances that are different from those present before the change (Figure 2.4).\n\n\nThe elements copper and oxygen\n\n\nThe compound copper(II) oxide\n\nFIGURE 2.4 When the elements copper (a shiny, red-brown solid, shown here as brown spheres) and oxygen (a clear and colorless gas, shown here as red spheres) react, their atoms rearrange to form a compound containing copper and oxygen (a powdery, black solid). (credit copper: modification of work by http://images-ofelements.com/copper.php)\n\nDalton's atomic theory provides a microscopic explanation of the many macroscopic properties of matter that you've learned about. For example, if an element such as copper consists of only one kind of atom, then it cannot be broken down into simpler substances, that is, into substances composed of fewer types of atoms. And if atoms are neither created nor destroyed during a chemical change, then the total mass of matter present when matter changes from one type to another will remain constant (the law of conservation of matter)."} {"id": 2293, "contents": "101.

Answer: - \nThe starting materials consist of four green spheres and two purple spheres. The products consist of four green spheres and two purple spheres. This does not violate any of Dalton's postulates: Atoms are neither created nor destroyed, but are redistributed in small, whole-number ratios.\n\nDalton knew of the experiments of French chemist Joseph Proust, who demonstrated that all samples of a pure compound contain the same elements in the same proportion by mass. This statement is known as the law of definite proportions or the law of constant composition. The suggestion that the numbers of atoms of the elements in a given compound always exist in the same ratio is consistent with these observations. For example, when different samples of isooctane (a component of gasoline and one of the standards used in the octane rating system) are analyzed, they are found to have a carbon-to-hydrogen mass ratio of 5.33:1, as shown in Table 2.1.\n\nConstant Composition of Isooctane\n\n| Sample | Carbon | Hydrogen |\n| :---: | :---: | :---: | Mass Ratio.\n\nTABLE 2.1\n\nIt is worth noting that although all samples of a particular compound have the same mass ratio, the converse is not true in general. That is, samples that have the same mass ratio are not necessarily the same substance. For example, there are many compounds other than isooctane that also have a carbon-to-hydrogen mass ratio of 5.33:1.00.\n\nDalton also used data from Proust, as well as results from his own experiments, to formulate another interesting law. The law of multiple proportions states that when two elements react to form more than one compound, a fixed mass of one element will react with masses of the other element in a ratio of small, whole\nnumbers. For example, copper and chlorine can form a green, crystalline solid with a mass ratio of 0.558 g chlorine to 1 g copper, as well as a brown crystalline solid with a mass ratio of 1.116 g chlorine to 1 g copper. These ratios by themselves may not seem particularly interesting or informative; however, if we take a ratio of these ratios, we obtain a useful and possibly surprising result: a small, whole-number ratio."} {"id": 2297, "contents": "104.

The ratio of chlorine atoms (and thus the ratio of their masses) is therefore 2 to 1 (Figure 2.5).\n\n\nFIGURE 2.5 Compared to the copper chlorine compound in (a), where copper is represented by brown spheres and chlorine by green spheres, the copper chlorine compound in (b) has twice as many chlorine atoms per copper atom.

Are they the smallest particles, or is there something smaller? In the late 1800 s , a number of scientists interested in questions like these investigated the electrical discharges that could be produced in low-pressure gases, with the most significant discovery made by English physicist J. J. Thomson using a cathode ray tube. This apparatus consisted of a sealed glass tube from which almost all the air had been removed; the tube contained two metal electrodes. When high voltage was applied across the electrodes, a visible beam called a cathode ray appeared between them. This beam was deflected toward the positive charge and away from the negative charge, and was produced in the same way with identical properties when different metals were used for the electrodes. In similar experiments, the ray was simultaneously deflected by an applied magnetic field, and measurements of the extent of deflection and the magnetic field strength allowed Thomson to calculate the charge-to-mass ratio of the cathode ray particles. The results of these measurements indicated that these particles were much lighter than atoms (Figure 2.6).\n\n\nFIGURE 2.6 (a) J. J. Thomson produced a visible beam in a cathode ray tube. (b) This is an early cathode ray tube, invented in 1897 by Ferdinand Braun. (c) In the cathode ray, the beam (shown in yellow) comes from the cathode and is accelerated past the anode toward a fluorescent scale at the end of the tube. Simultaneous deflections by applied electric and magnetic fields permitted Thomson to calculate the mass-to-charge ratio of the particles composing the cathode ray.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBased on his observations, here is what Thomson proposed and why: The particles are attracted by positive (+) charges and repelled by negative (-) charges, so they must be negatively charged (like charges repel and unlike charges attract); they are less massive than atoms and indistinguishable, regardless of the source material, so they must be fundamental, subatomic constituents of all atoms. Although controversial at the time, Thomson's idea was gradually accepted, and his cathode ray particle is what we now call an electron, a negatively charged, subatomic particle with a mass more than one thousand-times less that of an atom. The term \"electron\" was coined in 1891 by Irish physicist George Stoney, from \"electric ion.\""} {"id": 2304, "contents": "111. LINK TO LEARNING - \nClick here (http://openstax.org/l/16JJThomson) to hear Thomson describe his discovery in his own voice.\n\nIn 1909, more information about the electron was uncovered by American physicist Robert A. Millikan via his \"oil drop\" experiments. Millikan created microscopic oil droplets, which could be electrically charged by friction as they formed or by using X-rays. These droplets initially fell due to gravity, but their downward progress could be slowed or even reversed by an electric field lower in the apparatus. By adjusting the electric field strength and making careful measurements and appropriate calculations, Millikan was able to determine the charge on individual drops (Figure 2.7).\n\n\nFIGURE 2.7 Millikan's experiment measured the charge of individual oil drops. The tabulated data are examples of a few possible values.\n\nLooking at the charge data that Millikan gathered, you may have recognized that the charge of an oil droplet is always a multiple of a specific charge, $1.6 \\times 10^{-19} \\mathrm{C}$. Millikan concluded that this value must therefore be a fundamental charge-the charge of a single electron-with his measured charges due to an excess of one electron ( 1 times $1.6 \\times 10^{-19} \\mathrm{C}$ ), two electrons ( 2 times $1.6 \\times 10^{-19} \\mathrm{C}$ ), three electrons ( 3 times $1.6 \\times 10^{-19} \\mathrm{C}$ ), and so on, on a given oil droplet.

LINK TO LEARNING - \nScientists had now established that the atom was not indivisible as Dalton had believed, and due to the work of Thomson, Millikan, and others, the charge and mass of the negative, subatomic particles-the electrons-were known. However, the positively charged part of an atom was not yet well understood. In 1904, Thomson proposed the \"plum pudding\" model of atoms, which described a positively charged mass with an equal amount of negative charge in the form of electrons embedded in it, since all atoms are electrically neutral. A competing model had been proposed in 1903 by Hantaro Nagaoka, who postulated a Saturn-like atom, consisting of a positively charged sphere surrounded by a halo of electrons (Figure 2.8).\n\n\nFIGURE 2.8 (a) Thomson suggested that atoms resembled plum pudding, an English dessert consisting of moist cake with embedded raisins (\"plums\").

LINK TO LEARNING - \nThe next major development in understanding the atom came from Ernest Rutherford, a physicist from New Zealand who largely spent his scientific career in Canada and England. He performed a series of experiments using a beam of high-speed, positively charged alpha particles ( $\\alpha$ particles) that were produced by the radioactive decay of radium; $\\alpha$ particles consist of two protons and two neutrons (you will learn more about radioactive decay in the chapter on nuclear chemistry). Rutherford and his colleagues Hans Geiger (later famous for the Geiger counter) and Ernest Marsden aimed a beam of $\\alpha$ particles, the source of which was embedded in a lead block to absorb most of the radiation, at a very thin piece of gold foil and examined the resultant scattering of the $\\alpha$ particles using a luminescent screen that glowed briefly where hit by an $\\alpha$ particle.\nWhat did they discover? Most particles passed right through the foil without being deflected at all. However, some were diverted slightly, and a very small number were deflected almost straight back toward the source (Figure 2.9). Rutherford described finding these results: \"It was quite the most incredible event that has ever happened to me in my life. It was almost as incredible as if you fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you., ${ }^{\\underline{1}}$\n\n\nFIGURE 2.9 Geiger and Rutherford fired $\\alpha$ particles at a piece of gold foil and detected where those particles went, as shown in this schematic diagram of their experiment. Most of the particles passed straight through the foil, but a few were deflected slightly and a very small number were significantly deflected.\n\nHere is what Rutherford deduced: Because most of the fast-moving $\\alpha$ particles passed through the gold atoms undeflected, they must have traveled through essentially empty space inside the atom. Alpha particles are positively charged, so deflections arose when they encountered another positive charge (like charges repel each other). Since like charges repel one another, the few positively charged $\\alpha$ particles that changed paths abruptly must have hit, or closely approached, another body that also had a highly concentrated, positive charge. Since the deflections occurred a small fraction of the time, this charge only occupied a small amount of the space in the gold foil. Analyzing a series of such experiments in detail, Rutherford drew two conclusions:"} {"id": 2307, "contents": "111. LINK TO LEARNING - \n1. The volume occupied by an atom must consist of a large amount of empty space.\n2.

LINK TO LEARNING - \nView this simulation (http://openstax.org/l/16Rutherford) of the Rutherford gold foil experiment. Adjust the slit width to produce a narrower or broader beam of $\\alpha$ particles to see how that affects the scattering pattern.\n\n[^0]This analysis led Rutherford to propose a model in which an atom consists of a very small, positively charged nucleus, in which most of the mass of the atom is concentrated, surrounded by the negatively charged electrons, so that the atom is electrically neutral (Figure 2.10). After many more experiments, Rutherford also discovered that the nuclei of other elements contain the hydrogen nucleus as a \"building block,\" and he named this more fundamental particle the proton, the positively charged, subatomic particle found in the nucleus. With one addition, which you will learn next, this nuclear model of the atom, proposed over a century ago, is still used today.\n\n\nFIGURE 2.10 The $\\alpha$ particles are deflected only when they collide with or pass close to the much heavier, positively charged gold nucleus. Because the nucleus is very small compared to the size of an atom, very few $\\alpha$ particles are deflected.

LINK TO LEARNING - \nThe Rutherford Scattering simulation (http://openstax.org/1/16PhetScatter) allows you to investigate the differences between a \"plum pudding\" atom and a Rutherford atom by firing $\\alpha$ particles at each type of atom.\n\nAnother important finding was the discovery of isotopes. During the early 1900s, scientists identified several substances that appeared to be new elements, isolating them from radioactive ores. For example, a \"new element\" produced by the radioactive decay of thorium was initially given the name mesothorium. However, a more detailed analysis showed that mesothorium was chemically identical to radium (another decay product), despite having a different atomic mass. This result, along with similar findings for other elements, led the English chemist Frederick Soddy to realize that an element could have types of atoms with different masses that were chemically indistinguishable. These different types are called isotopes-atoms of the same element that differ in mass. Soddy was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1921 for this discovery.\n\nOne puzzle remained: The nucleus was known to contain almost all of the mass of an atom, with the number of protons only providing half, or less, of that mass. Different proposals were made to explain what constituted the remaining mass, including the existence of neutral particles in the nucleus. As you might expect, detecting uncharged particles is very challenging, and it was not until 1932 that James Chadwick found evidence of neutrons, uncharged, subatomic particles with a mass approximately the same as that of protons. The existence of the neutron also explained isotopes: They differ in mass because they have different numbers of\nneutrons, but they are chemically identical because they have the same number of protons. This will be explained in more detail later."} {"id": 2310, "contents": "114.

It was learned that an atom contains a very small nucleus composed of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons, surrounded by a much larger volume of space containing negatively charged electrons. The nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom's volume. The diameter of an atom is on the order of $10^{-10} \\mathrm{~m}$, whereas the diameter of the nucleus is roughly $10^{-15} \\mathrm{~m}$-about 100,000 times smaller. For a perspective about their relative sizes, consider this: If the nucleus were the size of a blueberry, the atom would be about the size of a football stadium (Figure 2.11).\n\n\nFIGURE 2.11 If an atom could be expanded to the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a single blueberry.

When describing the properties of tiny objects such as atoms, we use appropriately small units of measure, such as the atomic mass unit (amu) and the fundamental unit of charge (e).

Since 1961, it has been defined with regard to the most abundant isotope of carbon, atoms of which are assigned masses of exactly 12 amu .

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nTABLE 2.2\n\nThe number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is its atomic number (Z). This is the defining trait of an element: Its value determines the identity of the atom. For example, any atom that contains six protons is the element carbon and has the atomic number 6, regardless of how many neutrons or electrons it may have. A neutral atom must contain the same number of positive and negative charges, so the number of protons equals the number of electrons. Therefore, the atomic number also indicates the number of electrons in an atom. The total number of protons and neutrons in an atom is called its mass number (A).

An atom that gains one or more electrons will exhibit a negative charge and is called an anion. Positively charged atoms called cations are formed when an atom loses one or more electrons. For example, a neutral sodium atom $(Z=11)$ has 11 electrons. If this atom loses one electron, it will become a cation with a 1+ charge ( $11-10=1+$ ).

LINK TO LEARNING - \nThe occurrence and natural abundances of isotopes can be experimentally determined using an instrument called a mass spectrometer. Mass spectrometry (MS) is widely used in chemistry, forensics, medicine, environmental science, and many other fields to analyze and help identify the substances in a sample of material. In a typical mass spectrometer (Figure 2.15), the sample is vaporized and exposed to a high-energy electron beam that causes the sample's atoms (or molecules) to become electrically charged, typically by losing one or more electrons. These cations then pass through a (variable) electric or magnetic field that deflects each cation's path to an extent that depends on both its mass and charge (similar to how the path of a large steel ball rolling past a magnet is deflected to a lesser extent that that of a small steel ball). The ions are detected, and a plot of the relative number of ions generated versus their mass-to-charge ratios (a mass spectrum) is made. The height of each vertical feature or peak in a mass spectrum is proportional to the fraction of cations with the specified mass-to-charge ratio. Since its initial use during the development of modern atomic theory, MS has evolved to become a powerful tool for chemical analysis in a wide range of applications.\n\n\nFIGURE 2.15 Analysis of zirconium in a mass spectrometer produces a mass spectrum with peaks showing the different isotopes of Zr ."} {"id": 2338, "contents": "137.

(A subscript is used only when more than one atom of a given type is present.) Molecular formulas are also used as abbreviations for the names of compounds.\n\nThe structural formula for a compound gives the same information as its molecular formula (the types and numbers of atoms in the molecule) but also shows how the atoms are connected in the molecule. The structural formula for methane contains symbols for one C atom and four H atoms, indicating the number of atoms in the molecule (Figure 2.16).

We sometimes describe the composition of these compounds with an empirical formula, which indicates the types of atoms present and the simplest whole-number ratio of the number of atoms (or ions) in the compound. For example, titanium dioxide (used as pigment in white paint and in the thick, white, blocking type of sunscreen) has an empirical formula of $\\mathrm{TiO}_{2}$. This identifies the elements titanium ( Ti ) and oxygen (O) as the constituents of titanium dioxide, and indicates the presence of twice as many atoms of the element oxygen as atoms of the element titanium (Figure 2.19).\n\n\nFIGURE 2.19 (a) The white compound titanium dioxide provides effective protection from the sun.

For example, it can be determined experimentally that benzene contains two elements, carbon (C) and hydrogen (H), and that for every carbon atom in benzene, there is one hydrogen atom.

Today, we possess sophisticated instruments that allow the direct measurement of these defining microscopic traits; however, the same traits were originally derived from the measurement of macroscopic properties (the masses and volumes of bulk quantities of matter) using relatively simple tools (balances and volumetric glassware).

Counting Neurotransmitter Molecules in the Brain - \nThe brain is the control center of the central nervous system (Figure 2.29). It sends and receives signals to and from muscles and other internal organs to monitor and control their functions; it processes stimuli detected by sensory organs to guide interactions with the external world; and it houses the complex physiological processes that give rise to our intellect and emotions. The broad field of neuroscience spans all aspects of the structure and function of the central nervous system, including research on the anatomy and physiology of the brain. Great progress has been made in brain research over the past few decades, and the BRAIN Initiative, a federal initiative announced in 2013, aims to accelerate and capitalize on these advances through the concerted efforts of various industrial, academic, and government agencies (see BRAIN Initiative website (https://openstax.org/l/16BRAINInit) for details).\n\n\nFIGURE 2.29 (a) A typical human brain weighs about 1.5 kg and occupies a volume of roughly 1.1 L. (b) Information is transmitted in brain tissue and throughout the central nervous system by specialized cells called neurons (micrograph shows cells at $1600 \\times$ magnification).\n\nSpecialized cells called neurons transmit information between different parts of the central nervous system by way of electrical and chemical signals. Chemical signaling occurs at the interface between different neurons when one of the cells releases molecules (called neurotransmitters) that diffuse across the small gap between the cells (called the synapse) and bind to the surface of the other cell. These neurotransmitter molecules are stored in small intracellular structures called vesicles that fuse to the cell membrane and then break open to release their contents when the neuron is appropriately stimulated. This process is called exocytosis (see Figure 2.30). One neurotransmitter that has been very extensively studied is dopamine, $\\mathrm{C}_{8} \\mathrm{H}_{11} \\mathrm{NO}_{2}$. Dopamine is involved in various neurological processes that impact a wide variety of human behaviors. Dysfunctions in the dopamine systems of the brain underlie serious neurological diseases such as Parkinson's and schizophrenia."} {"id": 2381, "contents": "180. Counting Neurotransmitter Molecules in the Brain - \nFIGURE 2.30 (a) Chemical signals are transmitted from neurons to other cells by the release of neurotransmitter molecules into the small gaps (synapses) between the cells. (b) Dopamine, $\\mathrm{C}_{8} \\mathrm{H}_{11} \\mathrm{NO}_{2}$, is a neurotransmitter involved in a number of neurological processes.\n\nOne important aspect of the complex processes related to dopamine signaling is the number of neurotransmitter molecules released during exocytosis. Since this number is a central factor in determining neurological response (and subsequent human thought and action), it is important to know how this number changes with certain controlled stimulations, such as the administration of drugs. It is also important to understand the mechanism responsible for any changes in the number of neurotransmitter molecules released-for example, some dysfunction in exocytosis, a change in the number of vesicles in the neuron, or a change in the number of neurotransmitter molecules in each vesicle.\n\nSignificant progress has been made recently in directly measuring the number of dopamine molecules stored in individual vesicles and the amount actually released when the vesicle undergoes exocytosis. Using miniaturized probes that can selectively detect dopamine molecules in very small amounts, scientists have determined that the vesicles of a certain type of mouse brain neuron contain an average of 30,000 dopamine molecules per vesicle (about $5 \\times 10^{-20} \\mathrm{~mol}$ or 50 zmol ). Analysis of these neurons from mice subjected to various drug therapies shows significant changes in the average number of dopamine molecules contained in individual vesicles, increasing or decreasing by up to three-fold, depending on the specific drug used. These studies also indicate that not all of the dopamine in a given vesicle is released during exocytosis, suggesting that it may be possible to regulate the fraction released using pharmaceutical therapies. ${ }^{-3}$\n\n[^1]"} {"id": 2382, "contents": "181.

The mass of one atom is usually expressed in atomic mass units (amu), which is referred to as the atomic mass.

Neutrons are relatively heavy particles with no charge and a mass of 1.0087 amu . Electrons are light particles with a charge of 1 - and a mass of 0.00055 amu . The number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number ( Z ) and is the property that defines an atom's elemental identity. The sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is called the mass number and, expressed in amu, is\napproximately equal to the mass of the atom. An atom is neutral when it contains equal numbers of electrons and protons.\n\nIsotopes of an element are atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers; isotopes of an element, therefore, differ from each other only in the number of neutrons within the nucleus.

The sudden appearance was due to a supernova explosion, which was much brighter than the original star. Even though this supernova was observed almost a millennium ago, the remaining Crab Nebula (Figure 3.1) continues to release energy today. It emits not only visible light but also infrared light, X-rays, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. The nebula emits both continuous spectra (the blue-white glow) and atomic emission spectra (the colored\nfilaments). In this chapter, we will discuss light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation and how they are related to the electronic structure of atoms. We will also see how this radiation can be used to identify elements, even from thousands of light years away."} {"id": 2406, "contents": "187. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Explain the basic behavior of waves, including travelling waves and standing waves\n- Describe the wave nature of light\n- Use appropriate equations to calculate related light-wave properties such as period, frequency, wavelength, and energy\n- Distinguish between line and continuous emission spectra\n- Describe the particle nature of light\n\nThe nature of light has been a subject of inquiry since antiquity. In the seventeenth century, Isaac Newton performed experiments with lenses and prisms and was able to demonstrate that white light consists of the individual colors of the rainbow combined together. Newton explained his optics findings in terms of a \"corpuscular\" view of light, in which light was composed of streams of extremely tiny particles travelling at high speeds according to Newton's laws of motion. Others in the seventeenth century, such as Christiaan Huygens, had shown that optical phenomena such as reflection and refraction could be equally well explained in terms of light as waves travelling at high speed through a medium called \"luminiferous aether\" that was thought to permeate all space. Early in the nineteenth century, Thomas Young demonstrated that light passing through narrow, closely spaced slits produced interference patterns that could not be explained in terms of Newtonian particles but could be easily explained in terms of waves. Later in the nineteenth century, after James Clerk Maxwell developed his theory of electromagnetic radiation and showed that light was the visible part of a vast spectrum of electromagnetic waves, the particle view of light became thoroughly discredited. By the end of the nineteenth century, scientists viewed the physical universe as roughly comprising two separate domains: matter composed of particles moving according to Newton's laws of motion, and electromagnetic radiation consisting of waves governed by Maxwell's equations. Today, these domains are referred to as classical mechanics and classical electrodynamics (or classical electromagnetism). Although there were a few physical phenomena that could not be explained within this framework, scientists at that time were so confident of the overall soundness of this framework that they viewed these aberrations as puzzling paradoxes that would ultimately be resolved somehow within this framework. As we shall see, these paradoxes led to a contemporary framework that intimately connects particles and waves at a fundamental level called waveparticle duality, which has superseded the classical view."} {"id": 2407, "contents": "187. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nVisible light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation play important roles in chemistry, since they can be used to infer the energies of electrons within atoms and molecules. Much of modern technology is based on electromagnetic radiation. For example, radio waves from a mobile phone, X-rays used by dentists, the energy used to cook food in your microwave, the radiant heat from red-hot objects, and the light from your television screen are forms of electromagnetic radiation that all exhibit wavelike behavior."} {"id": 2408, "contents": "188. Waves - \nA wave is an oscillation or periodic movement that can transport energy from one point in space to another. Common examples of waves are all around us. Shaking the end of a rope transfers energy from your hand to the other end of the rope, dropping a pebble into a pond causes waves to ripple outward along the water's surface, and the expansion of air that accompanies a lightning strike generates sound waves (thunder) that can travel outward for several miles. In each of these cases, kinetic energy is transferred through matter (the rope, water, or air) while the matter remains essentially in place. An insightful example of a wave occurs in sports stadiums when fans in a narrow region of seats rise simultaneously and stand with their arms raised up for a few seconds before sitting down again while the fans in neighboring sections likewise stand up and sit down in sequence. While this wave can quickly encircle a large stadium in a few seconds, none of the fans actually travel with the wave-they all stay in or above their seats.\n\nWaves need not be restricted to travel through matter. As Maxwell showed, electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field oscillating in step with a perpendicular magnetic field, both of which are perpendicular to the direction of travel. These waves can travel through a vacuum at a constant speed of $2.998 \\times 10^{8} \\mathrm{~m} / \\mathrm{s}$, the speed of light (denoted by $c$ )."} {"id": 2409, "contents": "188. Waves - \nAll waves, including forms of electromagnetic radiation, are characterized by, a wavelength (denoted by $\\lambda$, the lowercase Greek letter lambda), a frequency (denoted by $\\nu$, the lowercase Greek letter nu), and an amplitude. As can be seen in Figure 3.2, the wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave (measured in meters in the SI system). Electromagnetic waves have wavelengths that fall within an enormous range-wavelengths of kilometers $\\left(10^{3} \\mathrm{~m}\\right)$ to picometers $\\left(10^{-12} \\mathrm{~m}\\right)$ have been observed. The frequency is the number of wave cycles that pass a specified point in space in a specified amount of time (in the SI system, this is measured in seconds). A cycle corresponds to one complete wavelength. The unit for frequency, expressed as cycles per second $\\left[\\mathrm{s}^{-1}\\right]$, is the hertz (Hz). Common multiples of this unit are megahertz, $\\left(1 \\mathrm{MHz}=1 \\times 10^{6} \\mathrm{~Hz}\\right)$ and gigahertz $\\left(1 \\mathrm{GHz}=1 \\times 10^{9} \\mathrm{~Hz}\\right)$. The amplitude corresponds to the magnitude of the wave's displacement and so, in Figure 3.2, this corresponds to one-half the height between the peaks and troughs. The amplitude is related to the intensity of the wave, which for light is the brightness, and for sound is the loudness.\n\n\n\nFIGURE 3.2 One-dimensional sinusoidal waves show the relationship among wavelength, frequency, and speed.

Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin - \nX-rays exhibit wavelengths of approximately $0.01-10 \\mathrm{~nm}$. Since these wavelengths are comparable to the spaces between atoms in a crystalline solid, X-rays are scattered when they pass through crystals. The scattered rays undergo constructive and destructive interference that creates a specific diffraction pattern that may be measured and used to precisely determine the positions of atoms within the crystal. This phenomenon of X-ray diffraction is the basis for very powerful techniques enabling the determination of molecular structure. One of the pioneers who applied this powerful technology to important biochemical substances was Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin.\n\nBorn in Cairo, Egypt, in 1910 to British parents, Dorothy's fascination with chemistry was fostered early in her life. At age 11 she was enrolled in a prestigious English grammar school where she was one of just two girls allowed to study chemistry. On her 16th birthday, her mother, Molly, gifted her a book on X-ray crystallography, which had a profound impact on the trajectory of her career. She studied chemistry at Oxford University, graduating with first-class honors in 1932 and directly entering Cambridge University to pursue a doctoral degree. At Cambridge, Dorothy recognized the promise of X-ray crystallography for protein structure determinations, conducting research that earned her a PhD in 1937. Over the course of a very productive career, Dr. Hodgkin was credited with determining structures for several important biomolecules, including cholesterol iodide, penicillin, and vitamin B12. In recognition of her achievements in the use of X-ray techniques to elucidate the structures of biochemical substances, she was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. In 1969, she led a team of scientists who deduced the structure of insulin, facilitating the mass production of this hormone and greatly advancing the treatment of diabetic patients worldwide.

Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin - \nNot all waves are travelling waves. Standing waves (also known as stationary waves) remain constrained within some region of space. As we shall see, standing waves play an important role in our understanding of the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. The simplest example of a standing wave is a onedimensional wave associated with a vibrating string that is held fixed at its two end points. Figure 3.7 shows the four lowest-energy standing waves (the fundamental wave and the lowest three harmonics) for a vibrating string at a particular amplitude. Although the string's motion lies mostly within a plane, the wave itself is considered to be one dimensional, since it lies along the length of the string. The motion of string segments in a direction perpendicular to the string length generates the waves and so the amplitude of the waves is visible as the maximum displacement of the curves seen in Figure 3.7. The key observation from the figure is that only those waves having an integer number, n, of half-wavelengths between the end points can form. A system with fixed end points such as this restricts the number and type of the possible waveforms. This is an example of quantization, in which only discrete values from a more general set of continuous values of some property are observed. Another important observation is that the harmonic waves (those waves displaying more than one-half wavelength) all have one or more points between the two end points that are not in motion. These special points are nodes. The energies of the standing waves with a given amplitude in a vibrating string increase with the number of half-wavelengths $n$. Since the number of nodes is $n-1$, the energy can also be said to depend on the number of nodes, generally increasing as the number of nodes increases.\n\n\nFIGURE 3.7 A vibrating string shows some one-dimensional standing waves.

This required obtaining a better understanding of the distributions of light emitted from various sources being considered. Artificial lighting is usually designed to mimic natural sunlight within the limitations of the underlying technology. Such lighting consists of a range of broadly distributed frequencies that form a continuous spectrum. Figure 3.9 shows the wavelength distribution for sunlight. The most intense radiation is in the visible region, with the intensity dropping off rapidly for shorter wavelength ultraviolet (UV) light, and more slowly for longer wavelength infrared (IR) light.\n\n\nFIGURE 3.9 The spectral distribution (light intensity vs. wavelength) of sunlight reaches the Earth's atmosphere as UV light, visible light, and IR light.

The blackbody spectrum matches the solar spectrum quite well. A blackbody is a convenient, ideal emitter that approximates the behavior of many materials when heated. It is \"ideal\" in the same sense that an ideal gas is a convenient, simple representation of real gases that works well, provided that the pressure is not too high nor the temperature too low. A good approximation of a blackbody that can be used to observe blackbody radiation is a metal oven that can be heated to very high temperatures. The oven has a small hole allowing for the light being emitted within the oven to be observed\nwith a spectrometer so that the wavelengths and their intensities can be measured. Figure 3.10 shows the resulting curves for some representative temperatures. Each distribution depends only on a single parameter: the temperature. The maxima in the blackbody curves, $\\lambda_{\\max }$, shift to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increases, reflecting the observation that metals being heated to high temperatures begin to glow a darker red that becomes brighter as the temperature increases, eventually becoming white hot at very high temperatures as the intensities of all of the visible wavelengths become appreciable. This common observation was at the heart of the first paradox that showed the fundamental limitations of classical physics that we will examine."} {"id": 2423, "contents": "198. Blackbody Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe - \nPhysicists derived mathematical expressions for the blackbody curves using well-accepted concepts from the theories of classical mechanics and classical electromagnetism. The theoretical expressions as functions of temperature fit the observed experimental blackbody curves well at longer wavelengths, but showed significant discrepancies at shorter wavelengths. Not only did the theoretical curves not show a peak, they absurdly showed the intensity becoming infinitely large as the wavelength became smaller, which would imply that everyday objects at room temperature should be emitting large amounts of UV light. This became known as the \"ultraviolet catastrophe\" because no one could find any problems with the theoretical treatment that could lead to such unrealistic short-wavelength behavior. Finally, around 1900, Max Planck derived a theoretical expression for blackbody radiation that fit the experimental observations exactly (within experimental error). Planck developed his theoretical treatment by extending the earlier work that had been based on the premise that the atoms composing the oven vibrated at increasing frequencies (or decreasing wavelengths) as the temperature increased, with these vibrations being the source of the emitted electromagnetic radiation. But where the earlier treatments had allowed the vibrating atoms to have any energy values obtained from a continuous set of energies (perfectly reasonable, according to classical physics), Planck found that by restricting the vibrational energies to discrete values for each frequency, he could derive an expression for blackbody radiation that correctly had the intensity dropping rapidly for the short wavelengths in the UV region.\n\n$$\nE=n h \\nu, n=1,2,3, \\ldots\n$$\n\nThe quantity $h$ is a constant now known as Planck's constant, in his honor.

The value of Planck's constant is very small, $6.626 \\times 10^{-34}$ joule seconds ( J s), which helps explain why energy quantization had not been observed previously in macroscopic phenomena.\n\n\nFIGURE 3.10 Blackbody spectral distribution curves are shown for some representative temperatures."} {"id": 2424, "contents": "199. The Photoelectric Effect - \nThe next paradox in the classical theory to be resolved concerned the photoelectric effect (Figure 3.11). It had been observed that electrons could be ejected from the clean surface of a metal when light having a frequency greater than some threshold frequency was shone on it. Surprisingly, the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons did not depend on the brightness of the light, but increased with increasing frequency of the light. Since the electrons in the metal had a certain amount of binding energy keeping them there, the incident light needed to have more energy to free the electrons. According to classical wave theory, a wave's energy depends on its intensity (which depends on its amplitude), not its frequency. One part of these observations was that the number of electrons ejected within in a given time period was seen to increase as the brightness increased. In 1905, Albert Einstein was able to resolve the paradox by incorporating Planck's quantization findings into the discredited particle view of light (Einstein actually won his Nobel prize for this work, and not for his theories of relativity for which he is most famous).\n\nEinstein argued that the quantized energies that Planck had postulated in his treatment of blackbody radiation could be applied to the light in the photoelectric effect so that the light striking the metal surface should not be viewed as a wave, but instead as a stream of particles (later called photons) whose energy depended on their frequency, according to Planck's formula, $E=h \\nu$ (or, in terms of wavelength using $c=\\nu \\lambda, E=\\frac{h c}{\\lambda}$ ). Electrons were ejected when hit by photons having sufficient energy (a frequency greater than the threshold). The greater the frequency, the greater the kinetic energy imparted to the escaping electrons by the collisions. Processes that increase the energy of an atom involve the absorption of light and are called endothermic. Processes that decrease the energy involve emission of light and are called exothermic. Einstein also argued that the light intensity did not depend on the amplitude of the incoming wave, but instead corresponded to the number of photons striking the surface within a given time period. This explains why the number of ejected electrons increased with increasing brightness, since the greater the number of incoming photons, the greater the likelihood that they would collide with some of the electrons."} {"id": 2425, "contents": "199.

Line Spectra - \nAnother paradox within the classical electromagnetic theory that scientists in the late nineteenth century struggled with concerned the light emitted from atoms and molecules. When solids, liquids, or condensed gases are heated sufficiently, they radiate some of the excess energy as light. Photons produced in this manner have a range of energies, and thereby produce a continuous spectrum in which an unbroken series of wavelengths is present. Most of the light generated from stars (including our sun) is produced in this fashion. You can see all the visible wavelengths of light present in sunlight by using a prism to separate them. As can be seen in Figure 3.9, sunlight also contains UV light (shorter wavelengths) and IR light (longer wavelengths) that can be detected using instruments but that are invisible to the human eye. Incandescent (glowing) solids such as tungsten filaments in incandescent lights also give off light that contains all wavelengths of visible light. These continuous spectra can often be approximated by blackbody radiation curves at some appropriate temperature, such as those shown in Figure 3.10.\n\nIn contrast to continuous spectra, light can also occur as discrete or line spectra having very narrow line widths interspersed throughout the spectral regions such as those shown in Figure 3.13. Exciting a gas at low partial pressure using an electrical current, or heating it, will produce line spectra. Fluorescent light bulbs and neon signs operate in this way (Figure 3.12).

Orbital Energies and Atomic Structure - \nThe energy of atomic orbitals increases as the principal quantum number, $n$, increases. In any atom with two or more electrons, the repulsion between the electrons makes energies of subshells with different values of 1 differ so that the energy of the orbitals increases within a shell in the order $sp>d>f$. Electrons that are closer to the nucleus slightly repel electrons that are farther out, offsetting the more dominant electron-nucleus attractions slightly (recall\nthat all electrons have -1 charges, but nuclei have $+Z$ charges). This phenomenon is called shielding and will be discussed in more detail in the next section. Electrons in orbitals that experience more shielding are less stabilized and thus higher in energy. For small orbitals ( $1 s$ through $3 p$ ), the increase in energy due to $n$ is more significant than the increase due to $l$; however, for larger orbitals the two trends are comparable and cannot be simply predicted. We will discuss methods for remembering the observed order.\n\nThe arrangement of electrons in the orbitals of an atom is called the electron configuration of the atom. We describe an electron configuration with a symbol that contains three pieces of information (Figure 3.25):\n\n1. The number of the principal quantum shell, $n$,\n2.

The Aufbau Principle - \nTo determine the electron configuration for any particular atom, we can \"build\" the structures in the order of atomic numbers. Beginning with hydrogen, and continuing across the periods of the periodic table, we add one proton at a time to the nucleus and one electron to the proper subshell until we have described the electron configurations of all the elements. This procedure is called the Aufbau principle, from the German word Aufbau (\"to build up\"). Each added electron occupies the subshell of lowest energy available (in the order shown in Figure 3.24), subject to the limitations imposed by the allowed quantum numbers according to the Pauli exclusion principle. Electrons enter higher-energy subshells only after lower-energy subshells have been filled to capacity. Figure 3.26 illustrates the traditional way to remember the filling order for atomic orbitals. Since the arrangement of the periodic table is based on the electron configurations, Figure 3.27 provides an alternative method for determining the electron configuration. The filling order simply begins at hydrogen and includes each subshell as you proceed in increasing $Z$ order. For example, after filling the $3 p$ block up to Ar, we see the orbital will be $4 \\mathrm{~s}(\\mathrm{~K}, \\mathrm{Ca})$, followed by the $3 d$ orbitals.\n\n\nFIGURE 3.26 This diagram depicts the energy order for atomic orbitals and is useful for deriving ground-state electron configurations.\n\n\nFIGURE 3.27 This partial periodic table shows electron configurations for the valence subshells of atoms.

The Aufbau Principle - \nWe will now construct the ground-state electron configuration and orbital diagram for a selection of atoms in the first and second periods of the periodic table. Orbital diagrams are pictorial representations of the electron configuration, showing the individual orbitals and the pairing arrangement of electrons. We start with a single hydrogen atom (atomic number 1), which consists of one proton and one electron. Referring to Figure 3.26 or Figure 3.27, we would expect to find the electron in the $1 s$ orbital. By convention, the $m_{s}=+\\frac{1}{2}$ value is usually filled first. The electron configuration and the orbital diagram are:\n\n\nFollowing hydrogen is the noble gas helium, which has an atomic number of 2 . The helium atom contains two protons and two electrons. The first electron has the same four quantum numbers as the hydrogen atom electron ( $n=1, l=0, m_{l}=0, m_{s}=+\\frac{1}{2}$ ). The second electron also goes into the $1 s$ orbital and fills that orbital. The second electron has the same $n, l$, and $m_{l}$ quantum numbers, but must have the opposite spin quantum number, $m_{s}=-\\frac{1}{2}$. This is in accord with the Pauli exclusion principle: No two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. For orbital diagrams, this means two arrows go in each box (representing two electrons in each orbital) and the arrows must point in opposite directions (representing paired spins). The electron configuration and orbital diagram of helium are:\n\n\nThe $n=1$ shell is completely filled in a helium atom.\n\nThe next atom is the alkali metal lithium with an atomic number of 3 . The first two electrons in lithium fill the $1 s$ orbital and have the same sets of four quantum numbers as the two electrons in helium. The remaining electron must occupy the orbital of next lowest energy, the $2 s$ orbital (Figure 3.26 or Figure 3.27). Thus, the electron configuration and orbital diagram of lithium are:\n\n\nAn atom of the alkaline earth metal beryllium, with an atomic number of 4 , contains four protons in the nucleus and four electrons surrounding the nucleus.

The $n=1$ shell is filled with two electrons and three electrons will occupy the $n=2$ shell. Because any $s$ subshell can contain only two electrons, the fifth electron must occupy the next energy level, which will be a $2 p$ orbital. There are three degenerate $2 p$ orbitals ( $m_{l}=-1,0,+1$ ) and the electron can occupy any one of these $p$ orbitals. When drawing orbital diagrams, we include empty boxes to depict any empty orbitals in the same subshell that we are filling.\n\n\nCarbon (atomic number 6) has six electrons. Four of them fill the $1 s$ and $2 s$ orbitals. The remaining two electrons occupy the $2 p$ subshell. We now have a choice of filling one of the $2 p$ orbitals and pairing the electrons or of leaving the electrons unpaired in two different, but degenerate, $p$ orbitals. The orbitals are filled as described by Hund's rule: the lowest-energy configuration for an atom with electrons within a set of degenerate orbitals is that having the maximum number of unpaired electrons. Thus, the two electrons in the carbon $2 p$ orbitals have identical $n, l$, and $m_{s}$ quantum numbers and differ in their $m_{l}$ quantum number (in accord with the Pauli exclusion principle).

Fluorine (atomic number 9) has only one $2 p$ orbital containing an unpaired electron.

The electrons occupying the outermost shell orbital(s) (highest value of $n$ ) are called valence electrons, and those occupying the inner shell orbitals are called core electrons (Figure 3.28). Since the core electron shells correspond to noble gas electron configurations, we can abbreviate electron configurations by writing the noble gas that matches the core electron configuration, along with the valence electrons in a condensed format.

As discussed previously, the $3 d$ orbital with no radial nodes is higher in energy because it is less penetrating and more shielded from the nucleus than the $4 s$, which has three radial nodes. Thus, potassium has an electron configuration of [Ar]4s ${ }^{1}$. Hence, potassium corresponds to Li and Na in its valence shell configuration.

Answer: - \n(a) Mn (b) Xe\n\nThe periodic table can be a powerful tool in predicting the electron configuration of an element. However, we do find exceptions to the order of filling of orbitals that are shown in Figure 3.26 or Figure 3.27. For instance, the electron configurations (shown in Figure 3.29) of the transition metals chromium (Cr; atomic number 24) and copper ( Cu ; atomic number 29), among others, are not those we would expect. In general, such exceptions involve subshells with very similar energy, and small effects can lead to changes in the order of filling.\n\nIn the case of Cr and Cu , we find that half-filled and completely filled subshells apparently represent conditions of preferred stability. This stability is such that an electron shifts from the $4 s$ into the $3 d$ orbital to gain the extra stability of a half-filled $3 d$ subshell (in Cr ) or a filled $3 d$ subshell (in Cu ). Other exceptions also occur. For example, niobium ( Nb , atomic number 41) is predicted to have the electron configuration $[\\mathrm{Kr}] 5 s^{2} 4 d^{3}$. Experimentally, we observe that its ground-state electron configuration is actually $[\\mathrm{Kr}] 5 s^{1} 4 d^{4}$. We can rationalize this observation by saying that the electron-electron repulsions experienced by pairing the electrons in the $5 s$ orbital are larger than the gap in energy between the $5 s$ and $4 d$ orbitals. There is no simple method to predict the exceptions for atoms where the magnitude of the repulsions between electrons is greater than the small differences in energy between subshells."} {"id": 2499, "contents": "260. Electron Configurations and the Periodic Table - \nAs described earlier, the periodic table arranges atoms based on increasing atomic number so that elements with the same chemical properties recur periodically. When their electron configurations are added to the table (Figure 3.29), we also see a periodic recurrence of similar electron configurations in the outer shells of these elements. Because they are in the outer shells of an atom, valence electrons play the most important role in chemical reactions. The outer electrons have the highest energy of the electrons in an atom and are more easily lost or shared than the core electrons. Valence electrons are also the determining factor in some physical properties of the elements.\n\nElements in any one group (or column) have the same number of valence electrons; the alkali metals lithium\nand sodium each have only one valence electron, the alkaline earth metals beryllium and magnesium each have two, and the halogens fluorine and chlorine each have seven valence electrons. The similarity in chemical properties among elements of the same group occurs because they have the same number of valence electrons. It is the loss, gain, or sharing of valence electrons that defines how elements react.\n\nIt is important to remember that the periodic table was developed on the basis of the chemical behavior of the elements, well before any idea of their atomic structure was available. Now we can understand why the periodic table has the arrangement it has-the arrangement puts elements whose atoms have the same number of valence electrons in the same group. This arrangement is emphasized in Figure 3.29, which shows in periodic-table form the electron configuration of the last subshell to be filled by the Aufbau principle. The colored sections of Figure 3.29 show the three categories of elements classified by the orbitals being filled: main group, transition, and inner transition elements. These classifications determine which orbitals are counted in the valence shell, or highest energy level orbitals of an atom."} {"id": 2500, "contents": "260. Electron Configurations and the Periodic Table - \n1. Main group elements (sometimes called representative elements) are those in which the last electron added enters an $s$ or a $p$ orbital in the outermost shell, shown in blue and red in Figure 3.29. This category includes all the nonmetallic elements, as well as many metals and the metalloids. The valence electrons for main group elements are those with the highest $n$ level. For example, gallium ( Ga , atomic number 31) has the electron configuration $[\\operatorname{Ar}] 4 s^{2} 3 d^{10} 4 p^{1}$, which contains three valence electrons (underlined). The completely filled $d$ orbitals count as core, not valence, electrons.\n2. Transition elements or transition metals. These are metallic elements in which the last electron added enters a $d$ orbital. The valence electrons (those added after the last noble gas configuration) in these elements include the $n s$ and $(n-1) d$ electrons. The official IUPAC definition of transition elements specifies those with partially filled $d$ orbitals. Thus, the elements with completely filled orbitals (Zn, Cd, Hg , as well as $\\mathrm{Cu}, \\mathrm{Ag}$, and Au in Figure 3.29) are not technically transition elements. However, the term is frequently used to refer to the entire $d$ block (colored yellow in Figure 3.29), and we will adopt this usage in this textbook.\n3. Inner transition elements are metallic elements in which the last electron added occupies an $f$ orbital. They are shown in green in Figure 3.29.

Variation in Covalent Radius - \nThe quantum mechanical picture makes it difficult to establish a definite size of an atom. However, there are several practical ways to define the radius of atoms and, thus, to determine their relative sizes that give roughly similar values. We will use the covalent radius (Figure 3.30), which is defined as one-half the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms when they are joined by a covalent bond (this measurement is possible because atoms within molecules still retain much of their atomic identity). We know that as we scan down a group, the principal quantum number, $n$, increases by one for each element. Thus, the electrons are being added to a region of space that is increasingly distant from the nucleus. Consequently, the size of the atom (and its covalent radius) must increase as we increase the distance of the outermost electrons from the nucleus. This trend is illustrated for the covalent radii of the halogens in Table 3.2 and Figure 3.30.

The general trend is that radii increase down a group and decrease across a period.\n\n\nFIGURE 3.31 Within each period, the trend in atomic radius decreases as $Z$ increases; for example, from K to Kr . Within each group (e.g., the alkali metals shown in purple), the trend is that atomic radius increases as $Z$ increases."} {"id": 2511, "contents": "268. Variation in Covalent Radius - \nAs shown in Figure 3.31, as we move across a period from left to right, we generally find that each element has a smaller covalent radius than the element preceding it. This might seem counterintuitive because it implies that atoms with more electrons have a smaller atomic radius. This can be explained with the concept of effective nuclear charge, $Z_{\\text {eff }}$. This is the pull exerted on a specific electron by the nucleus, taking into account any electron-electron repulsions. For hydrogen, there is only one electron and so the nuclear charge ( $Z$ ) and the effective nuclear charge ( $Z_{\\text {eff }}$ ) are equal. For all other atoms, the inner electrons partially shield the outer electrons from the pull of the nucleus, and thus:\n\n$$\nZ_{\\mathrm{eff}}=Z-\\text { shielding }\n$$\n\nShielding is determined by the probability of another electron being between the electron of interest and the nucleus, as well as by the electron-electron repulsions the electron of interest encounters. Core electrons are adept at shielding, while electrons in the same valence shell do not block the nuclear attraction experienced by each other as efficiently. Thus, each time we move from one element to the next across a period, $Z$ increases by one, but the shielding increases only slightly. Thus, $Z_{\\text {eff }}$ increases as we move from left to right across a period. The stronger pull (higher effective nuclear charge) experienced by electrons on the right side of the periodic table draws them closer to the nucleus, making the covalent radii smaller.\n\nThus, as we would expect, the outermost or valence electrons are easiest to remove because they have the highest energies, are shielded more, and are farthest from the nucleus. As a general rule, when the representative elements form cations, they do so by the loss of the $n s$ or $n p$ electrons that were added last in the Aufbau process. The transition elements, on the other hand, lose the $n s$ electrons before they begin to lose the ( $n-1$ )d electrons, even though the $n s$ electrons are added first, according to the Aufbau principle."} {"id": 2512, "contents": "270.

Variation in Ionic Radii - \nIonic radius is the measure used to describe the size of an ion. A cation always has fewer electrons and the same number of protons as the parent atom; it is smaller than the atom from which it is derived (Figure 3.32). For example, the covalent radius of an aluminum atom $\\left(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{1}\\right)$ is 118 pm , whereas the ionic radius of an $\\mathrm{Al}^{3+}\\left(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6}\\right)$ is 68 pm . As electrons are removed from the outer valence shell, the remaining core electrons occupying smaller shells experience a greater effective nuclear charge $Z_{\\text {eff }}$ (as discussed) and are drawn even closer to the nucleus.\n\n\nFIGURE 3.32 The radius for a cation is smaller than the parent atom (Al), due to the lost electrons; the radius for an anion is larger than the parent ( S ), due to the gained electrons.\n\nCations with larger charges are smaller than cations with smaller charges (e.g., $\\mathrm{V}^{2+}$ has an ionic radius of 79 pm , while that of $\\mathrm{V}^{3+}$ is 64 pm ).

Variation in Ionic Radii - \nAn anion (negative ion) is formed by the addition of one or more electrons to the valence shell of an atom. This results in a greater repulsion among the electrons and a decrease in $Z_{\\text {eff }}$ per electron. Both effects (the increased number of electrons and the decreased $Z_{\\text {eff }}$ ) cause the radius of an anion to be larger than that of the parent atom (Figure 3.32). For example, a sulfur atom ([Ne]3s ${ }^{2} 3 p^{4}$ ) has a covalent radius of 104 pm , whereas the ionic radius of the sulfide anion ( $[\\mathrm{Ne}] 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6}$ ) is 170 pm .

For larger atoms, the most loosely bound electron is located farther from the nucleus and so is easier to remove. Thus, as size (atomic radius) increases, the ionization energy should decrease.

The values of first ionization energy for the elements are given in Figure 3.34. Within a period, the $\\mathrm{IE}_{1}$ generally increases with increasing $Z$. Down a group, the $\\mathrm{IE}_{1}$ value generally decreases with increasing $Z$. There are some systematic deviations from this trend, however. Note that the ionization energy of boron (atomic number 5) is less than that of beryllium (atomic number 4) even though the nuclear charge of boron is greater by one proton. This can be explained because the energy of the subshells increases as $l$ increases, due to penetration and shielding (as discussed previously in this chapter). Within any one shell, the $s$ electrons are lower in energy than the $p$ electrons. This means that an $s$ electron is harder to remove from an atom than a $p$ electron in the same shell. The electron removed during the ionization of beryllium ( $[\\mathrm{He}] 2 s^{2}$ ) is an $s$ electron, whereas the electron removed during the ionization of boron ( $[\\mathrm{He}] 2 s^{2} 2 p^{1}$ ) is a $p$ electron; this results in a lower first ionization energy for boron, even though its nuclear charge is greater by one proton. Thus, we see a small deviation from the predicted trend occurring each time a new subshell begins.\n\n\nFIGURE 3.33 The first ionization energy of the elements in the first five periods are plotted against their atomic number.\n\nFirst Ionization Energies of Some Elements (kJ/mol)"} {"id": 2520, "contents": "275.

The first ionization energy for oxygen is slightly less than that for nitrogen, despite the trend in increasing $I E_{1}$ values across a period. Looking at the orbital diagram of oxygen, we can see that removing one electron will eliminate the electron-electron repulsion caused by pairing the electrons in the $2 p$ orbital and will result in a half-filled orbital (which is energetically favorable). Analogous changes occur in succeeding periods (note the dip for sulfur after phosphorus in Figure 3.34).\n\n\nRemoving an electron from a cation is more difficult than removing an electron from a neutral atom because of the greater electrostatic attraction to the cation. Likewise, removing an electron from a cation with a higher positive charge is more difficult than removing an electron from an ion with a lower charge. Thus, successive ionization energies for one element always increase. As seen in Table 3.3, there is a large increase in the ionization energies for each element. This jump corresponds to removal of the core electrons, which are harder to remove than the valence electrons. For example, Sc and Ga both have three valence electrons, so the rapid increase in ionization energy occurs after the third ionization.\n\nSuccessive Ionization Energies for Selected Elements (kJ/mol)"} {"id": 2526, "contents": "275.

The EA of some of the elements is given in Figure 3.35.

However, for some elements, energy is required for the atom to become negatively charged and the value of their EA is positive. Just as with ionization energy, subsequent EA values are associated with forming ions with more charge. The second EA is the energy associated with adding an electron to an anion to form a -2 ion, and so on.\n\nAs we might predict, it becomes easier to add an electron across a series of atoms as the effective nuclear charge of the atoms increases.

The exceptions found among the elements of group 2 (2A), group 15 ( 5 A ), and group 18 (8A) can be understood based on the electronic structure of these groups. The noble gases, group 18 (8A), have a completely filled shell and the incoming electron must be added to a higher $n$ level, which is more difficult to do. Group $2(2 \\mathrm{~A})$ has a filled $n s$ subshell, and so the next electron added goes into the higher energy $n p$, so, again, the observed EA value is not as the trend would predict.

The electron is attracted to the nucleus, but there is also significant repulsion from the other electrons already present in this small valence shell. The chlorine atom has the same electron configuration in the valence shell, but because the entering electron is going into the $n=3$ shell, it occupies a considerably larger region of space and the electron-electron repulsions are reduced. The entering electron does not experience as much repulsion and the chlorine atom accepts an additional electron more readily, resulting in a more negative EA.\n\n\nFIGURE 3.35 This version of the periodic table displays the electron affinity values (in $\\mathrm{kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$ ) for selected elements.\n\nThe properties discussed in this section (size of atoms and ions, effective nuclear charge, ionization energies, and electron affinities) are central to understanding chemical reactivity.

Metallic properties including conductivity and malleability (the ability to be formed into sheets) depend on having electrons that can be removed easily.

One such grouping includes lithium (Li), sodium ( Na ), and potassium (K): These elements all are shiny, conduct heat and electricity well, and have similar chemical properties. A second grouping includes calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), and barium (Ba), which also are shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, and have chemical properties in common.

Both published tables with the elements arranged according to increasing atomic mass. But Mendeleev went one step further than Meyer: He used his table to predict the existence of elements that would have the properties similar to aluminum and silicon, but were yet unknown. The discoveries of gallium (1875) and germanium (1886) provided great support for Mendeleev's work. Although Mendeleev and Meyer had a long dispute over priority, Mendeleev's contributions to the development of the periodic table are now more widely recognized (Figure 3.36)."} {"id": 2535, "contents": "282.

The modern statement of this relationship, the periodic law, is as follows: the properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. A modern periodic table arranges the elements in increasing order of their atomic numbers and groups atoms with similar properties in the same vertical column (Figure 3.37). Each box represents an element and contains its atomic number, symbol, average atomic mass, and (sometimes) name. The elements are arranged in seven horizontal rows, called periods or series, and 18 vertical columns, called groups. Groups are labeled at the top of each column. In the United States, the labels traditionally were numerals with capital letters. However, IUPAC recommends that the numbers 1 through 18 be used, and these labels are more common. For the table to fit on a single page, parts of two of the rows, a total of 14 columns, are usually written below the main body of the table."} {"id": 2536, "contents": "283. Periodic Table of the Elements - \nFIGURE 3.37 Elements in the periodic table are organized according to their properties.\nEven after the periodic nature of elements and the table itself were widely accepted, gaps remained. Mendeleev had predicted, and others including Henry Moseley had later confirmed, that there should be elements below Manganese in Group 7. German chemists Ida Tacke and Walter Noddack set out to find the elements, a quest being pursued by scientists around the world. Their method was unique in that they did not only consider the properties of manganese, but also the elements horizontally adjacent to the missing elements 43 and 75 on the table. Thus, by investigating ores containing minerals of ruthenium (Ru), tungsten (W), osmium (Os), and so on, they were able to identify naturally occurring elements that helped complete the table. Rhenium, one of their discoveries, was one of the last natural elements to be discovered and is the last stable element to be discovered. (Francium, the last natural element to be discovered, was identified by Marguerite Perey in 1939.)\n\nMany elements differ dramatically in their chemical and physical properties, but some elements are similar in their behaviors. For example, many elements appear shiny, are malleable (able to be deformed without breaking) and ductile (can be drawn into wires), and conduct heat and electricity well. Other elements are not shiny, malleable, or ductile, and are poor conductors of heat and electricity. We can sort the elements into large classes with common properties: metals (elements that are shiny, malleable, good conductors of heat and electricity-shaded yellow); nonmetals (elements that appear dull, poor conductors of heat and electricity-shaded green); and metalloids (elements that conduct heat and electricity moderately well, and possess some properties of metals and some properties of nonmetals-shaded purple)."} {"id": 2537, "contents": "283. Periodic Table of the Elements - \nThe elements can also be classified into the main-group elements (or representative elements) in the columns labeled 1, 2, and 13-18; the transition metals in the columns labeled $3-12 ;^{\\frac{1}{n}}$ and inner transition metals in the two rows at the bottom of the table (the top-row elements are called lanthanides and the bottomrow elements are actinides; Figure 3.38). The elements can be subdivided further by more specific properties, such as the composition of the compounds they form. For example, the elements in group 1 (the first column) form compounds that consist of one atom of the element and one atom of hydrogen. These elements (except hydrogen) are known as alkali metals, and they all have similar chemical properties. The elements in group 2 (the second column) form compounds consisting of one atom of the element and two atoms of hydrogen: These are called alkaline earth metals, with similar properties among members of that group. Other groups with specific names are the pnictogens (group 15), chalcogens (group 16), halogens (group 17), and the noble gases (group 18, also known as inert gases). The groups can also be referred to by the first element of the group: For example, the chalcogens can be called the oxygen group or oxygen family. Hydrogen is a unique, nonmetallic element with properties similar to both group 1 and group 17 elements. For that reason, hydrogen may be shown at the top of both groups, or by itself.\n\n\nFIGURE 3.38 The periodic table organizes elements with similar properties into groups."} {"id": 2538, "contents": "284.

Answer: - \n(a) noble gas; (b) chalcogen; (c) alkaline earth metal; (d) alkali metal\n\nAs you will learn in your further study of chemistry, elements in groups often behave in a somewhat similar manner. This is partly due to the number of electrons in their outer shell and their similar readiness to bond. These shared properties can have far-ranging implications in nature, science, and medicine. For example, when Gertrude Elion and George Hitchens were investigating ways to interrupt cell and virus replication to fight diseases, they utilized the similarity between sulfur and oxygen (both in Group 16) and their capacity to bond in similar ways. Elion focused on purines, which are key components of DNA and which contain oxygen. She found that by introducing sulfur-based compounds (called purine analogues) that mimic the structure of purines, molecules within DNA would bond to the analogues rather than the \"regular\" DNA purine. With the normal DNA bonding and structure altered, Elion successfully interrupted cell replication. At its core, the strategy worked because of the similarity between sulfur and oxygen. Her discovery led directly to important treatments for leukemia. Overall, Elion's work with George Hitchens not only led to more treatments, but also changed the entire methodology of drug development. By using specific elements and compounds to target specific aspects of tumor cells, viruses, and bacteria, they laid the groundwork for many of today's most common and important medicines, used to help millions of people each year. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1988.\n\nIn studying the periodic table, you might have noticed something about the atomic masses of some of the elements. Element 43 (technetium), element 61 (promethium), and most of the elements with atomic number 84 (polonium) and higher have their atomic mass given in square brackets. This is done for elements that consist entirely of unstable, radioactive isotopes (you will learn more about radioactivity in the nuclear chemistry chapter). An average atomic weight cannot be determined for these elements because their radioisotopes may vary significantly in relative abundance, depending on the source, or may not even exist in nature. The number in square brackets is the atomic mass number (and approximate atomic mass) of the most stable isotope of that element."} {"id": 2543, "contents": "290. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Define ionic and molecular (covalent) compounds\n- Predict the type of compound formed from elements based on their location within the periodic table\n- Determine formulas for simple ionic compounds\n\nIn ordinary chemical reactions, the nucleus of each atom (and thus the identity of the element) remains unchanged. Electrons, however, can be added to atoms by transfer from other atoms, lost by transfer to other atoms, or shared with other atoms. The transfer and sharing of electrons among atoms govern the chemistry of the elements. During the formation of some compounds, atoms gain or lose electrons, and form electrically charged particles called ions (Figure 3.39).\n\n\nFIGURE 3.39 (a) A sodium atom ( Na ) has equal numbers of protons and electrons (11) and is uncharged. (b) A sodium cation $\\left(\\mathrm{Na}^{+}\\right)$has lost an electron, so it has one more proton (11) than electrons (10), giving it an overall positive charge, signified by a superscripted plus sign.\n\nYou can use the periodic table to predict whether an atom will form an anion or a cation, and you can often predict the charge of the resulting ion. Atoms of many main-group metals lose enough electrons to leave them with the same number of electrons as an atom of the preceding noble gas. To illustrate, an atom of an alkali metal (group 1) loses one electron and forms a cation with a 1+ charge; an alkaline earth metal (group 2) loses two electrons and forms a cation with a $2+$ charge, and so on. For example, a neutral calcium atom, with 20 protons and 20 electrons, readily loses two electrons. This results in a cation with 20 protons, 18 electrons, and a $2+$ charge. It has the same number of electrons as atoms of the preceding noble gas, argon, and is symbolized $\\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$. The name of a metal ion is the same as the name of the metal atom from which it forms, $\\mathrm{so}_{\\mathrm{Ca}}{ }^{2+}$ is called a calcium ion."} {"id": 2544, "contents": "290. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nWhen atoms of nonmetal elements form ions, they generally gain enough electrons to give them the same number of electrons as an atom of the next noble gas in the periodic table. Atoms of group 17 gain one electron and form anions with a 1- charge; atoms of group 16 gain two electrons and form ions with a 2- charge, and so on. For example, the neutral bromine atom, with 35 protons and 35 electrons, can gain one electron to provide it with 36 electrons. This results in an anion with 35 protons, 36 electrons, and a 1 - charge. It has the same number of electrons as atoms of the next noble gas, krypton, and is symbolized $\\mathrm{Br}^{-}$. (A discussion of the theory supporting the favored status of noble gas electron numbers reflected in these predictive rules for ion formation is provided in a later chapter of this text.)\n\nNote the usefulness of the periodic table in predicting likely ion formation and charge (Figure 3.40). Moving from the far left to the right on the periodic table, main-group elements tend to form cations with a charge equal to the group number. That is, group 1 elements form $1+$ ions; group 2 elements form $2+$ ions, and so on. Moving from the far right to the left on the periodic table, elements often form anions with a negative charge\nequal to the number of groups moved left from the noble gases. For example, group 17 elements (one group left of the noble gases) form 1-ions; group 16 elements (two groups left) form 2-ions, and so on. This trend can be used as a guide in many cases, but its predictive value decreases when moving toward the center of the periodic table. In fact, transition metals and some other metals often exhibit variable charges that are not predictable by their location in the table. For example, copper can form ions with a $1+$ or $2+$ charge, and iron can form ions with a $2+$ or $3+$ charge.\n\n\nFIGURE 3.40 Some elements exhibit a regular pattern of ionic charge when they form ions."} {"id": 2545, "contents": "292.

Answer: - \nTABLE 3.4\n\nNote that there is a system for naming some polyatomic ions; -ate and -ite are suffixes designating polyatomic ions containing more or fewer oxygen atoms. Per- (short for \"hyper\") and hypo- (meaning \"under\") are prefixes meaning more oxygen atoms than -ate and fewer oxygen atoms than -ite, respectively. For example, perchlorate is $\\mathrm{ClO}_{4}^{-}$, chlorate is $\\mathrm{ClO}_{3}{ }^{-}$, chlorite is $\\mathrm{ClO}_{2}{ }^{-}$and hypochlorite is $\\mathrm{ClO}^{-}$. Unfortunately, the number of oxygen atoms corresponding to a given suffix or prefix is not consistent; for example, nitrate is $\\mathrm{NO}_{3}{ }^{-}$while sulfate is $\\mathrm{SO}_{4}{ }^{2-}$. This will be covered in more detail later in the module on nomenclature.\n\nThe nature of the attractive forces that hold atoms or ions together within a compound is the basis for classifying chemical bonding. When electrons are transferred and ions form, ionic bonds result. Ionic bonds are electrostatic forces of attraction, that is, the attractive forces experienced between objects of opposite electrical charge (in this case, cations and anions). When electrons are \"shared\" and molecules form, covalent bonds result. Covalent bonds are the attractive forces between the positively charged nuclei of the bonded atoms and one or more pairs of electrons that are located between the atoms. Compounds are classified as ionic or molecular (covalent) on the basis of the bonds present in them."} {"id": 2556, "contents": "301. Ionic Compounds - \nWhen an element composed of atoms that readily lose electrons (a metal) reacts with an element composed of atoms that readily gain electrons (a nonmetal), a transfer of electrons usually occurs, producing ions. The compound formed by this transfer is stabilized by the electrostatic attractions (ionic bonds) between the ions of opposite charge present in the compound. For example, when each sodium atom in a sample of sodium metal (group 1) gives up one electron to form a sodium cation, $\\mathrm{Na}^{+}$, and each chlorine atom in a sample of chlorine gas (group 17) accepts one electron to form a chloride anion, $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$, the resulting compound, NaCl , is composed of sodium ions and chloride ions in the ratio of one $\\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ion for each $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ion. Similarly, each calcium atom (group 2) can give up two electrons and transfer one to each of two chlorine atoms to form $\\mathrm{CaCl}_{2}$, which is composed of $\\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ and $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ions in the ratio of one $\\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ ion to two $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ions.\n\nA compound that contains ions and is held together by ionic bonds is called an ionic compound. The periodic table can help us recognize many of the compounds that are ionic: When a metal is combined with one or more nonmetals, the compound is usually ionic.

Summary - 318.1. Electromagnetic Energy\nLight and other forms of electromagnetic radiation move through a vacuum with a constant speed, $c$, of $2.998 \\times 10^{8} \\mathrm{~m} \\mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. This radiation shows wavelike behavior, which can be characterized by a frequency, $\\nu$, and a wavelength, $\\lambda$, such that $c=\\lambda \\nu$. Light is an example of a travelling wave. Other important wave phenomena include standing waves, periodic oscillations, and vibrations. Standing waves exhibit quantization, since their wavelengths are limited to discrete integer multiples of some characteristic lengths. Electromagnetic radiation that passes through two closely spaced narrow slits having dimensions roughly similar to the wavelength will show an interference pattern that is a result of constructive and destructive interference of the waves. Electromagnetic radiation also demonstrates properties of particles called photons. The energy of a photon is related to the frequency (or alternatively, the wavelength) of the radiation as $E=h \\nu$ (or $E=\\frac{h c}{\\lambda}$ ), where $h$ is Planck's constant. That light demonstrates both wavelike and particle-like behavior is known as wave-particle duality. All forms of electromagnetic radiation share these properties, although various forms including X-rays, visible light, microwaves, and radio waves interact differently with matter and have very different practical applications. Electromagnetic radiation can be generated by exciting matter to higher energies, such as by heating it. The emitted light can be either continuous (incandescent sources like the sun) or discrete (from specific types of excited atoms). Continuous spectra often have distributions that can be approximated as blackbody radiation at some appropriate temperature. The line spectrum of hydrogen can be obtained by passing the light from\npeaks or troughs in a wave\npeaks or troughs in a wave\nan electrified tube of hydrogen gas through a prism. This line spectrum was simple enough that an empirical formula called the Rydberg formula could be derived from the spectrum. Three historically important paradoxes from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that could not be explained within the existing framework of classical mechanics and classical electromagnetism were the blackbody problem, the photoelectric effect, and the discrete spectra of atoms. The resolution of these paradoxes ultimately led to quantum theories that superseded the classical theories."} {"id": 2576, "contents": "318. Summary - 318.2. The Bohr Model\nBohr incorporated Planck's and Einstein's quantization ideas into a model of the hydrogen atom that resolved the paradox of atom stability and discrete spectra. The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom explains the connection between the quantization of photons and the quantized emission from atoms. Bohr described the hydrogen atom in terms of an electron moving in a circular orbit about a nucleus. He postulated that the electron was restricted to certain orbits characterized by discrete energies. Transitions between these allowed orbits result in the absorption or emission of photons. When an electron moves from a higher-energy orbit to a more stable one, energy is emitted in the form of a photon. To move an electron from a stable orbit to a more excited one, a photon of energy must be absorbed. Using the Bohr model, we can calculate the energy of an electron and the radius of its orbit in any one-electron system."} {"id": 2577, "contents": "318. Summary - 318.3. Development of Quantum Theory\nMacroscopic objects act as particles. Microscopic\nobjects (such as electrons) have properties of both a particle and a wave. Their exact trajectories cannot be determined. The quantum mechanical model of atoms describes the three-dimensional position of the electron in a probabilistic manner according to a mathematical function called a wavefunction, often denoted as $\\psi$. Atomic wavefunctions are also called orbitals. The squared magnitude of the wavefunction describes the distribution of the probability of finding the electron in a particular region in space. Therefore, atomic orbitals describe the areas in an atom where electrons are most likely to be found.\n\nAn atomic orbital is characterized by three quantum numbers. The principal quantum number, $n$, can be any positive integer. The general region for value of energy of the orbital and the average distance of an electron from the nucleus are related to $n$. Orbitals having the same value of $n$ are said to be in the same shell. The secondary (angular momentum) quantum number, $l$, can have any integer value from 0 to $n-1$. This quantum number describes the shape or type of the orbital. Orbitals with the same principal quantum number and the same $l$ value belong to the same subshell. The magnetic quantum number, $m_{l}$, with $2 l+1$ values ranging from $-l$ to $+l$, describes the orientation of the orbital in space. In addition, each electron has a spin quantum number, $m_{s}$, that can be equal to $\\pm \\frac{1}{2}$. No two electrons in the same atom can have the same set of values for all the four quantum numbers."} {"id": 2578, "contents": "318. Summary - 318.4. Electronic Structure of Atoms (Electron Configurations)\nThe relative energy of the subshells determine the order in which atomic orbitals are filled ( $1 s, 2 s, 2 p$, $3 s, 3 p, 4 s, 3 d, 4 p$, and so on). Electron configurations and orbital diagrams can be determined by applying the Pauli exclusion principle (no two electrons can have the same set of four quantum numbers) and Hund's rule (whenever possible, electrons retain unpaired spins in degenerate orbitals).\n\nElectrons in the outermost orbitals, called valence electrons, are responsible for most of the chemical behavior of elements. In the periodic table, elements with analogous valence electron configurations usually occur within the same group. There are some exceptions to the predicted filling order, particularly when half-filled or completely filled orbitals can be formed. The periodic table can be divided into three categories based on the orbital in which the last electron to be added is placed: main group elements ( $s$ and $p$ orbitals), transition\nelements ( $d$ orbitals), and inner transition elements (forbitals)."} {"id": 2579, "contents": "318. Summary - 318.5. Periodic Variations in Element Properties\nElectron configurations allow us to understand many periodic trends. Covalent radius increases as we move down a group because the $n$ level (orbital size) increases. Covalent radius mostly decreases as we move left to right across a period because the effective nuclear charge experienced by the electrons increases, and the electrons are pulled in tighter to the nucleus. Anionic radii are larger than the parent atom, while cationic radii are smaller, because the number of valence electrons has changed while the nuclear charge has remained constant. Ionization energy (the energy associated with forming a cation) decreases down a group and mostly increases across a period because it is easier to remove an electron from a larger, higher energy orbital. Electron affinity (the energy associated with forming an anion) is more favorable (exothermic) when electrons are placed into lower energy orbitals, closer to the nucleus. Therefore, electron affinity becomes increasingly negative as we move left to right across the periodic table and decreases as we move down a group. For both IE and electron affinity data, there are exceptions to the trends when dealing with completely filled or half-filled subshells."} {"id": 2580, "contents": "318. Summary - 318.6. The Periodic Table\nThe discovery of the periodic recurrence of similar properties among the elements led to the formulation of the periodic table, in which the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number in rows known as periods and columns known as groups. Elements in the same group of the periodic table have similar chemical properties. Elements can be classified as metals, metalloids, and nonmetals, or as a main-group elements, transition metals, and inner transition metals. Groups are numbered 1-18 from left to right. The elements in group 1 are known as the alkali metals; those in group 2 are the alkaline earth metals; those in 15 are the pnictogens; those in 16 are the chalcogens; those in 17 are the halogens; and those in 18 are the noble gases."} {"id": 2581, "contents": "318. Summary - 318.7. Ionic and Molecular Compounds\nMetals (particularly those in groups 1 and 2) tend to lose the number of electrons that would leave them with the same number of electrons as in the\npreceding noble gas in the periodic table. By this means, a positively charged ion is formed. Similarly, nonmetals (especially those in groups 16 and 17, and, to a lesser extent, those in Group 15) can gain the number of electrons needed to provide atoms with the same number of electrons as in the next noble gas in the periodic table. Thus, nonmetals tend to form negative ions. Positively charged ions are called cations, and negatively charged ions are called anions. Ions can be either monatomic (containing only one atom) or polyatomic\n(containing more than one atom).\nCompounds that contain ions are called ionic compounds. Ionic compounds generally form from metals and nonmetals. Compounds that do not contain ions, but instead consist of atoms bonded tightly together in molecules (uncharged groups of atoms that behave as a single unit), are called covalent compounds. Covalent compounds usually form from two nonmetals."} {"id": 2582, "contents": "319. Exercises - 319.1. Electromagnetic Energy\n1.

But it was not until 1985 that a new form of carbon was recognized:\nbuckminsterfullerene. This molecule was named after the architect and inventor R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983), whose signature architectural design was the geodesic dome, characterized by a lattice shell structure supporting a spherical surface. Experimental evidence revealed the formula, $\\mathrm{C}_{60}$, and then scientists determined how 60 carbon atoms could form one symmetric, stable molecule. They were guided by bonding theory-the topic of this chapter-which explains how individual atoms connect to form more complex structures."} {"id": 2603, "contents": "322. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Explain the formation of cations, anions, and ionic compounds\n- Predict the charge of common metallic and nonmetallic elements, and write their electron configurations\n\nAs you have learned, ions are atoms or molecules bearing an electrical charge. A cation (a positive ion) forms when a neutral atom loses one or more electrons from its valence shell, and an anion (a negative ion) forms when a neutral atom gains one or more electrons in its valence shell.\n\nCompounds composed of ions are called ionic compounds (or salts), and their constituent ions are held together by ionic bonds: electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions. The properties of ionic compounds shed some light on the nature of ionic bonds. Ionic solids exhibit a crystalline structure and tend to be rigid and brittle; they also tend to have high melting and boiling points, which suggests that ionic bonds are very strong. Ionic solids are also poor conductors of electricity for the same reason-the strength of ionic bonds prevents ions from moving freely in the solid state. Most ionic solids, however, dissolve readily in water. Once dissolved or melted, ionic compounds are excellent conductors of electricity and heat because the ions can move about freely.\n\nNeutral atoms and their associated ions have very different physical and chemical properties. Sodium atoms form sodium metal, a soft, silvery-white metal that burns vigorously in air and reacts explosively with water. Chlorine atoms form chlorine gas, $\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$, a yellow-green gas that is extremely corrosive to most metals and very poisonous to animals and plants. The vigorous reaction between the elements sodium and chlorine forms the white, crystalline compound sodium chloride, common table salt, which contains sodium cations and chloride anions (Figure 4.2). The compound composed of these ions exhibits properties entirely different from the properties of the elements sodium and chlorine. Chlorine is poisonous, but sodium chloride is essential to life; sodium atoms react vigorously with water, but sodium chloride simply dissolves in water."} {"id": 2604, "contents": "322. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nFIGURE 4.2 (a) Sodium is a soft metal that must be stored in mineral oil to prevent reaction with air or water. (b) Chlorine is a pale yellow-green gas. (c) When combined, they form white crystals of sodium chloride (table salt). (credit a: modification of work by \"Jurii\"/Wikimedia Commons)"} {"id": 2605, "contents": "323. The Formation of Ionic Compounds - \nBinary ionic compounds are composed of just two elements: a metal (which forms the cations) and a nonmetal (which forms the anions). For example, NaCl is a binary ionic compound. We can think about the formation of such compounds in terms of the periodic properties of the elements. Many metallic elements have relatively low ionization potentials and lose electrons easily. These elements lie to the left in a period or near the bottom of a group on the periodic table. Nonmetal atoms have relatively high electron affinities and thus readily gain electrons lost by metal atoms, thereby filling their valence shells. Nonmetallic elements are found in the upper-right corner of the periodic table.\n\nAs all substances must be electrically neutral, the total number of positive charges on the cations of an ionic compound must equal the total number of negative charges on its anions. The formula of an ionic compound represents the simplest ratio of the numbers of ions necessary to give identical numbers of positive and negative charges. For example, the formula for aluminum oxide, $\\mathrm{Al}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{3}$, indicates that this ionic compound contains two aluminum cations, $\\mathrm{Al}^{3+}$, for every three oxide anions, $\\mathrm{O}^{2-}$ [thus, $(2 \\times+3)+(3 \\times-2)=0$ ].\n\nIt is important to note, however, that the formula for an ionic compound does not represent the physical arrangement of its ions. It is incorrect to refer to a sodium chloride ( NaCl ) \"molecule\" because there is not a\nsingle ionic bond, per se, between any specific pair of sodium and chloride ions. The attractive forces between ions are isotropic-the same in all directions-meaning that any particular ion is equally attracted to all of the nearby ions of opposite charge. This results in the ions arranging themselves into a tightly bound, threedimensional lattice structure. Sodium chloride, for example, consists of a regular arrangement of equal numbers of $\\mathrm{Na}^{+}$cations and $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$anions (Figure 4.3)."} {"id": 2606, "contents": "323.

The smaller spheres represent sodium ions, the larger ones represent chloride ions. In the expanded view (b), the geometry can be seen more clearly. Note that each ion is \"bonded\" to all of the surrounding ions-six in this case.\n\nThe strong electrostatic attraction between $\\mathrm{Na}^{+}$and $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ions holds them tightly together in solid NaCl . It requires 769 kJ of energy to dissociate one mole of solid NaCl into separate gaseous $\\mathrm{Na}^{+}$and $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ions:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{NaCl}(s) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{Na}^{+}(g)+\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(g) \\quad \\Delta H=769 \\mathrm{~kJ}\n$$"} {"id": 2607, "contents": "324. Electronic Structures of Cations - \nWhen forming a cation, an atom of a main group element tends to lose all of its valence electrons, thus assuming the electronic structure of the noble gas that precedes it in the periodic table. For groups 1 (the alkali metals) and 2 (the alkaline earth metals), the group numbers are equal to the numbers of valence shell electrons and, consequently, to the charges of the cations formed from atoms of these elements when all valence shell electrons are removed. For example, calcium is a group 2 element whose neutral atoms have 20 electrons and a ground state electron configuration of $1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 4 s^{2}$. When a Ca atom loses both of its valence electrons, the result is a cation with 18 electrons, a $2+$ charge, and an electron configuration of $1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6}$. The $\\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ ion is therefore isoelectronic with the noble gas Ar.\n\nFor groups 13-17, the group numbers exceed the number of valence electrons by 10 (accounting for the possibility of full $d$ subshells in atoms of elements in the fourth and greater periods). Thus, the charge of a cation formed by the loss of all valence electrons is equal to the group number minus 10. For example, aluminum (in group 13) forms $3+$ ions $\\left(\\mathrm{Al}^{3+}\\right)$."} {"id": 2608, "contents": "324.

The formation of these $1+, 2+$, and $3+$ cations is ascribed to the inert pair effect, which reflects the relatively low energy of the valence $s$-electron pair for atoms of the heavy elements of groups 13,14 , and 15 . Mercury (group 12) also exhibits an unexpected behavior: it forms a diatomic ion, $\\mathrm{Hg}_{2}{ }^{2+}$ (an ion formed from two mercury atoms, with an $\\mathrm{Hg}-\\mathrm{Hg}$ bond), in addition to the expected monatomic ion $\\mathrm{Hg}^{2+}$ (formed from only one mercury atom)."} {"id": 2609, "contents": "324. Electronic Structures of Cations - \nTransition and inner transition metal elements behave differently than main group elements.

For example, iron $\\left(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 3 d^{6} 4 s^{2}\\right)$ forms the ion $\\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\\left(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 3 d^{6}\\right)$ by the loss of the $4 s$ electrons and the ion $\\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\\left(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 3 d^{5}\\right)$ by the loss of the $4 s$ electron and one of the $3 d$ electrons. Although the $d$ orbitals of\nthe transition elements are-according to the Aufbau principle-the last to fill when building up electron configurations, the outermost $s$ electrons are the first to be lost when these atoms ionize.

Covalent Bonding\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Describe the formation of covalent bonds\n- Define electronegativity and assess the polarity of covalent bonds\n\nIonic bonding results from the electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions that are typically produced by the transfer of electrons between metallic and nonmetallic atoms. A different type of bonding results from the mutual attraction of atoms for a \"shared\" pair of electrons. Such bonds are called covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed between two atoms when both have similar tendencies to attract electrons to themselves (i.e., when both atoms have identical or fairly similar ionization energies and electron affinities). For example, two hydrogen atoms bond covalently to form an $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ molecule; each hydrogen atom in the $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ molecule has two electrons stabilizing it, giving each atom the same number of valence electrons as the noble gas He .\n\nCompounds that contain covalent bonds exhibit different physical properties than ionic compounds. Because the attraction between molecules, which are electrically neutral, is weaker than that between electrically charged ions, covalent compounds generally have much lower melting and boiling points than ionic compounds. In fact, many covalent compounds are liquids or gases at room temperature, and, in their solid states, they are typically much softer than ionic solids. Furthermore, whereas ionic compounds are good conductors of electricity when dissolved in water, most covalent compounds are insoluble in water; since they are electrically neutral, they are poor conductors of electricity in any state."} {"id": 2620, "contents": "336.

Starting on the far right, we have two separate hydrogen atoms with a particular potential energy, indicated by the red line. Along the $x$-axis is the distance between the two atoms. As the two atoms approach each other (moving left along the $x$-axis), their valence orbitals (1s) begin to overlap. The single electrons on each hydrogen atom then interact with both atomic nuclei, occupying the space around both atoms. The strong attraction of each shared electron to both nuclei stabilizes the system, and the potential energy decreases as the bond distance decreases. If the atoms continue to approach each other, the positive charges in the two nuclei begin to repel each other, and the potential energy increases. The bond length is determined by the distance at which the lowest potential energy is achieved.\n\n\nFIGURE 4.4 The potential energy of two separate hydrogen atoms (right) decreases as they approach each other, and the single electrons on each atom are shared to form a covalent bond. The bond length is the internuclear distance at which the lowest potential energy is achieved.\n\nIt is essential to remember that energy must be added to break chemical bonds (an endothermic process), whereas forming chemical bonds releases energy (an exothermic process). In the case of $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$, the covalent bond is very strong; a large amount of energy, 436 kJ , must be added to break the bonds in one mole of hydrogen molecules and cause the atoms to separate:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{H}_{2}(\\mathrm{~g}) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{H}(\\mathrm{~g}) \\quad \\Delta H=436 \\mathrm{~kJ}\n$$\n\nConversely, the same amount of energy is released when one mole of $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ molecules forms from two moles of H atoms:\n\n$$\n2 \\mathrm{H}(\\mathrm{~g}) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{H}_{2}(\\mathrm{~g}) \\quad \\Delta H=-436 \\mathrm{~kJ}\n$$"} {"id": 2621, "contents": "337. Pure vs. Polar Covalent Bonds - \nIf the atoms that form a covalent bond are identical, as in $\\mathrm{H}_{2}, \\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$, and other diatomic molecules, then the electrons in the bond must be shared equally. We refer to this as a pure covalent bond. Electrons shared in\npure covalent bonds have an equal probability of being near each nucleus.\nIn the case of $\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$, each atom starts off with seven valence electrons, and each Cl shares one electron with the other, forming one covalent bond:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{Cl}+\\mathrm{Cl} \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\n$$\n\nThe total number of electrons around each individual atom consists of six nonbonding electrons and two shared (i.e., bonding) electrons for eight total electrons, matching the number of valence electrons in the noble gas argon. Since the bonding atoms are identical, $\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ also features a pure covalent bond.\n\nWhen the atoms linked by a covalent bond are different, the bonding electrons are shared, but no longer equally. Instead, the bonding electrons are more attracted to one atom than the other, giving rise to a shift of electron density toward that atom. This unequal distribution of electrons is known as a polar covalent bond, characterized by a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial negative charge on the other. The atom that attracts the electrons more strongly acquires the partial negative charge and vice versa. For example, the electrons in the $\\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{Cl}$ bond of a hydrogen chloride molecule spend more time near the chlorine atom than near the hydrogen atom. Thus, in an HCl molecule, the chlorine atom carries a partial negative charge and the hydrogen atom has a partial positive charge. Figure 4.5 shows the distribution of electrons in the $\\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{Cl}$ bond. Note that the shaded area around Cl is much larger than it is around H . Compare this to Figure 4.4, which shows the even distribution of electrons in the $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ nonpolar bond."} {"id": 2622, "contents": "337.

Electronegativity - \nWhether a bond is nonpolar or polar covalent is determined by a property of the bonding atoms called electronegativity. Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract electrons (or electron density) towards itself. It determines how the shared electrons are distributed between the two atoms in a bond. The more strongly an atom attracts the electrons in its bonds, the larger its electronegativity. Electrons in a polar covalent bond are shifted toward the more electronegative atom; thus, the more electronegative atom is the one with the partial negative charge. The greater the difference in electronegativity, the more polarized the electron distribution and the larger the partial charges of the atoms.\n\nFigure 4.6 shows the electronegativity values of the elements as proposed by one of the most famous chemists of the twentieth century: Linus Pauling (Figure 4.7). In general, electronegativity increases from left to right across a period in the periodic table and decreases down a group. Thus, the nonmetals, which lie in the upper right, tend to have the highest electronegativities, with fluorine the most electronegative element of all (EN = 4.0). Metals tend to be less electronegative elements, and the group 1 metals have the lowest electronegativities. Note that noble gases are excluded from this figure because these atoms usually do not share electrons with others atoms since they have a full valence shell. (While noble gas compounds such as $\\mathrm{XeO}_{2}$ do exist, they can only be formed under extreme conditions, and thus they do not fit neatly into the general model of electronegativity.)\n\n\nFIGURE 4.6 The electronegativity values derived by Pauling follow predictable periodic trends, with the higher electronegativities toward the upper right of the periodic table."} {"id": 2624, "contents": "339.

Electronegativity, on the other hand, describes how tightly an atom attracts electrons in a bond. It is a dimensionless quantity that is calculated, not measured.

Electronegativity and Bond Type - \nThe absolute value of the difference in electronegativity ( $\\Delta \\mathrm{EN}$ ) of two bonded atoms provides a rough measure of the polarity to be expected in the bond and, thus, the bond type.

The absolute values of the electronegativity differences between the atoms in the bonds $\\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{H}, \\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{Cl}$, and $\\mathrm{Na}-\\mathrm{Cl}$ are 0 (nonpolar), 0.9 (polar covalent), and 2.1 (ionic), respectively.

For example, the H and F atoms in HF have an electronegativity difference of 1.9, and the N and H atoms in $\\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ a difference of 0.9 , yet both of these compounds form bonds that are considered polar covalent. Likewise, the Na and Cl atoms in NaCl have an electronegativity difference of 2.1, and the Mn and I atoms in $\\mathrm{MnI}_{2}$ have a difference of 1.0, yet both of these substances form ionic compounds.\n\nThe best guide to the covalent or ionic character of a bond is to consider the types of atoms involved and their relative positions in the periodic table.

The Octet Rule - \nThe other halogen molecules ( $\\mathrm{F}_{2}, \\mathrm{Br}_{2}, \\mathrm{I}_{2}$, and $\\mathrm{At}_{2}$ ) form bonds like those in the chlorine molecule: one single bond between atoms and three lone pairs of electrons per atom. This allows each halogen atom to have a noble gas electron configuration. The tendency of main group atoms to form enough bonds to obtain eight valence electrons is known as the octet rule.\n\nThe number of bonds that an atom can form can often be predicted from the number of electrons needed to reach an octet (eight valence electrons); this is especially true of the nonmetals of the second period of the periodic table ( $\\mathrm{C}, \\mathrm{N}, \\mathrm{O}$, and F ). For example, each atom of a group 14 element has four electrons in its outermost shell and therefore requires four more electrons to reach an octet. These four electrons can be gained by forming four covalent bonds, as illustrated here for carbon in $\\mathrm{CCl}_{4}$ (carbon tetrachloride) and silicon in $\\mathrm{SiH}_{4}$ (silane). Because hydrogen only needs two electrons to fill its valence shell, it is an exception to the octet rule. The transition elements and inner transition elements also do not follow the octet rule:\n\n\nGroup 15 elements such as nitrogen have five valence electrons in the atomic Lewis symbol: one lone pair and three unpaired electrons. To obtain an octet, these atoms form three covalent bonds, as in $\\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ (ammonia). Oxygen and other atoms in group 16 obtain an octet by forming two covalent bonds:\n\n\nDouble and Triple Bonds\nAs previously mentioned, when a pair of atoms shares one pair of electrons, we call this a single bond.

Fullerene Chemistry - \nCarbon, in various forms and compounds, has been known since prehistoric times, . Soot has been used as a pigment (often called carbon black) for thousands of years. Charcoal, high in carbon content, has likewise been critical to human development. Carbon is the key additive to iron in the steelmaking process, and diamonds have a unique place in both culture and industry. With all this usage came significant study, particularly with the emergence of organic chemistry. And even with all the known forms and functions of the element, scientists began to uncover the potential for even more varied and extensive carbon structures.\n\nAs early as the 1960s, chemists began to observe complex carbon structures, but they had little evidence to support their concepts, or their work did not make it into the mainstream. Eiji Osawa predicted a spherical form based on observations of a similar structure, but his work was not widely known outside Japan. In a similar manner, the most comprehensive advance was likely computational chemist Elena Galpern's, who in 1973 predicted a highly stable, 60-carbon molecule; her work was also isolated to her native Russia. Still later, Harold Kroto, working with Canadian radio astronomers, sought to uncover the nature of long carbon chains that had been discovered in interstellar space.\n\nKroto sought to use a machine developed by Richard Smalley's team at Rice University to learn more about these structures. Together with Robert Curl, who had introduced them, and three graduate students-James Heath, Sean O'Brien, and Yuan Liu-they performed an intensive series of experiments that led to a major discovery.\n\nIn 1996, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Richard Smalley (Figure 4.12), Robert Curl, and Harold Kroto for their work in discovering a new form of carbon, the $\\mathrm{C}_{60}$ buckminsterfullerene molecule (Figure 4.1). An entire class of compounds, including spheres and tubes of various shapes, were discovered based on $\\mathrm{C}_{60}$. This type of molecule, called a fullerene, shows promise in a variety of applications. Because of their size and shape, fullerenes can encapsulate other molecules, so they have shown potential in various applications from hydrogen storage to targeted drug delivery systems.

Determine the total number of valence (outer shell) electrons. The sum of the valence electrons is 5 (from $\\mathrm{N})+6($ from O$)=11$.

It is possible to draw a structure with a double bond between a boron atom and a fluorine atom in $\\mathrm{BF}_{3}$, satisfying the octet rule, but experimental evidence indicates the bond lengths are closer to that expected for B-F single bonds. This suggests the best Lewis structure has three B-F single bonds and an electron deficient boron. The reactivity of the compound is also consistent with an electron deficient boron.

Using Formal Charge to Predict Molecular Structure - \nThe arrangement of atoms in a molecule or ion is called its molecular structure. In many cases, following the steps for writing Lewis structures may lead to more than one possible molecular structure-different multiple bond and lone-pair electron placements or different arrangements of atoms, for instance. A few guidelines involving formal charge can be helpful in deciding which of the possible structures is most likely for a particular molecule or ion:\n\n1. A molecular structure in which all formal charges are zero is preferable to one in which some formal charges are not zero.\n2. If the Lewis structure must have nonzero formal charges, the arrangement with the smallest nonzero formal charges is preferable.\n3. Lewis structures are preferable when adjacent formal charges are zero or of the opposite sign.\n4. When we must choose among several Lewis structures with similar distributions of formal charges, the structure with the negative formal charges on the more electronegative atoms is preferable.\n\nTo see how these guidelines apply, let us consider some possible structures for carbon dioxide, $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$. We know from our previous discussion that the less electronegative atom typically occupies the central position, but formal charges allow us to understand why this occurs. We can draw three possibilities for the structure: carbon in the center and double bonds, carbon in the center with a single and triple bond, and oxygen in the center with double bonds:\n\n| $\\ddot{\\mathrm{O}}=\\mathrm{C}=\\ddot{\\mathrm{O}}$ | $: \\mathrm{O} \\equiv \\mathrm{C}-\\ddot{\\mathrm{O}}:$ | $\\ddot{\\mathrm{O}}=\\mathrm{O}=\\ddot{\\mathrm{C}}$ | Structure | | | |\n| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |\n| 0 | 0 | 0 | +1 | 0 | -1 | 0 |\n| $\\cdots$ | +2 | -2 | Formal charge | | | |\n\nComparing the three formal charges, we can definitively identify the structure on the left as preferable because it has only formal charges of zero (Guideline 1)."} {"id": 2689, "contents": "404.

Resonance - \nWe should remember that a molecule described as a resonance hybrid never possesses an electronic structure described by either resonance form. It does not fluctuate between resonance forms; rather, the actual electronic structure is always the average of that shown by all resonance forms. George Wheland, one of the pioneers of resonance theory, used a historical analogy to describe the relationship between resonance forms and resonance hybrids. A medieval traveler, having never before seen a rhinoceros, described it as a hybrid of a dragon and a unicorn because it had many properties in common with both. Just as a rhinoceros is neither a dragon sometimes nor a unicorn at other times, a resonance hybrid is neither of its resonance forms at any\ngiven time. Like a rhinoceros, it is a real entity that experimental evidence has shown to exist. It has some characteristics in common with its resonance forms, but the resonance forms themselves are convenient, imaginary images (like the unicorn and the dragon).\n\nThe carbonate anion, $\\mathrm{CO}_{3}{ }^{2-}$, provides a second example of resonance:\n\n\nOne oxygen atom must have a double bond to carbon to complete the octet on the central atom. All oxygen atoms, however, are equivalent, and the double bond could form from any one of the three atoms. This gives rise to three resonance forms of the carbonate ion. Because we can write three identical resonance structures, we know that the actual arrangement of electrons in the carbonate ion is the average of the three structures.

However, molecular structure is actually three-dimensional, and it is important to be able to describe molecular bonds in terms of their distances, angles, and relative arrangements in space (Figure 4.14). A bond angle is the angle between any two bonds that include a common atom, usually measured in degrees.

VSEPR Theory - \nValence shell electron-pair repulsion theory (VSEPR theory) enables us to predict the molecular structure, including approximate bond angles around a central atom, of a molecule from an examination of the number of bonds and lone electron pairs in its Lewis structure. The VSEPR model assumes that electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom will adopt an arrangement that minimizes repulsions between these electron pairs by maximizing the distance between them. The electrons in the valence shell of a central atom form\neither bonding pairs of electrons, located primarily between bonded atoms, or lone pairs. The electrostatic repulsion of these electrons is reduced when the various regions of high electron density assume positions as far from each other as possible.\n\nVSEPR theory predicts the arrangement of electron pairs around each central atom and, usually, the correct arrangement of atoms in a molecule. We should understand, however, that the theory only considers electronpair repulsions. Other interactions, such as nuclear-nuclear repulsions and nuclear-electron attractions, are also involved in the final arrangement that atoms adopt in a particular molecular structure.\n\nAs a simple example of VSEPR theory, let us predict the structure of a gaseous $\\mathrm{BeF}_{2}$ molecule. The Lewis structure of $\\mathrm{BeF}_{2}$ (Figure 4.15) shows only two electron pairs around the central beryllium atom. With two bonds and no lone pairs of electrons on the central atom, the bonds are as far apart as possible, and the electrostatic repulsion between these regions of high electron density is reduced to a minimum when they are on opposite sides of the central atom.

Electron-pair Geometry versus Molecular Structure - \nIt is important to note that electron-pair geometry around a central atom is not the same thing as its molecular structure. The electron-pair geometries shown in Figure 4.16 describe all regions where electrons are located, bonds as well as lone pairs. Molecular structure describes the location of the atoms, not the electrons.\n\nWe differentiate between these two situations by naming the geometry that includes all electron pairs the electron-pair geometry. The structure that includes only the placement of the atoms in the molecule is called the molecular structure. The electron-pair geometries will be the same as the molecular structures when there are no lone electron pairs around the central atom, but they will be different when there are lone pairs present on the central atom.\n\nFor example, the methane molecule, $\\mathrm{CH}_{4}$, which is the major component of natural gas, has four bonding pairs of electrons around the central carbon atom; the electron-pair geometry is tetrahedral, as is the molecular structure (Figure 4.17). On the other hand, the ammonia molecule, $\\mathrm{NH}_{3}$, also has four electron pairs associated with the nitrogen atom, and thus has a tetrahedral electron-pair geometry. One of these regions, however, is a lone pair, which is not included in the molecular structure, and this lone pair influences the shape of the molecule (Figure 4.18).\n\n\nFIGURE 4.17 The molecular structure of the methane molecule, $\\mathrm{CH}_{4}$, is shown with a tetrahedral arrangement of the hydrogen atoms.

It does not matter which X is replaced with a lone pair because the molecules can be rotated to convert positions. For trigonal bipyramidal electron-pair geometries, however, there are two distinct $X$ positions, as shown in Figure 4.20: an axial position (if we hold a model of a trigonal bipyramid by the two axial positions, we have an axis around which we can rotate the model) and an equatorial position (three positions form an equator around the middle of the molecule). As shown in Figure 4.19, the axial position is surrounded by bond angles of $90^{\\circ}$, whereas the equatorial position has more space available because of the $120^{\\circ}$ bond angles.

Molecular Polarity and Dipole Moment - \nAs discussed previously, polar covalent bonds connect two atoms with differing electronegativities, leaving one atom with a partial positive charge ( $\\delta^{+}$) and the other atom with a partial negative charge ( $\\delta^{-}$), as the electrons are pulled toward the more electronegative atom. This separation of charge gives rise to a bond dipole moment. The magnitude of a bond dipole moment is represented by the Greek letter mu( $\\mu$ ) and is given by the formula shown here, where Q is the magnitude of the partial charges (determined by the electronegativity difference) and $r$ is the distance between the charges:\n\n$$\n\\mu=\\mathrm{Qr}\n$$\n\nThis bond moment can be represented as a vector, a quantity having both direction and magnitude (Figure 4.26). Dipole vectors are shown as arrows pointing along the bond from the less electronegative atom toward the more electronegative atom. A small plus sign is drawn on the less electronegative end to indicate the partially positive end of the bond. The length of the arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the electronegativity difference between the two atoms.\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\nFIGURE 4.26 (a) There is a small difference in electronegativity between C and H , represented as a short vector. (b) The electronegativity difference between $B$ and $F$ is much larger, so the vector representing the bond moment is much longer.\n\nA whole molecule may also have a separation of charge, depending on its molecular structure and the polarity of each of its bonds. If such a charge separation exists, the molecule is said to be a polar molecule (or dipole); otherwise the molecule is said to be nonpolar. The dipole moment measures the extent of net charge separation in the molecule as a whole. We determine the dipole moment by adding the bond moments in three-dimensional space, taking into account the molecular structure."} {"id": 2735, "contents": "451. Molecular Polarity and Dipole Moment - \nFor diatomic molecules, there is only one bond, so its bond dipole moment determines the molecular polarity. Homonuclear diatomic molecules such as $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ and $\\mathrm{N}_{2}$ have no difference in electronegativity, so their dipole moment is zero. For heteronuclear molecules such as CO, there is a small dipole moment. For HF, there is a larger dipole moment because there is a larger difference in electronegativity.\n\nWhen a molecule contains more than one bond, the geometry must be taken into account. If the bonds in a molecule are arranged such that their bond moments cancel (vector sum equals zero), then the molecule is nonpolar. This is the situation in $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ (Figure 4.27). Each of the bonds is polar, but the molecule as a whole is nonpolar. From the Lewis structure, and using VSEPR theory, we determine that the $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ molecule is linear with polar $\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{O}$ bonds on opposite sides of the carbon atom. The bond moments cancel because they are pointed in opposite directions. In the case of the water molecule (Figure 4.27), the Lewis structure again shows that there are two bonds to a central atom, and the electronegativity difference again shows that each of these bonds has a nonzero bond moment. In this case, however, the molecular structure is bent because of the lone pairs on O , and the two bond moments do not cancel. Therefore, water does have a net dipole moment and is a polar molecule (dipole).\n\n\nFIGURE 4.27 The overall dipole moment of a molecule depends on the individual bond dipole moments and how they are arranged. (a) Each CO bond has a bond dipole moment, but they point in opposite directions so that the net $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ molecule is nonpolar. (b) In contrast, water is polar because the OH bond moments do not cancel out.\n\nThe OCS molecule has a structure similar to $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$, but a sulfur atom has replaced one of the oxygen atoms. To determine if this molecule is polar, we draw the molecular structure. VSEPR theory predicts a linear molecule:"} {"id": 2736, "contents": "451. Molecular Polarity and Dipole Moment - \nThe C-O bond is considerably polar. Although C and $S$ have very similar electronegativity values, $S$ is slightly more electronegative than C , and so the $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{S}$ bond is just slightly polar. Because oxygen is more electronegative than sulfur, the oxygen end of the molecule is the negative end.\n\nChloromethane, $\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{Cl}$, is a tetrahedral molecule with three slightly polar $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ bonds and a more polar $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{Cl}$ bond. The relative electronegativities of the bonded atoms is $\\mathrm{H}<\\mathrm{C}<\\mathrm{Cl}$, and so the bond moments all point toward the Cl end of the molecule and sum to yield a considerable dipole moment (the molecules are relatively polar).\n\n\nFor molecules of high symmetry such as $\\mathrm{BF}_{3}$ (trigonal planar), $\\mathrm{CH}_{4}$ (tetrahedral), $\\mathrm{PF}_{5}$ (trigonal bipyramidal), and $\\mathrm{SF}_{6}$ (octahedral), all the bonds are of identical polarity (same bond moment) and they are oriented in geometries that yield nonpolar molecules (dipole moment is zero). Molecules of less geometric symmetry, however, may be polar even when all bond moments are identical. For these molecules, the directions of the equal bond moments are such that they sum to give a nonzero dipole moment and a polar molecule. Examples of such molecules include hydrogen sulfide, $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{~S}$ (nonlinear), and ammonia, $\\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ (trigonal pyramidal).\n\n\n\nTo summarize, to be polar, a molecule must:\n\n1.

Summary - 461.2. Covalent Bonding\nCovalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms and are attracted by the nuclei of both atoms. In pure covalent bonds, the electrons are shared equally. In polar covalent bonds, the electrons are shared unequally, as one atom exerts a stronger force of attraction on the electrons than the other. The ability of an atom to attract a pair of electrons in a chemical bond is called its electronegativity. The difference in electronegativity between two atoms determines how polar a bond will be. In a diatomic molecule with two identical atoms, there is no difference in electronegativity, so the bond is nonpolar or pure covalent. When the electronegativity difference is very large, as is the case between metals and nonmetals, the bonding is characterized as ionic."} {"id": 2749, "contents": "461. Summary - 461.3. Chemical Nomenclature\nChemists use nomenclature rules to clearly name compounds. Ionic and molecular compounds are named using somewhat-different methods. Binary ionic compounds typically consist of a metal and a\nnonmetal. The name of the metal is written first, followed by the name of the nonmetal with its ending changed to -ide. For example, $\\mathrm{K}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$ is called potassium oxide. If the metal can form ions with different charges, a Roman numeral in parentheses follows the name of the metal to specify its charge. Thus, $\\mathrm{FeCl}_{2}$ is iron(II) chloride and $\\mathrm{FeCl}_{3}$ is iron(III) chloride. Some compounds contain polyatomic ions; the names of common polyatomic ions should be memorized. Molecular compounds can form compounds with different ratios of their elements, so prefixes are used to specify the numbers of atoms of each element in a molecule of the compound. Examples include $\\mathrm{SF}_{6}$, sulfur hexafluoride, and $\\mathrm{N}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{4}$, dinitrogen tetroxide. Acids are an important class of compounds containing hydrogen and having special nomenclature rules. Binary acids are named using the prefix hydro-, changing the -ide suffix to $-i c$, and adding \"acid;\" HCl is hydrochloric acid.

Molecular structure, which refers only to the placement of atoms in a molecule and not the electrons, is equivalent to electron-pair geometry only when there are no lone electron pairs around the central atom. A dipole moment measures a separation of charge. For one bond, the bond dipole moment is determined by the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms.

These ideas provide an important starting point for understanding chemical bonding. But these models sometimes fall short in their abilities to predict the behavior of real substances. How can we reconcile the geometries of $s, p$, and $d$ atomic orbitals with molecular shapes that show angles like $120^{\\circ}$ and $109.5^{\\circ}$ ?

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Describe the formation of covalent bonds in terms of atomic orbital overlap\n- Define and give examples of $\\sigma$ and $\\pi$ bonds\n\nAs we know, a scientific theory is a strongly supported explanation for observed natural laws or large bodies of experimental data. For a theory to be accepted, it must explain experimental data and be able to predict behavior. For example, VSEPR theory has gained widespread acceptance because it predicts threedimensional molecular shapes that are consistent with experimental data collected for thousands of different molecules. However, VSEPR theory does not provide an explanation of chemical bonding."} {"id": 2778, "contents": "466. Atomic Orbital Overlap - \nThere are successful theories that describe the electronic structure of atoms. We can use quantum mechanics to predict the specific regions around an atom where electrons are likely to be located: A spherical shape for an $s$ orbital, a dumbbell shape for a $p$ orbital, and so forth. However, these predictions only describe the orbitals around free atoms. When atoms bond to form molecules, atomic orbitals are not sufficient to describe the regions where electrons will be located in the molecule. A more complete understanding of electron distributions requires a model that can account for the electronic structure of molecules. One popular theory holds that a covalent bond forms when a pair of electrons is shared by two atoms and is simultaneously attracted by the nuclei of both atoms. In the following sections, we will discuss how such bonds are described by valence bond theory and hybridization.\n\nValence bond theory describes a covalent bond as the overlap of half-filled atomic orbitals (each containing a single electron) that yield a pair of electrons shared between the two bonded atoms. We say that orbitals on two different atoms overlap when a portion of one orbital and a portion of a second orbital occupy the same region of space. According to valence bond theory, a covalent bond results when two conditions are met: (1) an orbital on one atom overlaps an orbital on a second atom and (2) the single electrons in each orbital combine to form an electron pair. The mutual attraction between this negatively charged electron pair and the two atoms' positively charged nuclei serves to physically link the two atoms through a force we define as a covalent bond. The strength of a covalent bond depends on the extent of overlap of the orbitals involved. Orbitals that overlap extensively form bonds that are stronger than those that have less overlap."} {"id": 2779, "contents": "466. Atomic Orbital Overlap - \nThe energy of the system depends on how much the orbitals overlap. Figure 5.2 illustrates how the sum of the energies of two hydrogen atoms (the colored curve) changes as they approach each other. When the atoms are far apart there is no overlap, and by convention we set the sum of the energies at zero. As the atoms move together, their orbitals begin to overlap. Each electron begins to feel the attraction of the nucleus in the other atom. In addition, the electrons begin to repel each other, as do the nuclei. While the atoms are still widely separated, the attractions are slightly stronger than the repulsions, and the energy of the system decreases. (A bond begins to form.) As the atoms move closer together, the overlap increases, so the attraction of the nuclei for the electrons continues to increase (as do the repulsions among electrons and between the nuclei). At some specific distance between the atoms, which varies depending on the atoms involved, the energy reaches its lowest (most stable) value. This optimum distance between the two bonded nuclei is the bond distance between the two atoms. The bond is stable because at this point, the attractive and repulsive forces combine to create the lowest possible energy configuration. If the distance between the nuclei were to decrease further, the repulsions between nuclei and the repulsions as electrons are confined in closer proximity to each other would become stronger than the attractive forces. The energy of the system would then rise (making the system destabilized), as shown at the far left of Figure 5.2.\n\n\nFIGURE 5.2 (a) The interaction of two hydrogen atoms changes as a function of distance. (b) The energy of the system changes as the atoms interact. The lowest (most stable) energy occurs at a distance of 74 pm , which is the bond length observed for the $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ molecule.\n\nIn addition to the distance between two orbitals, the orientation of orbitals also affects their overlap (other than for two $s$ orbitals, which are spherically symmetric). Greater overlap is possible when orbitals are oriented such that they overlap on a direct line between the two nuclei. Figure 5.3 illustrates this for two $p$ orbitals from different atoms; the overlap is greater when the orbitals overlap end to end rather than at an angle.\n\n(a)\n\n(b)"} {"id": 2780, "contents": "466.

Dipole Moments and Ionic Character - \nNow that we have seen the importance of understanding the connection between the location of electrons in atoms and the properties of elements, we can expand our understanding of the connection between atoms. This will be an introduction to more advanced aspects of the chemical bond, which is the very heart of chemistry itself. With the sole exception of the noble gases, atoms by themselves do not possess the most stable possible electron configuration. That is where the concept of chemical bonding comes into its own: atoms can attain a stable configuration by exchanging electrons with another atom, resulting in the formation of ions.\nIons, in turn, can associate by charge - simple Coulombic attraction - resulting in the formation of compounds we call ionic compounds. We will look at the ionic nature of bonds first, from a simple positive-negative attraction standpoint. Just as important is that some atoms bond by sharing rather than exchanging electrons; the sharing of electrons gives rise to the covalent bond. To add just one more dimension, some chemical species are neither completely ionic nor completely covalent; these species possess a permanent dipole, and are classified as polar.\nIn your introductory physics course, you will likely discuss the concept of Coulombic interactions in much more rigorous detail than we will do here. We are interested primarily in the differences in properties between species that arise from their relative covalent, ionic, or polar nature - not in a rigorous model of those properties. We are concerned with the connection between potential energy and force and the relative separation (or lack of separation) between charges. We begin by defining the electric or Coulomb force as the product of the charges divided by the square of the distance between those charges:\n\n$$\nF=\\frac{Q_{1} Q_{2}}{d^{2}}\n$$\n\nHere, $Q$ is taken to be the fundamental constant of electron charge: one electron has a charge of $1.60218 \\times 10^{-19} \\mathrm{C}$.

If all matter were composed of ions that would be the end of the story, but it clearly is not. There are molecules for which the charge - either positive or negative - is permanently concentrated more on one atom than the other. Notice we say atom, because these compounds are not composed of ions but rather of atoms sharing electrons through covalent bonds."} {"id": 2789, "contents": "474. Bond Dipole Moments - \nThe concept of a bond dipole moment allows us to examine the partial separation of charge between atoms. It is a simple model when applied to diatomic molecules, which will be more than sufficient for our purposes. The dipole moment of a bond is defined as the charge times the distance - charge once again being measured in multiples of the charge on an electron, or coulombs. The distance will always be in meters. Because we are considering very small charges and distances, and because it is the relative separation of charge rather than the actual value for it that we are interested in, we will introduce a new unit called the Debye, named after the physical chemist Peter Debye:\n\n$$\n1 \\text { Debye }(\\mathrm{D})=3.336 \\times 10^{-30} \\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{m} \\quad \\mu=Q \\times d\n$$\n\nThe usefulness of the Debye unit will be shown by example:\nFor HCl , the bond dipole moment is known to be 1.08 D\nFor HI, the bond dipole moment is known to be 0.44 D\nComparing the two, we can see that HI is less polar than HCl , which is what we would expect based on electronegativity values.\n\nWe have now made a transition between the concept of an ionic compound and a partially ionic one.

Partial Ionic Character - \nThe concept of the bond dipole moment helps bridge the concepts of ionic and covalent bonding. Because there is a separation of charge that is less complete than it is in an ionic bond, we can refer to polar bonds as being partially ionic in nature. In contrast to sodium chloride, hydrogen chloride shows partial charges (indicated with a delta notation) on the hydrogen and chlorine. As you would expect from the electronegativity values, hydrogen carries a partial positive charge, while chlorine carries a partial negative charge. Where do these charges come from?\n\nIt is easy to come up with the partial charges by comparing the actual dipole moments (which can be obtained experimentally, using spectroscopy) with the dipole expected in the limiting case (that is, if we were to consider the molecule ionic).

The atoms that make up the element combine in various ways, ranging from the mostly ionic ( NaCl ) to the partially ionic ( HCl ) to what we will call purely covalent. At the most fundamental level, all chemical bonds involve electrons, and a significant percentage of chemical and physical properties can be explained by considering the location and separation of charge in a species. By understanding the structure of matter at the atomic level, we can begin to build an understanding of the behavior of matter at both the microscopic and macroscopic levels.\n\nAn understanding of dipoles and partial ionic character is fundamental to understanding the interactions between particles, which we will examine in the chapter on liquids and solids.

However, to understand how molecules with more than two atoms form stable bonds, we require a more detailed model. As an example, let us consider the water molecule, in which we have one oxygen atom bonding to two hydrogen atoms. Oxygen has the electron configuration $1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{4}$, with two unpaired electrons (one in each of the two $2 p$ orbitals). Valence bond theory would predict that the two $\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$ bonds form from the overlap of these two $2 p$ orbitals with the $1 s$ orbitals of the hydrogen atoms. If this were the case, the bond angle would be $90^{\\circ}$, as shown in Figure 5.6 , because $p$ orbitals are perpendicular to each other. Experimental evidence shows that the bond angle is $104.5^{\\circ}$, not $90^{\\circ}$. The prediction of the valence bond theory model does not match the real-world observations of a water molecule; a different model is needed.\n\n\nFIGURE 5.6 The hypothetical overlap of two of the $2 p$ orbitals on an oxygen atom (red) with the 1 s orbitals of two hydrogen atoms (blue) would produce a bond angle of $90^{\\circ}$.

The mathematical expression known as the wave function, $\\psi$, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals, LCAO, (a technique that we will encounter again later). The new orbitals that result are called hybrid orbitals. The valence orbitals in an isolated oxygen atom are a $2 s$ orbital and three $2 p$ orbitals. The valence orbitals in an oxygen atom in a water molecule differ; they consist of four equivalent hybrid orbitals that point approximately toward the corners of a tetrahedron (Figure 5.7). Consequently, the overlap of the O and H orbitals should result in a tetrahedral bond angle $\\left(109.5^{\\circ}\\right)$.

This hybridization process involves mixing of the valence $s$ orbital with one of the valence $p$ orbitals to yield two equivalent $\\boldsymbol{s p}$ hybrid orbitals that are oriented in a linear geometry (Figure 5.8). In this figure, the set of $s p$ orbitals appears similar in shape to the original $p$ orbital, but there is an important difference.

Using quantum mechanics, the behavior of an electron in a molecule is still described by a wave function, $\\Psi$, analogous to the behavior in an atom. Just like electrons around isolated atoms, electrons around atoms in molecules are limited to discrete (quantized) energies. The region of space in which a valence electron in a molecule is likely to be found is called a molecular orbital ( $\\Psi^{2}$ ). Like an atomic orbital, a molecular orbital is full when it contains two electrons with opposite spin.\n\nWe will consider the molecular orbitals in molecules composed of two identical atoms ( $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ or $\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$, for example). Such molecules are called homonuclear diatomic molecules. In these diatomic molecules, several types of molecular orbitals occur.\n\nThe mathematical process of combining atomic orbitals to generate molecular orbitals is called the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO). The wave function describes the wavelike properties of an electron. Molecular orbitals are combinations of atomic orbital wave functions. Combining waves can lead to constructive interference, in which peaks line up with peaks, or destructive interference, in which peaks line up with troughs (Figure 5.28). In orbitals, the waves are three dimensional, and they combine with in-phase waves producing regions with a higher probability of electron density and out-of-phase waves producing nodes, or regions of no electron density.\n\n\nFIGURE 5.28 (a) When in-phase waves combine, constructive interference produces a wave with greater amplitude.

The two types are illustrated in Figure 5.29. The in-phase combination produces a lower energy $\\boldsymbol{\\sigma}_{\\boldsymbol{s}}$\nmolecular orbital (read as \"sigma-s\") in which most of the electron density is directly between the nuclei. The out-of-phase addition (which can also be thought of as subtracting the wave functions) produces a higher energy $\\sigma_{s}^{*}$ molecular orbital (read as \"sigma-s-star\") molecular orbital in which there is a node between the nuclei. The asterisk signifies that the orbital is an antibonding orbital. Electrons in a $\\sigma_{S}$ orbital are attracted by both nuclei at the same time and are more stable (of lower energy) than they would be in the isolated atoms. Adding electrons to these orbitals creates a force that holds the two nuclei together, so we call these orbitals bonding orbitals. Electrons in the $\\sigma_{s}^{*}$ orbitals are located well away from the region between the two nuclei. The attractive force between the nuclei and these electrons pulls the two nuclei apart. Hence, these orbitals are called antibonding orbitals. Electrons fill the lower-energy bonding orbital before the higher-energy antibonding orbital, just as they fill lower-energy atomic orbitals before they fill higher-energy atomic orbitals.\n\n\nFIGURE 5.29 Sigma ( $\\sigma$ ) and sigma-star ( $\\sigma^{*}$ ) molecular orbitals are formed by the combination of two $s$ atomic orbitals.

When regions of opposite phase overlap, the destructive wave interference decreases electron density and creates nodes.

Computational Chemistry in Drug Design - \nWhile the descriptions of bonding described in this chapter involve many theoretical concepts, they also have many practical, real-world applications. For example, drug design is an important field that uses our understanding of chemical bonding to develop pharmaceuticals. This interdisciplinary area of study uses biology (understanding diseases and how they operate) to identify specific targets, such as a binding site that is involved in a disease pathway. By modeling the structures of the binding site and potential drugs, computational chemists can predict which structures can fit together and how effectively they will bind (see Figure 5.33). Thousands of potential candidates can be narrowed down to a few of the most promising candidates. These candidate molecules are then carefully tested to determine side effects, how effectively they can be transported through the body, and other factors. Dozens of important new pharmaceuticals have been discovered with the aid of computational chemistry, and new research projects are underway.\n\n\nFIGURE 5.33 The molecule shown, HIV-1 protease, is an important target for pharmaceutical research.

Molecular Orbital Energy Diagrams - \nThe relative energy levels of atomic and molecular orbitals are typically shown in a molecular orbital diagram (Figure 5.34). For a diatomic molecule, the atomic orbitals of one atom are shown on the left, and those of the other atom are shown on the right. Each horizontal line represents one orbital that can hold two electrons. The molecular orbitals formed by the combination of the atomic orbitals are shown in the center. Dashed lines show which of the atomic orbitals combine to form the molecular orbitals. For each pair of atomic orbitals that combine, one lower-energy (bonding) molecular orbital and one higher-energy (antibonding) orbital result. Thus we can see that combining the six $2 p$ atomic orbitals results in three bonding orbitals (one $\\sigma$ and two $\\pi$ ) and three antibonding orbitals (one $\\sigma^{*}$ and two $\\pi^{*}$ ).\n\nWe predict the distribution of electrons in these molecular orbitals by filling the orbitals in the same way that we fill atomic orbitals, by the Aufbau principle. Lower-energy orbitals fill first, electrons spread out among degenerate orbitals before pairing, and each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins (Figure 5.34). Just as we write electron configurations for atoms, we can write the molecular electronic configuration by listing the orbitals with superscripts indicating the number of electrons present. For clarity, we place parentheses around molecular orbitals with the same energy. In this case, each orbital is at a different energy, so parentheses separate each orbital. Thus we would expect a diatomic molecule or ion containing seven electrons (such as $\\mathrm{Be}_{2}{ }^{+}$) would have the molecular electron configuration $\\left(\\sigma_{1 s}\\right)^{2}\\left(\\sigma_{1 s}^{*}\\right)^{2}\\left(\\sigma_{2 s}\\right)^{2}\\left(\\sigma_{2 s}^{*}\\right)^{1}$.

Bond Order - \nThe filled molecular orbital diagram shows the number of electrons in both bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals. The net contribution of the electrons to the bond strength of a molecule is identified by determining the bond order that results from the filling of the molecular orbitals by electrons.\n\nWhen using Lewis structures to describe the distribution of electrons in molecules, we define bond order as the number of bonding pairs of electrons between two atoms. Thus a single bond has a bond order of 1 , a double bond has a bond order of 2 , and a triple bond has a bond order of 3 . We define bond order differently when we use the molecular orbital description of the distribution of electrons, but the resulting bond order is usually the same. The MO technique is more accurate and can handle cases when the Lewis structure method fails, but both methods describe the same phenomenon.\n\nIn the molecular orbital model, an electron contributes to a bonding interaction if it occupies a bonding orbital and it contributes to an antibonding interaction if it occupies an antibonding orbital. The bond order is calculated by subtracting the destabilizing (antibonding) electrons from the stabilizing (bonding) electrons. Since a bond consists of two electrons, we divide by two to get the bond order. We can determine bond order with the following equation:\n\n$$\n\\text { bond order }=\\frac{\\text { (number of bonding electrons) }- \\text { (number of antibonding electrons) }}{2}\n$$\n\nThe order of a covalent bond is a guide to its strength; a bond between two given atoms becomes stronger as the bond order increases. If the distribution of electrons in the molecular orbitals between two atoms is such that the resulting bond would have a bond order of zero, a stable bond does not form.

Bonding in Diatomic Molecules - \nWe predict valence molecular orbital electron configurations just as we predict electron configurations of atoms.

The MOs for the valence orbitals of the second period are shown in Figure 5.37. Looking at $\\mathrm{Ne}_{2}$ molecular orbitals, we see that the order is consistent with the generic diagram shown in the previous section.

Band Theory - \nWhen two identical atomic orbitals on different atoms combine, two molecular orbitals result (see Figure 5.29). The bonding orbital is lower in energy than the original atomic orbitals because the atomic orbitals are inphase in the molecular orbital. The antibonding orbital is higher in energy than the original atomic orbitals because the atomic orbitals are out-of-phase.\n\nIn a solid, similar things happen, but on a much larger scale. Remember that even in a small sample there are a huge number of atoms (typically $>10^{23}$ atoms), and therefore a huge number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. When $N$ valence atomic orbitals, all of the same energy and each containing one (1) electron, are combined, $N / 2$ (filled) bonding orbitals and $N / 2$ (empty) antibonding orbitals will result. Each bonding orbital will show an energy lowering as the atomic orbitals are mostly in-phase, but each of the bonding orbitals will be a little different and have slightly different energies. The antibonding orbitals will show an increase in energy as the atomic orbitals are mostly out-of-phase, but each of the antibonding orbitals will also be a little different and have slightly different energies. The allowed energy levels for all the bonding orbitals are so close together that they form a band, called the valence band. Likewise, all the antibonding orbitals are very close together and form a band, called the conduction band. Figure 5.39 shows the bands for three important classes of materials: insulators, semiconductors, and conductors.\n\n\nFIGURE 5.39 Molecular orbitals in solids are so closely spaced that they are described as bands. The valence band is lower in energy and the conduction band is higher in energy. The type of solid is determined by the size of the \"band gap\" between the valence and conduction bands. Only a very small amount of energy is required to move electrons from the valance band to the conduction band in a conductor, and so they conduct electricity well.

Band Theory - \nIn order to conduct electricity, electrons must move from the filled valence band to the empty conduction band where they can move throughout the solid. The size of the band gap, or the energy difference between the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band, determines how easy it is to move electrons between the bands. Only a small amount of energy is required in a conductor because the band gap is very small. This small energy difference is \"easy\" to overcome, so they are good conductors of electricity. In an insulator, the band gap is so \"large\" that very few electrons move into the conduction band; as a result, insulators are poor conductors of electricity. Semiconductors conduct electricity when \"moderate\" amounts of energy are provided to move electrons out of the valence band and into the conduction band. Semiconductors, such as silicon, are found in many electronics.\n\nSemiconductors are used in devices such as computers, smartphones, and solar cells.

Hybrid Atomic Orbitals\nWe can use hybrid orbitals, which are mathematical combinations of some or all of the valence atomic orbitals, to describe the electron density around covalently bonded atoms. These hybrid orbitals either form sigma ( $\\sigma$ ) bonds directed toward other atoms of the molecule or contain lone pairs of electrons. We can determine the type of hybridization around a central atom from the geometry of the regions of electron density about it. Two such regions imply $s p$ hybridization; three, $s p^{2}$ hybridization; four, $s p^{3}$ hybridization; five, $s p^{3} d$ hybridization; and six, $s p^{3} d^{2}$ hybridization. $\\operatorname{Pi}(\\pi)$ bonds are formed from unhybridized atomic orbitals ( $p$ or $d$ orbitals)."} {"id": 2866, "contents": "531.

Molecular Orbital Theory\nMolecular orbital (MO) theory describes the behavior of electrons in a molecule in terms of combinations of the atomic wave functions. The resulting molecular orbitals may extend over all the atoms in the molecule. Bonding molecular orbitals are formed by in-phase combinations of atomic wave functions, and electrons in these orbitals stabilize a molecule. Antibonding molecular orbitals result from out-of-phase combinations of atomic wave functions and electrons in these orbitals make a molecule less stable. Molecular orbitals located along an internuclear axis are called $\\sigma$ MOs. They can be formed from $s$ orbitals or from $p$ orbitals oriented in an end-to-end fashion. Molecular orbitals formed from $p$ orbitals oriented in a side-by-side fashion have electron density on opposite sides of the internuclear axis and are called $\\pi$ orbitals.\n\nWe can describe the electronic structure of diatomic molecules by applying molecular orbital theory to the valence electrons of the atoms. Electrons fill molecular orbitals following the same rules that apply to filling atomic orbitals; Hund's rule and the Aufbau principle tell us that lower-energy orbitals will fill first, electrons will spread out before they pair up, and each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins. Materials with unpaired electrons are paramagnetic and attracted to a magnetic field, while those with all-paired electrons are diamagnetic and repelled by a magnetic field. Correctly predicting the magnetic properties of molecules is in advantage of molecular orbital theory over Lewis structures and valence bond theory."} {"id": 2868, "contents": "532.

Since it is impractical to refill large pools with fresh water on a frequent basis, pool water is regularly treated with chemicals to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and algae. Proper pool maintenance requires regular additions of various chemical compounds in carefully measured amounts. For example, the relative amount of calcium ion, $\\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$, in the water should be maintained within certain limits to prevent eye irritation and avoid damage to the pool bed and plumbing. To maintain proper calcium levels, calcium cations are added to the water in the form of an ionic compound that also contains anions; thus, it is necessary to know both the relative amount of $\\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ in the compound and the volume of water in the pool in order to achieve the proper calcium level. Quantitative aspects of the composition of substances (such as the calcium-containing compound) and mixtures (such as the pool water) are the subject of this chapter."} {"id": 2881, "contents": "535.

This approach is perfectly acceptable when computing the formula mass of an ionic compound. Even though a sodium cation has a slightly smaller mass than a sodium atom (since it is missing an electron), this difference will be offset by the fact that a chloride anion is slightly more massive than a chloride atom (due to the extra electron). Moreover, the mass of an electron is negligibly small with respect to the mass of a typical atom. Even when calculating the mass of an isolated ion, the missing\nor additional electrons can generally be ignored, since their contribution to the overall mass is negligible, reflected only in the nonsignificant digits that will be lost when the computed mass is properly rounded.

Determination of Empirical Formulas - \nAs previously mentioned, the most common approach to determining a compound's chemical formula is to first measure the masses of its constituent elements. However, keep in mind that chemical formulas represent the relative numbers, not masses, of atoms in the substance. Therefore, any experimentally derived data involving mass must be used to derive the corresponding numbers of atoms in the compound. This is accomplished using molar masses to convert the mass of each element to a number of moles. These molar amounts are used to compute whole-number ratios that can be used to derive the empirical formula of the substance. Consider a sample of compound determined to contain 1.71 g C and 0.287 g H . The corresponding numbers of atoms (in moles) are:\n\n$$\n\\begin{aligned}\n& 1.71 \\mathrm{~g} \\mathrm{C} \\times \\frac{1 \\mathrm{~mol} \\mathrm{C}}{12.01 \\mathrm{~g} \\mathrm{C}}=0.142 \\mathrm{~mol} \\mathrm{C} \\\\\n& 0.287 \\mathrm{~g} \\mathrm{H} \\times \\frac{1 \\mathrm{~mol} \\mathrm{H}}{1.008 \\mathrm{~g} \\mathrm{H}}=0.284 \\mathrm{~mol} \\mathrm{H}\n\\end{aligned}\n$$\n\nThus, this compound may be represented by the formula $\\mathrm{C}_{0.142} \\mathrm{H}_{0.284}$.

Derivation of Molecular Formulas - \nRecall that empirical formulas are symbols representing the relative numbers of a compound's elements. Determining the absolute numbers of atoms that compose a single molecule of a covalent compound requires knowledge of both its empirical formula and its molecular mass or molar mass.

Molecular mass, for example, is often derived from the mass spectrum of the compound (see discussion of this technique in a previous chapter on atoms and molecules). Molar mass can be measured by a number of experimental methods, many of which will be introduced in later chapters of this text.\n\nMolecular formulas are derived by comparing the compound's molecular or molar mass to its empirical formula mass. As the name suggests, an empirical formula mass is the sum of the average atomic masses of all the atoms represented in an empirical formula.

Solutions - \nSolutions have previously been defined as homogeneous mixtures, meaning that the composition of the mixture (and therefore its properties) is uniform throughout its entire volume. Solutions occur frequently in nature and have also been implemented in many forms of manmade technology. A more thorough treatment of solution properties is provided in the chapter on solutions and colloids, but provided here is an introduction to some of the basic properties of solutions.\n\nThe relative amount of a given solution component is known as its concentration. Often, though not always, a solution contains one component with a concentration that is significantly greater than that of all other components. This component is called the solvent and may be viewed as the medium in which the other components are dispersed, or dissolved. Solutions in which water is the solvent are, of course, very common on our planet. A solution in which water is the solvent is called an aqueous solution.\n\nA solute is a component of a solution that is typically present at a much lower concentration than the solvent.

Dilution of Solutions - \nDilution is the process whereby the concentration of a solution is lessened by the addition of solvent. For example, a glass of iced tea becomes increasingly diluted as the ice melts. The water from the melting ice increases the volume of the solvent (water) and the overall volume of the solution (iced tea), thereby reducing the relative concentrations of the solutes that give the beverage its taste (Figure 6.10).\n\n\nFIGURE 6.10 Both solutions contain the same mass of copper nitrate. The solution on the right is more dilute because the copper nitrate is dissolved in more solvent. (credit: Mark Ott)\n\nDilution is also a common means of preparing solutions of a desired concentration. By adding solvent to a measured portion of a more concentrated stock solution, a solution of lesser concentration may be prepared.\nFor example, commercial pesticides are typically sold as solutions in which the active ingredients are far more concentrated than is appropriate for their application. Before they can be used on crops, the pesticides must be diluted. This is also a very common practice for the preparation of a number of common laboratory reagents.\n\nA simple mathematical relationship can be used to relate the volumes and concentrations of a solution before and after the dilution process.

Molarity\nSolutions are homogeneous mixtures. Many solutions contain one component, called the solvent, in which other components, called solutes, are dissolved. An aqueous solution is one for which the solvent is water. The concentration of a solution is a measure of the relative amount of solute in a given\namount of solution. Concentrations may be measured using various units, with one very useful unit being molarity, defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. The solute concentration of a solution may be decreased by adding solvent, a process referred to as dilution. The dilution equation is a simple relation between concentrations and volumes of a solution before and after dilution."} {"id": 2988, "contents": "650. Formulas - 650.2.

The engines of these rockets rely on carefully prepared solid mixtures of chemicals combined in precisely measured amounts. Igniting the mixture initiates a vigorous chemical reaction that rapidly generates large amounts of gaseous products. These gases are ejected from the rocket engine through its nozzle, providing the thrust needed to propel heavy payloads into space. Both the nature of this chemical reaction and the relationships between the amounts of the substances being consumed and produced by the reaction are critically important considerations that determine the success of the technology. This chapter will describe how to symbolize chemical reactions using chemical equations, how to classify some common chemical reactions by identifying patterns of reactivity, and how to determine the quantitative relations between the amounts of substances involved in chemical reactions-that is, the reaction stoichiometry."} {"id": 3004, "contents": "654. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Derive chemical equations from narrative descriptions of chemical reactions.\n- Write and balance chemical equations in molecular, total ionic, and net ionic formats.\n\nAn earlier chapter of this text introduced the use of element symbols to represent individual atoms. When atoms gain or lose electrons to yield ions, or combine with other atoms to form molecules, their symbols are modified or combined to generate chemical formulas that appropriately represent these species. Extending this symbolism to represent both the identities and the relative quantities of substances undergoing a chemical (or physical) change involves writing and balancing a chemical equation. Consider as an example the reaction between one methane molecule $\\left(\\mathrm{CH}_{4}\\right)$ and two diatomic oxygen molecules $\\left(\\mathrm{O}_{2}\\right)$ to produce one carbon dioxide molecule $\\left(\\mathrm{CO}_{2}\\right)$ and two water molecules $\\left(\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}\\right)$. The chemical equation representing this process is provided in the upper half of Figure 7.2, with space-filling molecular models shown in the lower half of the figure.\n\n\nFIGURE 7.2 The reaction between methane and oxygen to yield carbon dioxide and water (shown at bottom) may be represented by a chemical equation using formulas (top).\n\nThis example illustrates the fundamental aspects of any chemical equation:\n\n1. The substances undergoing reaction are called reactants, and their formulas are placed on the left side of the equation.\n2.

This ratio is satisfied if the numbers of these molecules are, respectively, 1-2-1-2, or 2-4-2-4, or 3-6-3-6, and so on (Figure 7.3).

Acid-Base Reactions - \nAn acid-base reaction is one in which a hydrogen ion, $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$, is transferred from one chemical species to another. Such reactions are of central importance to numerous natural and technological processes, ranging from the chemical transformations that take place within cells and the lakes and oceans, to the industrial-scale production of fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and other substances essential to society. The subject of acid-base chemistry, therefore, is worthy of thorough discussion, and a full chapter is devoted to this topic later in the text.\n\nFor purposes of this brief introduction, we will consider only the more common types of acid-base reactions that take place in aqueous solutions. In this context, an acid is a substance that will dissolve in water to yield hydronium ions, $\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{O}^{+}$.

Acids that completely react in this fashion are called strong acids, and HCl is one among just a handful of common acid compounds that are classified as strong (Table 7.2). A far greater number of compounds behave as weak acids and only partially react with water, leaving a large majority of dissolved molecules in their original form and generating a relatively small amount of hydronium ions. Weak acids are commonly encountered in nature, being the substances partly responsible for the tangy taste of citrus fruits, the stinging sensation of insect bites, and the unpleasant smells associated with body odor.

The most common bases are ionic compounds composed of alkali or alkaline earth metal cations (groups 1 and 2) combined with the hydroxide ion-for example, NaOH and $\\mathrm{Ca}(\\mathrm{OH})_{2}$. Unlike the acid compounds discussed previously, these compounds do not react chemically with water; instead they dissolve and dissociate, releasing hydroxide ions directly into the solution. For example, KOH and $\\mathrm{Ba}(\\mathrm{OH})_{2}$ dissolve in water and dissociate completely to produce cations ( $\\mathrm{K}^{+}$and $\\mathrm{Ba}^{2+}$, respectively) and hydroxide ions, $\\mathrm{OH}^{-}$. These bases, along with other hydroxides that completely dissociate in water, are considered strong bases.\n\nConsider as an example the dissolution of lye (sodium hydroxide) in water:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{NaOH}(s) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{Na}^{+}(a q)+\\mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q)\n$$"} {"id": 3037, "contents": "676. Acid-Base Reactions - \n$$\n\\mathrm{NaOH}(s) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{Na}^{+}(a q)+\\mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q)\n$$\n\nThis equation confirms that sodium hydroxide is a base. When dissolved in water, NaOH dissociates to yield $\\mathrm{Na}^{+}$and $\\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ions. This is also true for any other ionic compound containing hydroxide ions. Since the dissociation process is essentially complete when ionic compounds dissolve in water under typical conditions, NaOH and other ionic hydroxides are all classified as strong bases.\nUnlike ionic hydroxides, some compounds produce hydroxide ions when dissolved by chemically reacting with water molecules. In all cases, these compounds react only partially and so are classified as weak bases. These types of compounds are also abundant in nature and important commodities in various technologies. For example, global production of the weak base ammonia is typically well over 100 metric tons annually, being widely used as an agricultural fertilizer, a raw material for chemical synthesis of other compounds, and an active ingredient in household cleaners (Figure 7.7). When dissolved in water, ammonia reacts partially to yield hydroxide ions, as shown here:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{NH}_{3}(a q)+\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(l) \\rightleftharpoons \\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}(a q)+\\mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q)\n$$\n\nThis is, by definition, an acid-base reaction, in this case involving the transfer of $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$ions from water molecules to ammonia molecules.

The vegetable, such as a cucumber, is placed in a sealed jar submerged in a brine solution. The brine solution favors the growth of beneficial bacteria and suppresses the growth of harmful bacteria.

The lactic acid eventually increases the acidity of the brine to a level that kills any harmful bacteria, which require a basic environment.

Oxidation-Reduction Reactions - \nEarth's atmosphere contains about $20 \\%$ molecular oxygen, $\\mathrm{O}_{2}$, a chemically reactive gas that plays an essential role in the metabolism of aerobic organisms and in many environmental processes that shape the world. The term oxidation was originally used to describe chemical reactions involving $\\mathrm{O}_{2}$, but its meaning has evolved to refer to a broad and important reaction class known as oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions. A few examples of such reactions will be used to develop a clear picture of this classification.\n\nSome redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between reactant species to yield ionic products, such as the reaction between sodium and chlorine to yield sodium chloride:\n\n$$\n2 \\mathrm{Na}(s)+\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{NaCl}(s)\n$$\n\nIt is helpful to view the process with regard to each individual reactant, that is, to represent the fate of each reactant in the form of an equation called a half-reaction:\n\n$$\n\\begin{aligned}\n& 2 \\mathrm{Na}(s) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{Na}^{+}(s)+2 \\mathrm{e}^{-} \\\\\n& \\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g)+2 \\mathrm{e}^{-} \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(s)\n\\end{aligned}\n$$\n\nThese equations show that Na atoms lose electrons while Cl atoms (in the $\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ molecule) gain electrons, the \" s \" subscripts for the resulting ions signifying they are present in the form of a solid ionic compound. For redox reactions of this sort, the loss and gain of electrons define the complementary processes that occur:\n\n```\noxidation = loss of electrons\nreduction = gain of electrons\n```\n\nIn this reaction, then, sodium is oxidized and chlorine undergoes reduction. Viewed from a more active perspective, sodium functions as a reducing agent (reductant), since it provides electrons to (or reduces) chlorine. Likewise, chlorine functions as an oxidizing agent (oxidant), as it effectively removes electrons from (oxidizes) sodium."} {"id": 3047, "contents": "686.

To clarify the similarity of this reaction to the previous one and permit an unambiguous definition of redox reactions, a property called oxidation number has been defined. The oxidation number (or oxidation state) of an element in a compound is the charge its atoms would possess if the compound were ionic. The following guidelines are used to assign oxidation numbers to each element in a molecule or ion.\n\n1. The oxidation number of an atom in an elemental substance is zero.\n2. The oxidation number of a monatomic ion is equal to the ion's charge.\n3. Oxidation numbers for common nonmetals are usually assigned as follows:\n\n- Hydrogen: +1 when combined with nonmetals, -1 when combined with metals\n- Oxygen: - 2 in most compounds, sometimes -1 (so-called peroxides, $\\mathrm{O}_{2}{ }^{2-}$ ), very rarely $-\\frac{1}{2}$ (so-called superoxides, $\\mathrm{O}_{2}{ }^{-}$), positive values when combined with F (values vary)\n- Halogens: -1 for $F$ always, -1 for other halogens except when combined with oxygen or other halogens (positive oxidation numbers in these cases, varying values)\n\n4. The sum of oxidation numbers for all atoms in a molecule or polyatomic ion equals the charge on the molecule or ion.\n\nNote: The proper convention for reporting charge is to write the number first, followed by the sign (e.g., $2+$ ), while oxidation number is written with the reversed sequence, sign followed by number (e.g., +2 ).

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Explain the concept of stoichiometry as it pertains to chemical reactions\n- Use balanced chemical equations to derive stoichiometric factors relating amounts of reactants and products\n- Perform stoichiometric calculations involving mass, moles, and solution molarity\n\nA balanced chemical equation provides a great deal of information in a very succinct format. Chemical formulas provide the identities of the reactants and products involved in the chemical change, allowing\nclassification of the reaction. Coefficients provide the relative numbers of these chemical species, allowing a quantitative assessment of the relationships between the amounts of substances consumed and produced by the reaction. These quantitative relationships are known as the reaction's stoichiometry, a term derived from the Greek words stoicheion (meaning \"element\") and metron (meaning \"measure\"). In this module, the use of balanced chemical equations for various stoichiometric applications is explored.\n\nThe general approach to using stoichiometric relationships is similar in concept to the way people go about many common activities. Food preparation, for example, offers an appropriate comparison. A recipe for making eight pancakes calls for 1 cup pancake mix, $\\frac{3}{4}$ cup milk, and one egg. The \"equation\" representing the preparation of pancakes per this recipe is\n\n$$\n1 \\text { cup mix }+\\frac{3}{4} \\text { cup milk }+1 \\text { egg } \\longrightarrow 8 \\text { pancakes }\n$$\n\nIf two dozen pancakes are needed for a big family breakfast, the ingredient amounts must be increased proportionally according to the amounts given in the recipe. For example, the number of eggs required to make 24 pancakes is\n\n$$\n24 \\text { pancakes } \\times \\frac{1 \\mathrm{egg}}{8 \\text { pancakes- }}=3 \\mathrm{eggs}\n$$\n\nBalanced chemical equations are used in much the same fashion to determine the amount of one reactant required to react with a given amount of another reactant, or to yield a given amount of product, and so forth. The coefficients in the balanced equation are used to derive stoichiometric factors that permit computation of the desired quantity.

Airbags - \nAirbags (Figure 7.12) are a safety feature provided in most automobiles since the 1990s. The effective operation of an airbag requires that it be rapidly inflated with an appropriate amount (volume) of gas when the vehicle is involved in a collision. This requirement is satisfied in many automotive airbag systems through use of explosive chemical reactions, one common choice being the decomposition of sodium azide, $\\mathrm{NaN}_{3}$. When sensors in the vehicle detect a collision, an electrical current is passed through a carefully measured amount of $\\mathrm{NaN}_{3}$ to initiate its decomposition:\n\n$$\n2 \\mathrm{NaN}_{3}(s) \\longrightarrow 3 \\mathrm{~N}_{2}(g)+2 \\mathrm{Na}(s)\n$$\n\nThis reaction is very rapid, generating gaseous nitrogen that can deploy and fully inflate a typical airbag in a fraction of a second ( $\\sim 0.03-0.1 \\mathrm{~s}$ ).

All the exercises of the preceding module involved stoichiometric amounts of reactants.

In this scenario, the number of sandwiches prepared has been limited by the number of cheese slices, and the bread slices have been provided in excess.\n\n\nFIGURE 7.13 Sandwich making can illustrate the concepts of limiting and excess reactants.\nConsider this concept now with regard to a chemical process, the reaction of hydrogen with chlorine to yield hydrogen chloride:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)+\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{HCl}(g)\n$$\n\nThe balanced equation shows the hydrogen and chlorine react in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio. If these reactants are provided in any other amounts, one of the reactants will nearly always be entirely consumed, thus limiting the amount of product that may be generated. This substance is the limiting reactant, and the other substance is the excess reactant. Identifying the limiting and excess reactants for a given situation requires computing the molar amounts of each reactant provided and comparing them to the stoichiometric amounts represented in the balanced chemical equation. For example, imagine combining 3 moles of $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ and 2 moles of $\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$. This represents a $3: 2$ (or 1.5:1) ratio of hydrogen to chlorine present for reaction, which is greater than the stoichiometric ratio of 1:1.

Limiting Reactant - \nAn alternative approach to identifying the limiting reactant involves comparing the amount of product expected for the complete reaction of each reactant. Each reactant amount is used to separately calculate the amount of product that would be formed per the reaction's stoichiometry.

Green Chemistry and Atom Economy - \nThe purposeful design of chemical products and processes that minimize the use of environmentally hazardous substances and the generation of waste is known as green chemistry. Green chemistry is a philosophical approach that is being applied to many areas of science and technology, and its practice is summarized by guidelines known as the \"Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry\" (see details at this website (http://openstax.org/l/16greenchem)). One of the 12 principles is aimed specifically at maximizing the efficiency of processes for synthesizing chemical products. The atom economy of a process is a measure of this efficiency, defined as the percentage by mass of the final product of a synthesis relative to the masses of all the reactants used:\n\n$$\n\\text { atom economy }=\\frac{\\text { mass of product }}{\\text { mass of reactants }} \\times 100 \\%\n$$\n\nThough the definition of atom economy at first glance appears very similar to that for percent yield, be aware that this property represents a difference in the theoretical efficiencies of different chemical processes. The percent yield of a given chemical process, on the other hand, evaluates the efficiency of a process by comparing the yield of product actually obtained to the maximum yield predicted by stoichiometry.\n\nThe synthesis of the common nonprescription pain medication, ibuprofen, nicely illustrates the success of a green chemistry approach (Figure 7.15).

In the 1990 s, an alternative process was developed by the BHC Company (now BASF Corporation) that requires only three steps and has an atom economy of $\\sim 80 \\%$, nearly twice that of the original process. The BHC process generates significantly less chemical waste; uses less-hazardous and recyclable materials; and provides significant cost-savings to the manufacturer (and, subsequently, the consumer). In recognition of the positive environmental impact of the BHC process, the company received the Environmental Protection Agency's Greener Synthetic Pathways Award in 1997.\n\n(a)\n\n\n(b)"} {"id": 3098, "contents": "741.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Describe the fundamental aspects of titrations and gravimetric analysis.\n- Perform stoichiometric calculations using typical titration and gravimetric data.\n\nIn the 18th century, the strength (actually the concentration) of vinegar samples was determined by noting the amount of potassium carbonate, $\\mathrm{K}_{2} \\mathrm{CO}_{3}$, which had to be added, a little at a time, before bubbling ceased. The greater the weight of potassium carbonate added to reach the point where the bubbling ended, the more concentrated the vinegar.\n\nWe now know that the effervescence that occurred during this process was due to reaction with acetic acid, $\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}$, the compound primarily responsible for the odor and taste of vinegar. Acetic acid reacts with potassium carbonate according to the following equation:\n\n$$\n2 \\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}(a q)+\\mathrm{K}_{2} \\mathrm{CO}_{3}(s) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{~K}(a q)+\\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(l)\n$$\n\nThe bubbling was due to the production of $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$.\nThe test of vinegar with potassium carbonate is one type of quantitative analysis-the determination of the\namount or concentration of a substance in a sample. In the analysis of vinegar, the concentration of the solute (acetic acid) was determined from the amount of reactant that combined with the solute present in a known volume of the solution. In other types of chemical analyses, the amount of a substance present in a sample is determined by measuring the amount of product that results."} {"id": 3100, "contents": "743. Titration - \nThe described approach to measuring vinegar strength was an early version of the analytical technique known as titration analysis. A typical titration analysis involves the use of a buret (Figure 7.16) to make incremental additions of a solution containing a known concentration of some substance (the titrant) to a sample solution containing the substance whose concentration is to be measured (the analyte). The titrant and analyte undergo a chemical reaction of known stoichiometry, and so measuring the volume of titrant solution required for complete reaction with the analyte (the equivalence point of the titration) allows calculation of the analyte concentration. The equivalence point of a titration may be detected visually if a distinct change in the appearance of the sample solution accompanies the completion of the reaction. The halt of bubble formation in the classic vinegar analysis is one such example, though, more commonly, special dyes called indicators are added to the sample solutions to impart a change in color at or very near the equivalence point of the titration. Equivalence points may also be detected by measuring some solution property that changes in a predictable way during the course of the titration. Regardless of the approach taken to detect a titration's equivalence point, the volume of titrant actually measured is called the end point. Properly designed titration methods typically ensure that the difference between the equivalence and end points is negligible. Though any type of chemical reaction may serve as the basis for a titration analysis, the three described in this chapter (precipitation, acid-base, and redox) are most common. Additional details regarding titration analysis are provided in the chapter on acid-base equilibria.\n\n\nFIGURE 7.16 (a) A student fills a buret in preparation for a titration analysis.

Gravimetric Analysis - \nA gravimetric analysis is one in which a sample is subjected to some treatment that causes a change in the physical state of the analyte that permits its separation from the other components of the sample. Mass measurements of the sample, the isolated analyte, or some other component of the analysis system, used along with the known stoichiometry of the compounds involved, permit calculation of the analyte concentration. Gravimetric methods were the first techniques used for quantitative chemical analysis, and they remain important tools in the modern chemistry laboratory.\n\nThe required change of state in a gravimetric analysis may be achieved by various physical and chemical processes. For example, the moisture (water) content of a sample is routinely determined by measuring the mass of a sample before and after it is subjected to a controlled heating process that evaporates the water. Also common are gravimetric techniques in which the analyte is subjected to a precipitation reaction of the sort described earlier in this chapter. The precipitate is typically isolated from the reaction mixture by filtration, carefully dried, and then weighed (Figure 7.17).

Answer: - \n23.76\\%\n\nThe elemental composition of hydrocarbons and related compounds may be determined via a gravimetric method known as combustion analysis. In a combustion analysis, a weighed sample of the compound is heated to a high temperature under a stream of oxygen gas, resulting in its complete combustion to yield gaseous products of known identities. The complete combustion of hydrocarbons, for example, will yield carbon dioxide and water as the only products. The gaseous combustion products are swept through separate, preweighed collection devices containing compounds that selectively absorb each product (Figure 7.18). The mass increase of each device corresponds to the mass of the absorbed product and may be used in an appropriate stoichiometric calculation to derive the mass of the relevant element.\n\n\nFIGURE 7.18 This schematic diagram illustrates the basic components of a combustion analysis device for determining the carbon and hydrogen content of a sample."} {"id": 3111, "contents": "755.

Although we do not normally notice atmospheric pressure, we are sensitive to pressure changes-for example, when your ears \"pop\" during takeoff and landing while flying, or when you dive underwater. Gas pressure is caused by the force exerted by gas molecules colliding with the surfaces of objects (Figure 8.2). Although the force of each collision is very small, any surface of appreciable area experiences a large number of collisions in a short time, which can result in a high pressure. In fact, normal air pressure is strong enough to crush a metal container when not balanced by equal pressure from inside the container.\n\n\nFIGURE 8.2 The atmosphere above us exerts a large pressure on objects at the surface of the earth, roughly equal to the weight of a bowling ball pressing on an area the size of a human thumbnail."} {"id": 3163, "contents": "766.

At sea level, this pressure is roughly the same as that exerted by a full-grown African elephant standing on a doormat, or a typical bowling ball resting on your thumbnail. These may seem like huge amounts, and they are, but life on earth has evolved under such atmospheric pressure. If you actually perch a bowling ball on your thumbnail, the pressure experienced is twice the usual pressure, and the sensation is unpleasant.\n\nIn general, pressure is defined as the force exerted on a given area: $P=\\frac{F}{A}$. Note that pressure is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to area. Thus, pressure can be increased either by increasing the amount of force or by decreasing the area over which it is applied; pressure can be decreased by decreasing the force or increasing the area.\n\nLet's apply this concept to determine which exerts a greater pressure in Figure 8.3-the elephant or the figure skater? A large African elephant can weigh 7 tons, supported on four feet, each with a diameter of about 1.5 ft\n(footprint area of $250 \\mathrm{in}^{2}$ ), so the pressure exerted by each foot is about $14 \\mathrm{lb} / \\mathrm{in}^{2}$ :\n\n$$\n\\text { pressure per elephant foot }=14,000 \\frac{\\mathrm{lb}}{\\text { elephant }} \\times \\frac{1 \\text { elephant }}{4 \\text { feet }} \\times \\frac{1 \\text { foot }}{250 \\mathrm{in}^{2}}=14 \\mathrm{lb} / \\mathrm{in}^{2}\n$$"} {"id": 3164, "contents": "766.

On the other hand, if the skater removes their skates and stands with bare feet (or regular footwear) on the ice, the larger area over which their weight is applied greatly reduces the pressure exerted:\n\n$$\n\\text { pressure per human foot }=120 \\frac{\\mathrm{lb}}{\\text { skater }} \\times \\frac{1 \\text { skater }}{2 \\text { feet }} \\times \\frac{1 \\text { foot }}{30 \\mathrm{in}^{2}}=2 \\mathrm{lb} / \\mathrm{in}^{2}\n$$\n\n\n\nFIGURE 8.3 Although (a) an elephant's weight is large, creating a very large force on the ground, (b) the figure skater exerts a much higher pressure on the ice due to the small surface area of the skates.

Answer: - \n0.974 atm; $740 \\mathrm{~mm} \\mathrm{Hg} ; 98.7 \\mathrm{kPa} ; 0.987$ bar\n\nWe can measure atmospheric pressure, the force exerted by the atmosphere on the earth's surface, with a barometer (Figure 8.4). A barometer is a glass tube that is closed at one end, filled with a nonvolatile liquid such as mercury, and then inverted and immersed in a container of that liquid. The atmosphere exerts pressure on the liquid outside the tube, the column of liquid exerts pressure inside the tube, and the pressure at the liquid surface is the same inside and outside the tube. The height of the liquid in the tube is therefore\nproportional to the pressure exerted by the atmosphere.\n\n\nFIGURE 8.4 In a barometer, the height, $h$, of the column of liquid is used as a measurement of the air pressure. Using very dense liquid mercury (left) permits the construction of reasonably sized barometers, whereas using water (right) would require a barometer more than 30 feet tall.\n\nIf the liquid is water, normal atmospheric pressure will support a column of water over 10 meters high, which is rather inconvenient for making (and reading) a barometer. Because mercury ( Hg ) is about 13.6-times denser than water, a mercury barometer only needs to be $\\frac{1}{13.6}$ as tall as a water barometer-a more suitable size. Standard atmospheric pressure of 1 atm at sea level ( $101,325 \\mathrm{~Pa}$ ) corresponds to a column of mercury that is about 760 mm (29.92 in.) high. The torr was originally intended to be a unit equal to one millimeter of mercury, but it no longer corresponds exactly. The pressure exerted by a fluid due to gravity is known as hydrostatic pressure, $p$ :\n\n$$\np=h \\rho g\n$$\n\nwhere $h$ is the height of the fluid, $\\rho$ is the density of the fluid, and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity."} {"id": 3171, "contents": "773.

Answer: - \n10.3 m\n\nA manometer is a device similar to a barometer that can be used to measure the pressure of a gas trapped in a container. A closed-end manometer is a U-shaped tube with one closed arm, one arm that connects to the gas to be measured, and a nonvolatile liquid (usually mercury) in between. As with a barometer, the distance between the liquid levels in the two arms of the tube ( $h$ in the diagram) is proportional to the pressure of the gas in the container. An open-end manometer (Figure 8.5) is the same as a closed-end manometer, but one of its arms is open to the atmosphere. In this case, the distance between the liquid levels corresponds to the difference in pressure between the gas in the container and the atmosphere.\n\n\nFIGURE 8.5 A manometer can be used to measure the pressure of a gas.

Measuring Blood Pressure - \nBlood pressure is measured using a device called a sphygmomanometer (Greek sphygmos = \"pulse\"). It consists of an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, a manometer to measure the pressure, and a method of determining when blood flow begins and when it becomes impeded (Figure 8.6). Since its invention in 1881, it has been an essential medical device. There are many types of sphygmomanometers: manual ones that require a stethoscope and are used by medical professionals; mercury ones, used when the most accuracy is required; less accurate mechanical ones; and digital ones that can be used with little training but that have limitations. When using a sphygmomanometer, the cuff is placed around the upper arm and inflated until blood flow is completely blocked, then slowly released. As the heart beats, blood forced through the arteries causes a rise in pressure. This rise in pressure at which blood flow begins is the systolic pressure-the peak pressure in the cardiac cycle. When the cuff's pressure equals the arterial systolic pressure, blood flows past the cuff, creating audible sounds that can be heard using a stethoscope. This is followed by a decrease in pressure as the heart's ventricles prepare for another beat. As cuff pressure continues to decrease, eventually sound is no longer heard; this is the diastolic pressure-the lowest pressure (resting phase) in the cardiac cycle. Blood pressure units from a sphygmomanometer are in terms of millimeters of mercury ( mm Hg ).\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\nFIGURE 8.6 (a) A medical technician prepares to measure a patient's blood pressure with a sphygmomanometer.

Meteorology, Climatology, and Atmospheric Science - \nThroughout the ages, people have observed clouds, winds, and precipitation, trying to discern patterns and make predictions: when it is best to plant and harvest; whether it is safe to set out on a sea voyage; and much more. We now face complex weather and atmosphere-related challenges that will have a major impact on our civilization and the ecosystem. Several different scientific disciplines use chemical principles to help us better understand weather, the atmosphere, and climate. These are meteorology, climatology, and atmospheric science. Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere, atmospheric phenomena, and atmospheric effects on earth's weather. Meteorologists seek to understand and predict the weather in the short term, which can save lives and benefit the economy. Weather forecasts (Figure 8.7) are the result of thousands of measurements of air pressure, temperature, and the like, which are compiled, modeled, and analyzed in weather centers worldwide.\n\n\nFIGURE 8.7 Meteorologists use weather maps to describe and predict weather. Regions of high (H) and low (L) pressure have large effects on weather conditions. The gray lines represent locations of constant pressure known as isobars. (credit: modification of work by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)\n\nIn terms of weather, low-pressure systems occur when the earth's surface atmospheric pressure is lower than the surrounding environment: Moist air rises and condenses, producing clouds. Movement of moisture and air within various weather fronts instigates most weather events.\n\nThe atmosphere is the gaseous layer that surrounds a planet. Earth's atmosphere, which is roughly 100-125 km thick, consists of roughly $78.1 \\%$ nitrogen and $21.0 \\%$ oxygen, and can be subdivided further into the regions shown in Figure 8.8: the exosphere (furthest from earth, $>700 \\mathrm{~km}$ above sea level), the thermosphere ( $80-700 \\mathrm{~km}$ ), the mesosphere ( $50-80 \\mathrm{~km}$ ), the stratosphere (second lowest level of our atmosphere, $12-50 \\mathrm{~km}$ above sea level), and the troposphere (up to 12 km above sea level, roughly $80 \\%$ of the earth's atmosphere by mass and the layer where most weather events originate).

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Identify the mathematical relationships between the various properties of gases\n- Use the ideal gas law, and related gas laws, to compute the values of various gas properties under specified conditions\n\nDuring the seventeenth and especially eighteenth centuries, driven both by a desire to understand nature and a quest to make balloons in which they could fly (Figure 8.9), a number of scientists established the relationships between the macroscopic physical properties of gases, that is, pressure, volume, temperature, and amount of gas. Although their measurements were not precise by today's standards, they were able to determine the mathematical relationships between pairs of these variables (e.g., pressure and temperature, pressure and volume) that hold for an ideal gas-a hypothetical construct that real gases approximate under certain conditions. Eventually, these individual laws were combined into a single equation-the ideal gas law-that relates gas quantities for gases and is quite accurate for low pressures and moderate temperatures. We will consider the key developments in individual relationships (for pedagogical reasons not quite in historical order), then put them together in the ideal gas law.\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\n(c)\n\nFIGURE 8.9 In 1783, the first (a) hydrogen-filled balloon flight, (b) manned hot air balloon flight, and (c) manned hydrogen-filled balloon flight occurred.

Pressure and Temperature: Amontons's Law - \nImagine filling a rigid container attached to a pressure gauge with gas and then sealing the container so that no gas may escape. If the container is cooled, the gas inside likewise gets colder and its pressure is observed to decrease. Since the container is rigid and tightly sealed, both the volume and number of moles of gas remain constant. If we heat the sphere, the gas inside gets hotter (Figure 8.10) and the pressure increases.\n\n\nFIGURE 8.10 The effect of temperature on gas pressure: When the hot plate is off, the pressure of the gas in the sphere is relatively low. As the gas is heated, the pressure of the gas in the sphere increases.\n\nThis relationship between temperature and pressure is observed for any sample of gas confined to a constant volume. An example of experimental pressure-temperature data is shown for a sample of air under these conditions in Figure 8.11. We find that temperature and pressure are linearly related, and if the temperature is on the kelvin scale, then $P$ and $T$ are directly proportional (again, when volume and moles of gas are held constant); if the temperature on the kelvin scale increases by a certain factor, the gas pressure increases by the same factor.\n\n| Temperature

Pressure and Temperature: Amontons's Law - \nGuillaume Amontons was the first to empirically establish the relationship between the pressure and the temperature of a gas ( $\\sim 1700$ ), and Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac determined the relationship more precisely (~1800). Because of this, the $P$ - $T$ relationship for gases is known as either Amontons's law or Gay-Lussac's law. Under either name, it states that the pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its temperature on the kelvin scale when the volume is held constant. Mathematically, this can be written:\n\n$$\nP \\propto T \\text { or } P=\\text { constant } \\times T \\text { or } P=k \\times T\n$$\n\nwhere $\\alpha$ means \"is proportional to,\" and $k$ is a proportionality constant that depends on the identity, amount, and volume of the gas.\n\nFor a confined, constant volume of gas, the ratio $\\frac{P}{T}$ is therefore constant (i.e., $\\frac{P}{T}=k$ ). If the gas is initially in \"Condition 1\" (with $P=P_{1}$ and $T=T_{1}$ ), and then changes to \"Condition 2\" (with $P=P_{2}$ and $T=T_{2}$ ), we have that $\\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}}=k$ and $\\frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}=k$, which reduces to $\\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}}=\\frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}$.

Note that temperatures must be on the kelvin scale for any gas law calculations ( 0 on the kelvin scale and the lowest possible temperature is called absolute zero).

Breathing and Boyle's Law - \nWhat do you do about 20 times per minute for your whole life, without break, and often without even being aware of it? The answer, of course, is respiration, or breathing. How does it work? It turns out that the gas laws apply here. Your lungs take in gas that your body needs (oxygen) and get rid of waste gas (carbon dioxide). Lungs are made of spongy, stretchy tissue that expands and contracts while you breathe. When you inhale, your diaphragm and intercostal muscles (the muscles between your ribs) contract, expanding your chest cavity and making your lung volume larger. The increase in volume leads to a decrease in pressure (Boyle's law). This causes air to flow into the lungs (from high pressure to low pressure). When you exhale, the process reverses: Your diaphragm and rib muscles relax, your chest cavity contracts, and your lung volume decreases, causing the pressure to increase (Boyle's law again), and air flows out of the lungs (from high pressure to low pressure). You then breathe in and out again, and again, repeating this Boyle's law cycle for the rest of your life (Figure 8.15).\n\n\nFIGURE 8.15 Breathing occurs because expanding and contracting lung volume creates small pressure differences between your lungs and your surroundings, causing air to be drawn into and forced out of your lungs."} {"id": 3210, "contents": "817.

The Interdependence between Ocean Depth and Pressure in Scuba Diving - \nPressure increases with ocean depth, and the pressure changes most rapidly as divers reach the surface. The pressure a diver experiences is the sum of all pressures above the diver (from the water and the air). Most pressure measurements are given in units of atmospheres, expressed as \"atmospheres absolute\" or ATA in the diving community: Every 33 feet of salt water represents 1 ATA of pressure in addition to 1 ATA of pressure from the atmosphere at sea level. As a diver descends, the increase in pressure causes the body's air pockets in the ears and lungs to compress; on the ascent, the decrease in pressure causes these air pockets to expand, potentially rupturing eardrums or bursting the lungs. Divers must therefore undergo equalization by adding air to body airspaces on the descent by breathing normally and adding air to the mask by breathing out of the nose or adding air to the ears and sinuses by equalization techniques; the corollary is also true on ascent, divers must release air from the body to maintain equalization. Buoyancy, or the ability to control whether a diver sinks or floats, is controlled by the buoyancy compensator (BCD). If a diver is ascending, the air in their BCD expands because of lower pressure according to Boyle's law (decreasing the pressure of gases increases the volume). The expanding air increases the buoyancy of the diver, and they begin to ascend. The diver must vent air from the BCD or risk an uncontrolled ascent that could rupture the lungs. In descending, the increased pressure causes the air in the BCD to compress and the diver sinks much more quickly; the diver must add air to the BCD or risk an uncontrolled descent, facing much higher pressures near the ocean floor. The pressure also impacts how long a diver can stay underwater before ascending. The deeper a diver dives, the more compressed the air that is breathed because of increased pressure: If a diver dives 33 feet, the pressure is 2 ATA and the air would be compressed to one-half of its original volume. The diver uses up available air twice as fast as at the surface."} {"id": 3223, "contents": "831.

French nobleman Antoine Lavoisier, widely regarded as the \"father of modern chemistry,\" changed chemistry from a qualitative to a quantitative science through his work with gases. He discovered the law of conservation of matter, discovered the role of oxygen in combustion reactions, determined the composition of air, explained respiration in terms of chemical reactions, and more. He was a casualty of the French Revolution, guillotined in 1794. Of his death, mathematician and astronomer JosephLouis Lagrange said, \"It took the mob only a moment to remove his head; a century will not suffice to reproduce it.\" ${ }^{2}$ Much of the knowledge we do have about Lavoisier's contributions is due to his wife, MarieAnne Paulze Lavoisier, who worked with him in his lab. A trained artist fluent in several languages, she created detailed illustrations of the equipment in his lab, and translated texts from foreign scientists to complement his knowledge. After his execution, she was instrumental in publishing Lavoisier's major treatise, which unified many concepts of chemistry and laid the groundwork for significant further study.\n\nAs described in an earlier chapter of this text, we can turn to chemical stoichiometry for answers to many of the questions that ask \"How much?\" The essential property involved in such use of stoichiometry is the amount of substance, typically measured in moles ( $n$ ). For gases, molar amount can be derived from convenient experimental measurements of pressure, temperature, and volume. Therefore, these measurements are useful in assessing the stoichiometry of pure gases, gas mixtures, and chemical reactions involving gases.

Collection of Gases over Water - \nA simple way to collect gases that do not react with water is to capture them in a bottle that has been filled with water and inverted into a dish filled with water. The pressure of the gas inside the bottle can be made equal to the air pressure outside by raising or lowering the bottle. When the water level is the same both inside and outside the bottle (Figure 8.21), the pressure of the gas is equal to the atmospheric pressure, which can be measured with a barometer.\n\n\nFIGURE 8.21 When a reaction produces a gas that is collected above water, the trapped gas is a mixture of the gas produced by the reaction and water vapor. If the collection flask is appropriately positioned to equalize the water levels both within and outside the flask, the pressure of the trapped gas mixture will equal the atmospheric pressure outside the flask (see the earlier discussion of manometers).\n\nHowever, there is another factor we must consider when we measure the pressure of the gas by this method. Water evaporates and there is always gaseous water (water vapor) above a sample of liquid water. As a gas is collected over water, it becomes saturated with water vapor and the total pressure of the mixture equals the partial pressure of the gas plus the partial pressure of the water vapor. The pressure of the pure gas is therefore equal to the total pressure minus the pressure of the water vapor-this is referred to as the \"dry\" gas pressure, that is, the pressure of the gas only, without water vapor. The vapor pressure of water, which is the pressure exerted by water vapor in equilibrium with liquid water in a closed container, depends on the temperature (Figure 8.22); more detailed information on the temperature dependence of water vapor can be found in Table 8.2, and vapor pressure will be discussed in more detail in the chapter on liquids.\n\n\nFIGURE 8.22 This graph shows the vapor pressure of water at sea level as a function of temperature.\n\nVapor Pressure of Ice and Water in Various Temperatures at Sea Level"} {"id": 3249, "contents": "859.

Thus, the ratios of volumes of gases involved in a chemical reaction are given by the coefficients in the equation for the reaction, provided that the gas volumes are measured at the same temperature and pressure.\n\nWe can extend Avogadro's law (that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of the gas) to chemical reactions with gases: Gases combine, or react, in definite and simple proportions by volume, provided that all gas volumes are measured at the same temperature and pressure. For example, since nitrogen and hydrogen gases react to produce ammonia gas according to $\\mathrm{N}_{2}(g)+3 \\mathrm{H}_{2}(g) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)$, a given volume of nitrogen gas reacts with three times that volume of hydrogen gas to produce two times that volume of ammonia gas, if pressure and temperature remain constant.\n\nThe explanation for this is illustrated in Figure 8.23.

Greenhouse Gases and Climate Change - \nThe thin skin of our atmosphere keeps the earth from being an ice planet and makes it habitable. In fact, this is due to less than $0.5 \\%$ of the air molecules. Of the energy from the sun that reaches the earth, almost $\\frac{1}{3}$ is reflected back into space, with the rest absorbed by the atmosphere and the surface of the earth. Some of the energy that the earth absorbs is re-emitted as infrared (IR) radiation, a portion of which passes back out through the atmosphere into space. Most of this IR radiation, however, is absorbed by certain atmospheric gases, effectively trapping heat within the atmosphere in a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect. This effect maintains global temperatures within the range needed to sustain life on earth. Without our atmosphere, the earth's average temperature would be lower by more than $30^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ (nearly $60^{\\circ} \\mathrm{F}$ ). The major greenhouse gases (GHGs) are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and ozone.

Although gaseous molecules travel at tremendous speeds (hundreds of meters per second), they collide with other gaseous molecules and travel in many different directions before reaching the desired target. At room temperature, a gaseous molecule will experience billions of collisions per second. The mean free path is the average distance a molecule travels between collisions. The mean free path increases with decreasing pressure; in general, the mean free path for a gaseous molecule will be hundreds of times the diameter of the molecule\n\nIn general, we know that when a sample of gas is introduced to one part of a closed container, its molecules very quickly disperse throughout the container; this process by which molecules disperse in space in response to differences in concentration is called diffusion (shown in Figure 8.27). The gaseous atoms or molecules are, of course, unaware of any concentration gradient, they simply move randomly-regions of higher concentration have more particles than regions of lower concentrations, and so a net movement of species from high to low concentration areas takes place. In a closed environment, diffusion will ultimately result in equal concentrations of gas throughout, as depicted in Figure 8.27. The gaseous atoms and molecules continue to move, but since their concentrations are the same in both bulbs, the rates of transfer between the bulbs are equal (no net transfer of molecules occurs).\n\n\nFIGURE 8.27 (a) Two gases, $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$ and $\\mathrm{O}_{2}$, are initially separated.

Note also that the time required for diffusion to occur is inversely proportional to the rate of diffusion, as shown in the rate of diffusion equation.\n\nA process involving movement of gaseous species similar to diffusion is effusion, the escape of gas molecules through a tiny hole such as a pinhole in a balloon into a vacuum (Figure 8.28).

Nuclear reactors require fuel that is $2-5 \\%{ }^{235} \\mathrm{U}$, and nuclear bombs need even higher concentrations. One way to enrich uranium to the desired levels is to take advantage of Graham's law. In a gaseous diffusion enrichment plant, uranium hexafluoride ( $\\mathrm{UF}_{6}$, the only uranium compound that is volatile enough to work) is slowly pumped through large cylindrical vessels called diffusers, which contain porous barriers with microscopic openings. The process is one of diffusion because the other side of the barrier is not evacuated.

The Kinetic-Molecular Theory\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n\n- State the postulates of the kinetic-molecular theory\n- Use this theory's postulates to explain the gas laws\n\nThe gas laws that we have seen to this point, as well as the ideal gas equation, are empirical, that is, they have been derived from experimental observations. The mathematical forms of these laws closely describe the macroscopic behavior of most gases at pressures less than about 1 or 2 atm . Although the gas laws describe relationships that have been verified by many experiments, they do not tell us why gases follow these relationships.\n\nThe kinetic molecular theory (KMT) is a simple microscopic model that effectively explains the gas laws described in previous modules of this chapter. This theory is based on the following five postulates described here. (Note: The term \"molecule\" will be used to refer to the individual chemical species that compose the gas, although some gases are composed of atomic species, for example, the noble gases.)\n\n1. Gases are composed of molecules that are in continuous motion, travelling in straight lines and changing direction only when they collide with other molecules or with the walls of a container.\n2. The molecules composing the gas are negligibly small compared to the distances between them.\n3. The pressure exerted by a gas in a container results from collisions between the gas molecules and the container walls.\n4. Gas molecules exert no attractive or repulsive forces on each other or the container walls; therefore, their collisions are elastic (do not involve a loss of energy).\n5. The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to the kelvin temperature of the gas.\n\nThe test of the KMT and its postulates is its ability to explain and describe the behavior of a gas. The various gas laws can be derived from the assumptions of the KMT, which have led chemists to believe that the assumptions of the theory accurately represent the properties of gas molecules. We will first look at the individual gas laws (Boyle's, Charles's, Amontons's, Avogadro's, and Dalton's laws) conceptually to see how the KMT explains them. Then, we will more carefully consider the relationships between molecular masses, speeds, and kinetic energies with temperature, and explain Graham's law."} {"id": 3291, "contents": "905. The Kinetic-Molecular Theory Explains the Behavior of Gases, Part I - \nRecalling that gas pressure is exerted by rapidly moving gas molecules and depends directly on the number of molecules hitting a unit area of the wall per unit of time, we see that the KMT conceptually explains the behavior of a gas as follows:\n\n- Amontons's law. If the temperature is increased, the average speed and kinetic energy of the gas molecules increase. If the volume is held constant, the increased speed of the gas molecules results in more frequent and more forceful collisions with the walls of the container, therefore increasing the pressure (Figure 8.31).\n- Charles's law. If the temperature of a gas is increased, a constant pressure may be maintained only if the volume occupied by the gas increases. This will result in greater average distances traveled by the molecules to reach the container walls, as well as increased wall surface area. These conditions will decrease the both the frequency of molecule-wall collisions and the number of collisions per unit area, the combined effects of which balance the effect of increased collision forces due to the greater kinetic energy at the higher temperature.\n- Boyle's law. If the gas volume volume of a given amount of gas at a given temperature is decreased (that is, if the gas is compressed), the molecules will be exposed to a decreased container wall area. Collisions with\nthe container wall will therefore occur more frequently and the pressure exerted by the gas will increase (Figure 8.31).\n- Avogadro's law. At constant pressure and temperature, the frequency and force of molecule-wall collisions are constant. Under such conditions, increasing the number of gaseous molecules will require a proportional increase in the container volume in order to yield a decrease in the number of collisions per unit area to compensate for the increased frequency of collisions (Figure 8.31).\n- Dalton's Law. Because of the large distances between them, the molecules of one gas in a mixture bombard the container walls with the same frequency whether other gases are present or not, and the total pressure of a gas mixture equals the sum of the (partial) pressures of the individual gases.\n\n\nFIGURE 8.31 (a) When gas temperature increases, gas pressure increases due to increased force and frequency of molecular collisions. (b) When volume decreases, gas pressure increases due to increased frequency of molecular collisions. (c) When the amount of gas increases at a constant pressure, volume increases to yield a constant number of collisions per unit wall area per unit time."} {"id": 3292, "contents": "906. molecular speeds and Kinetic Energy - \nThe previous discussion showed that the KMT qualitatively explains the behaviors described by the various gas laws. The postulates of this theory may be applied in a more quantitative fashion to derive these individual laws. To do this, we must first look at speeds and kinetic energies of gas molecules, and the temperature of a gas sample.\n\nIn a gas sample, individual molecules have widely varying speeds; however, because of the vast number of molecules and collisions involved, the molecular speed distribution and average speed are constant. This molecular speed distribution is known as a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, and it depicts the relative numbers of molecules in a bulk sample of gas that possesses a given speed (Figure 8.32).\n\n\nFIGURE 8.32 The molecular speed distribution for oxygen gas at 300 K is shown here. Very few molecules move at either very low or very high speeds. The number of molecules with intermediate speeds increases rapidly up to a maximum, which is the most probable speed, then drops off rapidly. Note that the most probable speed, $v_{p}$, is a little less than $400 \\mathrm{~m} / \\mathrm{s}$, while the root mean square speed, $u_{\\mathrm{rms}}$, is closer to $500 \\mathrm{~m} / \\mathrm{s}$.\n\nThe kinetic energy (KE) of a particle of mass ( $m$ ) and speed $(u)$ is given by:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{KE}=\\frac{1}{2} m u^{2}\n$$\n\nExpressing mass in kilograms and speed in meters per second will yield energy values in units of joules ( $\\mathrm{J}=\\mathrm{kg}$ $\\mathrm{m}^{2} \\mathrm{~s}^{-2}$ ).

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Describe the physical factors that lead to deviations from ideal gas behavior\n- Explain how these factors are represented in the van der Waals equation\n- Define compressibility (Z) and describe how its variation with pressure reflects non-ideal behavior\n- Quantify non-ideal behavior by comparing computations of gas properties using the ideal gas law and the van der Waals equation\n\nThus far, the ideal gas law, $P V=n R T$, has been applied to a variety of different types of problems, ranging from\nreaction stoichiometry and empirical and molecular formula problems to determining the density and molar mass of a gas. As mentioned in the previous modules of this chapter, however, the behavior of a gas is often non-ideal, meaning that the observed relationships between its pressure, volume, and temperature are not accurately described by the gas laws. In this section, the reasons for these deviations from ideal gas behavior are considered.\n\nOne way in which the accuracy of $P V=n R T$ can be judged is by comparing the actual volume of 1 mole of gas (its molar volume, $V_{\\mathrm{m}}$ ) to the molar volume of an ideal gas at the same temperature and pressure. This ratio is called the compressibility factor ( $\\mathbf{Z}$ ) with:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{Z}=\\frac{\\text { molar volume of gas at same } T \\text { and } P}{\\text { molar volume of ideal gas at same } T \\text { and } P}=\\left(\\frac{P V_{m}}{R T}\\right)_{\\text {measured }}\n$$\n\nIdeal gas behavior is therefore indicated when this ratio is equal to 1 , and any deviation from 1 is an indication of non-ideal behavior. Figure 8.35 shows plots of Z over a large pressure range for several common gases.\n\n\nFIGURE 8.35 A graph of the compressibility factor $(Z)$ vs. pressure shows that gases can exhibit significant deviations from the behavior predicted by the ideal gas law.\n\nAs is apparent from Figure 8.35, the ideal gas law does not describe gas behavior well at relatively high pressures. To determine why this is, consider the differences between real gas properties and what is expected of a hypothetical ideal gas."} {"id": 3300, "contents": "913. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nAs is apparent from Figure 8.35, the ideal gas law does not describe gas behavior well at relatively high pressures. To determine why this is, consider the differences between real gas properties and what is expected of a hypothetical ideal gas.\n\nParticles of a hypothetical ideal gas have no significant volume and do not attract or repel each other. In general, real gases approximate this behavior at relatively low pressures and high temperatures. However, at high pressures, the molecules of a gas are crowded closer together, and the amount of empty space between the molecules is reduced. At these higher pressures, the volume of the gas molecules themselves becomes appreciable relative to the total volume occupied by the gas. The gas therefore becomes less compressible at these high pressures, and although its volume continues to decrease with increasing pressure, this decrease is not proportional as predicted by Boyle's law.\n\nAt relatively low pressures, gas molecules have practically no attraction for one another because they are (on average) so far apart, and they behave almost like particles of an ideal gas. At higher pressures, however, the force of attraction is also no longer insignificant. This force pulls the molecules a little closer together, slightly decreasing the pressure (if the volume is constant) or decreasing the volume (at constant pressure) (Figure 8.36). This change is more pronounced at low temperatures because the molecules have lower KE relative to the attractive forces, and so they are less effective in overcoming these attractions after colliding with one another.\n\n\nFIGURE 8.36 (a) Attractions between gas molecules serve to decrease the gas volume at constant pressure compared to an ideal gas whose molecules experience no attractive forces. (b) These attractive forces will decrease the force of collisions between the molecules and container walls, therefore reducing the pressure exerted at constant volume compared to an ideal gas.\n\nThere are several different equations that better approximate gas behavior than does the ideal gas law. The first, and simplest, of these was developed by the Dutch scientist Johannes van der Waals in 1879. The van der Waals equation improves upon the ideal gas law by adding two terms: one to account for the volume of the gas molecules and another for the attractive forces between them.\n\n$$\nP V=n R T \\longrightarrow\\left(P+\\frac{a n^{2}}{V^{2}}\\right)(V-n b)=n R T\n$$"} {"id": 3301, "contents": "913.

The \"correction\" to the pressure term in the ideal gas law is $\\frac{n^{2} a}{V^{2}}$, and the \"correction\" to the volume is $n b$. Note that when $V$ is relatively large and $n$ is relatively small, both of these correction terms become negligible, and the van der Waals equation reduces to the ideal gas law, $P V=n R T$. Such a condition corresponds to a gas in which a relatively low number of molecules is occupying a relatively large volume, that is, a gas at a relatively low pressure.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nTABLE 8.3\n\nAt low pressures, the correction for intermolecular attraction, $a$, is more important than the one for molecular volume, $b$. At high pressures and small volumes, the correction for the volume of the molecules becomes important because the molecules themselves are incompressible and constitute an appreciable fraction of the total volume. At some intermediate pressure, the two corrections have opposing influences and the gas appears to follow the relationship given by $P V=n R T$ over a small range of pressures. This behavior is reflected by the \"dips\" in several of the compressibility curves shown in Figure 8.35. The attractive force between molecules initially makes the gas more compressible than an ideal gas, as pressure is raised ( Z decreases with increasing $P$ ). At very high pressures, the gas becomes less compressible ( Z increases with $P$ ), as the gas molecules begin to occupy an increasingly significant fraction of the total gas volume.\n\nStrictly speaking, the ideal gas equation functions well when intermolecular attractions between gas molecules are negligible and the gas molecules themselves do not occupy an appreciable part of the whole volume.

The pressure of a gas may be expressed in the SI unit of pascal or kilopascal, as well as in many other units including torr, atmosphere, and bar. Atmospheric pressure is measured using a barometer; other gas pressures can be measured using one of several types of manometers."} {"id": 3311, "contents": "921. Summary - 921.2. Relating Pressure, Volume, Amount, and Temperature: The Ideal Gas Law\nThe behavior of gases can be described by several laws based on experimental observations of their properties. The pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, provided that the volume does not change (Amontons's law). The volume of a given gas sample is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure (Charles's law). The volume of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature is held constant (Boyle's law). Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, equal volumes of all gases contain the same number of molecules (Avogadro's law).\n\nThe equations describing these laws are special cases of the ideal gas law, $P V=n R T$, where $P$ is the pressure of the gas, $V$ is its volume, $n$ is the number of moles of the gas, $T$ is its kelvin temperature, and $R$ is the ideal (universal) gas constant."} {"id": 3312, "contents": "921.

Effusion and Diffusion of Gases\nGaseous atoms and molecules move freely and randomly through space. Diffusion is the process whereby gaseous atoms and molecules are transferred from regions of relatively high concentration to regions of relatively low concentration. Effusion is a similar process in which gaseous species pass from a container to a vacuum through very small orifices. The rates of effusion of gases are inversely proportional to the square roots of their densities or to the square roots of their atoms/molecules' masses (Graham's law)."} {"id": 3314, "contents": "921. Summary - 921.5. The Kinetic-Molecular Theory\nThe kinetic molecular theory is a simple but very effective model that effectively explains ideal gas behavior. The theory assumes that gases consist of widely separated molecules of negligible volume that are in constant motion, colliding elastically with one another and the walls of their container with average speeds determined by their absolute temperatures. The individual molecules of a gas exhibit a range of speeds, the distribution of these speeds being dependent on the temperature of the\ngas and the mass of its molecules."} {"id": 3315, "contents": "921. Summary - 921.6. Non-Ideal Gas Behavior\nGas molecules possess a finite volume and experience forces of attraction for one another. Consequently, gas behavior is not necessarily described well by the ideal gas law. Under conditions of low pressure and high temperature, these factors are negligible, the ideal gas equation is an accurate\ndescription of gas behavior, and the gas is said to exhibit ideal behavior. However, at lower temperatures and higher pressures, corrections for molecular volume and molecular attractions are required to account for finite molecular size and attractive forces. The van der Waals equation is a modified version of the ideal gas law that can be used to account for the non-ideal behavior of gases under these conditions."} {"id": 3316, "contents": "922.

All of the principles involving energy we have examined up to now apply to bond energies exactly as they do to all other forms of energy: that is, energy may change form or be absorbed or released, but it cannot be created or destroyed. The energy of a chemical bond is indicated by the bond enthalpy, taken by convention to be the energy required to break a chemical bond. The same energy is released when a chemical bond is formed. Given that a chemical reaction involves breaking some bonds and making others, the enthalpy change for a chemical reaction can be estimated by analyzing the bonds broken and formed during the reaction. While this procedure gives an estimate of the overall enthalpy, it should be noted that a far more precise method involves using enthalpies of formation; the fact that there can be significant differences between, for example, an $\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond in water and that in acetic acid accounts for the discrepancy in calculating $\\Delta H$ using bond enthalpies versus the use of enthalpies of formation."} {"id": 3341, "contents": "925.

The macronutrients in food (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates) undergo metabolic reactions that provide the energy to keep our bodies functioning. We burn a variety of fuels (gasoline, natural gas, coal) to produce energy for transportation, heating, and the generation of electricity. Industrial chemical reactions use enormous amounts of energy to produce raw materials (such as iron and aluminum). Energy is then used to manufacture those raw materials into useful products, such as cars, skyscrapers, and bridges.\n\n\nFIGURE 9.2 The energy involved in chemical changes is important to our daily lives: (a) A cheeseburger for lunch provides the energy you need to get through the rest of the day; (b) the combustion of gasoline provides the energy that moves your car (and you) between home, work, and school; and (c) coke, a processed form of coal, provides the energy needed to convert iron ore into iron, which is essential for making many of the products we use daily.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nOver $90 \\%$ of the energy we use comes originally from the sun. Every day, the sun provides the earth with almost 10,000 times the amount of energy necessary to meet all of the world's energy needs for that day. Our challenge is to find ways to convert and store incoming solar energy so that it can be used in reactions or chemical processes that are both convenient and nonpolluting. Plants and many bacteria capture solar energy through photosynthesis. We release the energy stored in plants when we burn wood or plant products such as ethanol. We also use this energy to fuel our bodies by eating food that comes directly from plants or from animals that got their energy by eating plants. Burning coal and petroleum also releases stored solar energy: These fuels are fossilized plant and animal matter.\n\nThis chapter will introduce the basic ideas of an important area of science concerned with the amount of heat absorbed or released during chemical and physical changes-an area called thermochemistry. The concepts introduced in this chapter are widely used in almost all scientific and technical fields. Food scientists use them to determine the energy content of foods. Biologists study the energetics of living organisms, such as the metabolic combustion of sugar into carbon dioxide and water. The oil, gas, and transportation industries, renewable energy providers, and many others endeavor to find better methods to produce energy for our commercial and personal needs. Engineers strive to improve energy efficiency, find better ways to heat and cool our homes, refrigerate our food and drinks, and meet the energy and cooling needs of computers and electronics, among other applications. Understanding thermochemical principles is essential for chemists, physicists, biologists, geologists, every type of engineer, and just about anyone who studies or does any kind of science."} {"id": 3343, "contents": "926. Energy - \nEnergy can be defined as the capacity to supply heat or do work. One type of work ( $\\boldsymbol{w}$ ) is the process of causing matter to move against an opposing force. For example, we do work when we inflate a bicycle tire-we move matter (the air in the pump) against the opposing force of the air already in the tire.\n\nLike matter, energy comes in different types. One scheme classifies energy into two types: potential energy, the energy an object has because of its relative position, composition, or condition, and kinetic energy, the energy that an object possesses because of its motion. Water at the top of a waterfall or dam has potential energy because of its position; when it flows downward through generators, it has kinetic energy that can be used to do work and produce electricity in a hydroelectric plant (Figure 9.3). A battery has potential energy because the chemicals within it can produce electricity that can do work.\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\nFIGURE 9.3 (a) Water at a higher elevation, for example, at the top of Victoria Falls, has a higher potential energy than water at a lower elevation. As the water falls, some of its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. (b) If the water flows through generators at the bottom of a dam, such as the Hoover Dam shown here, its kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy. (credit a: modification of work by Steve Jurvetson; credit b: modification of work by \"curimedia\"/Wikimedia commons)\n\nEnergy can be converted from one form into another, but all of the energy present before a change occurs always exists in some form after the change is completed. This observation is expressed in the law of conservation of energy: during a chemical or physical change, energy can be neither created nor destroyed, although it can be changed in form. (This is also one version of the first law of thermodynamics, as you will learn later.)"} {"id": 3344, "contents": "926. Energy - \nWhen one substance is converted into another, there is always an associated conversion of one form of energy into another. Heat is usually released or absorbed, but sometimes the conversion involves light, electrical energy, or some other form of energy. For example, chemical energy (a type of potential energy) is stored in the molecules that compose gasoline. When gasoline is combusted within the cylinders of a car's engine, the rapidly expanding gaseous products of this chemical reaction generate mechanical energy (a type of kinetic\nenergy) when they move the cylinders' pistons.\nAccording to the law of conservation of matter (seen in an earlier chapter), there is no detectable change in the total amount of matter during a chemical change. When chemical reactions occur, the energy changes are relatively modest and the mass changes are too small to measure, so the laws of conservation of matter and energy hold well. However, in nuclear reactions, the energy changes are much larger (by factors of a million or so), the mass changes are measurable, and matter-energy conversions are significant. This will be examined in more detail in a later chapter on nuclear chemistry."} {"id": 3345, "contents": "927. Thermal Energy, Temperature, and Heat - \nThermal energy is kinetic energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules. Temperature is a quantitative measure of \"hot\" or \"cold.\" When the atoms and molecules in an object are moving or vibrating quickly, they have a higher average kinetic energy (KE), and we say that the object is \"hot.\" When the atoms and molecules are moving slowly, they have lower average KE, and we say that the object is \"cold\" (Figure 9.4). Assuming that no chemical reaction or phase change (such as melting or vaporizing) occurs, increasing the amount of thermal energy in a sample of matter will cause its temperature to increase. And, assuming that no chemical reaction or phase change (such as condensation or freezing) occurs, decreasing the amount of thermal energy in a sample of matter will cause its temperature to decrease.\n\n\nHot water\n(a)\n\n\nCold water\n(b)\n\nFIGURE 9.4 (a) The molecules in a sample of hot water move more rapidly than (b) those in a sample of cold water."} {"id": 3346, "contents": "928.

A change that releases heat is called an exothermic process. For example, the combustion reaction that occurs when using an oxyacetylene torch is an exothermic process-this process also releases energy in the form of light as evidenced by the torch's flame (Figure 9.7). A reaction or change that absorbs heat is an endothermic process. A cold pack used to treat muscle strains provides an example of an endothermic process. When the substances in the cold pack (water and a salt like ammonium nitrate) are brought together, the resulting process absorbs heat, leading to the sensation of cold.\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\nFIGURE 9.7 (a) An oxyacetylene torch produces heat by the combustion of acetylene in oxygen.

LINK TO LEARNING - \nHistorically, energy was measured in units of calories (cal). A calorie is the amount of energy required to raise one gram of water by 1 degree C (1 kelvin). However, this quantity depends on the atmospheric pressure and the starting temperature of the water. The ease of measurement of energy changes in calories has meant that the calorie is still frequently used. The Calorie (with a capital C), or large calorie, commonly used in quantifying food energy content, is a kilocalorie. The SI unit of heat, work, and energy is the joule. A joule (J) is defined as the amount of energy used when a force of 1 newton moves an object 1 meter. It is named in honor of the English physicist James Prescott Joule. One joule is equivalent to $1 \\mathrm{~kg} \\mathrm{~m}{ }^{2} / \\mathrm{s}^{2}$, which is also called 1 newton-meter. A kilojoule (kJ) is 1000 joules. To standardize its definition, 1 calorie has been set to equal 4.184 joules.\n\nWe now introduce two concepts useful in describing heat flow and temperature change. The heat capacity (C) of a body of matter is the quantity of heat ( $q$ ) it absorbs or releases when it experiences a temperature change $(\\Delta T)$ of 1 degree Celsius (or equivalently, 1 kelvin):\n\n$$\nC=\\frac{q}{\\Delta T}\n$$\n\nHeat capacity is determined by both the type and amount of substance that absorbs or releases heat. It is therefore an extensive property-its value is proportional to the amount of the substance.\n\nFor example, consider the heat capacities of two cast iron frying pans. The heat capacity of the large pan is five times greater than that of the small pan because, although both are made of the same material, the mass of the large pan is five times greater than the mass of the small pan. More mass means more atoms are present in the larger pan, so it takes more energy to make all of those atoms vibrate faster.

Solar Thermal Energy Power Plants - \nThe sunlight that reaches the earth contains thousands of times more energy than we presently capture. Solar thermal systems provide one possible solution to the problem of converting energy from the sun into energy we can use. Large-scale solar thermal plants have different design specifics, but all concentrate sunlight to heat some substance; the heat \"stored\" in that substance is then converted into electricity.\n\nThe Solana Generating Station in Arizona's Sonora Desert produces 280 megawatts of electrical power. It uses parabolic mirrors that focus sunlight on pipes filled with a heat transfer fluid (HTF) (Figure 9.9). The HTF then does two things: It turns water into steam, which spins turbines, which in turn produces electricity, and it melts and heats a mixture of salts, which functions as a thermal energy storage system. After the sun goes down, the molten salt mixture can then release enough of its stored heat to produce steam to run the turbines for 6 hours. Molten salts are used because they possess a number of beneficial properties, including high heat capacities and thermal conductivities.\n\n\nFIGURE 9.9 This solar thermal plant uses parabolic trough mirrors to concentrate sunlight.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Explain the technique of calorimetry\n- Calculate and interpret heat and related properties using typical calorimetry data\n\nOne technique we can use to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process is known as calorimetry. Calorimetry is used to measure amounts of heat transferred to or from a substance. To do so, the heat is exchanged with a calibrated object (calorimeter). The temperature change measured by the calorimeter is used to derive the amount of heat transferred by the process under study. The measurement of heat transfer using this approach requires the definition of a system (the substance or substances undergoing the chemical or physical change) and its surroundings (all other matter, including components of the measurement apparatus, that serve to either provide heat to the system or absorb heat from the system).\n\nA calorimeter is a device used to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process. For example, when an exothermic reaction occurs in solution in a calorimeter, the heat produced by the reaction is absorbed by the solution, which increases its temperature. When an endothermic reaction occurs, the heat required is absorbed from the thermal energy of the solution, which decreases its temperature (Figure 9.11). The temperature change, along with the specific heat and mass of the solution, can then be used to calculate the amount of heat involved in either case.\n\n\nFIGURE 9.11 In a calorimetric determination, either (a) an exothermic process occurs and heat, $q$, is negative, indicating that thermal energy is transferred from the system to its surroundings, or (b) an endothermic process occurs and heat, $q$, is positive, indicating that thermal energy is transferred from the surroundings to the system.\n\nCalorimetry measurements are important in understanding the heat transferred in reactions involving everything from microscopic proteins to massive machines. During her time at the National Bureau of Standards, research chemist Reatha Clark King performed calorimetric experiments to understand the precise heats of various flourine compounds. Her work was important to NASA in their quest for better rocket fuels."} {"id": 3365, "contents": "943. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nScientists use well-insulated calorimeters that all but prevent the transfer of heat between the calorimeter and its environment, which effectively limits the \"surroundings\" to the nonsystem components with the calorimeter (and the calorimeter itself). This enables the accurate determination of the heat involved in chemical processes, the energy content of foods, and so on. General chemistry students often use simple calorimeters constructed from polystyrene cups (Figure 9.12). These easy-to-use \"coffee cup\" calorimeters allow more heat exchange with the outside environment, and therefore produce less accurate energy values.\n\n\nFIGURE 9.12 A simple calorimeter can be constructed from two polystyrene cups. A thermometer and stirrer extend through the cover into the reaction mixture.\n\nCommercial solution calorimeters are also available. Relatively inexpensive calorimeters often consist of two thin-walled cups that are nested in a way that minimizes thermal contact during use, along with an insulated cover, handheld stirrer, and simple thermometer. More expensive calorimeters used for industry and research typically have a well-insulated, fully enclosed reaction vessel, motorized stirring mechanism, and a more accurate temperature sensor (Figure 9.13).\n\n\nFIGURE 9.13 Commercial solution calorimeters range from (a) simple, inexpensive models for student use to (b) expensive, more accurate models for industry and research.\n\nBefore discussing the calorimetry of chemical reactions, consider a simpler example that illustrates the core idea behind calorimetry. Suppose we initially have a high-temperature substance, such as a hot piece of metal $(M)$, and a low-temperature substance, such as cool water (W). If we place the metal in the water, heat will flow from M to W . The temperature of M will decrease, and the temperature of W will increase, until the two substances have the same temperature-that is, when they reach thermal equilibrium (Figure 9.14). If this occurs in a calorimeter, ideally all of this heat transfer occurs between the two substances, with no heat gained or lost by either its external environment.

A different type of calorimeter that operates at constant volume, colloquially known as a bomb calorimeter, is used to measure the energy produced by reactions that yield large amounts of heat and gaseous products, such as combustion reactions. (The term \"bomb\" comes from the observation that these reactions can be vigorous enough to resemble explosions that would damage other calorimeters.) This type of calorimeter consists of a robust steel container (the \"bomb\") that contains the reactants and is itself submerged in water (Figure 9.17). The sample is placed in the bomb, which is then filled with oxygen at high pressure. A small electrical spark is used to ignite the sample. The energy produced by the reaction is absorbed by the steel bomb and the surrounding water. The temperature increase is measured and, along with the known heat capacity of the calorimeter, is used to calculate the energy produced by the reaction. Bomb calorimeters require calibration to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter and ensure accurate results. The calibration is accomplished using a reaction with a known $q$, such as a measured quantity of benzoic acid ignited by a spark from a nickel fuse wire that is weighed before and after the reaction. The temperature change produced by the known reaction is used to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. The calibration is generally performed each time before the calorimeter is used to gather research data.\n\n\nFIGURE 9.17 (a) A bomb calorimeter is used to measure heat produced by reactions involving gaseous reactants or products, such as combustion.

Studies like this help develop better recommendations and regimens for nutrition, exercise, and general wellbeing during this period of significant physiological change. In humans, metabolism is typically measured in Calories per day.

As we concentrate on thermochemistry in this chapter, we need to consider some widely used concepts of thermodynamics.\n\nSubstances act as reservoirs of energy, meaning that energy can be added to them or removed from them. Energy is stored in a substance when the kinetic energy of its atoms or molecules is raised. The greater kinetic energy may be in the form of increased translations (travel or straight-line motions), vibrations, or rotations of the atoms or molecules. When thermal energy is lost, the intensities of these motions decrease and the kinetic energy falls. The total of all possible kinds of energy present in a substance is called the internal energy ( $\\boldsymbol{U}$ ), sometimes symbolized as $E$.\n\nAs a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system. Energy is transferred into a system when it absorbs heat $(q)$ from the surroundings or when the surroundings do work ( $w$ ) on the system. For example, energy is transferred into room-temperature metal wire if it is immersed in hot water (the wire absorbs heat from the water), or if you rapidly bend the wire back and forth (the wire becomes warmer because of the work done on it). Both processes increase the internal energy of the wire, which is reflected in an increase in the wire's temperature. Conversely, energy is transferred out of a system when heat is lost from the system, or when the system does work on the surroundings.\n\nThe relationship between internal energy, heat, and work can be represented by the equation:\n\n$$\n\\Delta U=q+w\n$$"} {"id": 3399, "contents": "978. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nThe relationship between internal energy, heat, and work can be represented by the equation:\n\n$$\n\\Delta U=q+w\n$$\n\nas shown in Figure 9.19. This is one version of the first law of thermodynamics, and it shows that the internal energy of a system changes through heat flow into or out of the system (positive $q$ is heat flow in; negative $q$ is heat flow out) or work done on or by the system. The work, $w$, is positive if it is done on the system and negative if it is done by the system.\n\n\nFIGURE 9.19 The internal energy, $U$, of a system can be changed by heat flow and work. If heat flows into the system, $q_{i n}$, or work is done on the system, $w_{\\text {on }}$, its internal energy increases, $\\Delta U>0$. If heat flows out of the system, $q_{\\text {out }}$, or work is done by the system, $w_{\\text {by }}$, its internal energy decreases, $\\Delta U<0$.\nA type of work called expansion work (or pressure-volume work) occurs when a system pushes back the\nsurroundings against a restraining pressure, or when the surroundings compress the system. An example of this occurs during the operation of an internal combustion engine. The reaction of gasoline and oxygen is exothermic. Some of this energy is given off as heat, and some does work pushing the piston in the cylinder. The substances involved in the reaction are the system, and the engine and the rest of the universe are the surroundings. The system loses energy by both heating and doing work on the surroundings, and its internal energy decreases. (The engine is able to keep the car moving because this process is repeated many times per second while the engine is running.)

LINK TO LEARNING - \nThis view of an internal combustion engine (http://openstax.org/l/16combustion) illustrates the conversion of energy produced by the exothermic combustion reaction of a fuel such as gasoline into energy of motion.\n\nAs discussed, the relationship between internal energy, heat, and work can be represented as $\\Delta U=q+w$. Internal energy is an example of a state function (or state variable), whereas heat and work are not state functions. The value of a state function depends only on the state that a system is in, and not on how that state is reached. If a quantity is not a state function, then its value does depend on how the state is reached. An example of a state function is altitude or elevation. If you stand on the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, you are at an altitude of 5895 m , and it does not matter whether you hiked there or parachuted there. The distance you traveled to the top of Kilimanjaro, however, is not a state function. You could climb to the summit by a direct route or by a more roundabout, circuitous path (Figure 9.20). The distances traveled would differ (distance is not a state function) but the elevation reached would be the same (altitude is a state function).\n\n\nFIGURE 9.20 Paths $X$ and $Y$ represent two different routes to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Both have the same change in elevation (altitude or elevation on a mountain is a state function; it does not depend on path), but they have very different distances traveled (distance walked is not a state function; it depends on the path).

LINK TO LEARNING - \n$$\nH=U+P V\n$$\n\nEnthalpy is also a state function. Enthalpy values for specific substances cannot be measured directly; only enthalpy changes for chemical or physical processes can be determined.

On the other hand, the heat produced by a reaction measured in a bomb calorimeter (Figure 9.17) is not equal to $\\Delta H$ because the closed, constant-volume metal container prevents the pressure from remaining constant (it may increase or decrease if the reaction yields increased or decreased amounts of gaseous species).

In a thermochemical equation, the enthalpy change of a reaction is shown as a $\\Delta H$ value following the equation for the reaction.

Answer: - \n$\\Delta H=-338 \\mathrm{~kJ}$\n\nEnthalpy changes are typically tabulated for reactions in which both the reactants and products are at the same conditions. A standard state is a commonly accepted set of conditions used as a reference point for the determination of properties under other different conditions. For chemists, the IUPAC standard state refers to materials under a pressure of 1 bar and solutions at 1 M , and does not specify a temperature. Many thermochemical tables list values with a standard state of 1 atm . Because the $\\Delta H$ of a reaction changes very little with such small changes in pressure ( $1 \\mathrm{bar}=0.987 \\mathrm{~atm}$ ), $\\Delta H$ values (except for the most precisely measured values) are essentially the same under both sets of standard conditions. We will include a superscripted \" o \" in the enthalpy change symbol to designate standard state. Since the usual (but not technically standard) temperature is 298.15 K , this temperature will be assumed unless some other temperature is specified. Thus, the symbol $\\left(\\Delta H^{\\circ}\\right)$ is used to indicate an enthalpy change for a process occurring under these conditions. (The symbol $\\Delta H$ is used to indicate an enthalpy change for a reaction occurring under nonstandard conditions.)\n\nThe enthalpy changes for many types of chemical and physical processes are available in the reference literature, including those for combustion reactions, phase transitions, and formation reactions. As we discuss these quantities, it is important to pay attention to the extensive nature of enthalpy and enthalpy changes. Since the enthalpy change for a given reaction is proportional to the amounts of substances involved, it may be reported on that basis (i.e., as the $\\Delta H$ for specific amounts of reactants). However, we often find it more useful to divide one extensive property $(\\Delta H)$ by another (amount of substance), and report a per-amount intensive value of $\\Delta H$, often \"normalized\" to a per-mole basis.

Bond Strength: Covalent Bonds - \nStable molecules exist because covalent bonds hold the atoms together. We measure the strength of a covalent bond by the energy required to break it, that is, the energy necessary to separate the bonded atoms. Separating any pair of bonded atoms requires energy (see Figure 4.4). The stronger a bond, the greater the energy required to break it.\n\nThe energy required to break a specific covalent bond in one mole of gaseous molecules is called the bond energy or the bond dissociation energy. The bond energy for a diatomic molecule, $\\mathrm{D}_{\\mathrm{X}-\\mathrm{Y}}$, is defined as the standard enthalpy change for the endothermic reaction:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{XY}(g) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{X}(g)+\\mathrm{Y}(g) \\quad \\mathrm{D}_{\\mathrm{X}-\\mathrm{Y}}=\\Delta H^{\\circ}\n$$\n\nFor example, the bond energy of the pure covalent $\\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond, $\\mathrm{D}_{\\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{H}}$, is 436 kJ per mole of $\\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{H}$ bonds broken:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{H}_{2}(g) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{H}(g) \\quad \\mathrm{D}_{\\mathrm{H}-\\mathrm{H}}=\\Delta H^{\\circ}=436 \\mathrm{~kJ}\n$$\n\nMolecules with three or more atoms have two or more bonds.

Although the four $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ bonds are equivalent in the original molecule, they do not each require the same energy to break; once the first bond is broken (which requires $439 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$ ), the remaining bonds are easier to break. The $415 \\mathrm{~kJ} / \\mathrm{mol}$ value is the average, not the exact value required to break any one bond.\n\nThe strength of a bond between two atoms increases as the number of electron pairs in the bond increases. Generally, as the bond strength increases, the bond length decreases. Thus, we find that triple bonds are stronger and shorter than double bonds between the same two atoms; likewise, double bonds are stronger and shorter than single bonds between the same two atoms. Average bond energies for some common bonds appear in Table 9.3, and a comparison of bond lengths and bond strengths for some common bonds appears in\n\nTable 9.4.

Ionic Bond Strength and Lattice Energy - \nAn ionic compound is stable because of the electrostatic attraction between its positive and negative ions. The lattice energy of a compound is a measure of the strength of this attraction. The lattice energy ( $\\boldsymbol{\\Delta} \\boldsymbol{H}_{\\text {lattice }}$ ) of an ionic compound is defined as the energy required to separate one mole of the solid into its component gaseous ions.

Some texts use the equivalent but opposite convention, defining lattice energy as the energy released when separate ions combine to form a lattice and giving negative (exothermic) values. Thus, if you are looking up lattice energies in another reference, be certain to check which definition is being used. In both cases, a larger magnitude for lattice energy indicates a more stable ionic compound. For sodium chloride, $\\Delta H_{\\text {lattice }}=769 \\mathrm{~kJ}$.

The $\\Delta H_{s}^{\\circ}$ represents the conversion of solid cesium into a gas, and then the ionization energy converts the gaseous cesium atoms into cations. In the next step, we account for the energy required to break the $F-F$ bond to produce fluorine atoms. Converting one mole of fluorine atoms into fluoride ions is an exothermic process, so this step gives off energy (the electron affinity) and is shown as decreasing along the $y$-axis. We now have one mole of Cs cations and one mole of F anions. These ions combine to produce solid cesium fluoride. The enthalpy change in this step is the negative of the lattice energy, so it is also an exothermic quantity.

Summary - 1043.1. Energy Basics\nEnergy is the capacity to supply heat or do work (applying a force to move matter). Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy of motion; potential energy is energy due to relative position, composition, or condition. When energy is converted from one form into another, energy is neither created nor destroyed (law of conservation of energy or first law of thermodynamics).\n\nThe thermal energy of matter is due to the kinetic energies of its constituent atoms or molecules. Temperature is an intensive property of matter reflecting hotness or coldness that increases as the average kinetic energy increases. Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between objects at different temperatures. Chemical and physical processes can absorb heat (endothermic) or release heat (exothermic). The SI unit of energy, heat, and work is the joule ( J ).\n\nSpecific heat and heat capacity are measures of the energy needed to change the temperature of a substance or object. The amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance depends directly on the type of substance, its mass, and the temperature change it undergoes."} {"id": 3483, "contents": "1043. Summary - 1043.2. Calorimetry\nCalorimetry is used to measure the amount of thermal energy transferred in a chemical or physical process. This requires careful measurement of the temperature change that occurs during the process and the masses of the system and surroundings. These measured quantities are then used to compute the amount of heat produced or consumed\nin the process using known mathematical relations.\nCalorimeters are designed to minimize energy exchange between their contents and the external environment. They range from simple coffee cup calorimeters used by introductory chemistry students to sophisticated bomb calorimeters used to determine the energy content of food."} {"id": 3484, "contents": "1043. Summary - 1043.3. Enthalpy\nIf a chemical change is carried out at constant pressure and the only work done is caused by expansion or contraction, $q$ for the change is called the enthalpy change with the symbol $\\Delta H$, or $\\Delta H^{\\circ}$ for reactions occurring under standard state conditions at 298 K . The value of $\\Delta H$ for a reaction in one direction is equal in magnitude, but opposite in sign, to $\\Delta H$ for the reaction in the opposite direction, and $\\Delta H$ is directly proportional to the quantity of reactants and products. The standard enthalpy of formation, $\\Delta \\boldsymbol{H}_{\\mathrm{f}}^{\\circ}$, is the enthalpy change accompanying the formation of 1 mole of a substance from the elements in their most stable states at 1 bar and 298.15 K. If the enthalpies of formation are available for the reactants and products of a reaction, the enthalpy change can be calculated using Hess's law: If a process can be written as the sum of several stepwise processes, the enthalpy change of the total process equals the sum of the enthalpy changes of the various steps."} {"id": 3485, "contents": "1043. Summary - 1043.4. Strengths of Ionic and Covalent Bonds\nThe strength of a covalent bond is measured by its bond dissociation energy, that is, the amount of energy required to break that particular bond in a mole of molecules. Multiple bonds are stronger than\nsingle bonds between the same atoms. The enthalpy of a reaction can be estimated based on the energy input required to break bonds and the energy released when new bonds are formed. For ionic bonds, the lattice energy is the energy required to separate one mole of a compound into its gas phase\nions. Lattice energy increases for ions with higher charges and shorter distances between ions. Lattice energies are often calculated using the Born-Haber cycle, a thermochemical cycle including all of the energetic steps involved in converting elements into an ionic compound."} {"id": 3486, "contents": "1044.

Aside from the symptoms and complications of the illness, its social stigma led sufferers to be cast out of communities and isolated in colonies; in some regions this practice lasted well into the twentieth century. At that time, the best potential treatment for leprosy was oil from the chaulmoogra tree, but the oil was extremely thick, causing blisters and making usage painful and ineffective. Healthcare professionals seeking a better application contacted Alice Ball, a young chemist at the University of Hawaii, who had focused her masters thesis on a similar plant. Ball initiated a sequence of procedures (repeated acidification and purification to change the characteristics of the oil and isolate the active substances (esters, discussed later in this text). The \"Ball Method\" as it later came to be called, became the standard treatment for leprosy for decades. In the liquid and solid states, atomic and molecular interactions are of considerable strength and play an important role in determining a number of physical properties of the substance. For example, the thickness, or viscosity, of the chaulmoogra oil was due to its intermolecular forces. In this chapter, the nature of these interactions and their effects on various physical properties of liquid and solid phases will be examined."} {"id": 3519, "contents": "1047. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Describe the types of intermolecular forces possible between atoms or molecules in condensed phases (dispersion forces, dipole-dipole attractions, and hydrogen bonding)\n- Identify the types of intermolecular forces experienced by specific molecules based on their structures\n- Explain the relation between the intermolecular forces present within a substance and the temperatures associated with changes in its physical state\n\nAs was the case for gaseous substances, the kinetic molecular theory may be used to explain the behavior of solids and liquids. In the following description, the term particle will be used to refer to an atom, molecule, or ion. Note that we will use the popular phrase \"intermolecular attraction\" to refer to attractive forces between the particles of a substance, regardless of whether these particles are molecules, atoms, or ions.\n\nConsider these two aspects of the molecular-level environments in solid, liquid, and gaseous matter:\n\n- Particles in a solid are tightly packed together and often arranged in a regular pattern; in a liquid, they are close together with no regular arrangement; in a gas, they are far apart with no regular arrangement.\n- Particles in a solid vibrate about fixed positions and do not generally move in relation to one another; in a liquid, they move past each other but remain in essentially constant contact; in a gas, they move independently of one another except when they collide.\n\nThe differences in the properties of a solid, liquid, or gas reflect the strengths of the attractive forces between the atoms, molecules, or ions that make up each phase. The phase in which a substance exists depends on the relative extents of its intermolecular forces (IMFs) and the kinetic energies (KE) of its molecules. IMFs are the various forces of attraction that may exist between the atoms and molecules of a substance due to electrostatic phenomena, as will be detailed in this module. These forces serve to hold particles close together, whereas the particles' KE provides the energy required to overcome the attractive forces and thus increase the distance between particles. Figure 10.2 illustrates how changes in physical state may be induced by changing the temperature, hence, the average KE , of a given substance."} {"id": 3520, "contents": "1047. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nFIGURE 10.2 Transitions between solid, liquid, and gaseous states of a substance occur when conditions of temperature or pressure favor the associated changes in intermolecular forces. (Note: The space between particles in the gas phase is much greater than shown.)\n\nAs an example of the processes depicted in this figure, consider a sample of water. When gaseous water is cooled sufficiently, the attractions between $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$ molecules will be capable of holding them together when they come into contact with each other; the gas condenses, forming liquid $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$. For example, liquid water forms on the outside of a cold glass as the water vapor in the air is cooled by the cold glass, as seen in Figure 10.3.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.3 Condensation forms when water vapor in the air is cooled enough to form liquid water, such as (a) on the outside of a cold beverage glass or (b) in the form of fog. (credit a: modification of work by Jenny Downing; credit b: modification of work by Cory Zanker)\n\nWe can also liquefy many gases by compressing them, if the temperature is not too high. The increased pressure brings the molecules of a gas closer together, such that the attractions between the molecules become strong relative to their KE. Consequently, they form liquids. Butane, $\\mathrm{C}_{4} \\mathrm{H}_{10}$, is the fuel used in disposable lighters and is a gas at standard temperature and pressure. Inside the lighter's fuel compartment, the butane is compressed to a pressure that results in its condensation to the liquid state, as shown in Figure 10.4.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.4 Gaseous butane is compressed within the storage compartment of a disposable lighter, resulting in its condensation to the liquid state. (credit: modification of work by \"Sam-Cat\"/Flickr)\n\nFinally, if the temperature of a liquid becomes sufficiently low, or the pressure on the liquid becomes sufficiently high, the molecules of the liquid no longer have enough KE to overcome the IMF between them, and a solid forms. A more thorough discussion of these and other changes of state, or phase transitions, is provided in a later module of this chapter."} {"id": 3521, "contents": "1048.

Forces between Molecules - \nUnder appropriate conditions, the attractions between all gas molecules will cause them to form liquids or solids. This is due to intermolecular forces, not intramolecular forces. Intramolecular forces are those within the molecule that keep the molecule together, for example, the bonds between the atoms. Intermolecular forces are the attractions between molecules, which determine many of the physical properties of a substance. Figure 10.5 illustrates these different molecular forces. The strengths of these attractive forces vary widely, though usually the IMFs between small molecules are weak compared to the intramolecular forces that bond atoms together within a molecule. For example, to overcome the IMFs in one mole of liquid HCl and convert it into gaseous HCl requires only about 17 kilojoules. However, to break the covalent bonds between the hydrogen and chlorine atoms in one mole of HCl requires about 25 times more energy-430 kilojoules.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.5 Intramolecular forces keep a molecule intact. Intermolecular forces hold multiple molecules together and determine many of a substance's properties.\n\nAll of the attractive forces between neutral atoms and molecules are known as van der Waals forces, although they are usually referred to more informally as intermolecular attraction. We will consider the various types of IMFs in the next three sections of this module."} {"id": 3523, "contents": "1050. Dispersion Forces - \nOne of the three van der Waals forces is present in all condensed phases, regardless of the nature of the atoms or molecules composing the substance. This attractive force is called the London dispersion force in honor of German-born American physicist Fritz London who, in 1928, first explained it. This force is often referred to as simply the dispersion force. Because the electrons of an atom or molecule are in constant motion (or, alternatively, the electron's location is subject to quantum-mechanical variability), at any moment in time, an atom or molecule can develop a temporary, instantaneous dipole if its electrons are distributed asymmetrically. The presence of this dipole can, in turn, distort the electrons of a neighboring atom or molecule, producing an induced dipole. These two rapidly fluctuating, temporary dipoles thus result in a relatively weak electrostatic attraction between the species-a so-called dispersion force like that illustrated in Figure 10.6.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.6 Dispersion forces result from the formation of temporary dipoles, as illustrated here for two nonpolar diatomic molecules.\n\nDispersion forces that develop between atoms in different molecules can attract the two molecules to each other. The forces are relatively weak, however, and become significant only when the molecules are very close.\n\nLarger and heavier atoms and molecules exhibit stronger dispersion forces than do smaller and lighter atoms and molecules. $\\mathrm{F}_{2}$ and $\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ are gases at room temperature (reflecting weaker attractive forces); $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ is a liquid, and $\\mathrm{I}_{2}$ is a solid (reflecting stronger attractive forces). Trends in observed melting and boiling points for the halogens clearly demonstrate this effect, as seen in Table 10.1.\n\nMelting and Boiling Points of the Halogens"} {"id": 3524, "contents": "1050.

In a larger atom, the valence electrons are, on average, farther from the nuclei than in a smaller atom. Thus, they are less tightly held and can more easily form the temporary dipoles that produce the attraction. The measure of how easy or difficult it is for another electrostatic charge (for example, a nearby ion or polar molecule) to distort a molecule's charge distribution (its electron cloud) is known as polarizability. A molecule that has a charge cloud that is easily distorted is said to be very polarizable and will have large dispersion forces; one with a charge cloud that is difficult to distort is not very polarizable and will have small dispersion forces."} {"id": 3525, "contents": "1052.

Explain your reasoning."} {"id": 3526, "contents": "1053. Solution - \nApplying the skills acquired in the chapter on chemical bonding and molecular geometry, all of these compounds are predicted to be nonpolar, so they may experience only dispersion forces: the smaller the molecule, the less polarizable and the weaker the dispersion forces; the larger the molecule, the larger the dispersion forces. The molar masses of $\\mathrm{CH}_{4}, \\mathrm{SiH}_{4}, \\mathrm{GeH}_{4}$, and $\\mathrm{SnH}_{4}$ are approximately $16 \\mathrm{~g} / \\mathrm{mol}, 32 \\mathrm{~g} / \\mathrm{mol}, 77 \\mathrm{~g} /$ mol, and $123 \\mathrm{~g} / \\mathrm{mol}$, respectively. Therefore, $\\mathrm{CH}_{4}$ is expected to have the lowest boiling point and $\\mathrm{SnH}_{4}$ the highest boiling point. The ordering from lowest to highest boiling point is expected to be $\\mathrm{CH}_{4}<\\mathrm{SiH}_{4}<\\mathrm{GeH}_{4}<$ $\\mathrm{SnH}_{4}$.\n\nA graph of the actual boiling points of these compounds versus the period of the group 14 element shows this prediction to be correct:"} {"id": 3527, "contents": "1054.

Answer: - \n$\\mathrm{C}_{2} \\mathrm{H}_{6}<\\mathrm{C}_{3} \\mathrm{H}_{8}<\\mathrm{C}_{4} \\mathrm{H}_{10}$. All of these compounds are nonpolar and only have London dispersion forces: the larger the molecule, the larger the dispersion forces and the higher the boiling point. The ordering from lowest to highest boiling point is therefore $\\mathrm{C}_{2} \\mathrm{H}_{6}<\\mathrm{C}_{3} \\mathrm{H}_{8}<\\mathrm{C}_{4} \\mathrm{H}_{10}$.\n\nThe shapes of molecules also affect the magnitudes of the dispersion forces between them. For example, boiling points for the isomers $n$-pentane, isopentane, and neopentane (shown in Figure 10.7) are $36^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}, 27^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, and $9.5^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, respectively. Even though these compounds are composed of molecules with the same chemical formula, $\\mathrm{C}_{5} \\mathrm{H}_{12}$, the difference in boiling points suggests that dispersion forces in the liquid phase are different, being greatest for $n$-pentane and least for neopentane. The elongated shape of $n$-pentane provides a greater surface area available for contact between molecules, resulting in correspondingly stronger dispersion forces. The more compact shape of isopentane offers a smaller surface area available for intermolecular contact and, therefore, weaker dispersion forces. Neopentane molecules are the most compact of the three, offering the least available surface area for intermolecular contact and, hence, the weakest dispersion forces. This behavior is analogous to the connections that may be formed between strips of VELCRO brand fasteners: the greater the area of the strip's contact, the stronger the connection.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.7 The strength of the dispersion forces increases with the contact area between molecules, as demonstrated by the boiling points of these pentane isomers."} {"id": 3529, "contents": "1057. Geckos and Intermolecular Forces - \nGeckos have an amazing ability to adhere to most surfaces. They can quickly run up smooth walls and across ceilings that have no toe-holds, and they do this without having suction cups or a sticky substance on their toes. And while a gecko can lift its feet easily as it walks along a surface, if you attempt to pick it up, it sticks to the surface. How are geckos (as well as spiders and some other insects) able to do this? Although this phenomenon has been investigated for hundreds of years, scientists only recently uncovered the details of the process that allows geckos' feet to behave this way.\n\nGeckos' toes are covered with hundreds of thousands of tiny hairs known as setae, with each seta, in turn, branching into hundreds of tiny, flat, triangular tips called spatulae. The huge numbers of spatulae on its setae provide a gecko, shown in Figure 10.8, with a large total surface area for sticking to a surface. In 2000, Kellar Autumn, who leads a multi-institutional gecko research team, found that geckos adhered equally well to both polar silicon dioxide and nonpolar gallium arsenide. This proved that geckos stick to surfaces because of dispersion forces-weak intermolecular attractions arising from temporary, synchronized charge distributions between adjacent molecules. Although dispersion forces are very weak, the total attraction over millions of spatulae is large enough to support many times the gecko's weight."} {"id": 3530, "contents": "1057. Geckos and Intermolecular Forces - \nIn 2014, two scientists developed a model to explain how geckos can rapidly transition from \"sticky\" to \"non-sticky.\" Alex Greaney and Congcong Hu at Oregon State University described how geckos can achieve this by changing the angle between their spatulae and the surface. Geckos' feet, which are normally nonsticky, become sticky when a small shear force is applied. By curling and uncurling their toes, geckos can alternate between sticking and unsticking from a surface, and thus easily move across it. Later research led by Alyssa Stark at University of Akron showed that geckos can maintain their hold on hydrophobic surfaces (similar to the leaves in their habitats) equally well whether the surfaces were wet or dry. Stark's experiment used a ribbon to gently pull the geckos until they slipped, so that the researchers could determine the geckos' ability to hold various surfaces under wet and dry conditions. Further investigations may eventually lead to the development of better adhesives and other applications.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.8 Geckos' toes contain large numbers of tiny hairs (setae), which branch into many triangular tips (spatulae). Geckos adhere to surfaces because of van der Waals attractions between the surface and a gecko's millions of spatulae. By changing how the spatulae contact the surface, geckos can turn their stickiness \"on\" and \"off.\" (credit photo: modification of work by \"JC*+A!\"/Flickr)"} {"id": 3531, "contents": "1058.

Dipole-Dipole Attractions - \nRecall from the chapter on chemical bonding and molecular geometry that polar molecules have a partial positive charge on one side and a partial negative charge on the other side of the molecule-a separation of charge called a dipole. Consider a polar molecule such as hydrogen chloride, HCl . In the HCl molecule, the more electronegative Cl atom bears the partial negative charge, whereas the less electronegative H atom bears the partial positive charge. An attractive force between HCl molecules results from the attraction between the positive end of one HCl molecule and the negative end of another. This attractive force is called a dipole-dipole attraction-the electrostatic force between the partially positive end of one polar molecule and the partially negative end of another, as illustrated in Figure 10.9.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.9 This image shows two arrangements of polar molecules, such as HCl , that allow an attraction between the partial negative end of one molecule and the partial positive end of another.\n\nThe effect of a dipole-dipole attraction is apparent when we compare the properties of HCl molecules to nonpolar $\\mathrm{F}_{2}$ molecules. Both HCl and $\\mathrm{F}_{2}$ consist of the same number of atoms and have approximately the same molecular mass. At a temperature of 150 K , molecules of both substances would have the same average KE. However, the dipole-dipole attractions between HCl molecules are sufficient to cause them to \"stick together\" to form a liquid, whereas the relatively weaker dispersion forces between nonpolar $\\mathrm{F}_{2}$ molecules are not, and so this substance is gaseous at this temperature. The higher normal boiling point of HCl ( 188 K ) compared to $\\mathrm{F}_{2}(85 \\mathrm{~K})$ is a reflection of the greater strength of dipole-dipole attractions between HCl molecules, compared to the attractions between nonpolar $\\mathrm{F}_{2}$ molecules. We will often use values such as boiling or freezing points, or enthalpies of vaporization or fusion, as indicators of the relative strengths of IMFs of attraction present within different substances."} {"id": 3533, "contents": "1060.

Hydrogen Bonding - \nNitrosyl fluoride (ONF, molecular mass 49 amu ) is a gas at room temperature. Water ( $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$, molecular mass 18 amu ) is a liquid, even though it has a lower molecular mass. We clearly cannot attribute this difference between the two compounds to dispersion forces. Both molecules have about the same shape and ONF is the heavier and larger molecule. It is, therefore, expected to experience more significant dispersion forces. Additionally, we cannot attribute this difference in boiling points to differences in the dipole moments of the molecules. Both molecules are polar and exhibit comparable dipole moments. The large difference between the boiling points is due to a particularly strong dipole-dipole attraction that may occur when a molecule contains a hydrogen atom bonded to a fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen atom (the three most electronegative elements). The very large difference in electronegativity between the H atom (2.1) and the atom to which it is bonded ( 4.0 for an F atom, 3.5 for an O atom, or 3.0 for a N atom), combined with the very small size of a H atom and the relatively small sizes of $\\mathrm{F}, \\mathrm{O}$, or N atoms, leads to highly concentrated partial charges with these atoms. Molecules with $\\mathrm{F}-\\mathrm{H}, \\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$, or $\\mathrm{N}-\\mathrm{H}$ moieties are very strongly attracted to similar moieties in nearby molecules, a particularly strong type of dipole-dipole attraction called hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bonds are much weaker than covalent bonds, only about 5 to $10 \\%$ as strong, but are generally much stronger than other dipole-dipole attractions and dispersion forces.\n\nHydrogen bonds have a pronounced effect on the properties of condensed phases (liquids and solids).

But when you pour syrup on pancakes or add oil to a car engine, you note that syrup and motor oil do not flow as readily. The viscosity of a liquid is a measure of its resistance to flow. Water, gasoline, and other liquids that flow freely have a low viscosity. Honey, syrup, motor oil, and other liquids that do not flow freely, like those shown in Figure 10.15, have higher viscosities. We can measure viscosity by measuring the rate at which a metal ball falls through a liquid (the ball falls more slowly through a more viscous liquid) or by measuring the rate at which a liquid flows through a narrow tube (more viscous liquids flow more slowly).\n\n\nFIGURE 10.15 (a) Honey and (b) motor oil are examples of liquids with high viscosities; they flow slowly.

As Table 10.2 shows, the more structurally complex are the molecules in a liquid and the stronger the IMFs between them, the more difficult it is for them to move past each other and the greater is the viscosity of the liquid. As the temperature increases, the molecules move more rapidly and their kinetic energies are better able to overcome the forces that hold them together; thus, the viscosity of the liquid decreases.\n\nViscosities of Common Substances at $25^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$"} {"id": 3546, "contents": "1071.

The molecules within a liquid are surrounded by other molecules and are attracted equally in all directions by the cohesive forces within the liquid. However, the molecules on the surface of a liquid are attracted only by about one-half as many molecules. Because of the unbalanced molecular attractions on the surface molecules, liquids contract to form a shape that minimizes the number of molecules on the surface-that is, the shape with the minimum surface area. A small drop of liquid tends to assume a spherical shape, as shown in Figure 10.16, because in a sphere, the ratio of surface area to volume is at a minimum. Larger drops are more greatly affected by gravity, air resistance, surface interactions, and so on, and as a result, are less spherical.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.16 Attractive forces result in a spherical water drop that minimizes surface area; cohesive forces hold the sphere together; adhesive forces keep the drop attached to the web.

Properties of Liquids\nSurface tension is defined as the energy required to increase the surface area of a liquid, or the force required to increase the length of a liquid surface by a given amount. This property results from the cohesive forces between molecules at the surface of a liquid, and it causes the surface of a liquid to behave like a stretched rubber membrane. Surface tensions of several liquids are presented in Table 10.3. Among common liquids, water exhibits a distinctly high surface tension due to strong hydrogen bonding between its molecules. As a result of this high surface tension, the surface of water represents a relatively \"tough skin\" that can withstand considerable force without breaking. A steel needle carefully placed on water will float.

Properties of Liquids\nTABLE 10.3\n\n\nFIGURE 10.17 Surface tension (right) prevents this insect, a \"water strider,\" from sinking into the water.\nSurface tension is affected by a variety of variables, including the introduction of additional substances on the surface. In the late 1800s, Agnes Pockels, who was initially blocked from pursuing a scientific career but\nstudied on her own, began investigating the impact and characteristics of soapy and greasy films in water. Using homemade materials, she developed an instrument known as a trough for measuring surface contaminants and their effects. With the support of renowned scientist Lord Rayleigh, her 1891 paper showed that surface contamination significantly reduces surface tension, and also that changing the characteristics of the surface (compressing or expanding it) also affects surface tension. Decades later, Irving Langmuir and Katharine Blodgett built on Pockels' work in their own trough and important advances in surface chemistry. Langmuir pioneered methods for producing single-molecule layers of film; Blodgett applied these to the development of non-reflective glass (critical for film-making and other applications), and also studied methods related to cleaning surfaces, which are important in semiconductor fabrication.\n\nThe IMFs of attraction between two different molecules are called adhesive forces. Consider what happens when water comes into contact with some surface. If the adhesive forces between water molecules and the molecules of the surface are weak compared to the cohesive forces between the water molecules, the water does not \"wet\" the surface. For example, water does not wet waxed surfaces or many plastics such as polyethylene. Water forms drops on these surfaces because the cohesive forces within the drops are greater than the adhesive forces between the water and the plastic. Water spreads out on glass because the adhesive force between water and glass is greater than the cohesive forces within the water. When water is confined in a glass tube, its meniscus (surface) has a concave shape because the water wets the glass and creeps up the side of the tube. On the other hand, the cohesive forces between mercury atoms are much greater than the adhesive forces between mercury and glass. Mercury therefore does not wet glass, and it forms a convex meniscus when confined in a tube because the cohesive forces within the mercury tend to draw it into a drop (Figure 10.18)."} {"id": 3549, "contents": "1071.

A similar process occurs in a cloth towel when you use it to dry off after a shower. These are examples of capillary action-when a liquid flows within a porous material due to the attraction of the liquid molecules to the surface of the material and to other liquid molecules. The adhesive forces between the liquid and the porous material, combined with the cohesive forces within the liquid, may be strong enough to move the liquid upward against gravity.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.19 Wine wicks up a paper towel (left) because of the strong attractions of water (and ethanol) molecules to the -OH groups on the towel's cellulose fibers and the strong attractions of water molecules to other water (and ethanol) molecules (right).

Most cloth towels are made of cotton, and paper towels are generally made from paper pulp. Both consist of long molecules of cellulose that contain many -OH groups. Water molecules are attracted to these -OH groups and form hydrogen bonds with them, which draws the $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$ molecules up the cellulose molecules. The water molecules are also attracted to each other, so large amounts of water are drawn up the cellulose fibers."} {"id": 3550, "contents": "1071. Hydrogen Bonding and DNA - 1071.1. Properties of Liquids\nCapillary action can also occur when one end of a small diameter tube is immersed in a liquid, as illustrated in Figure 10.20. If the liquid molecules are strongly attracted to the tube molecules, the liquid creeps up the inside of the tube until the weight of the liquid and the adhesive forces are in balance. The smaller the diameter of the tube is, the higher the liquid climbs. It is partly by capillary action occurring in plant cells called xylem that water and dissolved nutrients are brought from the soil up through the roots and into a plant. Capillary action is the basis for thin layer chromatography, a laboratory technique commonly used to separate small quantities of mixtures. You depend on a constant supply of tears to keep your eyes lubricated and on capillary action to pump tear fluid away.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.20 Depending upon the relative strengths of adhesive and cohesive forces, a liquid may rise (such as water) or fall (such as mercury) in a glass capillary tube. The extent of the rise (or fall) is directly proportional to the surface tension of the liquid and inversely proportional to the density of the liquid and the radius of the tube.\n\nThe height to which a liquid will rise in a capillary tube is determined by several factors as shown in the\nfollowing equation:\n\n$$\nh=\\frac{2 T \\cos \\theta}{r \\rho g}\n$$\n\nIn this equation, $h$ is the height of the liquid inside the capillary tube relative to the surface of the liquid outside the tube, $T$ is the surface tension of the liquid, $\\theta$ is the contact angle between the liquid and the tube, $r$ is the radius of the tube, $\\rho$ is the density of the liquid, and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity, $9.8 \\mathrm{~m} / \\mathrm{s}^{2}$.

Biomedical Applications of Capillary Action - \nMany medical tests require drawing a small amount of blood, for example to determine the amount of glucose in someone with diabetes or the hematocrit level in an athlete. This procedure can be easily done because of capillary action, the ability of a liquid to flow up a small tube against gravity, as shown in Figure 10.21. When your finger is pricked, a drop of blood forms and holds together due to surface tension-the unbalanced intermolecular attractions at the surface of the drop. Then, when the open end of a narrowdiameter glass tube touches the drop of blood, the adhesive forces between the molecules in the blood and those at the glass surface draw the blood up the tube. How far the blood goes up the tube depends on the diameter of the tube (and the type of fluid). A small tube has a relatively large surface area for a given volume of blood, which results in larger (relative) attractive forces, allowing the blood to be drawn farther up the tube. The liquid itself is held together by its own cohesive forces. When the weight of the liquid in the tube generates a downward force equal to the upward force associated with capillary action, the liquid stops rising.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.21 Blood is collected for medical analysis by capillary action, which draws blood into a small diameter glass tube.

Vaporization and Condensation - \nWhen a liquid vaporizes in a closed container, gas molecules cannot escape. As these gas phase molecules move randomly about, they will occasionally collide with the surface of the condensed phase, and in some cases, these collisions will result in the molecules re-entering the condensed phase. The change from the gas phase to the liquid is called condensation. When the rate of condensation becomes equal to the rate of vaporization, neither the amount of the liquid nor the amount of the vapor in the container changes. The vapor in the container is then said to be in equilibrium with the liquid. Keep in mind that this is not a static situation, as molecules are continually exchanged between the condensed and gaseous phases. Such is an example of a dynamic equilibrium, the status of a system in which reciprocal processes (for example, vaporization and condensation) occur at equal rates. The pressure exerted by the vapor in equilibrium with a liquid in a closed container at a given temperature is called the liquid's vapor pressure (or equilibrium vapor pressure). The area of the surface of the liquid in contact with a vapor and the size of the vessel have no effect on the vapor pressure, although they do affect the time required for the equilibrium to be reached. We can measure the vapor pressure of a liquid by placing a sample in a closed container, like that illustrated in Figure 10.22 , and using a manometer to measure the increase in pressure that is due to the vapor in equilibrium with the condensed phase.\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\n(c)\n\nFIGURE 10.22 In a closed container, dynamic equilibrium is reached when (a) the rate of molecules escaping from\nthe liquid to become the gas (b) increases and eventually (c) equals the rate of gas molecules entering the liquid.

It also has the highest vapor pressure. Due to its smaller size, ethanol exhibits weaker dispersion forces than diethyl ether. However, ethanol is capable of hydrogen bonding and, therefore, exhibits stronger overall IMFs, which means that fewer molecules escape from the liquid at any given temperature, and so ethanol has a lower vapor pressure than diethyl ether. Water is much smaller than either of the previous substances and exhibits weaker dispersion forces, but its extensive hydrogen bonding provides stronger intermolecular attractions, fewer molecules escaping the liquid, and a lower vapor pressure than for either diethyl ether or ethanol. Ethylene glycol has two -OH groups, so, like water, it exhibits extensive hydrogen bonding. It is much larger than water and thus experiences larger London forces.

Melting and Freezing - \nWhen we heat a crystalline solid, we increase the average energy of its atoms, molecules, or ions and the solid gets hotter. At some point, the added energy becomes large enough to partially overcome the forces holding the molecules or ions of the solid in their fixed positions, and the solid begins the process of transitioning to the liquid state, or melting. At this point, the temperature of the solid stops rising, despite the continual input of heat, and it remains constant until all of the solid is melted.

Snow and ice sublime at temperatures below the melting point of water, a slow process that may be accelerated by winds and the reduced atmospheric pressures at high altitudes. When solid iodine is warmed, the solid sublimes and a vivid purple vapor forms (Figure 10.27).

As a result, the enthalpy of fusion for a substance is less than its enthalpy of vaporization. This same logic can be used to derive an approximate relation between the enthalpies of all phase changes for a given substance. Though not an entirely accurate description, sublimation may be conveniently modeled as a sequential two-step process of melting followed by vaporization in order to apply Hess's Law. Viewed in this manner, the enthalpy of sublimation for a substance may be estimated as the sum of its enthalpies of fusion and vaporization, as illustrated in Figure 10.28.

The relation applies to matter being heated or cooled, but not undergoing a change in state. When a substance being heated or cooled reaches a temperature corresponding to one of its phase transitions, further gain or loss of heat is a result of diminishing or enhancing intermolecular attractions, instead of increasing or decreasing molecular kinetic energies. While a substance is undergoing a change in state, its temperature remains constant. Figure 10.29 shows a typical heating curve.\n\nConsider the example of heating a pot of water to boiling. A stove burner will supply heat at a roughly constant rate; initially, this heat serves to increase the water's temperature. When the water reaches its boiling point, the temperature remains constant despite the continued input of heat from the stove burner. This same temperature is maintained by the water as long as it is boiling. If the burner setting is increased to provide heat at a greater rate, the water temperature does not rise, but instead the boiling becomes more vigorous (rapid). This behavior is observed for other phase transitions as well: For example, temperature remains constant while the change of state is in progress.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.29 A typical heating curve for a substance depicts changes in temperature that result as the substance absorbs increasing amounts of heat.

However, since many of the other 400-plus compounds that contribute to coffee's taste and aroma also dissolve in $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$, hot water decaffeination processes can also remove some of these compounds, adversely affecting the smell and taste of the decaffeinated coffee. Dichloromethane $\\left(\\mathrm{CH}_{2} \\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\\right)$ and ethyl acetate $\\left(\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{C}_{2} \\mathrm{H}_{5}\\right)$ have similar polarity to caffeine, and are therefore very effective solvents for caffeine extraction, but both also remove some flavor and aroma components, and their use requires long extraction and cleanup times. Because both of these solvents are toxic, health concerns have been raised regarding the effect of residual solvent remaining in the decaffeinated coffee."} {"id": 3610, "contents": "1133. Decaffeinating Coffee Using Supercritical $\\mathbf{C O}_{\\mathbf{2}}$ - \nSupercritical fluid extraction using carbon dioxide is now being widely used as a more effective and environmentally friendly decaffeination method (Figure 10.36). At temperatures above 304.2 K and pressures above $7376 \\mathrm{kPa}, \\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ is a supercritical fluid, with properties of both gas and liquid. Like a gas, it penetrates deep into the coffee beans; like a liquid, it effectively dissolves certain substances. Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of steamed coffee beans removes $97-99 \\%$ of the caffeine, leaving coffee's flavor and aroma compounds intact. Because $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ is a gas under standard conditions, its removal from the extracted coffee beans is easily accomplished, as is the recovery of the caffeine from the extract. The caffeine recovered from coffee beans via this process is a valuable product that can be used subsequently as an additive to other foods or drugs.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.36 (a) Caffeine molecules have both polar and nonpolar regions, making it soluble in solvents of varying polarities.

It is also possible for a liquid to freeze before its molecules become arranged in an orderly pattern. The resulting materials are called amorphous solids or noncrystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses). The particles of such solids lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged (Figure 10.37).\n\n\nFIGURE 10.37 The entities of a solid phase may be arranged in a regular, repeating pattern (crystalline solids) or\nrandomly (amorphous).\nMetals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. Substances that consist of large molecules, or a mixture of molecules whose movements are more restricted, often form amorphous solids. For examples, candle waxes are amorphous solids composed of large hydrocarbon molecules. Some substances, such as silicon dioxide (shown in Figure 10.38), can form either crystalline or amorphous solids, depending on the conditions under which it is produced. Also, amorphous solids may undergo a transition to the crystalline state under appropriate conditions.\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\nFIGURE 10.38 (a) Silicon dioxide, $\\mathrm{SiO}_{2}$, is abundant in nature as one of several crystalline forms of the mineral quartz. (b) Rapid cooling of molten $\\mathrm{SiO}_{2}$ yields an amorphous solid known as \"fused silica\".\n\nCrystalline solids are generally classified according to the nature of the forces that hold its particles together. These forces are primarily responsible for the physical properties exhibited by the bulk solids. The following sections provide descriptions of the major types of crystalline solids: ionic, metallic, covalent network, and molecular."} {"id": 3612, "contents": "1135. Ionic Solids - \nIonic solids, such as sodium chloride and nickel oxide, are composed of positive and negative ions that are held together by electrostatic attractions, which can be quite strong (Figure 10.39). Many ionic crystals also have high melting points. This is due to the very strong attractions between the ions-in ionic compounds, the attractions between full charges are (much) larger than those between the partial charges in polar molecular compounds. This will be looked at in more detail in a later discussion of lattice energies. Although they are hard, they also tend to be brittle, and they shatter rather than bend. Ionic solids do not conduct electricity; however, they do conduct when molten or dissolved because their ions are free to move. Many simple compounds formed by the reaction of a metallic element with a nonmetallic element are ionic.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.39 Sodium chloride is an ionic solid."} {"id": 3613, "contents": "1136. Metallic Solids - \nMetallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms Figure 10.40. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a \"sea\" of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties. All exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability. Many are very hard and quite strong. Because of their\nmalleability (the ability to deform under pressure or hammering), they do not shatter and, therefore, make useful construction materials. The melting points of the metals vary widely. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature, and the alkali metals melt below $200^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$. Several post-transition metals also have low melting points, whereas the transition metals melt at temperatures above $1000^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$. These differences reflect differences in strengths of metallic bonding among the metals.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.40 Copper is a metallic solid."} {"id": 3614, "contents": "1137. Covalent Network Solid - \nCovalent network solids include crystals of diamond, silicon, some other nonmetals, and some covalent compounds such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds. The atoms in these solids are held together by a network of covalent bonds, as shown in Figure 10.41. To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically characterized by hardness, strength, and high melting points. For example, diamond is one of the hardest substances known and melts above $3500^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.41 A covalent crystal contains a three-dimensional network of covalent bonds, as illustrated by the structures of diamond, silicon dioxide, silicon carbide, and graphite.

Small symmetrical molecules (nonpolar molecules), such as $\\mathrm{H}_{2}, \\mathrm{~N}_{2}, \\mathrm{O}_{2}$, and $\\mathrm{F}_{2}$, have weak attractive forces and form molecular solids with very low melting points (below $-200^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ ).

Molecular solids composed of molecules with permanent dipole moments (polar\nmolecules) melt at still higher temperatures.

Properties of Solids - \nA crystalline solid, like those listed in Table 10.4, has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Thus, the attractions between the units that make up the crystal all have the same strength and all require the same amount of energy to be broken. The gradual softening of an amorphous material differs dramatically from the distinct melting of a crystalline solid. This results from the structural nonequivalence of the molecules in the amorphous solid. Some forces are weaker than others, and when an amorphous material is heated, the weakest intermolecular attractions break first. As the temperature is increased further, the stronger attractions are broken. Thus amorphous materials soften over a range of temperatures.\n\nTypes of Crystalline Solids and Their Properties"} {"id": 3617, "contents": "1139.

Graphene: Material of the Future - \nCarbon is an essential element in our world. The unique properties of carbon atoms allow the existence of carbon-based life forms such as ourselves. Carbon forms a huge variety of substances that we use on a daily basis, including those shown in Figure 10.43. You may be familiar with diamond and graphite, the two most common allotropes of carbon. (Allotropes are different structural forms of the same element.) Diamond is one of the hardest-known substances, whereas graphite is soft enough to be used as pencil lead. These very different properties stem from the different arrangements of the carbon atoms in the different allotropes.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.43 Diamond is extremely hard because of the strong bonding between carbon atoms in all directions. Graphite (in pencil lead) rubs off onto paper due to the weak attractions between the carbon layers. An image of a graphite surface shows the distance between the centers of adjacent carbon atoms.

Crystal Defects - \nIn a crystalline solid, the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern, but occasional defects may occur in the pattern. Several types of defects are known, as illustrated in Figure 10.45. Vacancies are defects that occur when positions that should contain atoms or ions are vacant. Less commonly, some atoms or ions in a crystal may occupy positions, called interstitial sites, located between the regular positions for atoms. Other distortions are found in impure crystals, as, for example, when the cations, anions, or molecules of the impurity are too large to fit into the regular positions without distorting the structure. Trace amounts of impurities are sometimes added to a crystal (a process known as doping) in order to create defects in the structure that yield desirable changes in its properties. For example, silicon crystals are doped with varying amounts of different elements to yield suitable electrical properties for their use in the manufacture of semiconductors and computer chips.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.45 Types of crystal defects include vacancies, interstitial atoms, and substitutions impurities."} {"id": 3620, "contents": "1143.

A pure metal is a crystalline solid with metal atoms packed closely together in a repeating pattern.

The different properties of one metal compared to another partially depend on the sizes of their atoms and the specifics of their spatial arrangements. We will explore the similarities and differences of four of the most common metal crystal geometries in the sections that follow."} {"id": 3622, "contents": "1145. Unit Cells of Metals - \nThe structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions, as illustrated in Figure 10.46.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.46 A unit cell shows the locations of lattice points repeating in all directions.\nLet us begin our investigation of crystal lattice structure and unit cells with the most straightforward structure and the most basic unit cell. To visualize this, imagine taking a large number of identical spheres, such as tennis balls, and arranging them uniformly in a container. The simplest way to do this would be to make layers in which the spheres in one layer are directly above those in the layer below, as illustrated in Figure 10.47. This arrangement is called simple cubic structure, and the unit cell is called the simple cubic unit cell or primitive cubic unit cell.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.47 When metal atoms are arranged with spheres in one layer directly above or below spheres in another layer, the lattice structure is called simple cubic. Note that the spheres are in contact.\n\nIn a simple cubic structure, the spheres are not packed as closely as they could be, and they only \"fill\" about $52 \\%$ of the volume of the container. This is a relatively inefficient arrangement, and only one metal (polonium, Po) crystallizes in a simple cubic structure. As shown in Figure 10.48, a solid with this type of arrangement consists of planes (or layers) in which each atom contacts only the four nearest neighbors in its layer; one atom directly above it in the layer above; and one atom directly below it in the layer below. The number of other particles that each particle in a crystalline solid contacts is known as its coordination number. For a polonium atom in a simple cubic array, the coordination number is, therefore, six.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.48 An atom in a simple cubic lattice structure contacts six other atoms, so it has a coordination number of six."} {"id": 3623, "contents": "1145.

The Structures of Ionic Crystals - \nIonic crystals consist of two or more different kinds of ions that usually have different sizes. The packing of these ions into a crystal structure is more complex than the packing of metal atoms that are the same size.\n\nMost monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are\nsurrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite charge and (2) when the cations and anions are in contact with each other. Structures are determined by two principal factors: the relative sizes of the ions and the ratio of the numbers of positive and negative ions in the compound.\n\nIn simple ionic structures, we usually find the anions, which are normally larger than the cations, arranged in a closest-packed array. (As seen previously, additional electrons attracted to the same nucleus make anions larger and fewer electrons attracted to the same nucleus make cations smaller when compared to the atoms from which they are formed.) The smaller cations commonly occupy one of two types of holes (or interstices) remaining between the anions. The smaller of the holes is found between three anions in one plane and one anion in an adjacent plane. The four anions surrounding this hole are arranged at the corners of a tetrahedron, so the hole is called a tetrahedral hole. The larger type of hole is found at the center of six anions (three in one layer and three in an adjacent layer) located at the corners of an octahedron; this is called an octahedral hole. Figure 10.57 illustrates both of these types of holes.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.57 Cations may occupy two types of holes between anions: octahedral holes or tetrahedral holes.\nDepending on the relative sizes of the cations and anions, the cations of an ionic compound may occupy tetrahedral or octahedral holes, as illustrated in Figure 10.58. Relatively small cations occupy tetrahedral holes, and larger cations occupy octahedral holes. If the cations are too large to fit into the octahedral holes, the anions may adopt a more open structure, such as a simple cubic array. The larger cations can then occupy the larger cubic holes made possible by the more open spacing."} {"id": 3638, "contents": "1157.

X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring atoms in crystals (on the order of a few $\\AA$ ).\n\nWhen a beam of monochromatic X-rays strikes a crystal, its rays are scattered in all directions by the atoms within the crystal.

British chemist Rosalind Franklin made invaluable contributions to this monumental achievement through her work in measuring X-ray diffraction images of DNA. Early in her career, Franklin's research on the structure of coals proved helpful to the British war effort. After shifting her focus to biological systems in the early 1950s, Franklin and doctoral student Raymond Gosling discovered that DNA consists of two forms: a long, thin fiber formed when wet (type \"B\") and a short, wide fiber formed when dried (type \"A\"). Her X-ray diffraction images of DNA (Figure 10.66) provided the crucial information that allowed Watson and Crick to confirm that DNA forms a double helix, and to determine details of its size and structure. Franklin also conducted pioneering research on viruses and the RNA that contains their genetic information, uncovering new information that radically changed the body of knowledge in the field. After developing ovarian cancer, Franklin continued\nto work until her death in 1958 at age 37. Among many posthumous recognitions of her work, the Chicago Medical School of Finch University of Health Sciences changed its name to the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in 2004, and adopted an image of her famous X-ray diffraction image of DNA as its official university logo.\n\n\nFIGURE 10.66 This illustration shows an X-ray diffraction image similar to the one Franklin found in her research.

The properties of the different kinds of crystalline solids are due to the types of particles of which they consist, the arrangements of the particles, and the strengths of the attractions between them. Because their particles experience identical attractions, crystalline solids have distinct melting temperatures; the particles in amorphous solids experience a range of interactions, so they soften gradually and melt over a range of temperatures. Some crystalline solids have defects in the definite repeating pattern of their particles. These defects (which include vacancies, atoms or ions not in the regular positions, and impurities) change physical properties such as electrical conductivity, which is exploited in the silicon crystals used to manufacture computer chips."} {"id": 3672, "contents": "1185. Key Equations - 1185.6. Lattice Structures in Crystalline Solids\nThe structures of crystalline metals and simple ionic compounds can be described in terms of packing of spheres. Metal atoms can pack in hexagonal closestpacked structures, cubic closest-packed structures, body-centered structures, and simple cubic structures. The anions in simple ionic structures commonly adopt one of these structures, and the cations occupy the spaces remaining between the anions. Small cations usually occupy tetrahedral holes in a closest-packed array of anions. Larger cations usually occupy octahedral holes. Still larger cations can occupy cubic holes in a simple cubic array of anions. The structure of a solid can be described by indicating the size and shape of a unit cell and the contents of the cell.

They are being threatened by climate change, oceanic acidification, and water pollution, all of which change the composition of the solution known as seawater. Dissolved oxygen in seawater is critical for sea creatures, but as the oceans warm, oxygen becomes less soluble. As the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the oceans increases, contributing to oceanic acidification. Coral reefs are particularly sensitive to the acidification of the ocean, since the exoskeletons of the coral polyps are soluble in acidic solutions. Humans contribute to the changing of seawater composition by allowing agricultural runoff and other forms of pollution to affect our oceans.\n\nSolutions are crucial to the processes that sustain life and to many other processes involving chemical reactions.

Often, one component of a solution is present at a significantly greater concentration, in which case it is called the solvent. The other components of the solution present in relatively lesser concentrations are called solutes. Sugar is a covalent solid composed of sucrose molecules, $\\mathrm{C}_{12} \\mathrm{H}_{22} \\mathrm{O}_{11}$.

However, almost any gas, liquid, or solid can act as a solvent. Many alloys are solid solutions of one metal dissolved in another; for example, US five-cent coins contain nickel dissolved in copper. Air is a gaseous solution, a homogeneous mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and several other gases.

The Formation of Solutions - \nThe formation of a solution is an example of a spontaneous process, a process that occurs under specified conditions without the requirement of energy from some external source. Sometimes a mixture is stirred to speed up the dissolution process, but this is not necessary; a homogeneous solution will form eventually. The topic of spontaneity is critically important to the study of chemical thermodynamics and is treated more thoroughly in a later chapter of this text. For purposes of this chapter's discussion, it will suffice to consider two criteria that favor, but do not guarantee, the spontaneous formation of a solution:\n\n1. a decrease in the internal energy of the system (an exothermic change, as discussed in the previous chapter on thermochemistry)\n2. an increased dispersal of matter in the system (which indicates an increase in the entropy of the system, as you will learn about in the later chapter on thermodynamics)\n\nIn the process of dissolution, an internal energy change often, but not always, occurs as heat is absorbed or evolved. An increase in matter dispersal always results when a solution forms from the uniform distribution of solute molecules throughout a solvent.\n\nWhen the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon, which closely approach ideal behavior) is an example of an ideal solution, since the entities comprising these gases experience no significant intermolecular attractions.\n\n1 If bubbles of gas are observed within the liquid, the mixture is not homogeneous and, thus, not a solution.\n\nWhen containers of helium and argon are connected, the gases spontaneously mix due to diffusion and form a solution (Figure 11.3). The formation of this solution clearly involves an increase in matter dispersal, since the helium and argon atoms occupy a volume twice as large as that which each occupied before mixing.\n\n\nValve closed\n\n\nValve open"} {"id": 3700, "contents": "1191. The Formation of Solutions - \nValve closed\n\n\nValve open\n\nFIGURE 11.3 Samples of helium and argon spontaneously mix to give a solution.\nIdeal solutions may also form when structurally similar liquids are mixed. For example, mixtures of the alcohols methanol $\\left(\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{OH}\\right)$ and ethanol $\\left(\\mathrm{C}_{2} \\mathrm{H}_{5} \\mathrm{OH}\\right)$ form ideal solutions, as do mixtures of the hydrocarbons pentane, $\\mathrm{C}_{5} \\mathrm{H}_{12}$, and hexane, $\\mathrm{C}_{6} \\mathrm{H}_{14}$. Placing methanol and ethanol, or pentane and hexane, in the bulbs shown in Figure 11.3 will result in the same diffusion and subsequent mixing of these liquids as is observed for the He and Ar gases (although at a much slower rate), yielding solutions with no significant change in energy. Unlike a mixture of gases, however, the components of these liquid-liquid solutions do, indeed, experience intermolecular attractive forces. But since the molecules of the two substances being mixed are structurally very similar, the intermolecular attractive forces between like and unlike molecules are essentially the same, and the dissolution process, therefore, does not entail any appreciable increase or decrease in energy. These examples illustrate how increased matter dispersal alone can provide the driving force required to cause the spontaneous formation of a solution. In some cases, however, the relative magnitudes of intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species may prevent dissolution.\n\nThree types of intermolecular attractive forces are relevant to the dissolution process: solute-solute, solventsolvent, and solute-solvent. As illustrated in Figure 11.4, the formation of a solution may be viewed as a stepwise process in which energy is consumed to overcome solute-solute and solvent-solvent attractions (endothermic processes) and released when solute-solvent attractions are established (an exothermic process referred to as solvation). The relative magnitudes of the energy changes associated with these stepwise processes determine whether the dissolution process overall will release or absorb energy. In some cases, solutions do not form because the energy required to separate solute and solvent species is so much greater than the energy released by solvation."} {"id": 3701, "contents": "1191. The Formation of Solutions - \nFIGURE 11.4 This schematic representation of dissolution shows a stepwise process involving the endothermic separation of solute and solvent species (Steps 1 and 2) and exothermic solvation (Step 3).\n\nConsider the example of an ionic compound dissolving in water. Formation of the solution requires the electrostatic forces between the cations and anions of the compound (solute-solute) be overcome completely as attractive forces are established between these ions and water molecules (solute-solvent). Hydrogen bonding between a relatively small fraction of the water molecules must also be overcome to accommodate any dissolved solute. If the solute's electrostatic forces are significantly greater than the solvation forces, the dissolution process is significantly endothermic and the compound may not dissolve to an appreciable extent. Calcium carbonate, the major component of coral reefs, is one example of such an \"insoluble\" ionic compound (see Figure 11.1). On the other hand, if the solvation forces are much stronger than the compound's electrostatic forces, the dissolution is significantly exothermic and the compound may be highly soluble. A common example of this type of ionic compound is sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt.\n\nAs noted at the beginning of this module, spontaneous solution formation is favored, but not guaranteed, by exothermic dissolution processes. While many soluble compounds do, indeed, dissolve with the release of heat, some dissolve endothermically. Ammonium nitrate $\\left(\\mathrm{NH}_{4} \\mathrm{NO}_{3}\\right)$ is one such example and is used to make instant cold packs, like the one pictured in Figure 11.5, which are used for treating injuries. A thin-walled plastic bag of water is sealed inside a larger bag with solid $\\mathrm{NH}_{4} \\mathrm{NO}_{3}$. When the smaller bag is broken, a solution of $\\mathrm{NH}_{4} \\mathrm{NO}_{3}$ forms, absorbing heat from the surroundings (the injured area to which the pack is applied) and providing a cold compress that decreases swelling. Endothermic dissolutions such as this one require a greater energy input to separate the solute species than is recovered when the solutes are solvated, but they are spontaneous nonetheless due to the increase in disorder that accompanies formation of the solution."} {"id": 3702, "contents": "1191.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Define and give examples of electrolytes\n- Distinguish between the physical and chemical changes that accompany dissolution of ionic and covalent electrolytes\n- Relate electrolyte strength to solute-solvent attractive forces\n\nWhen some substances are dissolved in water, they undergo either a physical or a chemical change that yields ions in solution. These substances constitute an important class of compounds called electrolytes. Substances that do not yield ions when dissolved are called nonelectrolytes. If the physical or chemical process that generates the ions is essentially 100\\% efficient (all of the dissolved compound yields ions), then the substance is known as a strong electrolyte. If only a relatively small fraction of the dissolved substance undergoes the ion-producing process, it is called a weak electrolyte.\n\nSubstances may be identified as strong, weak, or nonelectrolytes by measuring the electrical conductance of an aqueous solution containing the substance. To conduct electricity, a substance must contain freely mobile, charged species. Most familiar is the conduction of electricity through metallic wires, in which case the mobile, charged entities are electrons. Solutions may also conduct electricity if they contain dissolved ions, with conductivity increasing as ion concentration increases. Applying a voltage to electrodes immersed in a solution permits assessment of the relative concentration of dissolved ions, either quantitatively, by measuring the electrical current flow, or qualitatively, by observing the brightness of a light bulb included in the circuit\n(Figure 11.6).\n\n\nacetic acid solution Low conductivity\n\nFIGURE 11.6 Solutions of nonelectrolytes such as ethanol do not contain dissolved ions and cannot conduct electricity.

Ionic Electrolytes - \nWater and other polar molecules are attracted to ions, as shown in Figure 11.7. The electrostatic attraction between an ion and a molecule with a dipole is called an ion-dipole attraction. These attractions play an important role in the dissolution of ionic compounds in water.\n\n\nFIGURE 11.7 As potassium chloride ( KCl ) dissolves in water, the ions are hydrated. The polar water molecules are attracted by the charges on the $\\mathrm{K}^{+}$and $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ions. Water molecules in front of and behind the ions are not shown.\n\nWhen ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution because water molecules surround and solvate the ions, reducing the strong electrostatic forces between them. This process represents a physical change known as dissociation. Under most conditions, ionic compounds will dissociate nearly completely when dissolved, and so they are classified as strong electrolytes. Even sparingly, soluble ionic compounds are strong electrolytes, since the small amount that does dissolve will dissociate completely.\n\nConsider what happens at the microscopic level when solid KCl is added to water. Ion-dipole forces attract the positive (hydrogen) end of the polar water molecules to the negative chloride ions at the surface of the solid, and they attract the negative (oxygen) ends to the positive potassium ions. The water molecules surround individual $\\mathrm{K}^{+}$and $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ions, reducing the strong interionic forces that bind the ions together and letting them move off into solution as solvated ions, as Figure 11.7 shows. Overcoming the electrostatic attraction permits the independent motion of each hydrated ion in a dilute solution as the ions transition from fixed positions in the undissolved compound to widely dispersed, solvated ions in solution."} {"id": 3706, "contents": "1195.

For example, pure hydrogen chloride is a gas consisting of covalent HCl molecules. This gas contains no ions. However, an aqueous solution of HCl is a very good conductor, indicating that an appreciable concentration of ions exists within the solution.\n\nBecause HCl is an acid, its molecules react with water, transferring $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$ions to form hydronium ions $\\left(\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{O}^{+}\\right)$and\nchloride ions $\\left(\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\\right)$:\n\n\nThis reaction is essentially $100 \\%$ complete for HCl (i.e., it is a strong acid and, consequently, a strong electrolyte). Likewise, weak acids and bases that only react partially generate relatively low concentrations of ions when dissolved in water and are classified as weak electrolytes.

You can repeat this process until the sugar concentration of the solution reaches its natural limit, a limit determined primarily by the relative strengths of the solute-solute, solute-solvent, and solventsolvent attractive forces discussed in the previous two modules of this chapter. You can be certain that you have reached this limit because, no matter how long you stir the solution, undissolved sugar remains. The concentration of sugar in the solution at this point is known as its solubility.\nThe solubility of a solute in a particular solvent is the maximum concentration that may be achieved under given conditions when the dissolution process is at equilibrium.\nWhen a solute's concentration is equal to its solubility, the solution is said to be saturated with that solute. If the solute's concentration is less than its solubility, the solution is said to be unsaturated.

Solutions of Gases in Liquids - \nAs for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the intermolecular attractive forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent (see Figure 11.4) since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solutesolvent interactions are the sole energetic factor affecting solubility. For example, the water solubility of\noxygen is approximately three times greater than that of helium (there are greater dispersion forces between water and the larger oxygen molecules) but 100 times less than the solubility of chloromethane, $\\mathrm{CHCl}_{3}$ (polar chloromethane molecules experience dipole-dipole attraction to polar water molecules). Likewise note the solubility of oxygen in hexane, $\\mathrm{C}_{6} \\mathrm{H}_{14}$, is approximately 20 times greater than it is in water because greater dispersion forces exist between oxygen and the larger hexane molecules.\n\nTemperature is another factor affecting solubility, with gas solubility typically decreasing as temperature increases (Figure 11.8). This inverse relation between temperature and dissolved gas concentration is responsible for one of the major impacts of thermal pollution in natural waters.\n\n\nFIGURE 11.8 The solubilities of these gases in water decrease as the temperature increases. All solubilities were measured with a constant pressure of 101.3 kPa ( 1 atm ) of gas above the solutions.\n\nWhen the temperature of a river, lake, or stream is raised, the solubility of oxygen in the water is decreased. Decreased levels of dissolved oxygen may have serious consequences for the health of the water's ecosystems and, in severe cases, can result in large-scale fish kills (Figure 11.9).\n\n(a)\n\n(b)"} {"id": 3711, "contents": "1198.

(credit a: modification of work by Liz West; credit b: modification of work by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service)\n\nThe solubility of a gaseous solute is also affected by the partial pressure of solute in the gas to which the\nsolution is exposed. Gas solubility increases as the pressure of the gas increases. Carbonated beverages provide a nice illustration of this relationship. The carbonation process involves exposing the beverage to a relatively high pressure of carbon dioxide gas and then sealing the beverage container, thus saturating the beverage with $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ at this pressure. When the beverage container is opened, a familiar hiss is heard as the carbon dioxide gas pressure is released, and some of the dissolved carbon dioxide is typically seen leaving solution in the form of small bubbles (Figure 11.10). At this point, the beverage is supersaturated with carbon dioxide and, with time, the dissolved carbon dioxide concentration will decrease to its equilibrium value and the beverage will become \"flat.\"\n\n\nFIGURE 11.10 Opening the bottle of carbonated beverage reduces the pressure of the gaseous carbon dioxide above the beverage. The solubility of $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ is thus lowered, and some dissolved carbon dioxide may be seen leaving the solution as small gas bubbles.

Decompression Sickness or \"The Bends\" - \nDecompression sickness (DCS), or \"the bends,\" is an effect of the increased pressure of the air inhaled by scuba divers when swimming underwater at considerable depths. In addition to the pressure exerted by the atmosphere, divers are subjected to additional pressure due to the water above them, experiencing an increase of approximately 1 atm for each 10 m of depth. Therefore, the air inhaled by a diver while submerged contains gases at the corresponding higher ambient pressure, and the concentrations of the gases dissolved in the diver's blood are proportionally higher per Henry's law.\n\nAs the diver ascends to the surface of the water, the ambient pressure decreases and the dissolved gases becomes less soluble. If the ascent is too rapid, the gases escaping from the diver's blood may form bubbles that can cause a variety of symptoms ranging from rashes and joint pain to paralysis and death. To avoid DCS, divers must ascend from depths at relatively slow speeds ( 10 or $20 \\mathrm{~m} / \\mathrm{min}$ ) or otherwise make several decompression stops, pausing for several minutes at given depths during the ascent. When these preventive measures are unsuccessful, divers with DCS are often provided hyperbaric oxygen therapy in pressurized vessels called decompression (or recompression) chambers (Figure 11.11). Researchers are also investigating related body reactions and defenses in order to develop better testing and treatment for decompression sicknetss. For example, Ingrid Eftedal, a barophysiologist specializing in bodily reactions to diving, has shown that white blood cells undergo chemical and genetic changes as a result of the condition; these can potentially be used to create biomarker tests and other methods to manage decompression sickness.\n\n\nFIGURE 11.11 (a) US Navy divers undergo training in a recompression chamber. (b) Divers receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy.\n\nDeviations from Henry's law are observed when a chemical reaction takes place between the gaseous solute and the solvent. Thus, for example, the solubility of ammonia in water increases more rapidly with increasing pressure than predicted by the law because ammonia, being a base, reacts to some extent with water to form ammonium ions and hydroxide ions."} {"id": 3721, "contents": "1210. Decompression Sickness or \"The Bends\" - \nGases can form supersaturated solutions. If a solution of a gas in a liquid is prepared either at low temperature or under pressure (or both), then as the solution warms or as the gas pressure is reduced, the solution may become supersaturated. In 1986, more than 1700 people in Cameroon were killed when a cloud of gas, almost certainly carbon dioxide, bubbled from Lake Nyos (Figure 11.12), a deep lake in a volcanic crater. The water at the bottom of Lake Nyos is saturated with carbon dioxide by volcanic activity beneath the lake. It is believed\nthat the lake underwent a turnover due to gradual heating from below the lake, and the warmer, less-dense water saturated with carbon dioxide reached the surface. Consequently, tremendous quantities of dissolved $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ were released, and the colorless gas, which is denser than air, flowed down the valley below the lake and suffocated humans and animals living in the valley.\n\n\nFIGURE 11.12 (a) It is believed that the 1986 disaster that killed more than 1700 people near Lake Nyos in Cameroon resulted when a large volume of carbon dioxide gas was released from the lake.

Solutions of Liquids in Liquids - \nSome liquids may be mixed in any proportions to yield solutions; in other words, they have infinite mutual solubility and are said to be miscible. Ethanol, sulfuric acid, and ethylene glycol (popular for use as antifreeze, pictured in Figure 11.13) are examples of liquids that are completely miscible with water. Two-cycle motor oil is miscible with gasoline, mixtures of which are used as lubricating fuels for various types of outdoor power equipment (chainsaws, leaf blowers, and so on).\n\n\nFIGURE 11.13 Water and antifreeze are miscible; mixtures of the two are homogeneous in all proportions. (credit: \"dno1967\"/Wikimedia commons)\n\nMiscible liquids are typically those with very similar polarities. Consider, for example, liquids that are polar or capable of hydrogen bonding. For such liquids, the dipole-dipole attractions (or hydrogen bonding) of the solute molecules with the solvent molecules are at least as strong as those between molecules in the pure solute or in the pure solvent. Hence, the two kinds of molecules mix easily. Likewise, nonpolar liquids are miscible with each other because there is no appreciable difference in the strengths of solute-solute, solventsolvent, and solute-solvent intermolecular attractions. The solubility of polar molecules in polar solvents and of nonpolar molecules in nonpolar solvents is, again, an illustration of the chemical axiom \"like dissolves like.\"\n\nTwo liquids that do not mix to an appreciable extent are called immiscible. Separate layers are formed when immiscible liquids are poured into the same container. Gasoline, oil (Figure 11.14), benzene, carbon tetrachloride, some paints, and many other nonpolar liquids are immiscible with water. Relatively weak attractive forces between the polar water molecules and the nonpolar liquid molecules are not adequate to overcome much stronger hydrogen bonding between water molecules. The distinction between immiscibility and miscibility is really one of extent, so that miscible liquids are of infinite mutual solubility, while liquids said to be immiscible are of very low (though not zero) mutual solubility."} {"id": 3723, "contents": "1211.

Two partially miscible liquids usually form two layers when mixed. In the case of the bromine and water mixture, the upper layer is water, saturated with bromine, and the lower layer is bromine saturated with water. Since bromine is nonpolar, and, thus, not very soluble in water, the water layer is only slightly discolored by the bright orange bromine dissolved in it. Since the solubility of water in bromine is very low, there is no noticeable effect on the dark color of the bromine layer (Figure 11.15).\n\n\nFIGURE 11.15 Bromine (the deep orange liquid on the left) and water (the clear liquid in the middle) are partially miscible.

A solution may be saturated with the compound at an elevated temperature (where the solute is more soluble) and subsequently cooled to a lower temperature without precipitating the solute. The resultant solution contains solute at a concentration greater than its equilibrium solubility at the lower temperature (i.e., it is supersaturated) and is relatively stable. Precipitation of the excess solute can be initiated by adding a seed crystal (see the video in the Link to Learning earlier in this module) or by mechanically agitating the solution.

There are a few solution properties, however, that depend only upon the total concentration of solute species, regardless of their identities.

This phenomenon can be rationalized by considering the effect of added solute molecules on the liquid's vaporization and condensation processes. To vaporize, solvent molecules must be present at the surface of the solution. The presence of solute decreases the surface area available to solvent molecules and thereby reduces the rate of solvent vaporization. Since the rate of condensation is unaffected by the presence of solute, the net result is that the vaporization-condensation equilibrium is achieved with fewer solvent molecules in the vapor phase (i.e., at a lower vapor pressure) (Figure 11.18). While this interpretation is useful, it does not account for several important aspects of the colligative nature of vapor pressure lowering. A more rigorous explanation involves the property of entropy, a topic of discussion in a later text chapter on thermodynamics. For purposes of understanding the lowering of a liquid's vapor pressure, it is adequate to note that the more dispersed nature of matter in a solution, compared to separate solvent and solute phases, serves to effectively stabilize the solvent molecules and hinder their vaporization.

Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one equivalent to that of the surrounding atmosphere. The increase in boiling point observed when nonvolatile solute is dissolved in a solvent, $\\Delta T_{\\mathrm{b}}$, is called boiling point elevation and is directly proportional to the molal concentration of solute species:\n\n$$\n\\Delta T_{\\mathrm{b}}=K_{\\mathrm{b}} m\n$$\n\nwhere $K_{\\mathrm{b}}$ is the boiling point elevation constant, or the ebullioscopic constant and $m$ is the molal concentration (molality) of all solute species.\n\nBoiling point elevation constants are characteristic properties that depend on the identity of the solvent.

Colligative Properties and De-Icing - \nSodium chloride and its group 2 analogs calcium and magnesium chloride are often used to de-ice roadways and sidewalks, due to the fact that a solution of any one of these salts will have a freezing point lower than $0{ }^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, the freezing point of pure water. The group 2 metal salts are frequently mixed with the cheaper and more readily available sodium chloride (\"rock salt\") for use on roads, since they tend to be somewhat less corrosive than the NaCl , and they provide a larger depression of the freezing point, since they dissociate to yield three particles per formula unit, rather than two particles like the sodium chloride.\n\nBecause these ionic compounds tend to hasten the corrosion of metal, they would not be a wise choice to use in antifreeze for the radiator in your car or to de-ice a plane prior to takeoff. For these applications, covalent compounds, such as ethylene or propylene glycol, are often used. The glycols used in radiator fluid not only lower the freezing point of the liquid, but they elevate the boiling point, making the fluid useful in both winter and summer. Heated glycols are often sprayed onto the surface of airplanes prior to takeoff in inclement weather in the winter to remove ice that has already formed and prevent the formation of more ice, which would be particularly dangerous if formed on the control surfaces of the aircraft (Figure 11.22).\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\nFIGURE 11.22 Freezing point depression is exploited to remove ice from (a) roadways and (b) the control surfaces of aircraft."} {"id": 3764, "contents": "1255.

Consequently, at any given pressure, the solution's boiling point is observed at a higher temperature than that for the pure solvent, reflecting the boiling point elevation, $\\Delta T_{\\mathrm{b}}$, associated with the presence of nonvolatile solute. The solid-liquid curve for the solution is displaced left of that for the pure solvent, representing the freezing point depression, $\\Delta T_{\\mathrm{f}}$, that accompanies solution formation. Finally, notice that the solid-gas curves for the solvent and its solution are identical. This is the case for many solutions comprising liquid solvents and nonvolatile solutes. Just as for vaporization, when a solution of this sort is frozen, it is actually just the solvent molecules that\nundergo the liquid-to-solid transition, forming pure solid solvent that excludes solute species. The solid and gaseous phases, therefore, are composed of solvent only, and so transitions between these phases are not subject to colligative effects."} {"id": 3765, "contents": "1256. Osmosis and Osmotic Pressure of Solutions - \nA number of natural and synthetic materials exhibit selective permeation, meaning that only molecules or ions of a certain size, shape, polarity, charge, and so forth, are capable of passing through (permeating) the material. Biological cell membranes provide elegant examples of selective permeation in nature, while dialysis tubing used to remove metabolic wastes from blood is a more simplistic technological example. Regardless of how they may be fabricated, these materials are generally referred to as semipermeable membranes.\n\nConsider the apparatus illustrated in Figure 11.24, in which samples of pure solvent and a solution are separated by a membrane that only solvent molecules may permeate. Solvent molecules will diffuse across the membrane in both directions. Since the concentration of solvent is greater in the pure solvent than the solution, these molecules will diffuse from the solvent side of the membrane to the solution side at a faster rate than they will in the reverse direction. The result is a net transfer of solvent molecules from the pure solvent to the solution. Diffusion-driven transfer of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane is a process known as osmosis.\n\n\nFIGURE 11.24 (a) A solution and pure solvent are initially separated by an osmotic membrane. (b) Net transfer of solvent molecules to the solution occurs until its osmotic pressure yields equal rates of transfer in both directions.\n\nWhen osmosis is carried out in an apparatus like that shown in Figure 11.24, the volume of the solution increases as it becomes diluted by accumulation of solvent. This causes the level of the solution to rise, increasing its hydrostatic pressure (due to the weight of the column of solution in the tube) and resulting in a faster transfer of solvent molecules back to the pure solvent side. When the pressure reaches a value that yields a reverse solvent transfer rate equal to the osmosis rate, bulk transfer of solvent ceases. This pressure is called the osmotic pressure ( $\\boldsymbol{\\Pi}$ ) of the solution. The osmotic pressure of a dilute solution is related to its solute molarity, $M$, and absolute temperature, $T$, according to the equation\n\n$$\n\\Pi=M R T\n$$\n\nwhere $R$ is the universal gas constant."} {"id": 3766, "contents": "1258.

Reverse Osmosis Water Purification - \nIn the process of osmosis, diffusion serves to move water through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution. Osmotic pressure is the amount of pressure that must be applied to the more concentrated solution to cause osmosis to stop. If greater pressure is applied, the water will go from the more concentrated solution to a less concentrated (more pure) solution. This is called reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis (RO) is used to purify water in many applications, from desalination plants in coastal cities, to water-purifying machines in grocery stores (Figure 11.26), and smaller reverse-osmosis household units. With a hand-operated pump, small RO units can be used in third-world countries, disaster areas, and in lifeboats.

Reverse Osmosis Water Purification - \nExamples of osmosis are evident in many biological systems because cells are surrounded by semipermeable membranes. Carrots and celery that have become limp because they have lost water can be made crisp again by placing them in water. Water moves into the carrot or celery cells by osmosis. A cucumber placed in a concentrated salt solution loses water by osmosis and absorbs some salt to become a pickle. Osmosis can also affect animal cells. Solute concentrations are particularly important when solutions are injected into the body. Solutes in body cell fluids and blood serum give these solutions an osmotic pressure of approximately 7.7 atm . Solutions injected into the body must have the same osmotic pressure as blood serum; that is, they should be isotonic with blood serum. If a less concentrated solution, a hypotonic solution, is injected in sufficient quantity to dilute the blood serum, water from the diluted serum passes into the blood cells by osmosis, causing the cells to expand and rupture. This process is called hemolysis. When a more concentrated solution, a hypertonic solution, is injected, the cells lose water to the more concentrated solution, shrivel, and possibly die in a process called crenation. These effects are illustrated in Figure 11.27.\n\n\nFIGURE 11.27 Red blood cell membranes are water permeable and will (a) swell and possibly rupture in a hypotonic solution; (b) maintain normal volume and shape in an isotonic solution; and (c) shrivel and possibly die in a hypertonic solution.

They suggested that although interionic attraction in an aqueous solution is very greatly reduced by solvation of the ions and the insulating action of the polar solvent, it is not completely nullified. The residual attractions prevent the ions from behaving as totally independent particles (Figure 11.28). In some cases, a positive and negative ion may actually touch, giving a solvated unit called an ion pair. Thus, the activity, or the effective concentration, of any particular kind of ion is less than that indicated by the actual concentration. Ions become more and more widely separated the more dilute the solution, and the residual interionic attractions become less and less. Thus, in extremely dilute solutions, the effective concentrations of the ions (their activities) are essentially equal to the actual concentrations. Note that the van't Hoff factors for the electrolytes in Table 11.3 are for 0.05 m solutions, at which concentration the value of $i$ for NaCl is 1.9 , as opposed to an ideal value of 2 .\n\n\nFIGURE 11.28 Dissociation of ionic compounds in water is not always complete due to the formation of ion pairs."} {"id": 3784, "contents": "1277.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Describe the composition and properties of colloidal dispersions\n- List and explain several technological applications of colloids\n\nAs a child, you may have made suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water, known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles that are visible (or that can be seen with a magnifying glass). They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. On the other hand, a solution is a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs and in which the dissolved species are molecules or ions. Solutions exhibit completely different behavior from suspensions. A solution may be colored, but it is transparent, the molecules or ions are invisible, and they do not settle out on standing. Another class of mixtures called colloids (or colloidal dispersions) exhibit properties intermediate between those of suspensions and solutions (Figure 11.29). The particles in a colloid are larger than most simple molecules;\nhowever, colloidal particles are small enough that they do not settle out upon standing.\n\n\nFIGURE 11.29 (a) A solution is a homogeneous mixture that appears clear, such as the saltwater in this aquarium. (b) In a colloid, such as milk, the particles are much larger but remain dispersed and do not settle. (c) A suspension, such as mud, is a heterogeneous mixture of suspended particles that appears cloudy and in which the particles can settle. (credit a photo: modification of work by Adam Wimsatt; credit b photo: modification of work by Melissa Wiese; credit c photo: modification of work by Peter Burgess)\n\nThe particles in a colloid are large enough to scatter light, a phenomenon called the Tyndall effect. This can make colloidal mixtures appear cloudy or opaque, such as the searchlight beams shown in Figure 11.30. Clouds are colloidal mixtures. They are composed of water droplets that are much larger than molecules, but that are small enough that they do not settle out.\n\n\nFIGURE 11.30 The paths of searchlight beams are made visible when light is scattered by colloidal-size particles in the air (fog, smoke, etc.).

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nFIGURE 11.30 The paths of searchlight beams are made visible when light is scattered by colloidal-size particles in the air (fog, smoke, etc.).

Many colloidal particles are aggregates of hundreds or thousands of molecules, but others (such as proteins and polymer molecules) consist of a single extremely large molecule. The protein and synthetic polymer molecules that form colloids may have molecular masses ranging from a few thousand to many million atomic mass units.\n\nAnalogous to the identification of solution components as \"solute\" and \"solvent,\" the components of a colloid are likewise classified according to their relative amounts. The particulate component typically present in a relatively minor amount is called the dispersed phase and the substance or solution throughout which the particulate is dispersed is called the dispersion medium. Colloids may involve virtually any combination of physical states (gas in liquid, liquid in solid, solid in gas, etc.), as illustrated by the examples of colloidal systems given in Table 11.4.\n\nExamples of Colloidal Systems\n\n| Dispersed Phase | Dispersion Medium | Common Examples | Name |\n| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |\n| solid | gas | smoke, dust | - |\n| solid | liquid | starch in water, some inks, paints, milk of magnesia | sol |\n| solid | solid | some colored gems, some alloys | - |\n| liquid | liquid | clouds, fogs, mists, sprays | aerosol |\n| liquid | solid | milk, mayonnaise, butter | emulsion |\n| liquid | jellies, gels, pearl, opal $\\left(\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}\\right.$ in $\\left.\\mathrm{SiO}_{2}\\right)$ | gel | |\n\nTABLE 11.4\n\n| Dispersed Phase | Dispersion Medium | Common Examples | Name |\n| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |\n| gas | liquid | foams, whipped cream, beaten egg whites | foam |\n| gas | solid | pumice, floating soaps | - |"} {"id": 3790, "contents": "1281. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nTABLE 11.4"} {"id": 3791, "contents": "1282. Preparation of Colloidal Systems - \nColloids are prepared by producing particles of colloidal dimensions and distributing these particles throughout a dispersion medium. Particles of colloidal size are formed by two methods:\n\n1. Dispersion methods: breaking down larger particles. For example, paint pigments are produced by dispersing large particles by grinding in special mills.\n2. Condensation methods: growth from smaller units, such as molecules or ions. For example, clouds form when water molecules condense and form very small droplets.\n\nA few solid substances, when brought into contact with water, disperse spontaneously and form colloidal systems. Gelatin, glue, starch, and dehydrated milk powder behave in this manner. The particles are already of colloidal size; the water simply disperses them. Powdered milk particles of colloidal size are produced by dehydrating milk spray. Some atomizers produce colloidal dispersions of a liquid in air.\n\nAn emulsion may be prepared by shaking together or blending two immiscible liquids. This breaks one liquid into droplets of colloidal size, which then disperse throughout the other liquid. Oil spills in the ocean may be difficult to clean up, partly because wave action can cause the oil and water to form an emulsion. In many emulsions, however, the dispersed phase tends to coalesce, form large drops, and separate. Therefore, emulsions are usually stabilized by an emulsifying agent, a substance that inhibits the coalescence of the dispersed liquid. For example, a little soap will stabilize an emulsion of kerosene in water. Milk is an emulsion of butterfat in water, with the protein casein serving as the emulsifying agent. Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil in vinegar, with egg yolk components as the emulsifying agents.\n\nCondensation methods form colloidal particles by aggregation of molecules or ions. If the particles grow beyond the colloidal size range, drops or precipitates form, and no colloidal system results. Clouds form when water molecules aggregate and form colloid-sized particles. If these water particles coalesce to form adequately large water drops of liquid water or crystals of solid water, they settle from the sky as rain, sleet, or snow. Many condensation methods involve chemical reactions.

Soaps and Detergents - \nPioneers made soap by boiling fats with a strongly basic solution made by leaching potassium carbonate, $\\mathrm{K}_{2} \\mathrm{CO}_{3}$, from wood ashes with hot water. Animal fats contain polyesters of fatty acids (long-chain carboxylic acids). When animal fats are treated with a base like potassium carbonate or sodium hydroxide, glycerol and salts of fatty acids such as palmitic, oleic, and stearic acid are formed. The salts of fatty acids are called soaps. The sodium salt of stearic acid, sodium stearate, has the formula $\\mathrm{C}_{17} \\mathrm{H}_{35} \\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{Na}$ and contains an uncharged nonpolar hydrocarbon chain, the $\\mathrm{C}_{17} \\mathrm{H}_{35}$ - unit, and an ionic carboxylate group, the $-\\mathrm{CO}_{2}{ }^{-}$unit (Figure 11.31).\n\n\nsodium stearate (soap)\nFIGURE 11.31 Soaps contain a nonpolar hydrocarbon end (blue) and an ionic end (red).

Soaps and Detergents - \nThe cleaning action of soaps and detergents can be explained in terms of the structures of the molecules involved. The hydrocarbon (nonpolar) end of a soap or detergent molecule dissolves in, or is attracted to, nonpolar substances such as oil, grease, or dirt particles. The ionic end is attracted by water (polar), illustrated in Figure 11.33. As a result, the soap or detergent molecules become oriented at the interface between the dirt particles and the water so they act as a kind of bridge between two different kinds of matter, nonpolar and polar. Molecules such as this are termed amphiphilic since they have both a hydrophobic (\"water-fearing\") part and a hydrophilic (\"water-loving\") part. As a consequence, dirt particles become suspended as colloidal particles and are readily washed away.\n\n\nFIGURE 11.33 This diagrammatic cross section of an emulsified drop of oil in water shows how soap or detergent acts as an emulsifier."} {"id": 3795, "contents": "1285. Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill - \nThe blowout of the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig on April 20, 2010, in the Gulf of Mexico near Mississippi began the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. In the 87 days following the blowout, an estimated 4.9 million barrels ( 210 million gallons) of oil flowed from the ruptured well 5000 feet below the water's surface. The well was finally declared sealed on September 19, 2010.\n\nCrude oil is immiscible with and less dense than water, so the spilled oil rose to the surface of the water.\n\nFloating booms, skimmer ships, and controlled burns were used to remove oil from the water's surface in an attempt to protect beaches and wetlands along the Gulf coast. In addition to removal of the oil, attempts were also made to lessen its environmental impact by rendering it \"soluble\" (in the loose sense of the term) and thus allowing it to be diluted to hopefully less harmful levels by the vast volume of ocean water. This approach used 1.84 million gallons of the oil dispersant Corexit 9527, most of which was injected underwater at the site of the leak, with small amounts being sprayed on top of the spill. Corexit 9527 contains 2-butoxyethanol $\\left(\\mathrm{C}_{6} \\mathrm{H}_{14} \\mathrm{O}_{2}\\right)$, an amphiphilic molecule whose polar and nonpolar ends are useful for emulsifying oil into small droplets, increasing the surface area of the oil and making it more available to marine bacteria for digestion (Figure 11.34). While this approach avoids many of the immediate hazards that bulk oil poses to marine and coastal ecosystems, it introduces the possibility of long-term effects resulting from the introduction of the complex and potential toxic components of petroleum into the ocean's food chain. A number of organizations are involved in monitoring the extended impact of this oil spill, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (visit this website (http://openstax.org/l/16gulfspill) for additional details)."} {"id": 3796, "contents": "1285.

Electrical Properties of Colloidal Particles - \nDispersed colloidal particles are often electrically charged. A colloidal particle of iron(III) hydroxide, for example, does not contain enough hydroxide ions to compensate exactly for the positive charges on the iron(III) ions. Thus, each individual colloidal particle bears a positive charge, and the colloidal dispersion consists of charged colloidal particles and some free hydroxide ions, which keep the dispersion electrically neutral. Most metal hydroxide colloids have positive charges, whereas most metals and metal sulfides form negatively charged dispersions. All colloidal particles in any one system have charges of the same sign. This helps keep them dispersed because particles containing like charges repel each other.\n\nThe charged nature of some colloidal particles may be exploited to remove them from a variety of mixtures. For example, the particles comprising smoke are often colloidally dispersed and electrically charged.\nFrederick Cottrell, an American chemist, developed a process to remove these particles. The charged particles are attracted to highly charged electrodes, where they are neutralized and deposited as dust (Figure 11.36). This is one of the important methods used to clean up the smoke from a variety of industrial processes. The process is also important in the recovery of valuable products from the smoke and flue dust of smelters, furnaces, and kilns.

Electrolytes may be covalent compounds that chemically react with water to produce ions (for example, acids and bases), or they may be ionic compounds that dissociate to yield their constituent cations and anions, when dissolved. Dissolution of an ionic compound is facilitated by ion-dipole attractions between the ions of the compound and the polar water molecules. Soluble ionic substances and strong acids ionize completely and are strong electrolytes, while weak acids and bases ionize to only a small extent and are weak electrolytes. Nonelectrolytes are substances that do not produce ions when dissolved in water."} {"id": 3805, "contents": "1291. Summary - 1291.3. Solubility\nThe extent to which one substance will dissolve in another is determined by several factors, including the types and relative strengths of intermolecular attractive forces that may exist between the substances' atoms, ions, or molecules. This tendency to dissolve is quantified as a substance's solubility, its maximum concentration in a solution at equilibrium under specified conditions. A\nsaturated solution contains solute at a concentration equal to its solubility. A supersaturated solution is one in which a solute's concentration exceeds its solubility-a nonequilibrium (unstable) condition that will result in solute precipitation when the solution is appropriately perturbed. Miscible liquids are soluble in all proportions, and immiscible liquids exhibit very low mutual solubility. Solubilities for gaseous solutes decrease with increasing temperature, while those for most, but not all, solid solutes increase with temperature.

The magnitudes of these properties depend only on the total concentration of solute particles in solution, not on the type of particles. The total concentration of solute particles in a solution also determines its osmotic pressure. This is the pressure that must be applied to the solution to prevent diffusion of molecules of pure solvent through a semipermeable membrane into the solution.

Thermodynamics, the study of relationships between the energy and work associated with chemical and physical processes, provides this predictive ability. Previous chapters in this text have described various applications of thermochemistry, an important aspect of thermodynamics concerned with the heat flow accompanying chemical reactions and phase transitions. This chapter will introduce additional thermodynamic concepts, including those that enable the prediction of any chemical or physical changes under a given set of conditions."} {"id": 3826, "contents": "1295. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Distinguish between spontaneous and nonspontaneous processes\n- Describe the dispersal of matter and energy that accompanies certain spontaneous processes\n\nProcesses have a natural tendency to occur in one direction under a given set of conditions. Water will naturally flow downhill, but uphill flow requires outside intervention such as the use of a pump. Iron exposed to the earth's atmosphere will corrode, but rust is not converted to iron without intentional chemical treatment. A spontaneous process is one that occurs naturally under certain conditions. A nonspontaneous process, on the other hand, will not take place unless it is \"driven\" by the continual input of energy from an external source. A process that is spontaneous in one direction under a particular set of conditions is nonspontaneous in the reverse direction. At room temperature and typical atmospheric pressure, for example, ice will spontaneously melt, but water will not spontaneously freeze.\n\nThe spontaneity of a process is not correlated to the speed of the process. A spontaneous change may be so rapid that it is essentially instantaneous or so slow that it cannot be observed over any practical period of time. To illustrate this concept, consider the decay of radioactive isotopes, a topic more thoroughly treated in the chapter on nuclear chemistry. Radioactive decay is by definition a spontaneous process in which the nuclei of unstable isotopes emit radiation as they are converted to more stable nuclei. All the decay processes occur spontaneously, but the rates at which different isotopes decay vary widely. Technetium-99m is a popular radioisotope for medical imaging studies that undergoes relatively rapid decay and exhibits a half-life of about six hours. Uranium-238 is the most abundant isotope of uranium, and its decay occurs much more slowly, exhibiting a half-life of more than four billion years (Figure 12.2).\n\n\nFIGURE 12.2 Both U-238 and Tc-99m undergo spontaneous radioactive decay, but at drastically different rates. Over the course of one week, essentially all of a Tc-99m sample and none of a U-238 sample will have decayed.\n\nAs another example, consider the conversion of diamond into graphite (Figure 12.3).\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{C}(s, \\text { diamond }) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{C}(s, \\text { graphite })\n$$"} {"id": 3827, "contents": "1295. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nAs another example, consider the conversion of diamond into graphite (Figure 12.3).\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{C}(s, \\text { diamond }) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{C}(s, \\text { graphite })\n$$\n\nThe phase diagram for carbon indicates that graphite is the stable form of this element under ambient atmospheric pressure, while diamond is the stable allotrope at very high pressures, such as those present during its geologic formation. Thermodynamic calculations of the sort described in the last section of this chapter indicate that the conversion of diamond to graphite at ambient pressure occurs spontaneously, yet diamonds are observed to exist, and persist, under these conditions. Though the process is spontaneous under typical ambient conditions, its rate is extremely slow; so, for all practical purposes diamonds are indeed \"forever.\" Situations such as these emphasize the important distinction between the thermodynamic and the kinetic aspects of a process. In this particular case, diamonds are said to be thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable under ambient conditions.\n\n\nFIGURE 12.3 The conversion of carbon from the diamond allotrope to the graphite allotrope is spontaneous at ambient pressure, but its rate is immeasurably slow at low to moderate temperatures. This process is known as graphitization, and its rate can be increased to easily measurable values at temperatures in the 1000-2000 K range.

Dispersal of Matter and Energy - \nExtending the discussion of thermodynamic concepts toward the objective of predicting spontaneity, consider now an isolated system consisting of two flasks connected with a closed valve. Initially there is an ideal gas in one flask and the other flask is empty $(P=0)$. (Figure 12.4). When the valve is opened, the gas spontaneously expands to fill both flasks equally. Recalling the definition of pressure-volume work from the chapter on thermochemistry, note that no work has been done because the pressure in a vacuum is zero.\n\n$$\nw=-P \\Delta V=0 \\quad(P=0 \\text { in a vacuum })\n$$\n\nNote as well that since the system is isolated, no heat has been exchanged with the surroundings ( $q=0$ ). The first law of thermodynamics confirms that there has been no change in the system's internal energy as a result of this process.\n\n$$\n\\Delta U=q+w=0+0=0\n$$\n\nThe spontaneity of this process is therefore not a consequence of any change in energy that accompanies the process. Instead, the driving force appears to be related to the greater, more uniform dispersal of matter that results when the gas is allowed to expand. Initially, the system was comprised of one flask containing matter and another flask containing nothing. After the spontaneous expansion took place, the matter was distributed both more widely (occupying twice its original volume) and more uniformly (present in equal amounts in each flask).\n\n\nFIGURE 12.4 An isolated system consists of an ideal gas in one flask that is connected by a closed valve to a\nsecond flask containing a vacuum. Once the valve is opened, the gas spontaneously becomes evenly distributed between the flasks.\n\nNow consider two objects at different temperatures: object X at temperature $T_{\\mathrm{X}}$ and object Y at temperature $T_{\\mathrm{Y}}$, with $T_{\\mathrm{X}}>T_{\\mathrm{Y}}$ (Figure 12.5). When these objects come into contact, heat spontaneously flows from the hotter object $(\\mathrm{X})$ to the colder one $(\\mathrm{Y})$.

A later review of Carnot's findings by Rudolf Clausius introduced a new thermodynamic property that relates the spontaneous heat flow accompanying a process to the temperature at which the process takes place. This new property was expressed as the ratio of the reversible heat ( $q_{\\mathrm{rev}}$ ) and the kelvin temperature ( $T$ ). In thermodynamics, a reversible process is one that takes place at such a slow rate that it is always at equilibrium and its direction can be changed (it can be \"reversed\") by an infinitesimally small change in some condition. Note that the idea of a reversible process is a formalism required to support the development of various thermodynamic concepts; no real processes are truly reversible, rather they are classified as irreversible.\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\nFIGURE 12.7 (a) Nicholas L\u00e9onard Sadi Carnot's research into steam-powered machinery and (b) Rudolf Clausius's later study of those findings led to groundbreaking discoveries about spontaneous heat flow processes.\n\nSimilar to other thermodynamic properties, this new quantity is a state function, so its change depends only upon the initial and final states of a system. In 1865, Clausius named this property entropy (S) and defined its change for any process as the following:\n\n$$\n\\Delta S=\\frac{q_{\\mathrm{rev}}}{T}\n$$\n\nThe entropy change for a real, irreversible process is then equal to that for the theoretical reversible process that involves the same initial and final states."} {"id": 3835, "contents": "1303. Entropy and Microstates - \nFollowing the work of Carnot and Clausius, Ludwig Boltzmann developed a molecular-scale statistical model that related the entropy of a system to the number of microstates ( $W$ ) possible for the system. A microstate is a specific configuration of all the locations and energies of the atoms or molecules that make up a system. The relation between a system's entropy and the number of possible microstates is\n\n$$\nS=k \\ln W\n$$\n\nwhere $k$ is the Boltzmann constant, $1.38 \\times 10^{-23} \\mathrm{~J} / \\mathrm{K}$.\nAs for other state functions, the change in entropy for a process is the difference between its final ( $S_{\\mathrm{f}}$ ) and initial $\\left(S_{\\mathrm{i}}\\right)$ values:\n\n$$\n\\Delta S=S_{\\mathrm{f}}-S_{\\mathrm{i}}=k \\ln W_{\\mathrm{f}}-k \\ln W_{\\mathrm{i}}=k \\ln \\frac{W_{\\mathrm{f}}}{W_{\\mathrm{i}}}\n$$\n\nFor processes involving an increase in the number of microstates, $W_{\\mathrm{f}}>W_{\\mathrm{i}}$, the entropy of the system increases and $\\Delta S>0$. Conversely, processes that reduce the number of microstates, $W_{\\mathrm{f}}W_{\\mathrm{i}}$, the expansion process involves an increase in entropy $(\\Delta S>0)$ and is spontaneous.\n\nA similar approach may be used to describe the spontaneous flow of heat. Consider a system consisting of two objects, each containing two particles, and two units of thermal energy (represented as \"*\") in Figure 12.9. The hot object is comprised of particles $\\mathbf{A}$ and $\\mathbf{B}$ and initially contains both energy units. The cold object is comprised of particles $\\mathbf{C}$ and $\\mathbf{D}$, which initially has no energy units. Distribution (a) shows the three microstates possible for the initial state of the system, with both units of energy contained within the hot object. If one of the two energy units is transferred, the result is distribution (b) consisting of four microstates. If both energy units are transferred, the result is distribution (c) consisting of three microstates. Thus, we may describe this system by a total of ten microstates. The probability that the heat does not flow when the two objects are brought into contact, that is, that the system remains in distribution (a), is $\\frac{3}{10}$. More likely is the flow of heat to yield one of the other two distribution, the combined probability being $\\frac{7}{10}$. The most likely result is the flow of heat to yield the uniform dispersal of energy represented by distribution (b), the probability of this configuration being $\\frac{4}{10}$. This supports the common observation that placing hot and cold objects in contact results in spontaneous heat flow that ultimately equalizes the objects' temperatures. And, again, this spontaneous process is also characterized by an increase in system entropy."} {"id": 3838, "contents": "1303.

Predicting the Sign of $\\Delta S$ - \nThe relationships between entropy, microstates, and matter/energy dispersal described previously allow us to make generalizations regarding the relative entropies of substances and to predict the sign of entropy changes for chemical and physical processes. Consider the phase changes illustrated in Figure 12.10. In the solid phase, the atoms or molecules are restricted to nearly fixed positions with respect to each other and are capable of only modest oscillations about these positions. With essentially fixed locations for the system's component particles, the number of microstates is relatively small. In the liquid phase, the atoms or molecules are free to move over and around each other, though they remain in relatively close proximity to one another. This increased freedom of motion results in a greater variation in possible particle locations, so the number of microstates is correspondingly greater than for the solid. As a result, $S_{\\text {liquid }}>S_{\\text {solid }}$ and the process of converting a substance from solid to liquid (melting) is characterized by an increase in entropy, $\\Delta S>0$. By the same logic, the reciprocal process (freezing) exhibits a decrease in entropy, $\\Delta S<0$.\n\n\nFIGURE 12.10 The entropy of a substance increases ( $\\Delta S>0$ ) as it transforms from a relatively ordered solid, to a less-ordered liquid, and then to a still less-ordered gas. The entropy decreases $(\\Delta S<0)$ as the substance transforms from a gas to a liquid and then to a solid.\n\nNow consider the gaseous phase, in which a given number of atoms or molecules occupy a much greater volume than in the liquid phase. Each atom or molecule can be found in many more locations, corresponding to a much greater number of microstates. Consequently, for any substance, $S_{\\text {gas }}>S_{\\text {liquid }}>S_{\\text {solid }}$, and the processes of vaporization and sublimation likewise involve increases in entropy, $\\Delta S>0$. Likewise, the reciprocal phase transitions, condensation and deposition, involve decreases in entropy, $\\Delta S<0$."} {"id": 3844, "contents": "1309. Predicting the Sign of $\\Delta S$ - \nAccording to kinetic-molecular theory, the temperature of a substance is proportional to the average kinetic energy of its particles. Raising the temperature of a substance will result in more extensive vibrations of the particles in solids and more rapid translations of the particles in liquids and gases. At higher temperatures, the distribution of kinetic energies among the atoms or molecules of the substance is also broader (more dispersed) than at lower temperatures. Thus, the entropy for any substance increases with temperature (Figure 12.11).\n\n\nFIGURE 12.11 Entropy increases as the temperature of a substance is raised, which corresponds to the greater spread of kinetic energies. When a substance undergoes a phase transition, its entropy changes significantly."} {"id": 3845, "contents": "1310. LINK TO LEARNING - \nTry this simulator (http://openstax.org/l/16freemotion) with interactive visualization of the dependence of\nparticle location and freedom of motion on physical state and temperature.\n\nThe entropy of a substance is influenced by the structure of the particles (atoms or molecules) that comprise the substance. With regard to atomic substances, heavier atoms possess greater entropy at a given temperature than lighter atoms, which is a consequence of the relation between a particle's mass and the spacing of quantized translational energy levels (a topic beyond the scope of this text). For molecules, greater numbers of atoms increase the number of ways in which the molecules can vibrate and thus the number of possible microstates and the entropy of the system.\n\nFinally, variations in the types of particles affects the entropy of a system. Compared to a pure substance, in which all particles are identical, the entropy of a mixture of two or more different particle types is greater. This is because of the additional orientations and interactions that are possible in a system comprised of nonidentical components. For example, when a solid dissolves in a liquid, the particles of the solid experience both a greater freedom of motion and additional interactions with the solvent particles. This corresponds to a more uniform dispersal of matter and energy and a greater number of microstates. The process of dissolution therefore involves an increase in entropy, $\\Delta S>0$.\n\nConsidering the various factors that affect entropy allows us to make informed predictions of the sign of $\\Delta S$ for various chemical and physical processes as illustrated in Example 12.3."} {"id": 3846, "contents": "1312.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics - \nIn the quest to identify a property that may reliably predict the spontaneity of a process, a promising candidate has been identified: entropy. Processes that involve an increase in entropy of the system ( $\\Delta S>0$ ) are very often spontaneous; however, examples to the contrary are plentiful. By expanding consideration of entropy changes to include the surroundings, we may reach a significant conclusion regarding the relation between this property and spontaneity. In thermodynamic models, the system and surroundings comprise everything, that is, the universe, and so the following is true:\n\n$$\n\\Delta S_{\\text {univ }}=\\Delta S_{\\text {sys }}+\\Delta S_{\\text {surr }}\n$$\n\nTo illustrate this relation, consider again the process of heat flow between two objects, one identified as the system and the other as the surroundings. There are three possibilities for such a process:\n\n1. The objects are at different temperatures, and heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object. This is always observed to occur spontaneously. Designating the hotter object as the system and invoking the definition of entropy yields the following:\n\n$$\n\\Delta S_{\\mathrm{sys}}=\\frac{-q_{\\mathrm{rev}}}{T_{\\mathrm{sys}}} \\quad \\text { and } \\quad \\Delta S_{\\mathrm{surr}}=\\frac{q_{\\mathrm{rev}}}{T_{\\mathrm{surr}}}\n$$\n\nThe magnitudes of $-q_{\\mathrm{rev}}$ and $q_{\\mathrm{rev}}$ are equal, their opposite arithmetic signs denoting loss of heat by the system and gain of heat by the surroundings.

The magnitude of the entropy change for the surroundings will again be greater than that for the system, but in this case, the signs of the heat changes (that is, the direction of the heat flow) will yield a negative value for $\\Delta S_{\\text {univ. }}$. This process involves a decrease in the entropy of the universe.\n3. The objects are at essentially the same temperature, $T_{\\text {sys }} \\approx T_{\\text {surr }}$, and so the magnitudes of the entropy changes are essentially the same for both the system and the surroundings.

What's \"Free\" about $\\Delta G$ ? - \nIn addition to indicating spontaneity, the free energy change also provides information regarding the amount of useful work ( $w$ ) that may be accomplished by a spontaneous process. Although a rigorous treatment of this subject is beyond the scope of an introductory chemistry text, a brief discussion is helpful for gaining a better perspective on this important thermodynamic property.\n\nFor this purpose, consider a spontaneous, exothermic process that involves a decrease in entropy. The free energy, as defined by\n\n$$\n\\Delta G=\\Delta H-T \\Delta S\n$$\n\nmay be interpreted as representing the difference between the energy produced by the process, $\\Delta H$, and the energy lost to the surroundings, $T \\Delta S$. The difference between the energy produced and the energy lost is the energy available (or \"free\") to do useful work by the process, $\\Delta G$. If the process somehow could be made to take place under conditions of thermodynamic reversibility, the amount of work that could be done would be maximal:\n\n$$\n\\Delta G=w_{\\max }\n$$\n\nHowever, as noted previously in this chapter, such conditions are not realistic. In addition, the technologies used to extract work from a spontaneous process (e.g., automobile engine, steam turbine) are never 100\\% efficient, and so the work done by these processes is always less than the theoretical maximum. Similar reasoning may be applied to a nonspontaneous process, for which the free energy change represents the minimum amount of work that must be done on the system to carry out the process."} {"id": 3872, "contents": "1335. Calculating Free Energy Change - \nFree energy is a state function, so its value depends only on the conditions of the initial and final states of the system.

CHAPTER OUTLINE - 1357.1. Chemical Equilibria\n13.2 Equilibrium Constants\n13.3 Shifting Equilibria: Le Ch\u00e2telier's Principle\n13.4 Equilibrium Calculations\n\nINTRODUCTION Imagine a beach populated with sunbathers and swimmers. As those basking in the sun get too hot, they enter the surf to swim and cool off. As the swimmers tire, they return to the beach to rest. If the rate at which sunbathers enter the surf were to equal the rate at which swimmers return to the sand, then the numbers (though not the identities) of sunbathers and swimmers would remain constant. This scenario illustrates a dynamic phenomenon known as equilibrium, in which opposing processes occur at equal rates. Chemical and physical processes are subject to this phenomenon; these processes are at equilibrium when the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal. Equilibrium systems are pervasive in nature; the various reactions involving carbon dioxide dissolved in blood are examples (see Figure 13.1). This chapter provides a thorough introduction to the essential aspects of chemical equilibria.\n\nWe now have a good understanding of chemical and physical change that allow us to determine, for any given process:\n\n1. Whether the process is endothermic or exothermic\n2. Whether the process is accompanied by an increase of decrease in entropy\n3. Whether a process will be spontaneous, non-spontaneous, or what we have called an equilibrium process\n\nRecall that when the value $\\Delta G$ for a reaction is zero, we consider there to be no free energy change-that is, no\nfree energy available to do useful work. Does this mean a reaction where $\\Delta G=0$ comes to a complete halt? No, it does not. Just as a liquid exists in equilibrium with its vapor in a closed container, where the rates of evaporation and condensation are equal, there is a connection to the state of equilibrium for a phase change or a chemical reaction. That is, at equilibrium, the forward and reverse rates of reaction are equal. We will develop that concept and extend it to a relationship between equilibrium and free energy later in this chapter.\n\nIn the explanation that follows, we will use the term $Q$ to refer to any reactant or product concentration or pressure. When the concentrations or pressure of reactants and products are at equilibrium, the term $K$ will be used. This will be more clearly explained as we go along in this chapter."} {"id": 3918, "contents": "1357. CHAPTER OUTLINE - 1357.1. Chemical Equilibria\nNow we will consider the connection between the free energy change and the equilibrium constant. The fundamental relationship is:\n$\\Delta G^{\\circ}=-\\mathrm{R} T \\ln K$-this can be for $K_{c}$ or $K_{p}$ (and we will see later, any equilibrium constant we encounter).\nWe also know that the form of $K$ can be used in non-equilibrium conditions as the reaction quotient, $Q$. The defining relationship here is\n\n$$\n\\Delta G=\\Delta G^{\\circ}+R T \\ln Q\n$$\n\nWithout the superscript, the value of $\\Delta G$ can be calculated for any set of concentrations.\nNote that since $Q$ is a mass-action reaction of productions/reactants, as a reaction proceeds from left to right, product concentrations increase as reactant concentrations decrease, until $Q=K$, and at which time $\\Delta G$ becomes zero:\n$0=\\Delta G^{\\circ}+R T \\ln K$, a relationship that reduces to our defining connection between $Q$ and $K$.\nThus, we can see clearly that as a reaction moves toward equilibrium, the value of $\\Delta G$ goes to zero.\nNow, think back to the connection between the signs of $\\Delta G^{\\circ}$ and $\\Delta H^{\\circ}$\n$\\Delta H^{\\circ} \\quad \\Delta S^{\\circ} \\quad$ Result\nNegative Positive Always spontaneous\nPositive Negative Never spontaneous\nPositive Positive Spontaneous at high temperatures\nNegative Negative Spontaneous at low temperatures\nOnly in the last two cases is there a point at which the process swings from spontaneous to non-spontaneous (or the reverse); in these cases, the process must pass through equilibrium when the change occurs. The concept of the connection between the free energy change and the equilibrium constant is an important one that we will expand upon in future sections. The fact that the change in free energy for an equilibrium process is zero, and that displacement of a process from that zero point results in a drive to re-establish equilibrium is fundamental to understanding the behavior of chemical reactions and phase changes."} {"id": 3919, "contents": "1358. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Describe the nature of equilibrium systems\n- Explain the dynamic nature of a chemical equilibrium\n\nThe convention for writing chemical equations involves placing reactant formulas on the left side of a reaction arrow and product formulas on the right side. By this convention, and the definitions of \"reactant\" and \"product,\" a chemical equation represents the reaction in question as proceeding from left to right. Reversible reactions, however, may proceed in both forward (left to right) and reverse (right to left) directions. When the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, the concentrations of the reactant and product species remain constant over time and the system is at equilibrium. The relative concentrations of reactants and products in equilibrium systems vary greatly; some systems contain mostly products at equilibrium, some contain mostly reactants, and some contain appreciable amounts of both.\n\nFigure 13.2 illustrates fundamental equilibrium concepts using the reversible decomposition of colorless dinitrogen tetroxide to yield brown nitrogen dioxide, an elementary reaction described by the equation:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{N}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{4}(g) \\rightleftharpoons 2 \\mathrm{NO}_{2}(g)\n$$\n\nNote that a special double arrow is used to emphasize the reversible nature of the reaction.\n\n\nFIGURE 13.2 (a) A sealed tube containing colorless $\\mathrm{N}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{4}$ darkens as it decomposes to yield brown $\\mathrm{NO}_{2}$.

(c) At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal.\n\nFor this elementary process, rate laws for the forward and reverse reactions may be derived directly from the reaction stoichiometry:\n\n$$\n\\begin{aligned}\n\\operatorname{rate}_{f} & =k_{f}\\left[\\mathrm{~N}_{-2} \\mathrm{O}_{4}\\right] \\\\\n\\operatorname{rate}_{r} & =k_{r}\\left[\\mathrm{NO}_{2}\\right]^{2}\n\\end{aligned}\n$$"} {"id": 3920, "contents": "1358. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nAs the reaction begins ( $t=0$ ), the concentration of the $\\mathrm{N}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{4}$ reactant is finite and that of the $\\mathrm{NO}_{2}$ product is zero, so the forward reaction proceeds at a finite rate while the reverse reaction rate is zero. As time passes, N.\n${ }_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{4}$ is consumed and its concentration falls, while $\\mathrm{NO}_{2}$ is produced and its concentration increases (Figure $13.2 \\mathbf{b})$. The decreasing concentration of the reactant slows the forward reaction rate, and the increasing product concentration speeds the reverse reaction rate (Figure 13.2c). This process continues until the forward and reverse reaction rates become equal, at which time the reaction has reached equilibrium, as characterized by constant concentrations of its reactants and products (shaded areas of Figure $13.2 \\mathbf{b}$ and Figure 13.2c). It's important to emphasize that chemical equilibria are dynamic; a reaction at equilibrium has not \"stopped,\" but is proceeding in the forward and reverse directions at the same rate. This dynamic nature is essential to understanding equilibrium behavior as discussed in this and subsequent chapters of the text.\n\n\nFIGURE 13.3 A two-person juggling act illustrates the dynamic aspect of chemical equilibria. Each person is throwing and catching clubs at the same rate, and each holds a (approximately) constant number of clubs.\n\nPhysical changes, such as phase transitions, are also reversible and may establish equilibria.

As increasing amounts of gaseous bromine are produced, the rate of the reverse process (condensation) will increase until it equals the rate of vaporization and equilibrium is established.

Answer: - \n$K_{c}=4.3$\n\nBy its definition, the magnitude of an equilibrium constant explicitly reflects the composition of a reaction mixture at equilibrium, and it may be interpreted with regard to the extent of the forward reaction. A reaction exhibiting a large $K$ will reach equilibrium when most of the reactant has been converted to product, whereas a small $K$ indicates the reaction achieves equilibrium after very little reactant has been converted. It's important to keep in mind that the magnitude of $K$ does not indicate how rapidly or slowly equilibrium will be reached. Some equilibria are established so quickly as to be nearly instantaneous, and others so slowly that no perceptible change is observed over the course of days, years, or longer.\n\nThe equilibrium constant for a reaction can be used to predict the behavior of mixtures containing its reactants and/or products. As demonstrated by the sulfur dioxide oxidation process described above, a chemical reaction will proceed in whatever direction is necessary to achieve equilibrium. Comparing $Q$ to $K$ for\nan equilibrium system of interest allows prediction of what reaction (forward or reverse), if any, will occur.

A bottle or can is then nearly filled with the carbonated beverage, leaving a relatively small volume of air in the container above the beverage surface (the headspace) before it is sealed. The pressure of carbon dioxide in the container headspace is very low immediately after sealing, but it rises as the dissolution equilibrium is re-established by shifting to the left.

Effect of a Change in Temperature - \nConsistent with the law of mass action, an equilibrium stressed by a change in concentration will shift to reestablish equilibrium without any change in the value of the equilibrium constant, $K$.

For more complex reactions involving multistep reaction mechanisms, a similar but more complex mathematical relation exists between the equilibrium constant and the rate constants of the steps in the mechanism. Regardless of how complex the reaction may be, the temperature-dependence of its equilibrium constant persists.\n\nPredicting the shift an equilibrium will experience in response to a change in temperature is most conveniently accomplished by considering the enthalpy change of the reaction.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Identify the changes in concentration or pressure that occur for chemical species in equilibrium systems\n- Calculate equilibrium concentrations or pressures and equilibrium constants, using various algebraic approaches\n- Explain how temperature affects the spontaneity of some proceses\n- Relate standard free energy changes to equilibrium constants\n\nHaving covered the essential concepts of chemical equilibria in the preceding sections of this chapter, this final section will demonstrate the more practical aspect of using these concepts and appropriate mathematical strategies to perform various equilibrium calculations. These types of computations are essential to many areas of science and technology-for example, in the formulation and dosing of pharmaceutical products. After a drug is ingested or injected, it is typically involved in several chemical equilibria that affect its ultimate concentration in the body system of interest. Knowledge of the quantitative aspects of these equilibria is required to compute a dosage amount that will solicit the desired therapeutic effect.\n\nMany of the useful equilibrium calculations that will be demonstrated here require terms representing changes in reactant and product concentrations.

Regardless of its initial composition, a reaction mixture will show the same relationships between changes in the concentrations of the three species involved, as dictated by the reaction stoichiometry (see also the related content on expressing reaction rates in the chapter on kinetics).

Answer: - \n$\\Delta H$ and $\\Delta S$ are negative; the reaction is spontaneous at low temperatures.\n\nWhen considering the conclusions drawn regarding the temperature dependence of spontaneity, it is important to keep in mind what the terms \"high\" and \"low\" mean. Since these terms are adjectives, the temperatures in question are deemed high or low relative to some reference temperature. A process that is nonspontaneous at one temperature but spontaneous at another will necessarily undergo a change in \"spontaneity\" (as reflected by its $\\Delta G$ ) as temperature varies. This is clearly illustrated by a graphical presentation of the free energy change equation, in which $\\Delta G$ is plotted on the $y$ axis versus $T$ on the $x$ axis:\n\n$$\n\\begin{gathered}\n\\Delta G=\\Delta H-T \\Delta S \\\\\ny=b+m x\n\\end{gathered}\n$$\n\nSuch a plot is shown in Figure 13.9. A process whose enthalpy and entropy changes are of the same arithmetic sign will exhibit a temperature-dependent spontaneity as depicted by the two yellow lines in the plot.

As introduced in another chapter of this text, acid-base chemistry involves the transfer of hydrogen ions from donors (acids) to acceptors (bases). These H+ transfer reactions are reversible, and the equilibria established by acid-base systems are essential aspects of phenomena ranging from sinkhole formation (Figure 14.1) to oxygen transport in the human body. This chapter will further explore acid-base chemistry with an emphasis on the equilibrium aspects of this important reaction class."} {"id": 4057, "contents": "1447. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Identify acids, bases, and conjugate acid-base pairs according to the Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry definition\n- Write equations for acid and base ionization reactions\n- Use the ion-product constant for water to calculate hydronium and hydroxide ion concentrations\n- Describe the acid-base behavior of amphiprotic substances\n\nThe acid-base reaction class has been studied for quite some time. In 1680, Robert Boyle reported traits of acid solutions that included their ability to dissolve many substances, to change the colors of certain natural dyes, and to lose these traits after coming in contact with alkali (base) solutions. In the eighteenth century, it was recognized that acids have a sour taste, react with limestone to liberate a gaseous substance (now known to be $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ ), and interact with alkalis to form neutral substances. In 1815, Humphry Davy contributed greatly to the development of the modern acid-base concept by demonstrating that hydrogen is the essential constituent of acids. Around that same time, Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac concluded that acids are substances that can neutralize bases and that these two classes of substances can be defined only in terms of each other. The significance of hydrogen was reemphasized in 1884 when Svante Arrhenius defined an acid as a compound that dissolves in water to yield hydrogen cations (now recognized to be hydronium ions) and a base as a compound that dissolves in water to yield hydroxide anions.\n\nJohannes Br\u00f8nsted and Thomas Lowry proposed a more general description in 1923 in which acids and bases were defined in terms of the transfer of hydrogen ions, $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$. (Note that these hydrogen ions are often referred to simply as protons, since that subatomic particle is the only component of cations derived from the most abundant hydrogen isotope, ${ }^{1} \\mathrm{H}$.) A compound that donates a proton to another compound is called a Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry acid, and a compound that accepts a proton is called a Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry base. An acid-base reaction is, thus, the transfer of a proton from a donor (acid) to an acceptor (base)."} {"id": 4058, "contents": "1447. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nThe concept of conjugate pairs is useful in describing Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry acid-base reactions (and other reversible reactions, as well). When an acid donates $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$, the species that remains is called the conjugate base of the acid because it reacts as a proton acceptor in the reverse reaction. Likewise, when a base accepts $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$, it is converted to its conjugate acid. The reaction between water and ammonia illustrates this idea. In the forward direction, water acts as an acid by donating a proton to ammonia and subsequently becoming a hydroxide ion, $\\mathrm{OH}^{-}$, the conjugate base of water. The ammonia acts as a base in accepting this proton, becoming an ammonium ion, $\\mathrm{NH}_{4}{ }^{+}$, the conjugate acid of ammonia. In the reverse direction, a hydroxide ion acts as a base in accepting a proton from ammonium ion, which acts as an acid.\n\n\nThe reaction between a Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry acid and water is called acid ionization. For example, when hydrogen fluoride dissolves in water and ionizes, protons are transferred from hydrogen fluoride molecules to water molecules, yielding hydronium ions and fluoride ions:\n\n\nBase ionization of a species occurs when it accepts protons from water molecules. In the example below, pyridine molecules, $\\mathrm{C}_{5} \\mathrm{NH}_{5}$, undergo base ionization when dissolved in water, yielding hydroxide and pyridinium ions:\n\n\nThe preceding ionization reactions suggest that water may function as both a base (as in its reaction with hydrogen fluoride) and an acid (as in its reaction with ammonia). Species capable of either donating or accepting protons are called amphiprotic, or more generally, amphoteric, a term that may be used for acids and bases per definitions other than the Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry one.

When bicarbonate is added to water, both these equilibria are established simultaneously and the composition of the resulting solution may be determined through appropriate equilibrium calculations, as described later in this chapter.\n\nIn the liquid state, molecules of an amphiprotic substance can react with one another as illustrated for water in the equations below:\n\n\nThe process in which like molecules react to yield ions is called autoionization. Liquid water undergoes autoionization to a very slight extent; at $25^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, approximately two out of every billion water molecules are ionized.

A table of ionization constants for weak acids is provided in Appendix H.\n\nTo illustrate this idea, three acid ionization equations and $K_{\\mathrm{a}}$ values are shown below. The ionization constants increase from first to last of the listed equations, indicating the relative acid strength increases in the order $\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}<\\mathrm{HNO}_{2}<\\mathrm{HSO}_{4}{ }^{-}$:"} {"id": 4092, "contents": "1482.

In the acid column, those species listed below water are weaker acids than water. These species do not undergo acid ionization in water; they are not Bronsted-Lowry acids. All the species listed above water are stronger acids, transferring protons to water to some extent when dissolved in an aqueous solution to generate hydronium ions. Species above water but below hydronium ion are weak acids, undergoing partial acid ionization, wheres those above hydronium ion are strong acids that are completely ionized in aqueous solution.\n\nIf all these strong acids are completely ionized in water, why does the column indicate they vary in strength, with nitric acid being the weakest and perchloric acid the strongest?

A solution of acetic acid and sodium acetate ( $\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{COOH}+\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{COONa}$ ) is an example of a buffer that consists of a weak acid and its salt.

How Buffers Work - \nTo illustrate the function of a buffer solution, consider a mixture of roughly equal amounts of acetic acid and sodium acetate. The presence of a weak conjugate acid-base pair in the solution imparts the ability to neutralize modest amounts of added strong acid or base. For example, strong base added to this solution will neutralize hydronium ion, causing the acetic acid ionization equilibrium to shift to the right and generate additional amounts of the weak conjugate base (acetate ion):\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}(a q)+\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(l) \\rightleftharpoons \\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{O}^{+}(a q)+\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CO}_{2}^{-}(a q)\n$$\n\nLikewise, strong acid added to this buffer solution will shift the above ionization equilibrium left, producing additional amounts of the weak conjugate acid (acetic acid). Figure 14.15 provides a graphical illustration of the changes in conjugate-partner concentration that occur in this buffer solution when strong acid and base are added. The buffering action of the solution is essentially a result of the added strong acid and base being converted to the weak acid and base that make up the buffer's conjugate pair.

Buffer Capacity - \nBuffer solutions do not have an unlimited capacity to keep the pH relatively constant (Figure 14.16). Instead, the ability of a buffer solution to resist changes in pH relies on the presence of appreciable amounts of its conjugate weak acid-base pair. When enough strong acid or base is added to substantially lower the concentration of either member of the buffer pair, the buffering action within the solution is compromised.\n\n\nFIGURE 14.16 The indicator color (methyl orange) shows that a small amount of acid added to a buffered solution of pH 8 (beaker on the left) has little affect on the buffered system (middle beaker). However, a large amount of acid exhausts the buffering capacity of the solution and the pH changes dramatically (beaker on the right). (credit: modification of work by Mark Ott)\n\nThe buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base that can be added to a given volume of a buffer solution before the pH changes significantly, usually by one unit. Buffer capacity depends on the amounts of the weak\nacid and its conjugate base that are in a buffer mixture. For example, 1 L of a solution that is 1.0 M in acetic acid and 1.0 M in sodium acetate has a greater buffer capacity than 1 L of a solution that is 0.10 M in acetic acid and 0.10 M in sodium acetate even though both solutions have the same pH . The first solution has more buffer capacity because it contains more acetic acid and acetate ion."} {"id": 4187, "contents": "1565. Selection of Suitable Buffer Mixtures - \nThere are two useful rules of thumb for selecting buffer mixtures:\n\n1. A good buffer mixture should have about equal concentrations of both of its components. A buffer solution has generally lost its usefulness when one component of the buffer pair is less than about $10 \\%$ of the other. Figure 14.17 shows how pH changes for an acetic acid-acetate ion buffer as base is added. The initial pH is 4.74. A change of 1 pH unit occurs when the acetic acid concentration is reduced to $11 \\%$ of the acetate ion concentration.\n\n\nFIGURE 14.17 Change in pH as an increasing amount of a $0.10-\\mathrm{M} \\mathrm{NaOH}$ solution is added to 100 mL of a buffer solution in which, initially, $\\left[\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CO}_{2} \\mathrm{H}\\right]=0.10 \\mathrm{M}$ and $\\left[\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CO}_{2}{ }^{-}\\right]=0.10 \\mathrm{M}$. Note the greatly diminished buffering action occurring after the buffer capacity has been reached, resulting in drastic rises in pH on adding more strong base.\n2. Weak acids and their salts are better as buffers for pHs less than 7; weak bases and their salts are better as buffers for pHs greater than 7.\n\nBlood is an important example of a buffered solution, with the principal acid and ion responsible for the buffering action being carbonic acid, $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{CO}_{3}$, and the bicarbonate ion, $\\mathrm{HCO}_{3}{ }^{-}$.

Lawrence Joseph Henderson and Karl Albert Hasselbalch - \nLawrence Joseph Henderson (1878-1942) was an American physician, biochemist and physiologist, to name only a few of his many pursuits. He obtained a medical degree from Harvard and then spent 2 years studying in Strasbourg, then a part of Germany, before returning to take a lecturer position at Harvard. He eventually became a professor at Harvard and worked there his entire life. He discovered that the acid-base balance in human blood is regulated by a buffer system formed by the dissolved carbon dioxide in blood. He wrote an equation in 1908 to describe the carbonic acid-carbonate buffer system in blood. Henderson was broadly knowledgeable; in addition to his important research on the physiology of blood, he also wrote on the adaptations of organisms and their fit with their environments, on sociology and on university education. He also founded the Fatigue Laboratory, at the Harvard Business School, which examined human physiology with specific focus on work in industry, exercise, and nutrition.\n\nIn 1916, Karl Albert Hasselbalch (1874-1962), a Danish physician and chemist, shared authorship in a paper with Christian Bohr in 1904 that described the Bohr effect, which showed that the ability of hemoglobin in the blood to bind with oxygen was inversely related to the acidity of the blood and the concentration of carbon dioxide. The pH scale was introduced in 1909 by another Dane, S\u00f8rensen, and in 1912, Hasselbalch published measurements of the pH of blood. In 1916, Hasselbalch expressed Henderson's equation in logarithmic terms, consistent with the logarithmic scale of pH , and thus the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation was born."} {"id": 4191, "contents": "1570.

Acid-Base Indicators - \nCertain organic substances change color in dilute solution when the hydronium ion concentration reaches a particular value. For example, phenolphthalein is a colorless substance in any aqueous solution with a hydronium ion concentration greater than $5.0 \\times 10^{-9} M(\\mathrm{pH}<8.3)$. In more basic solutions where the hydronium ion concentration is less than $5.0 \\times 10^{-9} M(\\mathrm{pH}>8.3)$, it is red or pink. Substances such as phenolphthalein, which can be used to determine the pH of a solution, are called acid-base indicators. Acidbase indicators are either weak organic acids or weak organic bases.\n\nThe equilibrium in a solution of the acid-base indicator methyl orange, a weak acid, can be represented by an equation in which we use HIn as a simple representation for the complex methyl orange molecule:\n\n$$\n\\begin{aligned}\n& \\underset{\\text { red }}{\\mathrm{HIn}(a q)}+\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(l) \\rightleftharpoons \\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{O}^{+}(a q)+\\mathrm{In}^{-}(a q) \\\\\n& \\text { yellow } \\\\\n& \\quad K_{a}=\\frac{\\left[\\mathrm{H}_{3} \\mathrm{O}^{+}\\right]\\left[\\mathrm{In}^{-}\\right]}{[\\mathrm{HIn}]}=4.0 \\times 10^{-4}\n\\end{aligned}\n$$\n\nThe anion of methyl orange, $\\mathrm{In}^{-}$, is yellow, and the nonionized form, HIn, is red. When we add acid to a solution of methyl orange, the increased hydronium ion concentration shifts the equilibrium toward the nonionized red form, in accordance with Le Ch\u00e2telier's principle. If we add base, we shift the equilibrium towards the yellow form. This behavior is completely analogous to the action of buffers."} {"id": 4210, "contents": "1584. Acid-Base Indicators - \nThe perceived color of an indicator solution is determined by the ratio of the concentrations of the two species $\\mathrm{In}^{-}$and HIn. If most of the indicator (typically about $60-90 \\%$ or more) is present as $\\mathrm{In}^{-}$, the perceived color of the solution is yellow. If most is present as HIn, then the solution color appears red. The HendersonHasselbalch equation is useful for understanding the relationship between the pH of an indicator solution and its composition (thus, perceived color):\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{pH}=\\mathrm{p} K \\mathrm{a}+\\log \\left(\\frac{\\left[\\mathrm{In}^{-}\\right]}{[\\mathrm{HIn}]}\\right)\n$$\n\nIn solutions where $\\mathrm{pH}>\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}}$, the logarithmic term must be positive, indicating an excess of the conjugate base form of the indicator (yellow solution). When $\\mathrm{pH}<\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}}$, the log term must be negative, indicating an excess of the conjugate acid (red solution). When the solution pH is close to the indicator pKa , appreciable amounts of both conjugate partners are present, and the solution color is that of an additive combination of each (yellow and red, yielding orange). The color change interval (or pH interval) for an acid-base indicator is defined as the range of pH values over which a change in color is observed, and for most indicators this range is approximately $\\mathrm{p} K_{\\mathrm{a}} \\pm 1$.\n\nThere are many different acid-base indicators that cover a wide range of pH values and can be used to determine the approximate pH of an unknown solution by a process of elimination. Universal indicators and pH paper contain a mixture of indicators and exhibit different colors at different pHs.

Acid-Base Indicators - \nFIGURE 14.19 This chart illustrates the color change intervals for several acid-base indicators.\n\n\nFIGURE 14.20 Titration curves for strong and weak acids illustrating the proper choice of acid-base indicator. Any of the three indicators will exhibit a reasonably sharp color change at the equivalence point of the strong acid titration, but only phenolphthalein is suitable for use in the weak acid titration.\n\nThe titration curves shown in Figure 14.20 illustrate the choice of a suitable indicator for specific titrations. In the strong acid titration, use of any of the three indicators should yield reasonably sharp color changes and accurate end point determinations. For this titration, the solution pH reaches the lower limit of the methyl orange color change interval after addition of $\\sim 24 \\mathrm{~mL}$ of titrant, at which point the initially red solution would begin to appear orange. When 25 mL of titrant has been added (the equivalence point), the pH is well above the upper limit and the solution will appear yellow. The titration's end point may then be estimated as the volume of titrant that yields a distinct orange-to-yellow color change. This color change would be challenging for most human eyes to precisely discern. More-accurate estimates of the titration end point are possible using either litmus or phenolphthalein, both of which exhibit color change intervals that are encompassed by the steep rise in pH that occurs around the 25.00 mL equivalence point.\n\nThe weak acid titration curve in Figure 14.20 shows that only one of the three indicators is suitable for end point detection. If methyl orange is used in this titration, the solution will undergo a gradual red-to-orange-toyellow color change over a relatively large volume interval ( $0-6 \\mathrm{~mL}$ ), completing the color change well before the equivalence point ( 25 mL ) has been reached. Use of litmus would show a color change that begins after adding $7-8 \\mathrm{~mL}$ of titrant and ends just before the equivalence point. Phenolphthalein, on the other hand, exhibits a color change interval that nicely brackets the abrupt change in pH occurring at the titration's equivalence point. A sharp color change from colorless to pink will be observed within a very small volume interval around the equivalence point."} {"id": 4212, "contents": "1585.

Summary - 1587.1. Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry Acids and Bases\nA compound that can donate a proton (a hydrogen ion) to another compound is called a Br\u00f8nstedLowry acid. The compound that accepts the proton is called a Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry base. The species remaining after a Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry acid has lost a proton is the conjugate base of the acid. The species formed when a Br\u00f8nsted-Lowry base gains a proton is the conjugate acid of the base. Thus, an acid-base reaction occurs when a proton is transferred from an acid to a base, with formation of the conjugate base of the reactant acid and formation of the conjugate acid of the reactant base.

Precipitation and Dissolution\n15.2 Lewis Acids and Bases\n15.3 Coupled Equilibria\n\nINTRODUCTION The mineral fluorite, $\\mathrm{CaF}_{2}$ Figure 15.1, is commonly used as a semiprecious stone in many types of jewelry because of its striking appearance. Deposits of fluorite are formed through a process called hydrothermal precipitation in which calcium and fluoride ions dissolved in groundwater combine to produce insoluble $\\mathrm{CaF}_{2}$ in response to some change in solution conditions. For example, a decrease in temperature may trigger fluorite precipitation if its solubility is exceeded at the lower temperature. Because fluoride ion is a weak base, its solubility is also affected by solution pH , and so geologic or other processes that change groundwater pH will also affect the precipitation of fluorite. This chapter extends the equilibrium discussion of other chapters by addressing some additional reaction classes (including precipitation) and systems involving coupled equilibrium reactions."} {"id": 4252, "contents": "1593. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Write chemical equations and equilibrium expressions representing solubility equilibria\n- Carry out equilibrium computations involving solubility, equilibrium expressions, and solute concentrations\n\nSolubility equilibria are established when the dissolution and precipitation of a solute species occur at equal\nrates. These equilibria underlie many natural and technological processes, ranging from tooth decay to water purification. An understanding of the factors affecting compound solubility is, therefore, essential to the effective management of these processes. This section applies previously introduced equilibrium concepts and tools to systems involving dissolution and precipitation."} {"id": 4253, "contents": "1594. The Solubility Product - \nRecall from the chapter on solutions that the solubility of a substance can vary from essentially zero (insoluble or sparingly soluble) to infinity (miscible). A solute with finite solubility can yield a saturated solution when it is added to a solvent in an amount exceeding its solubility, resulting in a heterogeneous mixture of the saturated solution and the excess, undissolved solute. For example, a saturated solution of silver chloride is one in which the equilibrium shown below has been established.\n\nIn this solution, an excess of solid AgCl dissolves and dissociates to produce aqueous $\\mathrm{Ag}^{+}$and $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ions at the same rate that these aqueous ions combine and precipitate to form solid AgCl (Figure 15.2). Because silver chloride is a sparingly soluble salt, the equilibrium concentration of its dissolved ions in the solution is relatively low.\n\n\nFIGURE 15.2 Silver chloride is a sparingly soluble ionic solid. When it is added to water, it dissolves slightly and produces a mixture consisting of a very dilute solution of $\\mathrm{Ag}^{+}$and $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ions in equilibrium with undissolved silver chloride.\n\nThe equilibrium constant for solubility equilibria such as this one is called the solubility product constant, $\\boldsymbol{K}_{\\mathbf{s p}}$, in this case\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{AgCl}(s) \\rightleftharpoons \\mathrm{Ag}^{+}(a q)+\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(a q) \\quad K_{\\mathrm{sp}}=\\left[\\mathrm{Ag}^{+}(a q)\\right]\\left[\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(a q)\\right]\n$$\n\nRecall that only gases and solutes are represented in equilibrium constant expressions, so the $K_{\\text {sp }}$ does not include a term for the undissolved AgCl .

By increasing the counter ion concentration in a controlled manner, ions in solution may be precipitated individually, assuming their compound solubilities are adequately different. In solutions with equal concentrations of target ions, the ion forming the least soluble compound will precipitate first (at the lowest concentration of counter ion), with the other ions subsequently precipitating as their compound's solubilities are reached.

The Role of Precipitation in Wastewater Treatment - \nSolubility equilibria are useful tools in the treatment of wastewater carried out in facilities that may treat the municipal water in your city or town (Figure 15.6). Specifically, selective precipitation is used to remove contaminants from wastewater before it is released back into natural bodies of water. For example, phosphate ions $\\left(\\mathrm{PO}_{4}{ }^{3-}\\right)$ are often present in the water discharged from manufacturing facilities. An abundance of phosphate causes excess algae to grow, which impacts the amount of oxygen available for marine life as well as making water unsuitable for human consumption.\n\n\nFIGURE 15.6 Wastewater treatment facilities, such as this one, remove contaminants from wastewater before the water is released back into the natural environment. (credit: \"eutrophication\\&hypoxia\"/Wikimedia Commons)\n\nOne common way to remove phosphates from water is by the addition of calcium hydroxide, or lime, $\\mathrm{Ca}(\\mathrm{OH})_{2}$.

N. Lewis proposed a generalized definition of acid-base behavior in which acids and bases are identified by their ability to accept or to donate a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond.\n\nA coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when an ammonia molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form an ammonium ion. Both of these equations are shown here.\n\n\n\nReactions involving the formation of coordinate covalent bonds are classified as Lewis acid-base chemistry. The species donating the electron pair that compose the bond is a Lewis base, the species accepting the electron pair is a Lewis acid, and the product of the reaction is a Lewis acid-base adduct.

This important reaction class is defined by changes in oxidation states for one or more reactant elements, and it includes a subset of reactions involving the transfer of electrons between reactant species. Around the turn of the nineteenth century, chemists began exploring ways these electrons could be transferred indirectly via an external circuit rather than directly via intimate contact of redox reactants. In the two centuries since, the field of electrochemistry has evolved to yield significant insights on the fundamental aspects of redox chemistry as well as a wealth of technologies ranging from industrial-scale metallurgical processes to robust, rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles (Figure 16.1). In this chapter, the essential concepts of electrochemistry will be addressed."} {"id": 4380, "contents": "1692.

Readers wishing additional review are referred to the text chapter on reaction stoichiometry."} {"id": 4381, "contents": "1693. Oxidation Numbers - \nBy definition, a redox reaction is one that entails changes in oxidation number (or oxidation state) for one or more of the elements involved. The oxidation number of an element in a compound is essentially an assessment of how the electronic environment of its atoms is different in comparison to atoms of the pure element. By this description, the oxidation number of an atom in an element is equal to zero. For an atom in a compound, the oxidation number is equal to the charge the atom would have in the compound if the compound were ionic. Consequential to these rules, the sum of oxidation numbers for all atoms in a molecule is equal to the charge on the molecule. To illustrate this formalism, examples from the two compound classes, ionic and covalent, will be considered.\n\nSimple ionic compounds present the simplest examples to illustrate this formalism, since by definition the elements' oxidation numbers are numerically equivalent to ionic charges. Sodium chloride, NaCl , is comprised of $\\mathrm{Na}^{+}$cations and $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$anions, and so oxidation numbers for sodium and chlorine are, +1 and -1 , respectively. Calcium fluoride, $\\mathrm{CaF}_{2}$, is comprised of $\\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ cations and $\\mathrm{F}^{-}$anions, and so oxidation numbers for calcium and fluorine are, +2 and -1 , respectively.\n\nCovalent compounds require a more challenging use of the formalism. Water is a covalent compound whose molecules consist of two H atoms bonded separately to a central O atom via polar covalent $\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$ bonds. The shared electrons comprising an $\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond are more strongly attracted to the more electronegative O atom, and so it acquires a partial negative charge in the water molecule (relative to an O atom in elemental oxygen). Consequently, H atoms in a water molecule exhibit partial positive charges compared to H atoms in elemental hydrogen. The sum of the partial negative and partial positive charges for each water molecule is zero, and the water molecule is neutral."} {"id": 4382, "contents": "1693. Oxidation Numbers - \nImagine that the polarization of shared electrons within the $\\mathrm{O}-\\mathrm{H}$ bonds of water were $100 \\%$ complete-the result would be transfer of electrons from H to O , and water would be an ionic compound comprised of $\\mathrm{O}^{2-}$ anions and $\\mathrm{H}^{+}$cations. And so, the oxidations numbers for oxygen and hydrogen in water are -2 and +1 , respectively. Applying this same logic to carbon tetrachloride, $\\mathrm{CCl}_{4}$, yields oxidation numbers of +4 for carbon and -1 for chlorine. In the nitrate ion, $\\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}$, the oxidation number for nitrogen is +5 and that for oxygen is -2 , summing to equal the 1 - charge on the molecule:\n\n$$\n(1 \\mathrm{~N} \\text { atom })\\left(\\frac{+5}{\\mathrm{~N} \\text { atom }}\\right)+(3 \\mathrm{O} \\text { atoms })\\left(\\frac{-2}{\\mathrm{O} \\text { atom }}\\right)=+5+-6=-1\n$$"} {"id": 4383, "contents": "1694.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nConsider the construction of a device that contains all the reactants and products of a redox system like the one here, but prevents physical contact between the reactants. Direct transfer of electrons is, therefore, prevented; transfer, instead, takes place indirectly through an external circuit that contacts the separated reactants. Devices of this sort are generally referred to as electrochemical cells, and those in which a spontaneous redox reaction takes place are called galvanic cells (or voltaic cells).\n\nA galvanic cell based on the spontaneous reaction between copper and silver(I) is depicted in Figure 16.3. The cell is comprised of two half-cells, each containing the redox conjugate pair (\"couple\") of a single reactant. The half-cell shown at the left contains the $\\mathrm{Cu}(0) / \\mathrm{Cu}(\\mathrm{II})$ couple in the form of a solid copper foil and an aqueous solution of copper nitrate. The right half-cell contains the $\\mathrm{Ag}(\\mathrm{I}) / \\mathrm{Ag}(0)$ couple as solid silver foil and an aqueous silver nitrate solution. An external circuit is connected to each half-cell at its solid foil, meaning the Cu and Ag foil each function as an electrode. By definition, the anode of an electrochemical cell is the electrode at which oxidation occurs (in this case, the Cu foil) and the cathode is the electrode where reduction occurs (the Ag foil). The redox reactions in a galvanic cell occur only at the interface between each half-cell's reaction mixture and its electrode. To keep the reactants separate while maintaining charge-balance, the two half-cell solutions are connected by a tube filled with inert electrolyte solution called a salt bridge. The spontaneous reaction in this cell produces $\\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}$ cations in the anode half-cell and consumes $\\mathrm{Ag}^{+}$ions in the cathode half-cell, resulting in a compensatory flow of inert ions from the salt bridge that maintains charge balance. Increasing concentrations of $\\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}$ in the anode half-cell are balanced by an influx of $\\mathrm{NO}_{3}{ }^{-}$from the salt bridge, while a flow of $\\mathrm{Na}^{+}$into the cathode half-cell compensates for the decreasing $\\mathrm{Ag}^{+}$concentration."} {"id": 4398, "contents": "1703.

The two species, $\\mathrm{Ag}^{+}(\\mathrm{aq})$ and $\\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}(\\mathrm{aq})$, thus show a distinct difference in their redox activity towards copper: the silver ion spontaneously oxidized copper, but the lead ion did not. Electrochemical cells permit this relative redox activity to be quantified by an easily measured property, potential. This property is more commonly called voltage when referenced in regard to electrical applications, and it is a measure of energy accompanying the transfer of charge. Potentials are measured in the volt unit, defined as one joule of energy per one coulomb of charge, $\\mathrm{V}=\\mathrm{J} / \\mathrm{C}$.\n\nWhen measured for purposes of electrochemistry, a potential reflects the driving force for a specific type of charge transfer process, namely, the transfer of electrons between redox reactants. Considering the nature of potential in this context, it is clear that the potential of a single half-cell or a single electrode can't be measured; \"transfer\" of electrons requires both a donor and recipient, in this case a reductant and an oxidant, respectively. Instead, a half-cell potential may only be assessed relative to that of another half-cell.

A voltmeter in the external circuit allows measurement of the potential difference between the two half-cells.

Intrepreting Electrode and Cell Potentials - \nThinking carefully about the definitions of cell and electrode potentials and the observations of spontaneous redox change presented thus far, a significant relation is noted. The previous section described the spontaneous oxidation of copper by aqueous silver(I) ions, but no observed reaction with aqueous lead(II) ions. Results of the calculations in Example 16.4 have just shown the spontaneous process is described by a positive cell potential while the nonspontaneous process exhibits a negative cell potential. And so, with regard to the relative effectiveness (\"strength\") with which aqueous $\\mathrm{Ag}^{+}$and $\\mathrm{Pb}^{2+}$ ions oxidize Cu under standard conditions, the stronger oxidant is the one exhibiting the greater standard electrode potential, $E^{\\circ}$. Since by convention electrode potentials are for reduction processes, an increased value of $E^{\\circ}$ corresponds to an increased driving force behind the reduction of the species (hence increased effectiveness of its action as an oxidizing agent on some other species). Negative values for electrode potentials are simply a consequence of assigning a value of 0 V to the SHE, indicating the reactant of the half-reaction is a weaker oxidant than aqueous hydrogen ions.\n\nApplying this logic to the numerically ordered listing of standard electrode potentials in Table 16.1 shows this listing to be likewise in order of the oxidizing strength of the half-reaction's reactant species, decreasing from strongest oxidant (most positive $E^{\\circ}$ ) to weakest oxidant (most negative $E^{\\circ}$ ). Predictions regarding the spontaneity of redox reactions under standard state conditions can then be easily made by simply comparing the relative positions of their table entries. By definition, $E^{\\circ}{ }_{\\text {cell }}$ is positive when $E^{\\circ}{ }_{\\text {cathode }}>E^{\\circ}{ }_{\\text {anode }}$, and so any redox reaction in which the oxidant's entry is above the reductant's entry is predicted to be spontaneous."} {"id": 4418, "contents": "1716.

It was brown, the color of its copper \"skin.\" So how did the Statue of Liberty change colors? The change in appearance was a direct result of corrosion. The copper that is the primary component of the statue slowly underwent oxidation from the air. The oxidation-reduction reactions of copper metal in the environment occur in several steps. Copper metal is oxidized to copper(I) oxide ( $\\mathrm{Cu}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$ ), which is red, and then to copper(II) oxide, which is black\n\n$$\n\\begin{aligned}\n2 \\mathrm{Cu}(s)+\\frac{1}{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) & \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{Cu}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(s) \\\\\n\\mathrm{Cu}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(s)+\\frac{1}{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) & \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{CuO}(s)\n\\end{aligned}\n$$\n\nCoal, which was often high in sulfur, was burned extensively in the early part of the last century.

Statue of Liberty: Changing Colors - \nThese three compounds are responsible for the characteristic blue-green patina seen on the Statue of Liberty (and other outdoor copper structures). Fortunately, formation of patina creates a protective layer on the copper surface, preventing further corrosion of the underlying copper. The formation of the protective layer is called passivation, a phenomenon discussed further in another chapter of this text.\n\n\nFIGURE 16.15 (a) The Statue of Liberty is covered with a copper skin, and was originally brown, as shown in this painting. (b) Exposure to the elements has resulted in the formation of the blue-green patina seen today.\n\nPerhaps the most familiar example of corrosion is the formation of rust on iron. Iron will rust when it is exposed to oxygen and water. Rust formation involves the creation of a galvanic cell at an iron surface, as illustrated in Figure 16.15. The relevant redox reactions are described by the following equations:\n\n$$\n\\begin{array}{llr}\n\\text { anode: } & \\mathrm{Fe}(s) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}(a q)+2 \\mathrm{e}^{-} & E_{\\mathrm{Fe}^{2+} / \\mathrm{Fe}}^{\\circ}=-0.44 \\mathrm{~V} \\\\\n\\text { cathode: } & \\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)+4 \\mathrm{H}^{+}(a q)+4 \\mathrm{e}^{-} \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(l) & E_{\\mathrm{O}_{2} / \\mathrm{O}^{2}}^{\\circ}=+1.23 \\mathrm{~V} \\\\\n\\text { overall: } & 2 \\mathrm{Fe}(s)+\\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)+4 \\mathrm{H}^{+}(a q) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}(a q)+2 \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(l) & E_{\\mathrm{cell}}^{\\circ}=+1.67 \\mathrm{~V}\n\\end{array}\n$$\n\nFurther reaction of the iron(II) product in humid air results in the production of an iron(III) oxide hydrate known as rust:"} {"id": 4454, "contents": "1752.

Unlike the patina on copper, the formation of rust does not create a protective layer and so corrosion of the iron continues as the rust flakes off and exposes fresh iron to the atmosphere.\n\n\nFIGURE 16.16 Corrosion can occur when a painted iron or steel surface is exposed to the environment by a scratch through the paint.

The layer of paint prevents the water and oxygen necessary for rust formation from coming into contact with the iron. As long as the paint remains intact, the iron is protected from corrosion.\n\nOther strategies include alloying the iron with other metals. For example, stainless steel is an alloy of iron containing a small amount of chromium. The chromium tends to collect near the surface, where it corrodes and forms a passivating an oxide layer that protects the iron."} {"id": 4455, "contents": "1752. Statue of Liberty: Changing Colors - \nIron and other metals may also be protected from corrosion by galvanization, a process in which the metal to be protected is coated with a layer of a more readily oxidized metal, usually zinc. When the zinc layer is intact, it prevents air from contacting the underlying iron and thus prevents corrosion. If the zinc layer is breached by either corrosion or mechanical abrasion, the iron may still be protected from corrosion by a cathodic protection process, which is described in the next paragraph.\n\nAnother important way to protect metal is to make it the cathode in a galvanic cell. This is cathodic protection and can be used for metals other than just iron. For example, the rusting of underground iron storage tanks and pipes can be prevented or greatly reduced by connecting them to a more active metal such as zinc or magnesium (Figure 16.17). This is also used to protect the metal parts in water heaters. The more active metals (lower reduction potential) are called sacrificial anodes because as they get used up as they corrode (oxidize) at the anode. The metal being protected serves as the cathode for the reduction of oxygen in air, and so it simply serves to conduct (not react with) the electrons being transferred. When the anodes are properly monitored and periodically replaced, the useful lifetime of the iron storage tank can be greatly extended.\n\n\nFIGURE 16.17 Cathodic protection is a useful approach to electrochemically preventing corrosion of underground storage tanks."} {"id": 4456, "contents": "1753.

This final section of the chapter will address an alternative scenario in which an external circuit does work on a redox system by imposing a voltage sufficient to drive an otherwise nonspontaneous reaction, a process known as electrolysis. A familiar example of electrolysis is recharging a battery, which involves use of an external power source to drive the spontaneous (discharge) cell reaction in the reverse direction, restoring to some extent the composition of the half-cells and the voltage of the battery. Perhaps less familiar is the use of electrolysis in the refinement of metallic ores, the manufacture of commodity chemicals, and the electroplating of metallic coatings on various products (e.g., jewelry, utensils, auto parts).

Thermodynamics thus predicts that water would be more readily oxidized, though in practice it is observed that both water and chloride ion are oxidized under typical conditions, producing a mixture of oxygen and chlorine gas.\n\nTurning attention to the cathode, the possibilities for reduction are:"} {"id": 4460, "contents": "1756.

Chemistry in Everyday Life Electroplating - \nAn important use for electrolytic cells is in electroplating. Electroplating results in a thin coating of one metal on top of a conducting surface. Reasons for electroplating include making the object more corrosion resistant, strengthening the surface, producing a more attractive finish, or for purifying metal. The metals commonly used in electroplating include cadmium, chromium, copper, gold, nickel, silver, and tin. Common consumer products include silver-plated or gold-plated tableware, chrome-plated automobile parts, and jewelry. The silver plating of eating utensils is used here to illustrate the process. (Figure 16.20).\n\n\nFIGURE 16.20 This schematic shows an electrolytic cell for silver plating eating utensils.\nIn the figure, the anode consists of a silver electrode, shown on the left.

Summary - 1770.3. Electrode and Cell Potentials\nThe property of potential, $E$, is the energy associated with the separation/transfer of charge. In electrochemistry, the potentials of cells and halfcells are thermodynamic quantities that reflect the driving force or the spontaneity of their redox processes. The cell potential of an electrochemical cell is the difference in between its cathode and anode. To permit easy sharing of half-cell potential data, the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) is\nassigned a potential of exactly 0 V and used to define a single electrode potential for any given half-cell. The electrode potential of a half-cell, $E_{X}$, is the cell potential of said half-cell acting as a cathode when connected to a SHE acting as an anode. When the half-cell is operating under standard state conditions, its potential is the standard electrode potential, $E^{\\circ}{ }_{\\mathrm{X}}$. Standard electrode potentials reflect the relative oxidizing strength of the half-reaction's reactant, with stronger oxidants exhibiting larger (more positive) $E^{o}{ }_{X}$ values. Tabulations of standard electrode potentials may be used to compute standard cell potentials, $E^{o}$ cell, for many redox reactions. The arithmetic sign of a cell potential indicates the spontaneity of the cell reaction, with positive values for spontaneous reactions and negative values for nonspontaneous reactions (spontaneous in the reverse direction)."} {"id": 4477, "contents": "1770.

For redox processes taking place in electrochemical cells, the maximum (electrical) work done by the system is easily computed from the cell potential and the reaction stoichiometry and is equal to the free energy change for the process. The equilibrium constant for a redox reaction is logarithmically related to the reaction's cell potential, with larger (more positive) potentials indicating reactions with greater driving force that equilibrate when the reaction has proceeded far towards completion (large value of $K$ ).

Fuel cells, sometimes called flow batteries, are devices that harness the energy of spontaneous redox reactions normally associated with combustion processes. Like batteries, fuel cells enable the reaction's electron transfer via an external circuit, but they require continuous input of the redox reactants (fuel and oxidant) from an external reservoir.

The heat from the sun's rays is critical to the lizard's survival. A warm lizard can move faster than a cold one because the chemical reactions that allow its muscles to move occur more rapidly at higher temperatures. A cold lizard is a slower lizard and an easier meal for predators.\n\nFrom baking a cake to determining the useful lifespan of a bridge, rates of chemical reactions play important roles in our understanding of processes that involve chemical changes. Two questions are typically posed when planning to carry out a chemical reaction. The first is: \"Will the reaction produce the desired products in useful quantities?\" The second question is: \"How rapidly will the reaction occur?\" A third question is often asked when investigating reactions in greater detail: \"What specific molecular-level processes take place as the reaction occurs?\" Knowing the answer to this question is of practical importance when the yield or rate of a reaction needs to be controlled.\n\nThe study of chemical kinetics concerns the second and third questions-that is, the rate at which a reaction yields products and the molecular-scale means by which a reaction occurs. This chapter examines the factors\nthat influence the rates of chemical reactions, the mechanisms by which reactions proceed, and the quantitative techniques used to describe the rates at which reactions occur."} {"id": 4497, "contents": "1773. CHAPTER OUTLINE - 1773.3. Chemical Reaction Rates\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Define chemical reaction rate\n- Derive rate expressions from the balanced equation for a given chemical reaction\n- Calculate reaction rates from experimental data\n\nA rate is a measure of how some property varies with time. Speed is a familiar rate that expresses the distance traveled by an object in a given amount of time. Wage is a rate that represents the amount of money earned by a person working for a given amount of time. Likewise, the rate of a chemical reaction is a measure of how much reactant is consumed, or how much product is produced, by the reaction in a given amount of time.\n\nThe rate of reaction is the change in the amount of a reactant or product per unit time. Reaction rates are therefore determined by measuring the time dependence of some property that can be related to reactant or product amounts. Rates of reactions that consume or produce gaseous substances, for example, are conveniently determined by measuring changes in volume or pressure. For reactions involving one or more colored substances, rates may be monitored via measurements of light absorption. For reactions involving aqueous electrolytes, rates may be measured via changes in a solution's conductivity.\n\nFor reactants and products in solution, their relative amounts (concentrations) are conveniently used for purposes of expressing reaction rates. For example, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}$, in an aqueous solution changes slowly over time as it decomposes according to the equation:\n\n$$\n2 \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}(a q) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(l)+\\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\n$$\n\nThe rate at which the hydrogen peroxide decomposes can be expressed in terms of the rate of change of its concentration, as shown here:"} {"id": 4498, "contents": "1773. CHAPTER OUTLINE - 1773.3. Chemical Reaction Rates\nThe rate at which the hydrogen peroxide decomposes can be expressed in terms of the rate of change of its concentration, as shown here:\n\n$$\n\\text { rate of decomposition of } \\begin{aligned}\n\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2} & =-\\frac{\\text { change in concentration of reactant }}{\\text { time interval }} \\\\\n& =-\\frac{\\left[\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}\\right]_{t_{2}}-\\left[\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}\\right]_{t_{1}}}{t_{2}-t_{1}} \\\\\n& =-\\frac{\\Delta\\left[\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}\\right]}{\\Delta t}\n\\end{aligned}\n$$\n\nThis mathematical representation of the change in species concentration over time is the rate expression for the reaction. The brackets indicate molar concentrations, and the symbol delta ( $\\Delta$ ) indicates \"change in.\" Thus, $\\left[\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}\\right]_{t_{1}}$ represents the molar concentration of hydrogen peroxide at some time $t_{1}$; likewise, $\\left[\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}\\right]_{t_{2}}$ represents the molar concentration of hydrogen peroxide at a later time $t_{2}$; and $\\Delta\\left[\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}\\right]$ represents the change in molar concentration of hydrogen peroxide during the time interval $\\Delta t$ (that is, $t_{2}-t_{1}$ ). Since the reactant concentration decreases as the reaction proceeds, $\\Delta\\left[\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}\\right]$ is a negative quantity. Reaction rates are, by convention, positive quantities, and so this negative change in concentration is multiplied by -1 . Figure 17.2 provides an example of data collected during the decomposition of $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}$."} {"id": 4499, "contents": "1773. CHAPTER OUTLINE - 1773.3.

Reaction rates were computed for each time interval by dividing the change in concentration by the corresponding time increment, as shown here for the first 6-hour period:"} {"id": 4500, "contents": "1773.

CHAPTER OUTLINE - 1773.3. Chemical Reaction Rates\nThis behavior indicates the reaction continually slows with time. Using the concentrations at the beginning and end of a time period over which the reaction rate is changing results in the calculation of an average rate for the reaction over this time interval. At any specific time, the rate at which a reaction is proceeding is known as its instantaneous rate. The instantaneous rate of a reaction at \"time zero,\" when the reaction commences, is its initial rate. Consider the analogy of a car slowing down as it approaches a stop sign. The vehicle's initial rate-analogous to the beginning of a chemical reaction-would be the speedometer reading at the moment the driver begins pressing the brakes ( $t_{0}$ ). A few moments later, the instantaneous rate at a specific moment-call it $t_{1}$-would be somewhat slower, as indicated by the speedometer reading at that point in time. As time passes, the instantaneous rate will continue to fall until it reaches zero, when the car (or reaction) stops. Unlike instantaneous speed, the car's average speed is not indicated by the speedometer; but it can be calculated as the ratio of the distance traveled to the time required to bring the vehicle to a complete stop ( $\\Delta t$ ). Like the decelerating car, the average rate of a chemical reaction will fall somewhere between its initial and final rates.\n\nThe instantaneous rate of a reaction may be determined one of two ways. If experimental conditions permit the measurement of concentration changes over very short time intervals, then average rates computed as described earlier provide reasonably good approximations of instantaneous rates. Alternatively, a graphical procedure may be used that, in effect, yields the results that would be obtained if short time interval measurements were possible. In a plot of the concentration of hydrogen peroxide against time, the instantaneous rate of decomposition of $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}$ at any time $t$ is given by the slope of a straight line that is tangent to the curve at that time (Figure 17.3). These tangent line slopes may be evaluated using calculus, but the procedure for doing so is beyond the scope of this chapter."} {"id": 4502, "contents": "1773. CHAPTER OUTLINE - 1773.3.

Reaction Rates in Analysis: Test Strips for Urinalysis - \nPhysicians often use disposable test strips to measure the amounts of various substances in a patient's urine (Figure 17.4). These test strips contain various chemical reagents, embedded in small pads at various locations along the strip, which undergo changes in color upon exposure to sufficient concentrations of specific substances. The usage instructions for test strips often stress that proper read time is critical for optimal results. This emphasis on read time suggests that kinetic aspects of the chemical reactions occurring on the test strip are important considerations.\n\nThe test for urinary glucose relies on a two-step process represented by the chemical equations shown here:\n\n$$\n\\begin{gathered}\n\\mathrm{C}_{6} \\mathrm{H}_{12} \\mathrm{O}_{6}+\\mathrm{O}_{2} \\xrightarrow{\\text { catalyst }} \\mathrm{C}_{6} \\mathrm{H}_{10} \\mathrm{O}_{6}+\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2} \\\\\n2 \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{2}+2 \\mathrm{I}^{-} \\xrightarrow{\\text { catalyst }} \\mathrm{I}_{2}+2 \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}+\\mathrm{O}_{2}\n\\end{gathered}\n$$\n\nThe first equation depicts the oxidation of glucose in the urine to yield glucolactone and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide produced subsequently oxidizes colorless iodide ion to yield brown iodine, which may be visually detected. Some strips include an additional substance that reacts with iodine to produce a more distinct color change.\n\nThe two test reactions shown above are inherently very slow, but their rates are increased by special enzymes embedded in the test strip pad. This is an example of catalysis, a topic discussed later in this chapter. A typical glucose test strip for use with urine requires approximately 30 seconds for completion of the color-forming reactions. Reading the result too soon might lead one to conclude that the glucose concentration of the urine sample is lower than it actually is (a false-negative result). Waiting too long to assess the color change can lead to a false positive due to the slower (not catalyzed) oxidation of iodide ion by other substances found in urine."} {"id": 4504, "contents": "1775.

The Chemical Nature of the Reacting Substances - \nThe rate of a reaction depends on the nature of the participating substances. Reactions that appear similar may have different rates under the same conditions, depending on the identity of the reactants. For example, when small pieces of the metals iron and sodium are exposed to air, the sodium reacts completely with air\novernight, whereas the iron is barely affected. The active metals calcium and sodium both react with water to form hydrogen gas and a base.

The Physical States of the Reactants - \nA chemical reaction between two or more substances requires intimate contact between the reactants. When reactants are in different physical states, or phases (solid, liquid, gaseous, dissolved), the reaction takes place only at the interface between the phases. Consider the heterogeneous reaction between a solid phase and either a liquid or gaseous phase. Compared with the reaction rate for large solid particles, the rate for smaller particles will be greater because the surface area in contact with the other reactant phase is greater. For example, large pieces of iron react more slowly with acids than they do with finely divided iron powder (Figure 17.6). Large pieces of wood smolder, smaller pieces burn rapidly, and saw dust burns explosively.\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\nFIGURE 17.6 (a) Iron powder reacts rapidly with dilute hydrochloric acid and produces bubbles of hydrogen gas: $2 \\mathrm{Fe}(s)+6 \\mathrm{HCl}(a q) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{FeCl}_{3}(a q)+3 \\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)$.

For example, calcium carbonate $\\left(\\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}\\right)$ deteriorates as a result of its reaction with the pollutant sulfur dioxide. The rate of this reaction depends on the amount of sulfur dioxide in the air (Figure 17.7). An acidic oxide, sulfur dioxide combines with water vapor in the air to produce sulfurous acid in the following reaction:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{SO}_{2}(g)+\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(g) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{SO}_{3}(a q)\n$$\n\nCalcium carbonate reacts with sulfurous acid as follows:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}(s)+\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{SO}_{3}(a q) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{CaSO}_{3}(a q)+\\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(l)\n$$\n\nIn a polluted atmosphere where the concentration of sulfur dioxide is high, calcium carbonate deteriorates more rapidly than in less polluted air.

As an example, consider the reaction described by the chemical equation\n\n$$\na A+b B \\longrightarrow \\text { products }\n$$\n\nwhere $a$ and $b$ are stoichiometric coefficients. The rate law for this reaction is written as:\n\n$$\n\\text { rate }=k[A]^{m}[B]^{n}\n$$\n\nin which $[A]$ and $[B]$ represent the molar concentrations of reactants, and $k$ is the rate constant, which is specific for a particular reaction at a particular temperature. The exponents $m$ and $n$ are the reaction orders and are typically positive integers, though they can be fractions, negative, or zero. The rate constant $k$ and the reaction orders $m$ and $n$ must be determined experimentally by observing how the rate of a reaction changes as the concentrations of the reactants are changed. The rate constant $k$ is independent of the reactant concentrations, but it does vary with temperature.\n\nThe reaction orders in a rate law describe the mathematical dependence of the rate on reactant concentrations. Referring to the generic rate law above, the reaction is $m$ order with respect to $A$ and $n$ order with respect to $B$. For example, if $m=1$ and $n=2$, the reaction is first order in $A$ and second order in $B$. The overall reaction order is simply the sum of orders for each reactant. For the example rate law here, the reaction is third order overall $(1+2=3)$.

Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This simple premise is the basis for a very powerful theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.\n\nCollision theory is based on the following postulates:\n\n1. The rate of a reaction is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions:\n\n$$\n\\text { reaction rate } \\propto \\frac{\\# \\text { collisions }}{\\text { time }}\n$$\n\n2. The reacting species must collide in an orientation that allows contact between the atoms that will become bonded together in the product.\n3. The collision must occur with adequate energy to permit mutual penetration of the reacting species' valence shells so that the electrons can rearrange and form new bonds (and new chemical species).\n\nWe can see the importance of the two physical factors noted in postulates 2 and 3 , the orientation and energy\nof collisions, when we consider the reaction of carbon monoxide with oxygen:\n\n$$\n2 \\mathrm{CO}(g)+\\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)\n$$\n\nCarbon monoxide is a pollutant produced by the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. To reduce this pollutant, automobiles have catalytic converters that use a catalyst to carry out this reaction. It is also a side reaction of the combustion of gunpowder that results in muzzle flash for many firearms. If carbon monoxide and oxygen are present in sufficient amounts, the reaction will occur at high temperature and pressure.\n\nThe first step in the gas-phase reaction between carbon monoxide and oxygen is a collision between the two molecules:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{CO}(g)+\\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+\\mathrm{O}(g)\n$$"} {"id": 4582, "contents": "1853. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \n$$\n\\mathrm{CO}(g)+\\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+\\mathrm{O}(g)\n$$\n\nAlthough there are many different possible orientations the two molecules can have relative to each other, consider the two presented in Figure 17.13. In the first case, the oxygen side of the carbon monoxide molecule collides with the oxygen molecule. In the second case, the carbon side of the carbon monoxide molecule collides with the oxygen molecule. The second case is clearly more likely to result in the formation of carbon dioxide, which has a central carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms $(\\mathrm{O}=\\mathrm{C}=\\mathrm{O})$. This is a rather simple example of how important the orientation of the collision is in terms of creating the desired product of the reaction.\n\n\nFIGURE 17.13 Illustrated are two collisions that might take place between carbon monoxide and oxygen molecules. The orientation of the colliding molecules partially determines whether a reaction between the two molecules will occur.\n\nIf the collision does take place with the correct orientation, there is still no guarantee that the reaction will proceed to form carbon dioxide. In addition to a proper orientation, the collision must also occur with sufficient energy to result in product formation. When reactant species collide with both proper orientation and adequate energy, they combine to form an unstable species called an activated complex or a transition state. These species are very short lived and usually undetectable by most analytical instruments. In some cases, sophisticated spectral measurements have been used to observe transition states.\n\nCollision theory explains why most reaction rates increase as concentrations increase. With an increase in the concentration of any reacting substance, the chances for collisions between molecules are increased because there are more molecules per unit of volume. More collisions mean a faster reaction rate, assuming the energy of the collisions is adequate."} {"id": 4583, "contents": "1854. Activation Energy and the Arrhenius Equation - \nThe minimum energy necessary to form a product during a collision between reactants is called the activation energy $\\left(\\boldsymbol{E}_{\\mathrm{a}}\\right)$. How this energy compares to the kinetic energy provided by colliding reactant molecules is a primary factor affecting the rate of a chemical reaction. If the activation energy is much larger than the average kinetic energy of the molecules, the reaction will occur slowly since only a few fast-moving molecules will have enough energy to react. If the activation energy is much smaller than the average kinetic energy of the molecules, a large fraction of molecules will be adequately energetic and the reaction will proceed rapidly.\n\nFigure 17.14 shows how the energy of a chemical system changes as it undergoes a reaction converting reactants to products according to the equation\n\n$$\nA+B \\longrightarrow C+D\n$$\n\nThese reaction diagrams are widely used in chemical kinetics to illustrate various properties of the reaction of interest. Viewing the diagram from left to right, the system initially comprises reactants only, $A+B$. Reactant molecules with sufficient energy can collide to form a high-energy activated complex or transition state. The unstable transition state can then subsequently decay to yield stable products, $C+D$. The diagram depicts the reaction's activation energy, $E_{a}$, as the energy difference between the reactants and the transition state. Using a specific energy, the enthalpy (see chapter on thermochemistry), the enthalpy change of the reaction, $\\Delta H$, is estimated as the energy difference between the reactants and products. In this case, the reaction is exothermic $(\\Delta H<0)$ since it yields a decrease in system enthalpy.\n\n\nFIGURE 17.14 Reaction diagram for the exothermic reaction $A+B \\longrightarrow C+D$.\nThe Arrhenius equation relates the activation energy and the rate constant, $k$, for many chemical reactions:\n\n$$\nk=A e^{-E_{\\mathrm{a}} / R T}\n$$"} {"id": 4584, "contents": "1854.

The frequency factor, $A$, reflects how well the reaction conditions favor properly oriented collisions between reactant molecules. An increased probability of effectively oriented collisions results in larger values for $A$ and faster reaction rates.\nThe exponential term, $e^{-E a / R T}$, describes the effect of activation energy on reaction rate. According to kinetic molecular theory (see chapter on gases), the temperature of matter is a measure of the average kinetic energy of its constituent atoms or molecules. The distribution of energies among the molecules composing a sample of matter at any given temperature is described by the plot shown in Figure 17.15(a). Two shaded areas under the curve represent the numbers of molecules possessing adequate energy $(R T)$ to overcome the activation barriers $\\left(E_{a}\\right)$. A lower activation energy results in a greater fraction of adequately energized molecules and a faster reaction.\n\nThe exponential term also describes the effect of temperature on reaction rate.

The slowest step is therefore called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step) of the reaction Figure 17.18.\n\n\nFIGURE 17.18 A cattle chute is a nonchemical example of a rate-determining step. Cattle can only be moved from one holding pen to another as quickly as one animal can make its way through the chute. (credit: Loren Kerns)\n\nAs described earlier, rate laws may be derived directly from the chemical equations for elementary reactions. This is not the case, however, for ordinary chemical reactions. The balanced equations most often encountered represent the overall change for some chemical system, and very often this is the result of some multistep reaction mechanisms. In every case, the rate law must be determined from experimental data and the reaction mechanism subsequently deduced from the rate law (and sometimes from other data). The reaction of $\\mathrm{NO}_{2}$ and CO provides an illustrative example:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{NO}_{2}(g)+\\mathrm{CO}(g) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+\\mathrm{NO}(g)\n$$\n\nFor temperatures above $225^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, the rate law has been found to be:\n\n$$\n\\text { rate }=k\\left\\mathrm{NO}_{2}\\right\n$$\n\nThe reaction is first order with respect to $\\mathrm{NO}_{2}$ and first-order with respect to CO . This is consistent with a single-step bimolecular mechanism and it is possible that this is the mechanism for this reaction at high temperatures.\n\nAt temperatures below $225^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, the reaction is described by a rate law that is second order with respect to $\\mathrm{NO}_{2}$ :\n\n$$\n\\text { rate }=k\\left[\\mathrm{NO}_{2}\\right]^{2}\n$$\n\nThis rate law is not consistent with the single-step mechanism, but is consistent with the following two-step mechanism:"} {"id": 4598, "contents": "1863.

However, when the rate-determining step is preceded by a step involving a rapidly reversible reaction the rate law for the overall reaction may be more difficult to derive.\n\nAs discussed in several chapters of this text, a reversible reaction is at equilibrium when the rates of the forward and reverse processes are equal.

Catalysts Do Not Affect Equilibrium - \nA catalyst can speed up the rate of a reaction. Though this increase in reaction rate may cause a system to reach equilibrium more quickly (by speeding up the forward and reverse reactions), a catalyst has no effect on the value of an equilibrium constant nor on equilibrium concentrations.\n\nThe interplay of changes in concentration or pressure, temperature, and the lack of an influence of a catalyst on a chemical equilibrium is illustrated in the industrial synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen according to the equation\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{N}_{2}(g)+3 \\mathrm{H}_{2}(g) \\rightleftharpoons 2 \\mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)\n$$\n\nA large quantity of ammonia is manufactured by this reaction.

It is used in the production of fertilizers and is, itself, an important fertilizer for the growth of corn, cotton, and other crops. Large quantities of ammonia are converted to nitric acid, which plays an important role in the production of fertilizers, explosives, plastics, dyes, and fibers, and is also used in the steel industry."} {"id": 4606, "contents": "1871.

For plants to use atmospheric nitrogen, the nitrogen must be converted to a more bioavailable form (this conversion is called nitrogen fixation).\n\nHaber was born in Breslau, Prussia (presently Wroclaw, Poland) in December 1868. He went on to study chemistry and, while at the University of Karlsruhe, he developed what would later be known as the Haber process: the catalytic formation of ammonia from hydrogen and atmospheric nitrogen under high temperatures and pressures. For this work, Haber was awarded the 1918 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for synthesis of ammonia from its elements. The Haber process was a boon to agriculture, as it allowed the production of fertilizers to no longer be dependent on mined feed stocks such as sodium nitrate. Currently, the annual production of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers exceeds 100 million tons and synthetic fertilizer production has increased the number of humans that arable land can support from 1.9 persons per hectare in 1908 to 4.3 in 2008.\n\n\nFIGURE 17.19 The work of Nobel Prize recipient Fritz Haber revolutionized agricultural practices in the early 20th century.

During World War I, he played a major role in the development of poisonous gases used for trench warfare. Regarding his role in these developments, Haber said, \"During peace time a scientist belongs to the World, but during war time he belongs to his country.\" ${ }^{1}$ Haber defended the use of gas warfare against accusations that it was inhumane, saying that death was death, by whatever means it was inflicted. He stands as an example of the ethical dilemmas that face scientists in times of war and the double-edged nature of the sword of science.\n\nLike Haber, the products made from ammonia can be multifaceted. In addition to their value for agriculture, nitrogen compounds can also be used to achieve destructive ends. Ammonium nitrate has also been used in explosives, including improvised explosive devices. Ammonium nitrate was one of the components of the bomb used in the attack on the Alfred P.

At room temperature, for example, the reaction is so slow that if we prepared a mixture of $\\mathrm{N}_{2}$ and $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$, no detectable amount of ammonia would form during our lifetime.

If we lower the temperature to shift the equilibrium to favor the formation of more ammonia, equilibrium is reached more slowly because of the large decrease of reaction rate with decreasing temperature.\n\nPart of the rate of formation lost by operating at lower temperatures can be recovered by using a catalyst. The net effect of the catalyst on the reaction is to cause equilibrium to be reached more rapidly.\n\n[^10]In the commercial production of ammonia, conditions of about $500^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}, 150-900 \\mathrm{~atm}$, and the presence of a catalyst are used to give the best compromise among rate, yield, and the cost of the equipment necessary to produce and contain high-pressure gases at high temperatures (Figure 17.20).\n\n\nFIGURE 17.20 Commercial production of ammonia requires heavy equipment to handle the high temperatures and pressures required.

There are two models that attempt to explain how this active site works. The most simplistic model is referred to as the lock-and-key hypothesis, which suggests that the molecular shapes of the active site and substrate are complementary, fitting together like a key in a lock. The induced fit hypothesis, on the other hand, suggests that the enzyme molecule is flexible and changes shape to accommodate a bond with the substrate. This is not to suggest that an enzyme's active site is completely malleable, however. Both the lock-and-key model and the induced fit model account for the fact that enzymes can only bind with specific substrates, since in general a particular enzyme only catalyzes a particular reaction (Figure 17.27).\n\n\nFIGURE 17.27 (a) According to the lock-and-key model, the shape of an enzyme's active site is a perfect fit for the substrate.

In doing so, catalysts usually speed up the rate at which reactions attain equilibrium (though they can be used to slow down the rate of reaction as well!)."} {"id": 4623, "contents": "1889.

Rate Laws\nRate laws (differential rate laws) provide a mathematical description of how changes in the concentration of a substance affect the rate of a chemical reaction. Rate laws are determined experimentally and cannot be predicted by reaction stoichiometry. The order of reaction describes how much a change in the concentration of each substance affects the overall rate, and the overall order of a reaction is the sum of the orders for each substance present in the reaction.

A reaction's half-life varies with rate constant and,\nfor some reaction orders, reactant concentration.

Reaction Mechanisms\nThe sequence of individual steps, or elementary reactions, by which reactants are converted into products during the course of a reaction is called the reaction mechanism. The molecularity of an elementary reaction is the number of reactant species involved, typically one (unimolecular), two (bimolecular), or, less commonly, three (termolecular). The overall rate of a reaction is determined by the rate of the slowest in its mechanism, called the rate-determining step. Unimolecular elementary reactions have first-order rate laws, while bimolecular elementary reactions have second-order rate laws.

Chemists, who have an understanding of the variations of these properties, have been able to use this knowledge to solve a wide variety of technical challenges. For example, silicon and other semiconductors form the backbone of modern electronics because of our ability to fine-tune the electrical properties of these materials. This chapter explores important properties of representative metals, metalloids, and nonmetals in the periodic table."} {"id": 4668, "contents": "1896. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Classify elements\n- Make predictions about the periodicity properties of the representative elements\n\nWe begin this section by examining the behaviors of representative metals in relation to their positions in the periodic table. The primary focus of this section will be the application of periodicity to the representative metals.\n\nIt is possible to divide elements into groups according to their electron configurations. The representative elements are elements where the $s$ and $p$ orbitals are filling. The transition elements are elements where the $d$ orbitals (groups 3-11 on the periodic table) are filling, and the inner transition metals are the elements where the $f$ orbitals are filling. The $d$ orbitals fill with the elements in group 11; therefore, the elements in group 12 qualify as representative elements because the last electron enters an $s$ orbital. Metals among the representative elements are the representative metals. Metallic character results from an element's ability to lose its outer valence electrons and results in high thermal and electrical conductivity, among other physical and chemical properties. There are 20 nonradioactive representative metals in groups $1,2,3,12,13,14$, and 15 of the periodic table (the elements shaded in yellow in Figure 18.2). The radioactive elements copernicium, flerovium, polonium, and livermorium are also metals but are beyond the scope of this chapter.\n\nIn addition to the representative metals, some of the representative elements are metalloids. A metalloid is an element that has properties that are between those of metals and nonmetals; these elements are typically semiconductors.\n\nThe remaining representative elements are nonmetals. Unlike metals, which typically form cations and ionic compounds (containing ionic bonds), nonmetals tend to form anions or molecular compounds. In general, the combination of a metal and a nonmetal produces a salt. A salt is an ionic compound consisting of cations and anions.\n\n\nFIGURE 18.2 The location of the representative metals is shown in the periodic table. Nonmetals are shown in green, metalloids in purple, and the transition metals and inner transition metals in blue."} {"id": 4669, "contents": "1896. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nFIGURE 18.2 The location of the representative metals is shown in the periodic table. Nonmetals are shown in green, metalloids in purple, and the transition metals and inner transition metals in blue.\n\nMost of the representative metals do not occur naturally in an uncombined state because they readily react with water and oxygen in the air. However, it is possible to isolate elemental beryllium, magnesium, zinc, cadmium, mercury, aluminum, tin, and lead from their naturally occurring minerals and use them because they react very slowly with air. Part of the reason why these elements react slowly is that these elements react with air to form a protective coating. The formation of this protective coating is passivation. The coating is a nonreactive film of oxide or some other compound. Elemental magnesium, aluminum, zinc, and tin are important in the fabrication of many familiar items, including wire, cookware, foil, and many household and personal objects. Although beryllium, cadmium, mercury, and lead are readily available, there are limitations in their use because of their toxicity."} {"id": 4670, "contents": "1897. Group 1: The Alkali Metals - \nThe alkali metals lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium constitute group 1 of the periodic table. Although hydrogen is in group 1 (and also in group 17), it is a nonmetal and deserves separate consideration later in this chapter. The name alkali metal is in reference to the fact that these metals and their oxides react with water to form very basic (alkaline) solutions.\n\nThe properties of the alkali metals are similar to each other as expected for elements in the same family. The alkali metals have the largest atomic radii and the lowest first ionization energy in their periods. This combination makes it very easy to remove the single electron in the outermost (valence) shell of each. The easy loss of this valence electron means that these metals readily form stable cations with a charge of $1+$. Their\nreactivity increases with increasing atomic number due to the ease of losing the lone valence electron (decreasing ionization energy). Since oxidation is so easy, the reverse, reduction, is difficult, which explains why it is hard to isolate the elements. The solid alkali metals are very soft; lithium, shown in Figure 18.3, has the lowest density of any metal $\\left(0.5 \\mathrm{~g} / \\mathrm{cm}^{3}\\right)$.\n\nThe alkali metals all react vigorously with water to form hydrogen gas and a basic solution of the metal hydroxide. This means they are easier to oxidize than is hydrogen. As an example, the reaction of lithium with water is:\n\n\nFIGURE 18.3 Lithium floats in paraffin oil because its density is less than the density of paraffin oil.\nAlkali metals react directly with all the nonmetals (except the noble gases) to yield binary ionic compounds containing $1+$ metal ions. These metals are so reactive that it is necessary to avoid contact with both moisture and oxygen in the air. Therefore, they are stored in sealed containers under mineral oil, as shown in Figure 18.4 , to prevent contact with air and moisture. The pure metals never exist free (uncombined) in nature due to their high reactivity. In addition, this high reactivity makes it necessary to prepare the metals by electrolysis of alkali metal compounds."} {"id": 4671, "contents": "1897. Group 1: The Alkali Metals - \nFIGURE 18.4 To prevent contact with air and water, potassium for laboratory use comes as sticks or beads stored under kerosene or mineral oil, or in sealed containers. (credit: http://images-of-elements.com/potassium.php)\n\nUnlike many other metals, the reactivity and softness of the alkali metals make these metals unsuitable for structural applications. However, there are applications where the reactivity of the alkali metals is an advantage. For example, the production of metals such as titanium and zirconium relies, in part, on the ability of sodium to reduce compounds of these metals. The manufacture of many organic compounds, including\ncertain dyes, drugs, and perfumes, utilizes reduction by lithium or sodium.\nSodium and its compounds impart a bright yellow color to a flame, as seen in Figure 18.5. Passing an electrical discharge through sodium vapor also produces this color. In both cases, this is an example of an emission spectrum as discussed in the chapter on electronic structure. Streetlights sometime employ sodium vapor lights because the sodium vapor penetrates fog better than most other light. This is because the fog does not scatter yellow light as much as it scatters white light. The other alkali metals and their salts also impart color to a flame. Lithium creates a bright, crimson color, whereas the others create a pale, violet color.\n\n\nFIGURE 18.5 Dipping a wire into a solution of a sodium salt and then heating the wire causes emission of a bright yellow light, characteristic of sodium."} {"id": 4672, "contents": "1898.

Group 2: The Alkaline Earth Metals - \nThe alkaline earth metals (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium) constitute group 2 of the periodic table. The name alkaline metal comes from the fact that the oxides of the heavier members of the group react with water to form alkaline solutions. The nuclear charge increases when going from group 1 to group 2. Because of this charge increase, the atoms of the alkaline earth metals are smaller and have higher first ionization energies than the alkali metals within the same period. The higher ionization energy makes the alkaline earth metals less reactive than the alkali metals; however, they are still very reactive elements. Their reactivity increases, as expected, with increasing size and decreasing ionization energy. In chemical reactions, these metals readily lose both valence electrons to form compounds in which they exhibit an oxidation state of $2+$. Due to their high reactivity, it is common to produce the alkaline earth metals, like the alkali metals, by\nelectrolysis. Even though the ionization energies are low, the two metals with the highest ionization energies (beryllium and magnesium) do form compounds that exhibit some covalent characters. Like the alkali metals, the heavier alkaline earth metals impart color to a flame. As in the case of the alkali metals, this is part of the emission spectrum of these elements. Calcium and strontium produce shades of red, whereas barium produces a green color.\n\nMagnesium is a silver-white metal that is malleable and ductile at high temperatures. Passivation decreases the reactivity of magnesium metal. Upon exposure to air, a tightly adhering layer of magnesium oxycarbonate forms on the surface of the metal and inhibits further reaction. (The carbonate comes from the reaction of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.) Magnesium is the lightest of the widely used structural metals, which is why most magnesium production is for lightweight alloys."} {"id": 4674, "contents": "1899. Group 2: The Alkaline Earth Metals - \nMagnesium (shown in Figure 18.6), calcium, strontium, and barium react with water and air. At room temperature, barium shows the most vigorous reaction. The products of the reaction with water are hydrogen and the metal hydroxide. The formation of hydrogen gas indicates that the heavier alkaline earth metals are better reducing agents (more easily oxidized) than is hydrogen. As expected, these metals react with both acids and nonmetals to form ionic compounds. Unlike most salts of the alkali metals, many of the common salts of the alkaline earth metals are insoluble in water because of the high lattice energies of these compounds, containing a divalent metal ion.\n\n\nFIGURE 18.6 From left to right: $\\mathrm{Mg}(s)$, warm water at pH 7 , and the resulting solution with a pH greater than 7 , as indicated by the pink color of the phenolphthalein indicator. (credit: modification of work by Sahar Atwa)\n\nThe potent reducing power of hot magnesium is useful in preparing some metals from their oxides. Indeed, magnesium's affinity for oxygen is so great that burning magnesium reacts with carbon dioxide, producing elemental carbon:\n\n$$\n2 \\mathrm{Mg}(s)+\\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{MgO}(s)+\\mathrm{C}(s)\n$$\n\nFor this reason, $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ fire extinguisher will not extinguish a magnesium fire. Additionally, the brilliant white light emitted by burning magnesium makes it useful in flares and fireworks."} {"id": 4675, "contents": "1900. Group 12 - \nThe elements in group 12 are transition elements; however, the last electron added is not a $d$ electron, but an $s$ electron. Since the last electron added is an $s$ electron, these elements qualify as representative metals, or post-transition metals. The group 12 elements behave more like the alkaline earth metals than transition metals. Group 12 contains the four elements zinc, cadmium, mercury, and copernicium. Each of these elements has two electrons in its outer shell $\\left(n s^{2}\\right)$. When atoms of these metals form cations with a charge of $2+$, where the two outer electrons are lost, they have pseudo-noble gas electron configurations. Mercury is sometimes an exception because it also exhibits an oxidation state of $1+i n$ compounds that contain a diatomic $\\mathrm{Hg}_{2}{ }^{2+}$ ion. In their elemental forms and in compounds, cadmium and mercury are both toxic.\n\nZinc is the most reactive in group 12, and mercury is the least reactive. (This is the reverse of the reactivity\ntrend of the metals of groups 1 and 2, in which reactivity increases down a group. The increase in reactivity with increasing atomic number only occurs for the metals in groups 1 and 2.) The decreasing reactivity is due to the formation of ions with a pseudo-noble gas configuration and to other factors that are beyond the scope of this discussion. The chemical behaviors of zinc and cadmium are quite similar to each other but differ from that of mercury.\n\nZinc and cadmium have lower reduction potentials than hydrogen, and, like the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, they will produce hydrogen gas when they react with acids. The reaction of zinc with hydrochloric acid, shown in Figure 18.7, is:\n\n\nFIGURE 18.7 Zinc is an active metal. It dissolves in hydrochloric acid, forming a solution of colorless $\\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}$ ions, $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions, and hydrogen gas."} {"id": 4676, "contents": "1900. Group 12 - \nZinc is a silvery metal that quickly tarnishes to a blue-gray appearance. This change in color is due to an adherent coating of a basic carbonate, $\\mathrm{Zn}_{2}(\\mathrm{OH})_{2} \\mathrm{CO}_{3}$, which passivates the metal to inhibit further corrosion. Dry cell and alkaline batteries contain a zinc anode. Brass ( Cu and Zn ) and some bronze ( Cu , Sn , and sometimes Zn ) are important zinc alloys. About half of zinc production serves to protect iron and other metals from corrosion. This protection may take the form of a sacrificial anode (also known as a galvanic anode, which is a means of providing cathodic protection for various metals) or as a thin coating on the protected metal. Galvanized steel is steel with a protective coating of zinc."} {"id": 4677, "contents": "1902. Sacrificial Anodes - \nA sacrificial anode, or galvanic anode, is a means of providing cathodic protection of various metals. Cathodic protection refers to the prevention of corrosion by converting the corroding metal into a cathode. As a cathode, the metal resists corrosion, which is an oxidation process. Corrosion occurs at the sacrificial anode instead of at the cathode.\n\nThe construction of such a system begins with the attachment of a more active metal (more negative reduction potential) to the metal needing protection. Attachment may be direct or via a wire. To complete the circuit, a salt bridge is necessary. This salt bridge is often seawater or ground water. Once the circuit is complete, oxidation (corrosion) occurs at the anode and not the cathode.\n\nThe commonly used sacrificial anodes are magnesium, aluminum, and zinc. Magnesium has the most negative reduction potential of the three and serves best when the salt bridge is less efficient due to a low electrolyte concentration such as in freshwater. Zinc and aluminum work better in saltwater than does magnesium. Aluminum is lighter than zinc and has a higher capacity; however, an oxide coating may passivate the aluminum. In special cases, other materials are useful. For example, iron will protect copper.\n\nMercury is very different from zinc and cadmium. Mercury is the only metal that is liquid at $25^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$. Many metals dissolve in mercury, forming solutions called amalgams (see the feature on Amalgams), which are alloys of mercury with one or more other metals. Mercury, shown in Figure 18.8, is a nonreactive element that is more difficult to oxidize than hydrogen. Thus, it does not displace hydrogen from acids; however, it will react with strong oxidizing acids, such as nitric acid:\n\n$$\n\\begin{gathered}\n\\mathrm{Hg}(l)+\\mathrm{HCl}(a q) \\longrightarrow \\text { no reaction } \\\\\n3 \\mathrm{Hg}(l)+8 \\mathrm{HNO}_{3}(a q) \\longrightarrow 3 \\mathrm{Hg}\\left(\\mathrm{NO}_{3}\\right)_{2}(a q)+4 \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(l)+2 \\mathrm{NO}(g)\n\\end{gathered}\n$$"} {"id": 4678, "contents": "1902.

Amalgams - \nAn amalgam is an alloy of mercury with one or more other metals. This is similar to considering steel to be an alloy of iron with other metals. Most metals will form an amalgam with mercury, with the main exceptions being iron, platinum, tungsten, and tantalum.\n\nDue to toxicity issues with mercury, there has been a significant decrease in the use of amalgams. Historically, amalgams were important in electrolytic cells and in the extraction of gold. Amalgams of the alkali metals still find use because they are strong reducing agents and easier to handle than the pure alkali metals.\n\nProspectors had a problem when they found finely divided gold. They learned that adding mercury to their pans collected the gold into the mercury to form an amalgam for easier collection. Unfortunately, losses of small amounts of mercury over the years left many streams in California polluted with mercury.\n\nDentists use amalgams containing silver and other metals to fill cavities. There are several reasons to use an amalgam including low cost, ease of manipulation, and longevity compared to alternate materials. Dental amalgams are approximately $50 \\%$ mercury by weight, which, in recent years, has become a concern due to the toxicity of mercury.\n\nAfter reviewing the best available data, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers amalgam-based fillings to be safe for adults and children over six years of age. Even with multiple fillings, the mercury levels in the patients remain far below the lowest levels associated with harm. Clinical studies have found no link between dental amalgams and health problems. Health issues may not be the same in cases of\nchildren under six or pregnant women. The FDA conclusions are in line with the opinions of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

The lightest element, boron, is semiconducting, and its binary compounds tend to be covalent and not ionic. The remaining elements of the group are metals, but their oxides and hydroxides change characters. The oxides and hydroxides of aluminum and gallium exhibit both acidic and basic behaviors. A substance, such as these two, that will react with both acids and bases is amphoteric. This characteristic illustrates the combination of nonmetallic and metallic behaviors of these two elements. Indium and thallium oxides and hydroxides exhibit only basic behavior, in accordance with the clearly metallic character of these two elements.

Because of the formation of an amalgam, mercury is corrosive to structural materials made of aluminum. This video (http://openstax.org/l/16aluminumhg) demonstrates how the integrity of an aluminum beam can be destroyed by the addition of a small amount of elemental mercury.\n\nThe most important uses of aluminum are in the construction and transportation industries, and in the manufacture of aluminum cans and aluminum foil. These uses depend on the lightness, toughness, and strength of the metal, as well as its resistance to corrosion. Because aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat and resists corrosion, it is useful in the manufacture of cooking utensils.\n\nAluminum is a very good reducing agent and may replace other reducing agents in the isolation of certain metals from their oxides.

White tin is stable above $13.2^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ and is malleable like other metals. At low temperatures, gray tin is the more stable form. Gray tin is brittle and tends to break down to a powder. Consequently, articles made of tin will disintegrate in cold weather, particularly if the cold spell is lengthy. The change progresses slowly from the spot of origin, and the gray tin that is first formed catalyzes further change. In a way, this effect is similar to the spread of an infection in a plant or animal body, leading people to call this process tin disease or tin pest.\n\nThe principal use of tin is in the coating of steel to form tin plate-sheet iron, which constitutes the tin in tin cans.

For example, it is possible to produce potassium, rubidium, and cesium by chemical reduction, as it is possible to reduce the molten chlorides of these metals with sodium metal. This may be surprising given that these metals are more reactive than sodium; however, the metals formed are more volatile than sodium and can be distilled for collection. The removal of the metal vapor leads to a shift in the equilibrium to produce more metal (see how reactions can be driven in the discussions of Le Ch\u00e2telier's principle in the chapter on fundamental equilibrium concepts).\n\nThe production of magnesium, zinc, and tin provide additional examples of chemical reduction.\n\nThe Preparation of Magnesium\nThe Pidgeon process involves the reaction of magnesium oxide with elemental silicon at high temperatures to form pure magnesium:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{Si}(s)+2 \\mathrm{MgO}(s) \\xrightarrow{\\Delta} \\mathrm{SiO}_{2}(s)+2 \\mathrm{Mg}(g)\n$$\n\nAlthough this reaction is unfavorable in terms of thermodynamics, the removal of the magnesium vapor produced takes advantage of Le Ch\u00e2telier's principle to continue the forward progress of the reaction.

The metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. These elements look metallic; however, they do not conduct electricity as well as metals so they are semiconductors. They are semiconductors because their electrons are more tightly bound to their nuclei than are those of metallic conductors. Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form monatomic anions. This intermediate behavior is in part due to their intermediate electronegativity values. In this section, we will briefly discuss the chemical behavior of metalloids and deal with two of these elements-boron and silicon-in more detail.\n\nThe metalloid boron exhibits many similarities to its neighbor carbon and its diagonal neighbor silicon. All three elements form covalent compounds. However, boron has one distinct difference in that its $2 s^{2} 2 p^{1}$ outer electron structure gives it one less valence electron than it has valence orbitals. Although boron exhibits an oxidation state of $3+$ in most of its stable compounds, this electron deficiency provides boron with the ability to form other, sometimes fractional, oxidation states, which occur, for example, in the boron hydrides."} {"id": 4696, "contents": "1912. The Preparation of Tin - 1912.1. Structure and General Properties of the Metalloids\nSilicon has the valence shell electron configuration $3 s^{2} 3 p^{2}$, and it commonly forms tetrahedral structures in which it is $s p^{3}$ hybridized with a formal oxidation state of $4+$. The major differences between the chemistry of carbon and silicon result from the relative strength of the carbon-carbon bond, carbon's ability to form stable bonds to itself, and the presence of the empty $3 d$ valence-shell orbitals in silicon. Silicon's empty $d$ orbitals and boron's empty $p$ orbital enable tetrahedral silicon compounds and trigonal planar boron compounds to act as Lewis acids. Carbon, on the other hand, has no available valence shell orbitals; tetrahedral carbon compounds cannot act as Lewis acids. Germanium is very similar to silicon in its chemical behavior.\n\nArsenic and antimony generally form compounds in which an oxidation state of $3+$ or $5+$ is exhibited; however, arsenic can form arsenides with an oxidation state of $3-$. These elements tarnish only slightly in dry air but readily oxidize when warmed.\n\nTellurium combines directly with most elements. The most stable tellurium compounds are the tellurides-salts of $\\mathrm{Te}^{2-}$ formed with active metals and lanthanides-and compounds with oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine, in which tellurium normally exhibits an oxidation state $2+$ or $4+$. Although tellurium(VI) compounds are known (for example, $\\mathrm{TeF}_{6}$ ), there is a marked resistance to oxidation to this maximum group oxidation state."} {"id": 4697, "contents": "1913.

Silicon and germanium crystallize with a diamond structure. Each atom within the crystal has covalent bonds to four neighboring atoms at the corners of a regular tetrahedron. Single crystals of silicon and germanium are giant, three-dimensional molecules. There are several allotropes of arsenic with the most stable being layer like and containing puckered sheets of arsenic atoms. Each arsenic atom forms covalent bonds to three other atoms within the sheet. The crystal structure of antimony is similar to that of arsenic, both shown in Figure 18.12. The structures of arsenic and antimony are similar to the structure of graphite, covered later in this chapter. Tellurium forms crystals that contain infinite spiral chains of tellurium atoms.

(d) Elemental tellurium forms spiral chains.\n\nPure crystalline boron is transparent. The crystals consist of icosahedra, as shown in Figure 18.13, with a boron atom at each corner. In the most common form of boron, the icosahedra pack together in a manner similar to the cubic closest packing of spheres. All boron-boron bonds within each icosahedron are identical and are approximately 176 pm in length. In the different forms of boron, there are different arrangements and connections between the icosahedra.\n\n\nFIGURE 18.13 An icosahedron is a symmetrical, solid shape with 20 faces, each of which is an equilateral triangle. The faces meet at 12 corners.\n\nThe name silicon is derived from the Latin word for flint, silex.

In nature, it only occurs in compounds with oxygen.

Slowly lowering the rod through the heat source moves the molten zone from one end of the rod to other. As this thin, molten region moves, impurities in the silicon dissolve in the liquid silicon and move with the molten region. Ultimately, the impurities move to one end of the rod, which is then cut off.\n\n\nFIGURE 18.14 A zone-refining apparatus used to purify silicon.\nThis highly purified silicon, containing no more than one part impurity per million parts of silicon, is the most important element in the computer industry.

We know that electronegativity decreases as we move down a given group and increases as we move from left to right across a period. The nonmetals have higher electronegativities than do metals, and compounds formed between metals and nonmetals are generally ionic in nature because of the large differences in electronegativity between them. The metals form cations, the nonmetals form anions, and the resulting compounds are solids under normal conditions. On the other hand, compounds formed between two or more nonmetals have small differences in electronegativity between the atoms, and covalent bonding-sharing of electrons-results. These substances tend to be molecular in nature and are gases, liquids, or volatile solids at room temperature and pressure.\n\nIn normal chemical processes, nonmetals do not form monatomic positive ions (cations) because their ionization energies are too high. All monatomic nonmetal ions are anions; examples include the chloride ion, $\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$, the nitride ion, $\\mathrm{N}^{3-}$, and the selenide ion, $\\mathrm{Se}^{2-}$."} {"id": 4710, "contents": "1916. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nThe common oxidation states that the nonmetals exhibit in their ionic and covalent compounds are shown in Figure 18.19. Remember that an element exhibits a positive oxidation state when combined with a more electronegative element and that it exhibits a negative oxidation state when combined with a less electronegative element.\n\n\nFIGURE 18.19 Nonmetals exhibit these common oxidation states in ionic and covalent compounds.\nThe first member of each nonmetal group exhibits different behaviors, in many respects, from the other group members. The reasons for this include smaller size, greater ionization energy, and (most important) the fact that the first member of each group has only four valence orbitals (one $2 s$ and three $2 p$ ) available for bonding, whereas other group members have empty $d$ orbitals in their valence shells, making possible five, six, or even more bonds around the central atom. For example, nitrogen forms only $\\mathrm{NF}_{3}$, whereas phosphorus forms both $\\mathrm{PF}_{3}$ and $\\mathrm{PF}_{5}$.\n\nAnother difference between the first group member and subsequent members is the greater ability of the first member to form $\\pi$ bonds. This is primarily a function of the smaller size of the first member of each group, which allows better overlap of atomic orbitals. Nonmetals, other than the first member of each group, rarely form $\\pi$ bonds to nonmetals that are the first member of a group. For example, sulfur-oxygen $\\pi$ bonds are well known, whereas sulfur does not normally form stable $\\pi$ bonds to itself.\n\nThe variety of oxidation states displayed by most of the nonmetals means that many of their chemical reactions involve changes in oxidation state through oxidation-reduction reactions. There are five general aspects of the oxidation-reduction chemistry:\n\n1. Nonmetals oxidize most metals. The oxidation state of the metal becomes positive as it undergoes oxidation and that of the nonmetal becomes negative as it undergoes reduction. For example:\n\n$$\n\\begin{array}{cccc}\n4 \\mathrm{Fe}(s)+ & 3 \\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) & \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{3}(s) \\\\\n0 & 0 & +3-2\n\\end{array}\n$$"} {"id": 4711, "contents": "1916. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \n2. With the exception of nitrogen and carbon, which are poor oxidizing agents, a more electronegative nonmetal oxidizes a less electronegative nonmetal or the anion of the nonmetal:\n\n$$\n\\begin{array}{cccc}\n\\begin{array}{llll}\n\\mathrm{S}(s)+ & \\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) & \\longrightarrow & 2 \\mathrm{SO}_{2}(s) \\\\\n0 & 0 & & +4-2 \\\\\n& & & \\\\\n\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g)+ & 2 \\mathrm{I}^{-}(a q) & \\longrightarrow & \\mathrm{I}_{2}(s)+2 \\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(a q) \\\\\n0 & & 0\n\\end{array}\n\\end{array}\n$$\n\n3. Fluorine and oxygen are the strongest oxidizing agents within their respective groups; each oxidizes all the elements that lie below it in the group. Within any period, the strongest oxidizing agent is in group 17. A nonmetal often oxidizes an element that lies to its left in the same period. For example:\n\n$$\n\\begin{array}{llll}\n2 \\operatorname{As}(s)+ & 3 \\mathrm{Br}_{2}(l) \\longrightarrow & 2 \\mathrm{AsBr}_{3}(s) \\\\\n0 & +3-1\n\\end{array}\n$$\n\n4. The stronger a nonmetal is as an oxidizing agent, the more difficult it is to oxidize the anion formed by the nonmetal. This means that the most stable negative ions are formed by elements at the top of the group or in group 17 of the period.\n5. Fluorine and oxygen are the strongest oxidizing elements known. Fluorine does not form compounds in which it exhibits positive oxidation states; oxygen exhibits a positive oxidation state only when combined with fluorine. For example:\n\n$$\n\\begin{array}{lll}\n2 \\mathrm{~F}_{2}(g)+2 \\mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q) \\longrightarrow & \\mathrm{OF}_{2}(g)+2 \\mathrm{~F}^{-}(a q)+\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(l) \\\\\n0 & +2 \\quad-1\n\\end{array}\n$$"} {"id": 4712, "contents": "1916. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nWith the exception of most of the noble gases, all nonmetals form compounds with oxygen, yielding covalent oxides. Most of these oxides are acidic, that is, they react with water to form oxyacids. Recall from the acid-base chapter that an oxyacid is an acid consisting of hydrogen, oxygen, and some other element. Notable exceptions are carbon monoxide, CO , nitrous oxide, $\\mathrm{N}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$, and nitric oxide, NO . There are three characteristics of these acidic oxides:\n\n1. Oxides such as $\\mathrm{SO}_{2}$ and $\\mathrm{N}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{5}$, in which the nonmetal exhibits one of its common oxidation states, are acid anhydrides and react with water to form acids with no change in oxidation state.

Metals crystallize in closely packed arrays that do not contain molecules or covalent bonds. Nonmetal structures contain covalent bonds, and many nonmetals consist of individual molecules. The electrons in nonmetals are localized in covalent bonds,\nwhereas in a metal, there is delocalization of the electrons throughout the solid.\nThe noble gases are all monatomic, whereas the other nonmetal gases-hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine-normally exist as the diatomic molecules $\\mathrm{H}_{2}, \\mathrm{~N}_{2}, \\mathrm{O}_{2}, \\mathrm{~F}_{2}$, and $\\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$.

Carbon - \nCarbon occurs in the uncombined (elemental) state in many forms, such as diamond, graphite, charcoal, coke, carbon black, graphene, and fullerene.\n\nDiamond, shown in Figure 18.20, is a very hard crystalline material that is colorless and transparent when pure. Each atom forms four single bonds to four other atoms at the corners of a tetrahedron ( $s p^{3}$ hybridization); this makes the diamond a giant molecule. Carbon-carbon single bonds are very strong, and, because they extend throughout the crystal to form a three-dimensional network, the crystals are very hard and have high melting points $\\left(\\sim 4400^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}\\right)$.\n\n\nFIGURE 18.20 (a) Diamond and (b) graphite are two forms of carbon.

These properties relate to its structure, which consists of layers of carbon atoms, with each atom surrounded by three other carbon atoms in a trigonal planar arrangement. Each carbon atom in graphite forms three $\\sigma$ bonds, one to each of its nearest neighbors, by means of $s p^{2}$-hybrid orbitals. The unhybridized $p$ orbital on each carbon atom will overlap unhybridized orbitals on adjacent carbon atoms in the same layer to form $\\pi$ bonds. Many resonance forms are necessary to describe the electronic structure of a graphite layer; Figure 18.21 illustrates two of these forms.\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\nFIGURE 18.21 (a) Carbon atoms in graphite have unhybridized $p$ orbitals.

Carbon - \nAtoms within a graphite layer are bonded together tightly by the $\\sigma$ and $\\pi$ bonds; however, the forces between layers are weak. London dispersion forces hold the layers together. To learn more, see the discussion of these weak forces in the chapter on liquids and solids. The weak forces between layers give graphite the soft, flaky character that makes it useful as the so-called \"lead\" in pencils and the slippery character that makes it useful as a lubricant. The loosely held electrons in the resonating $\\pi$ bonds can move throughout the solid and are responsible for the electrical conductivity of graphite.\n\nOther forms of elemental carbon include carbon black, charcoal, and coke. Carbon black is an amorphous form of carbon prepared by the incomplete combustion of natural gas, $\\mathrm{CH}_{4}$. It is possible to produce charcoal and coke by heating wood and coal, respectively, at high temperatures in the absence of air.\n\nRecently, new forms of elemental carbon molecules have been identified in the soot generated by a smoky flame and in the vapor produced when graphite is heated to very high temperatures in a vacuum or in helium. One of these new forms, first isolated by Professor Richard Smalley and coworkers at Rice University, consists of icosahedral (soccer-ball-shaped) molecules that contain 60 carbon atoms, $\\mathrm{C}_{60}$. This is buckminsterfullerene (often called bucky balls) after the architect Buckminster Fuller, who designed domed structures, which have a similar appearance (Figure 18.22).\n\n\nFIGURE 18.22 The molecular structure of $\\mathrm{C}_{60}$, buckminsterfullerene, is icosahedral."} {"id": 4717, "contents": "1920. Nanotubes and Graphene - \nGraphene and carbon nanotubes are two recently discovered allotropes of carbon. Both of the forms bear some relationship to graphite. Graphene is a single layer of graphite (one atom thick), as illustrated in Figure 18.23, whereas carbon nanotubes roll the layer into a small tube, as illustrated in Figure 18.23.\n\n\nFIGURE 18.23 (a) Graphene and (b) carbon nanotubes are both allotropes of carbon.\nGraphene is a very strong, lightweight, and efficient conductor of heat and electricity discovered in 2003. As in graphite, the carbon atoms form a layer of six-membered rings with $s p^{2}$-hybridized carbon atoms at the corners. Resonance stabilizes the system and leads to its conductivity. Unlike graphite, there is no stacking of the layers to give a three-dimensional structure. Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov at the University of Manchester won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics for their pioneering work characterizing graphene.\n\nThe simplest procedure for preparing graphene is to use a piece of adhesive tape to remove a single layer of graphene from the surface of a piece of graphite. This method works because there are only weak London dispersion forces between the layers in graphite. Alternative methods are to deposit a single layer of carbon atoms on the surface of some other material (ruthenium, iridium, or copper) or to synthesize it at the surface of silicon carbide via the sublimation of silicon.\n\nThere currently are no commercial applications of graphene. However, its unusual properties, such as high electron mobility and thermal conductivity, should make it suitable for the manufacture of many advanced electronic devices and for thermal management applications.\n\nCarbon nanotubes are carbon allotropes, which have a cylindrical structure. Like graphite and graphene, nanotubes consist of rings of $s p^{2}$-hybridized carbon atoms. Unlike graphite and graphene, which occur in layers, the layers wrap into a tube and bond together to produce a stable structure. The walls of the tube may be one atom or multiple atoms thick.\n\nCarbon nanotubes are extremely strong materials that are harder than diamond. Depending upon the shape of the nanotube, it may be a conductor or semiconductor.

Phosphorus - \nThe name phosphorus comes from the Greek words meaning light bringing. When phosphorus was first isolated, scientists noted that it glowed in the dark and burned when exposed to air. Phosphorus is the only member of its group that does not occur in the uncombined state in nature; it exists in many allotropic forms. We will consider two of those forms: white phosphorus and red phosphorus.\n\nWhite phosphorus is a white, waxy solid that melts at $44.2^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ and boils at $280^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$. It is insoluble in water (in which it is stored-see Figure 18.24), is very soluble in carbon disulfide, and bursts into flame in air.

Sulfur - \nThe allotropy of sulfur is far greater and more complex than that of any other element. Sulfur is the brimstone referred to in the Bible and other places, and references to sulfur occur throughout recorded history-right up to the relatively recent discovery that it is a component of the atmospheres of Venus and of Io, a moon of Jupiter. The most common and most stable allotrope of sulfur is yellow, rhombic sulfur, so named because of the shape of its crystals. Rhombic sulfur is the form to which all other allotropes revert at room temperature. Crystals of rhombic sulfur melt at $113^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$. Cooling this liquid gives long needles of monoclinic sulfur. This form is stable from $96^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ to the melting point, $119^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$.

The liquid gradually darkens in color and becomes so viscous that finally (at about $230^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ ) it does not pour easily. The dangling atoms at the ends of the chains of sulfur atoms are responsible for the dark red color because their electronic structure differs from those of sulfur atoms that have bonds to two adjacent sulfur atoms. This causes them to absorb light differently and results in a different visible color. Cooling the liquid rapidly produces a rubberlike amorphous mass, called plastic sulfur.\n\nSulfur boils at $445{ }^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ and forms a vapor consisting of $\\mathrm{S}_{2}, \\mathrm{~S}_{6}$, and $\\mathrm{S}_{8}$ molecules; at about $1000^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, the vapor density corresponds to the formula $\\mathrm{S}_{2}$, which is a paramagnetic molecule like $\\mathrm{O}_{2}$ with a similar electronic structure and a weak sulfur-sulfur double bond."} {"id": 4723, "contents": "1922. Sulfur - \nAs seen in this discussion, an important feature of the structural behavior of the nonmetals is that the elements usually occur with eight electrons in their valence shells. If necessary, the elements form enough covalent bonds to supplement the electrons already present to possess an octet. For example, members of group 15 have five valence electrons and require only three additional electrons to fill their valence shells. These elements form three covalent bonds in their free state: triple bonds in the $\\mathrm{N}_{2}$ molecule or single bonds to three different atoms in arsenic and phosphorus. The elements of group 16 require only two additional electrons. Oxygen forms a double bond in the $\\mathrm{O}_{2}$ molecule, and sulfur, selenium, and tellurium form two single bonds in various rings and chains. The halogens form diatomic molecules in which each atom is involved in only one bond. This provides the electron required necessary to complete the octet on the halogen atom.

Occurrence, Preparation, and Compounds of Hydrogen\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Describe the properties, preparation, and compounds of hydrogen\n\nHydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. The sun and other stars are composed largely of hydrogen. Astronomers estimate that $90 \\%$ of the atoms in the universe are hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen is a component of more compounds than any other element. Water is the most abundant compound of hydrogen found on earth. Hydrogen is an important part of petroleum, many minerals, cellulose and starch, sugar, fats, oils, alcohols, acids, and thousands of other substances.\n\nAt ordinary temperatures, hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, and nonpoisonous gas consisting of the diatomic molecule $\\mathrm{H}_{2}$. Hydrogen is composed of three isotopes, and unlike other elements, these isotopes have different names and chemical symbols: protium, ${ }^{1} \\mathrm{H}$, deuterium, ${ }^{2} \\mathrm{H}$ (or \" D \"), and tritium ${ }^{3} \\mathrm{H}$ (or \" T \"). In a naturally occurring sample of hydrogen, there is one atom of deuterium for every 7000 H atoms and one atom of radioactive tritium for every $10^{18} \\mathrm{H}$ atoms. The chemical properties of the different isotopes are very similar because they have identical electron structures, but they differ in some physical properties because of their differing atomic masses. Elemental deuterium and tritium have lower vapor pressure than ordinary hydrogen. Consequently, when liquid hydrogen evaporates, the heavier isotopes are concentrated in the last portions to evaporate. Electrolysis of heavy water, $\\mathrm{D}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$, yields deuterium. Most tritium originates from nuclear reactions."} {"id": 4725, "contents": "1923. Preparation of Hydrogen - \nElemental hydrogen must be prepared from compounds by breaking chemical bonds.

Large quantities of hydrogen are also important in the process of hydrogenation, discussed in the chapter on organic chemistry.\n\nIt is possible to use hydrogen as a nonpolluting fuel. The reaction of hydrogen with oxygen is a very exothermic reaction, releasing 286 kJ of energy per mole of water formed. Hydrogen burns without explosion under controlled conditions. The oxygen-hydrogen torch, because of the high heat of combustion of hydrogen, can achieve temperatures up to $2800^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$. The hot flame of this torch is useful in cutting thick sheets of many metals.

The earth's surface is composed of the crust, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. About $50 \\%$ of the mass of the earth's crust consists of oxygen (combined with other elements, principally silicon). Oxygen occurs as $\\mathrm{O}_{2}$ molecules and, to a limited extent, as $\\mathrm{O}_{3}$ (ozone) molecules in air. It forms about $20 \\%$ of the mass of the air. About $89 \\%$ of water by mass consists of combined oxygen. In combination with carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen, oxygen is a large part of plants and animals.\n\nOxygen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas at ordinary temperatures. It is slightly denser than air. Although it is only slightly soluble in water ( 49 mL of gas dissolves in 1 L at STP), oxygen's solubility is very important to aquatic life.\n\nMost of the oxygen isolated commercially comes from air and the remainder from the electrolysis of water. The separation of oxygen from air begins with cooling and compressing the air until it liquefies. As liquid air warms, oxygen with its higher boiling point ( 90 K ) separates from nitrogen, which has a lower boiling point (77 $K$ ). It is possible to separate the other components of air at the same time based on differences in their boiling points.\n\nOxygen is essential in combustion processes such as the burning of fuels. Plants and animals use the oxygen from the air in respiration. The administration of oxygen-enriched air is an important medical practice when a patient is receiving an inadequate supply of oxygen because of shock, pneumonia, or some other illness."} {"id": 4760, "contents": "1939. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nThe chemical industry employs oxygen for oxidizing many substances. A significant amount of oxygen produced commercially is important in the removal of carbon from iron during steel production. Large quantities of pure oxygen are also necessary in metal fabrication and in the cutting and welding of metals with\noxyhydrogen and oxyacetylene torches.\nLiquid oxygen is important to the space industry. It is an oxidizing agent in rocket engines. It is also the source of gaseous oxygen for life support in space.\n\nAs we know, oxygen is very important to life. The energy required for the maintenance of normal body functions in human beings and in other organisms comes from the slow oxidation of chemical compounds. Oxygen is the final oxidizing agent in these reactions. In humans, oxygen passes from the lungs into the blood, where it combines with hemoglobin, producing oxyhemoglobin. In this form, blood transports the oxygen to tissues, where it is transferred to the tissues. The ultimate products are carbon dioxide and water. The blood carries the carbon dioxide through the veins to the lungs, where the blood releases the carbon dioxide and collects another supply of oxygen. Digestion and assimilation of food regenerate the materials consumed by oxidation in the body; the energy liberated is the same as if the food burned outside the body.\n\nGreen plants continually replenish the oxygen in the atmosphere by a process called photosynthesis. The products of photosynthesis may vary, but, in general, the process converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a sugar) and oxygen using the energy of light:\n\n\nThus, the oxygen that became carbon dioxide and water by the metabolic processes in plants and animals returns to the atmosphere by photosynthesis.\n\nWhen dry oxygen is passed between two electrically charged plates, ozone ( $\\mathrm{O}_{3}$, illustrated in Figure 18.42), an allotrope of oxygen possessing a distinctive odor, forms.

Most atmospheric ozone occurs in the stratosphere, a layer of the atmosphere extending from about 10 to 50 kilometers above the earth's surface. This ozone acts as a barrier to harmful ultraviolet light from the sun by absorbing it via a chemical decomposition reaction:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{O}_{3}(g) \\xrightarrow{\\text { ultraviolet light }} \\mathrm{O}(g)+\\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\n$$\n\nThe reactive oxygen atoms recombine with molecular oxygen to complete the ozone cycle. The presence of stratospheric ozone decreases the frequency of skin cancer and other damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation. It has been clearly demonstrated that chlorofluorocarbons, CFCs (known commercially as Freons), which were\npresent as aerosol propellants in spray cans and as refrigerants, caused depletion of ozone in the stratosphere. This occurred because ultraviolet light also causes CFCs to decompose, producing atomic chlorine. The chlorine atoms react with ozone molecules, resulting in a net removal of $\\mathrm{O}_{3}$ molecules from stratosphere. This process is explored in detail in our coverage of chemical kinetics. There is a worldwide effort to reduce the amount of CFCs used commercially, and the ozone hole is already beginning to decrease in size as atmospheric concentrations of atomic chlorine decrease. While ozone in the stratosphere helps protect us, ozone in the troposphere is a problem. This ozone is a toxic component of photochemical smog.\n\nThe uses of ozone depend on its reactivity with other substances. It can be used as a bleaching agent for oils, waxes, fabrics, and starch: It oxidizes the colored compounds in these substances to colorless compounds.

(credit: Daniel Julie/Wikimedia Commons)\nThe Frasch process, illustrated in Figure 18.59, is important in the mining of free sulfur from enormous\nunderground deposits in Texas and Louisiana. Superheated water ( $170^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ and 10 atm pressure) is forced down the outermost of three concentric pipes to the underground deposit. The hot water melts the sulfur. The innermost pipe conducts compressed air into the liquid sulfur. The air forces the liquid sulfur, mixed with air, to flow up through the outlet pipe. Transferring the mixture to large settling vats allows the solid sulfur to separate upon cooling. This sulfur is $99.5 \\%$ to $99.9 \\%$ pure and requires no purification for most uses.\n\n\nFIGURE 18.59 The Frasch process is used to mine sulfur from underground deposits.\nLarger amounts of sulfur also come from hydrogen sulfide recovered during the purification of natural gas.\nSulfur exists in several allotropic forms.

They earned the name \"noble\" because they were assumed to be nonreactive since they have filled valence shells. In 1962, Dr. Neil Bartlett at the University of British Columbia proved this assumption to be false.\n\nThese elements are present in the atmosphere in small amounts. Some natural gas contains $1-2 \\%$ helium by mass. Helium is isolated from natural gas by liquefying the condensable components, leaving only helium as a gas. The United States possesses most of the world's commercial supply of this element in its helium-bearing gas fields. Argon, neon, krypton, and xenon come from the fractional distillation of liquid air. Radon comes from other radioactive elements. More recently, it was observed that this radioactive gas is present in very\nsmall amounts in soils and minerals. Its accumulation in well-insulated, tightly sealed buildings, however, constitutes a health hazard, primarily lung cancer.\n\nThe boiling points and melting points of the noble gases are extremely low relative to those of other substances of comparable atomic or molecular masses. This is because only weak London dispersion forces are present, and these forces can hold the atoms together only when molecular motion is very slight, as it is at very low temperatures. Helium is the only substance known that does not solidify on cooling at normal pressure. It remains liquid close to absolute zero $(0.001 \\mathrm{~K})$ at ordinary pressures, but it solidifies under elevated pressure.\n\nHelium is used for filling balloons and lighter-than-air craft because it does not burn, making it safer to use than hydrogen. Helium at high pressures is not a narcotic like nitrogen. Thus, mixtures of oxygen and helium are important for divers working under high pressures. Using a helium-oxygen mixture avoids the disoriented mental state known as nitrogen narcosis, the so-called rapture of the deep.

Summary - 1967.1. Periodicity\nThis section focuses on the periodicity of the representative elements. These are the elements where the electrons are entering the $s$ and $p$ orbitals. The representative elements occur in groups 1, 2, and 12-18. These elements are representative metals, metalloids, and nonmetals. The alkali metals (group 1) are very reactive, readily form ions with a charge of $1+$ to form ionic compounds that are usually soluble in water, and react vigorously with water to form hydrogen gas and a basic solution of the metal hydroxide. The outermost electrons of the alkaline earth metals (group 2) are more difficult to remove than the outer electron of the alkali metals, leading to the group 2 metals being less reactive than those in group 1. These elements easily form compounds in which the metals exhibit an oxidation state of $2+$. Zinc, cadmium, and mercury (group 12) commonly exhibit the group oxidation state of 2+ (although mercury also exhibits an oxidation state of $1+$ in compounds that contain $\\mathrm{Hg}_{2}{ }^{2+}$ ). Aluminum, gallium, indium, and thallium (group 13) are easier to oxidize than is hydrogen. Aluminum, gallium, and indium occur with an oxidation state 3+ (however, thallium also commonly occurs as the $\\mathrm{Tl}^{+}$ion). Tin and lead form stable divalent cations and covalent compounds in which the metals exhibit the 4+oxidation state."} {"id": 4817, "contents": "1967. Summary - 1967.2. Occurrence and Preparation of the Representative Metals\nBecause of their chemical reactivity, it is necessary to produce the representative metals in their pure forms by reduction from naturally occurring compounds.

Structure and General Properties of the Nonmetals\nNonmetals have structures that are very different from those of the metals, primarily because they have greater electronegativity and electrons that are more tightly bound to individual atoms. Most nonmetal oxides are acid anhydrides, meaning that they react with water to form acidic solutions. Molecular structures are common for most of the nonmetals, and several have multiple allotropes with varying physical properties."} {"id": 4820, "contents": "1967. Summary - 1967.5. Occurrence, Preparation, and Compounds of Hydrogen\nHydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and its chemistry is truly unique. Although it has some chemical reactivity that is similar to that of the alkali metals, hydrogen has many of the same chemical properties of a nonmetal with a relatively low electronegativity. It forms ionic hydrides with active metals, covalent compounds in which it has an oxidation state of 1- with less electronegative elements, and covalent compounds in which it has an oxidation state of $1+$ with more electronegative nonmetals. It reacts explosively with oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine, less readily with bromine, and much less readily with iodine, sulfur, and nitrogen. Hydrogen reduces the oxides of metals with lower reduction potentials than chromium to form the metal and water. The hydrogen halides are all acidic when dissolved in water."} {"id": 4821, "contents": "1967. Summary - 1967.6.

Metal carbonates or hydrogen carbonates such as limestone $\\left(\\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}\\right)$, the antacid Tums $\\left(\\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}\\right)$, and baking soda $\\left(\\mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}\\right)$ are common examples.

Occurrence, Preparation, and Compounds of Oxygen\nOxygen is one of the most reactive elements. This reactivity, coupled with its abundance, makes the chemistry of oxygen very rich and well understood.\n\nCompounds of the representative metals with oxygen exist in three categories (1) oxides, (2) peroxides and superoxides, and (3) hydroxides. Heating the corresponding hydroxides, nitrates, or carbonates is the most common method for producing oxides. Heating the metal or metal oxide in oxygen may lead to the formation of peroxides and superoxides. The soluble oxides dissolve in water to form solutions of hydroxides. Most metals oxides are base anhydrides and react with acids. The hydroxides of the representative metals react with acids in acid-base reactions to form salts and water.\n\nThe hydroxides have many commercial uses.\nAll nonmetals except fluorine form multiple oxides. Nearly all of the nonmetal oxides are acid anhydrides. The acidity of oxyacids requires that the hydrogen atoms bond to the oxygen atoms in the molecule rather than to the other nonmetal atom. Generally, the strength of the oxyacid increases with the number of oxygen atoms bonded to the nonmetal atom and not to a hydrogen."} {"id": 4825, "contents": "1968. Properties of Nitrogen - 1968.3.

Iron occurs everywhere-from the rings in your spiral notebook and the cutlery in your kitchen to automobiles, ships, buildings, and in the hemoglobin in your blood. Titanium is useful in the manufacture of lightweight, durable products such as bicycle frames, artificial hips, and jewelry. Chromium is useful as a protective plating on plumbing fixtures and automotive detailing.\n\nIn addition to being used in their pure elemental forms, many compounds containing transition metals have numerous other applications. Silver nitrate is used to create mirrors, zirconium silicate provides friction in automotive brakes, and many important cancer-fighting agents, like the drug cisplatin and related species, are platinum compounds.\n\nThe variety of properties exhibited by transition metals is due to their complex valence shells. Unlike most main group metals where one oxidation state is normally observed, the valence shell structure of transition metals means that they usually occur in several different stable oxidation states. In addition, electron transitions in these elements can correspond with absorption of photons in the visible electromagnetic spectrum, leading to colored compounds. Because of these behaviors, transition metals exhibit a rich and fascinating chemistry."} {"id": 4853, "contents": "1971. CHAPTER OUTLINE - 1971.2. Occurrence, Preparation, and Properties of Transition Metals and Their Compounds\nTransition metals are defined as those elements that have (or readily form) partially filled $d$ orbitals. As shown in Figure 19.2, the $\\boldsymbol{d}$-block elements in groups 3-11 are transition elements. The $\\boldsymbol{f}$-block elements, also called inner transition metals (the lanthanides and actinides), also meet this criterion because the $d$ orbital is partially occupied before the $f$ orbitals. The $d$ orbitals fill with the copper family (group 11); for this reason, the\nnext family (group 12) are technically not transition elements. However, the group 12 elements do display some of the same chemical properties and are commonly included in discussions of transition metals. Some chemists do treat the group 12 elements as transition metals.\n\n\nFIGURE 19.2 The transition metals are located in groups 3-11 of the periodic table. The inner transition metals are in the two rows below the body of the table.\n\nThe $d$-block elements are divided into the first transition series (the elements Sc through Cu ), the second transition series (the elements Y through Ag), and the third transition series (the element La and the elements Hf through Au). Actinium, Ac, is the first member of the fourth transition series, which also includes Rf through Rg.\n\nThe $f$-block elements are the elements Ce through Lu, which constitute the lanthanide series (or lanthanoid series), and the elements Th through Lr, which constitute the actinide series (or actinoid series). Because lanthanum behaves very much like the lanthanide elements, it is considered a lanthanide element, even though its electron configuration makes it the first member of the third transition series. Similarly, the behavior of actinium means it is part of the actinide series, although its electron configuration makes it the first member of the fourth transition series."} {"id": 4854, "contents": "1973.

Uses of Lanthanides in Devices - \nLanthanides (elements 57-71) are fairly abundant in the earth's crust, despite their historic characterization as rare earth elements. Thulium, the rarest naturally occurring lanthanoid, is more common in the earth's crust than silver ( $4.5 \\times 10^{-5} \\%$ versus $0.79 \\times 10^{-5} \\%$ by mass). There are 17 rare earth elements, consisting of the 15 lanthanoids plus scandium and yttrium. They are called rare because they were once difficult to extract economically, so it was rare to have a pure sample; due to similar chemical properties, it is difficult to separate any one lanthanide from the others. However, newer separation methods, such as ion exchange resins similar to those found in home water softeners, make the separation of these elements easier and more economical. Most ores that contain these elements have low concentrations of all the rare earth elements mixed together.\n\nThe commercial applications of lanthanides are growing rapidly. For example, europium is important in flat screen displays found in computer monitors, cell phones, and televisions. Neodymium is useful in laptop hard drives and in the processes that convert crude oil into gasoline (Figure 19.3). Holmium is found in dental and medical equipment. In addition, many alternative energy technologies rely heavily on lanthanoids. Neodymium and dysprosium are key components of hybrid vehicle engines and the magnets used in wind turbines.\n\n\nFIGURE 19.3 (a) Europium is used in display screens for televisions, computer monitors, and cell phones. (b) Neodymium magnets are commonly found in computer hard drives. (credit b: modification of work by \"KUERT Datenrettung\"/Flickr)\n\nAs the demand for lanthanide materials has increased faster than supply, prices have also increased. In 2008 , dysprosium cost $\\$ 110 / \\mathrm{kg}$; by 2014 , the price had increased to $\\$ 470 / \\mathrm{kg}$. Increasing the supply of lanthanoid elements is one of the most significant challenges facing the industries that rely on the optical and magnetic properties of these materials."} {"id": 4859, "contents": "1978. Uses of Lanthanides in Devices - \nThe transition elements have many properties in common with other metals. They are almost all hard, highmelting solids that conduct heat and electricity well. They readily form alloys and lose electrons to form stable cations. In addition, transition metals form a wide variety of stable coordination compounds, in which the central metal atom or ion acts as a Lewis acid and accepts one or more pairs of electrons. Many different molecules and ions can donate lone pairs to the metal center, serving as Lewis bases. In this chapter, we shall focus primarily on the chemical behavior of the elements of the first transition series."} {"id": 4860, "contents": "1979. Properties of the Transition Elements - \nTransition metals demonstrate a wide range of chemical behaviors. As can be seen from their reduction potentials (see Appendix H), some transition metals are strong reducing agents, whereas others have very low reactivity. For example, the lanthanides all form stable 3+ aqueous cations. The driving force for such oxidations is similar to that of alkaline earth metals such as Be or Mg , forming $\\mathrm{Be}^{2+}$ and $\\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$. On the other hand, materials like platinum and gold have much higher reduction potentials. Their ability to resist oxidation makes them useful materials for constructing circuits and jewelry.\n\nIons of the lighter $d$-block elements, such as $\\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}, \\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$, and $\\mathrm{Co}^{2+}$, form colorful hydrated ions that are stable in water. However, ions in the period just below these $\\left(\\mathrm{Mo}^{3+}, \\mathrm{Ru}^{3+}\\right.$, and $\\mathrm{Ir}^{2+}$ ) are unstable and react readily with oxygen from the air. The majority of simple, water-stable ions formed by the heavier $d$-block elements are oxyanions such as $\\mathrm{MoO}_{4}{ }^{2-}$ and $\\mathrm{ReO}_{4}{ }^{-}$.\n\nRuthenium, osmium, rhodium, iridium, palladium, and platinum are the platinum metals. With difficulty, they form simple cations that are stable in water, and, unlike the earlier elements in the second and third transition series, they do not form stable oxyanions.\nBoth the $d$ - and $f$-block elements react with nonmetals to form binary compounds; heating is often required. These elements react with halogens to form a variety of halides ranging in oxidation state from $1+$ to $6+$. On heating, oxygen reacts with all of the transition elements except palladium, platinum, silver, and gold. The oxides of these latter metals can be formed using other reactants, but they decompose upon heating. The $f$-block elements, the elements of group 3, and the elements of the first transition series except copper react with aqueous solutions of acids, forming hydrogen gas and solutions of the corresponding salts."} {"id": 4861, "contents": "1979. Properties of the Transition Elements - \nTransition metals can form compounds with a wide range of oxidation states. Some of the observed oxidation states of the elements of the first transition series are shown in Figure 19.4. As we move from left to right across the first transition series, we see that the number of common oxidation states increases at first to a maximum towards the middle of the table, then decreases. The values in the table are typical values; there are other known values, and it is possible to synthesize new additions. For example, in 2014, researchers were successful in synthesizing a new oxidation state of iridium (9+).\n\n| ${ }^{21} \\mathbf{S c}$ | ${ }^{22} \\mathrm{Ti}$ | ${ }^{23} \\mathrm{~V}$ | ${ }^{24} \\mathrm{Cr}$ | ${ }^{25} \\mathrm{Mn}$ | ${ }^{26} \\mathrm{Fe}$ | ${ }^{27} \\mathrm{Co}$ | ${ }^{28} \\mathrm{Ni}$ | ${ }^{29} \\mathrm{Cu}$ | ${ }^{30} \\mathrm{Zn}$ |\n| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |\n| | | | | | | | | $1+$ | |\n| | | $2+$ | ${ }^{2+}$ | $2+$ | ${ }^{2+}$ | $2+$ | ${ }^{2+}$ | $2+$ | 2+ |\n| $3+$ | $3+$ | $3+$ | $3+$ | $3+$ | $3+$ | $3+$ | $3+$ | $3+$ | |\n| | $4+$ | $4+$ | $4+$ | $4+$ | | | | | |\n| | | $5+$ | | | | | | | |\n| | | | 6+ | ${ }^{6+}$ | $6+$ | | | | |\n| | | | | $7+$ | | | | | |"} {"id": 4862, "contents": "1979. Properties of the Transition Elements - \nFIGURE 19.4 Transition metals of the first transition series can form compounds with varying oxidation states.\nFor the elements scandium through manganese (the first half of the first transition series), the highest oxidation state corresponds to the loss of all of the electrons in both the $s$ and $d$ orbitals of their valence shells. The titanium(IV) ion, for example, is formed when the titanium atom loses its two $3 d$ and two $4 s$ electrons. These highest oxidation states are the most stable forms of scandium, titanium, and vanadium. However, it is not possible to continue to remove all of the valence electrons from metals as we continue through the series. Iron is known to form oxidation states from $2+$ to $6+$, with iron(II) and iron(III) being the most common. Most of the elements of the first transition series form ions with a charge of $2+$ or $3+$ that are stable in water, although those of the early members of the series can be readily oxidized by air.\n\nThe elements of the second and third transition series generally are more stable in higher oxidation states than are the elements of the first series. In general, the atomic radius increases down a group, which leads to the ions of the second and third series being larger than are those in the first series. Removing electrons from orbitals that are located farther from the nucleus is easier than removing electrons close to the nucleus. For example, molybdenum and tungsten, members of group 6, are limited mostly to an oxidation state of 6+ in aqueous solution. Chromium, the lightest member of the group, forms stable $\\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}$ ions in water and, in the absence of air, less stable $\\mathrm{Cr}^{2+}$ ions. The sulfide with the highest oxidation state for chromium is $\\mathrm{Cr}_{2} \\mathrm{~S}_{3}$, which contains the $\\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}$ ion. Molybdenum and tungsten form sulfides in which the metals exhibit oxidation states of $4+$ and 6+."} {"id": 4863, "contents": "1981.

Preparation of the Transition Elements - \nAncient civilizations knew about iron, copper, silver, and gold. The time periods in human history known as the Bronze Age and Iron Age mark the advancements in which societies learned to isolate certain metals and use them to make tools and goods. Naturally occurring ores of copper, silver, and gold can contain high concentrations of these metals in elemental form (Figure 19.5). Iron, on the other hand, occurs on earth almost exclusively in oxidized forms, such as rust $\\left(\\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{3}\\right)$. The earliest known iron implements were made from iron meteorites. Surviving iron artifacts dating from approximately 4000 to 2500 BC are rare, but all known examples contain specific alloys of iron and nickel that occur only in extraterrestrial objects, not on earth. It took thousands of years of technological advances before civilizations developed iron smelting, the ability to extract a pure element from its naturally occurring ores and for iron tools to become common.\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\n(c)\n\nFIGURE 19.5 Transition metals occur in nature in various forms.

However, the ease of their recovery varies widely, depending on the concentration of the element in the ore, the identity of the other elements present, and the difficulty of reducing the element to the free metal.\n\nIn general, it is not difficult to reduce ions of the $d$-block elements to the free element. Carbon is a sufficiently strong reducing agent in most cases. However, like the ions of the more active main group metals, ions of the $f$-block elements must be isolated by electrolysis or by reduction with an active metal such as calcium.\n\nWe shall discuss the processes used for the isolation of iron, copper, and silver because these three processes illustrate the principal means of isolating most of the $d$-block metals. In general, each of these processes involves three principal steps: preliminary treatment, smelting, and refining."} {"id": 4868, "contents": "1985. Preparation of the Transition Elements - \n1. Preliminary treatment. In general, there is an initial treatment of the ores to make them suitable for the extraction of the metals. This usually involves crushing or grinding the ore, concentrating the metalbearing components, and sometimes treating these substances chemically to convert them into compounds that are easier to reduce to the metal.\n2. Smelting. The next step is the extraction of the metal in the molten state, a process called smelting, which includes reduction of the metallic compound to the metal. Impurities may be removed by the addition of a compound that forms a slag-a substance with a low melting point that can be readily separated from the molten metal.\n3. Refining. The final step in the recovery of a metal is refining the metal. Low boiling metals such as zinc and mercury can be refined by distillation. When fused on an inclined table, low melting metals like tin flow away from higher-melting impurities. Electrolysis is another common method for refining metals."} {"id": 4869, "contents": "1986. Isolation of Iron - \nThe early application of iron to the manufacture of tools and weapons was possible because of the wide distribution of iron ores and the ease with which iron compounds in the ores could be reduced by carbon. For a long time, charcoal was the form of carbon used in the reduction process. The production and use of iron became much more widespread about 1620, when coke was introduced as the reducing agent. Coke is a form of carbon formed by heating coal in the absence of air to remove impurities.\n\nThe first step in the metallurgy of iron is usually roasting the ore (heating the ore in air) to remove water, decomposing carbonates into oxides, and converting sulfides into oxides. The oxides are then reduced in a blast furnace that is $80-100$ feet high and about 25 feet in diameter (Figure 19.6) in which the roasted ore, coke, and limestone (impure $\\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}$ ) are introduced continuously into the top. Molten iron and slag are withdrawn at the bottom. The entire stock in a furnace may weigh several hundred tons.\n\n\nFIGURE 19.6 Within a blast furnace, different reactions occur in different temperature zones. Carbon monoxide is generated in the hotter bottom regions and rises upward to reduce the iron oxides to pure iron through a series of reactions that take place in the upper regions.\n\nNear the bottom of a furnace are nozzles through which preheated air is blown into the furnace. As soon as the air enters, the coke in the region of the nozzles is oxidized to carbon dioxide with the liberation of a great deal of heat. The hot carbon dioxide passes upward through the overlying layer of white-hot coke, where it is reduced to carbon monoxide:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+\\mathrm{C}(s) \\longrightarrow 2 \\mathrm{CO}(g)\n$$\n\nThe carbon monoxide serves as the reducing agent in the upper regions of the furnace. The individual reactions are indicated in Figure 19.6.\n\nThe iron oxides are reduced in the upper region of the furnace. In the middle region, limestone (calcium carbonate) decomposes, and the resulting calcium oxide combines with silica and silicates in the ore to form\nslag.

Isolation of Iron - \n$$\n\\mathrm{CaO}(s)+\\mathrm{SiO}_{2}(s) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{CaSiO}_{3}(l)\n$$\n\nJust below the middle of the furnace, the temperature is high enough to melt both the iron and the slag. They collect in layers at the bottom of the furnace; the less dense slag floats on the iron and protects it from oxidation. Several times a day, the slag and molten iron are withdrawn from the furnace. The iron is transferred to casting machines or to a steelmaking plant (Figure 19.7).\n\n\nFIGURE 19.7 Molten iron is shown being cast as steel. (credit: Clint Budd)\nMuch of the iron produced is refined and converted into steel. Steel is made from iron by removing impurities and adding substances such as manganese, chromium, nickel, tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium to produce alloys with properties that make the material suitable for specific uses. Most steels also contain small but definite percentages of carbon ( $0.04 \\%-2.5 \\%$ ).

Generally, fluorine forms fluoride-containing metals in their highest oxidation states. The other halogens may not form analogous compounds.\n\nIn general, the preparation of stable water solutions of the halides of the metals of the first transition series is by the addition of a hydrohalic acid to carbonates, hydroxides, oxides, or other compounds that contain basic anions.

Remember that bond polarity is a continuous spectrum with electrons being shared evenly (covalent bonds) at one extreme and electrons being transferred completely (ionic bonds) at the other. No bond is ever 100\\% ionic, and the degree to which the electrons are evenly distributed determines many properties of the compound. Transition metal halides with low oxidation numbers form more ionic bonds.

All halides of the heavier $d$-block elements have significant covalent characteristics.\n\nThe covalent behavior of the transition metals with higher oxidation states is exemplified by the reaction of the metal tetrahalides with water.

Transition metals in low oxidation states have lower electronegativity values than oxygen; therefore, these metal oxides are ionic. Transition metals in very high oxidation states have electronegativity values close to that of oxygen, which leads to these oxides being covalent.\n\nThe oxides of the first transition series can be prepared by heating the metals in air.

The first project demonstrating the viability of high-temperature superconductor power transmission was established in New York in 2008.\n\nResearchers are also working on using this technology to develop other applications, such as smaller and more powerful microchips. In addition, high-temperature superconductors can be used to generate magnetic fields for applications such as medical devices, magnetic levitation trains, and containment fields for nuclear fusion reactors (Figure 19.11).\n\n\nFIGURE 19.11 (a) This magnetic levitation train (or maglev) uses superconductor technology to move along its tracks.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nRemember that in most main group element compounds, the valence electrons of the isolated atoms combine to form chemical bonds that satisfy the octet rule. For instance, the four valence electrons of carbon overlap with electrons from four hydrogen atoms to form $\\mathrm{CH}_{4}$. The one valence electron leaves sodium and adds to the seven valence electrons of chlorine to form the ionic formula unit NaCl (Figure 19.13). Transition metals do not normally bond in this fashion. They primarily form coordinate covalent bonds, a form of the Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in coordination complexes, often called a central metal ion (or atom), is often a transition metal or inner transition metal, although main group elements can also form coordination compounds. The Lewis base donors, called ligands, can be a wide variety of chemicals-atoms, molecules, or ions. The only requirement is that they have one or more electron pairs, which can be donated to the central metal. Most often, this involves a donor atom with a lone pair of electrons that can form a coordinate bond to the metal.\n\n(a)\n\n(b)\n\nFIGURE 19.13 (a) Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons, and ionic bonds involve the transferring of electrons associated with each bonding atom, as indicated by the colored electrons.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nThe coordination sphere consists of the central metal ion or atom plus its attached ligands. Brackets in a formula enclose the coordination sphere; species outside the brackets are not part of the coordination sphere. The coordination number of the central metal ion or atom is the number of donor atoms bonded to it. The coordination number for the silver ion in $\\left[\\mathrm{Ag}\\left(\\mathrm{NH}_{3}\\right)_{2}\\right]^{+}$is two (Figure 19.14). For the copper(II) ion in $\\left[\\mathrm{CuCl}_{4}\\right]^{2-}$, the coordination number is four, whereas for the cobalt(II) ion in $\\left[\\mathrm{Co}\\left(\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}\\right)_{6}\\right]^{2+}$ the coordination number is six. Each of these ligands is monodentate, from the Greek for \"one toothed,\" meaning that they connect with the central metal through only one atom.

The term chelate (pronounced \"KEY-late\") from the Greek for \"claw\" is also used to describe this type of interaction. Many polydentate ligands are chelating ligands, and a complex consisting of one or more of these ligands and a central metal is a chelate. A chelating ligand is also known as a chelating agent. A chelating ligand holds the metal ion rather like a crab's claw would hold a marble. Figure 19.15 showed one example of a chelate.

Sometimes, the prefixes bis- (for two), tris(for three), and tetrakis- (for four) are used when the name of the ligand already includes di-, tri-, or tetra-, or when the ligand name begins with a vowel. For example, the ion bis(bipyridyl)osmium(II) uses bis- to signify that there are two ligands attached to Os, and each bipyridyl ligand contains two pyridine groups $\\left(\\mathrm{C}_{5} \\mathrm{H}_{4} \\mathrm{~N}\\right)$.\n\nWhen the complex is either a cation or a neutral molecule, the name of the central metal atom is spelled exactly like the name of the element and is followed by a Roman numeral in parentheses to indicate its oxidation state (Table 19.2 and Table 19.3). When the complex is an anion, the suffix -ate is added to the stem of the name of the metal, followed by the Roman numeral designation of its oxidation state (Table 19.4).\nSometimes, the Latin name of the metal is used when the English name is clumsy. For example, ferrate is used instead of ironate, plumbate instead leadate, and stannate instead of tinate. The oxidation state of the metal is determined based on the charges of each ligand and the overall charge of the coordination compound.

Answer: - \nAnother important type of isomers are optical isomers, or enantiomers, in which two objects are exact mirror images of each other but cannot be lined up so that all parts match. This means that optical isomers are nonsuperimposable mirror images. A classic example of this is a pair of hands, in which the right and left hand are mirror images of one another but cannot be superimposed. Optical isomers are very important in organic and biochemistry because living systems often incorporate one specific optical isomer and not the other. Unlike geometric isomers, pairs of optical isomers have identical properties (boiling point, polarity, solubility, etc.). Optical isomers differ only in the way they affect polarized light and how they react with other optical isomers. For coordination complexes, many coordination compounds such as $\\left[\\mathrm{M}(\\mathrm{en})_{3}\\right]^{\\mathrm{n+}}\\left[\\right.$ in which $\\mathrm{M}^{\\mathrm{n}+}$ is a central metal ion such as iron(III) or cobalt(II)] form enantiomers, as shown in Figure 19.23.

The mirror images of the cis isomer form a pair of optical isomers, which have identical behavior except when reacting with other enantiomers.\n\nLinkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms.

For example, one type of compound she is developing captures carbon dioxide waste from power plants and catalytically converts it into useful products (see Figure 19.27).\n\n\nFIGURE 19.27 Catalytic converters change carbon dioxide emissions from power plants into useful products, and, like the one shown here, are also found in cars.\n\nAnother project involves the development of porous, sponge-like materials that are \"photoactive.\" The absorption of light causes the pores of the sponge to change size, allowing gas diffusion to be controlled. This has many potential useful applications, from powering cars with hydrogen fuel cells to making better electronics components. Although not a complex, self-darkening sunglasses are an example of a photoactive substance.\n\nWatch this video (http://openstax.org/l/16DeannaD) to learn more about this research and listen to Dr. D'Alessandro (shown in Figure 19.28) describe what it is like being a research chemist.\n\n\nFIGURE 19.28 Dr. Deanna D'Alessandro is a functional materials researcher.

Deanna D'Alessandro - \nThe structure of heme (Figure 19.29), the iron-containing complex in hemoglobin, is very similar to that in chlorophyll. In hemoglobin, the red heme complex is bonded to a large protein molecule (globin) by the attachment of the protein to the heme ligand. Oxygen molecules are transported by hemoglobin in the blood by being bound to the iron center. When the hemoglobin loses its oxygen, the color changes to a bluish red. Hemoglobin will only transport oxygen if the iron is $\\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}$; oxidation of the iron to $\\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$ prevents oxygen transport.\n\n\nFIGURE 19.29 Hemoglobin contains four protein subunits, each of which has an iron center attached to a heme ligand (shown in red), which is coordinated to a globin protein. Each subunit is shown in a different color.\n\nComplexing agents often are used for water softening because they tie up such ions as $\\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}, \\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$, and $\\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}$, which make water hard. Many metal ions are also undesirable in food products because these ions can catalyze reactions that change the color of food. Coordination complexes are useful as preservatives.

BAL is now used to treat poisoning by heavy metals, such as arsenic, mercury, thallium, and chromium. The drug is a ligand and functions by making a water-soluble chelate of the metal; the kidneys eliminate this metal chelate (Figure 19.31). Another polydentate ligand, enterobactin, which is isolated from\ncertain bacteria, is used to form complexes of iron and thereby to control the severe iron buildup found in patients suffering from blood diseases such as Cooley's anemia, who require frequent transfusions. As the transfused blood breaks down, the usual metabolic processes that remove iron are overloaded, and excess iron can build up to fatal levels.

When metal ions are reduced to produce thin metal coatings, metals can clump together to form clusters and nanoparticles. When metal coordination complexes are used, the ligands keep the metal atoms isolated from each other. It has been found that many metals plate out as a smoother, more uniform, better-looking, and more adherent surface when plated from a bath containing the metal as a complex ion. Thus, complexes such as $\\left[\\mathrm{Ag}(\\mathrm{CN})_{2}\\right]^{-}$and $\\left[\\mathrm{Au}(\\mathrm{CN})_{2}\\right]^{-}$are used extensively in the electroplating industry.\n\nIn 1965, scientists at Michigan State University discovered that there was a platinum complex that inhibited cell division in certain microorganisms.

Since that time, many similar platinum compounds have been developed for the treatment of cancer. In all cases, these are the cis isomers and never the trans isomers.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Outline the basic premise of crystal field theory (CFT)\n- Identify molecular geometries associated with various d-orbital splitting patterns\n- Predict electron configurations of split d orbitals for selected transition metal atoms or ions\n- Explain spectral and magnetic properties in terms of CFT concepts\n\nThe behavior of coordination compounds cannot be adequately explained by the same theories used for main group element chemistry. The observed geometries of coordination complexes are not consistent with hybridized orbitals on the central metal overlapping with ligand orbitals, as would be predicted by valence bond theory. The observed colors indicate that the $d$ orbitals often occur at different energy levels rather than all being degenerate, that is, of equal energy, as are the three $p$ orbitals. To explain the stabilities, structures, colors, and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes, a different bonding model has been developed. Just as valence bond theory explains many aspects of bonding in main group chemistry, crystal field theory is useful in understanding and predicting the behavior of transition metal complexes."} {"id": 4926, "contents": "2029. Crystal Field Theory - \nTo explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as how colors arise), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized $d$ orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It allows us to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.\n\nCFT focuses on the nonbonding electrons on the central metal ion in coordination complexes not on the metalligand bonds. Like valence bond theory, CFT tells only part of the story of the behavior of complexes. However, it tells the part that valence bond theory does not. In its pure form, CFT ignores any covalent bonding between ligands and metal ions. Both the ligand and the metal are treated as infinitesimally small point charges.\n\nAll electrons are negative, so the electrons donated from the ligands will repel the electrons of the central metal. Let us consider the behavior of the electrons in the unhybridized $d$ orbitals in an octahedral complex. The five $d$ orbitals consist of lobe-shaped regions and are arranged in space, as shown in Figure 19.33. In an octahedral complex, the six ligands coordinate along the axes.\n\n\nFIGURE 19.33 The directional characteristics of the five $d$ orbitals are shown here. The shaded portions indicate the phase of the orbitals. The ligands (L) coordinate along the axes. For clarity, the ligands have been omitted from the $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ orbital so that the axis labels could be shown."} {"id": 4927, "contents": "2029. Crystal Field Theory - \nIn an uncomplexed metal ion in the gas phase, the electrons are distributed among the five $d$ orbitals in accord with Hund's rule because the orbitals all have the same energy. However, when ligands coordinate to a metal ion, the energies of the $d$ orbitals are no longer the same.\nIn octahedral complexes, the lobes in two of the five $d$ orbitals, the $d_{z^{2}}$ and $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ orbitals, point toward the ligands (Figure 19.33). These two orbitals are called the $\\boldsymbol{e}_{g}$ orbitals (the symbol actually refers to the symmetry of the orbitals, but we will use it as a convenient name for these two orbitals in an octahedral complex). The other three orbitals, the $d_{x y}, d_{x z}$, and $d_{y z}$ orbitals, have lobes that point between the ligands and are called the $\\boldsymbol{t}_{\\mathbf{2 g}}$ orbitals (again, the symbol really refers to the symmetry of the orbitals). As six ligands approach the metal ion along the axes of the octahedron, their point charges repel the electrons in the $d$ orbitals of the metal ion. However, the repulsions between the electrons in the $e_{g}$ orbitals (the $d_{z^{2}}$ and $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ orbitals) and the ligands are greater than the repulsions between the electrons in the $t_{2 g}$ orbitals (the $d_{z y}, d_{x z}$, and $d_{y z}$ orbitals) and the ligands. This is because the lobes of the $e_{g}$ orbitals point directly at the ligands, whereas the lobes of the $t_{2 g}$ orbitals point between them. Thus, electrons in the $e_{g}$ orbitals of the metal ion in an octahedral complex have higher potential energies than those of electrons in the $t_{2 g}$ orbitals. The difference in energy may be represented as shown in Figure 19.34."} {"id": 4928, "contents": "2029. Crystal Field Theory - \nFIGURE 19.34 In octahedral complexes, the $e_{g}$ orbitals are destabilized (higher in energy) compared to the $t_{2 g}$ orbitals because the ligands interact more strongly with the $d$ orbitals at which they are pointed directly.\n\nThe difference in energy between the $e_{g}$ and the $t_{2 g}$ orbitals is called the crystal field splitting and is symbolized by $\\boldsymbol{\\Delta}_{\\text {oct }}$, where oct stands for octahedral.\n\nThe magnitude of $\\Delta_{\\text {oct }}$ depends on many factors, including the nature of the six ligands located around the central metal ion, the charge on the metal, and whether the metal is using $3 d, 4 d$, or $5 d$ orbitals. Different ligands produce different crystal field splittings. The increasing crystal field splitting produced by ligands is expressed in the spectrochemical series, a short version of which is given here:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{I}^{-}<\\mathrm{Br}^{-}<\\mathrm{Cl}^{-}<\\mathrm{F}^{-}<\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}<\\mathrm{C}_{2} \\mathrm{O}_{4}{ }^{2-}<\\mathrm{NH}_{3}P$ ).

In the absence of a crystal field, the orbitals are degenerate. For coordination complexes with strong-field ligands such as $\\left[\\mathrm{Fe}(\\mathrm{CN})_{6}\\right]^{4-}, \\Delta_{\\text {oct }}$ is greater than P , and the electrons pair in the lower energy $t_{2 g}$ orbitals before occupying the eg orbitals. With weak-field ligands such as $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$, the ligand field splitting is less than the pairing energy, $\\Delta_{\\text {oct }}$ less than P , so the electrons occupy all $d$ orbitals singly before any pairing occurs."} {"id": 4930, "contents": "2029.

In octahedral complexes, remember that the lobes of the $e_{g}$ set point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the $d$ orbitals remain in place, but now we have only four ligands located between the axes (Figure 19.36). None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the $e_{g}$ set (along the Cartesian axes) overlaps with the ligands less than does the $t_{2 g}$ set. By analogy with the octahedral case, predict the energy diagram for the $d$ orbitals in a tetrahedral crystal field. To avoid confusion, the octahedral $e_{g}$ set becomes a tetrahedral e set, and the octahedral $t_{2 g}$ set becomes a $t_{2}$ set.\n\n\nFIGURE 19.36 This diagram shows the orientation of the tetrahedral ligands with respect to the axis system for the orbitals."} {"id": 4936, "contents": "2037.

It is possible to consider a square planar geometry as an octahedral structure with a pair of trans ligands removed. The removed ligands are assumed to be on the $z$-axis. This changes the distribution of the $d$ orbitals, as orbitals on or near the $z$-axis become more stable, and those on or near the $x$ - or $y$-axes become less stable. This results in the octahedral $t_{2 g}$ and the $e_{g}$ sets splitting and gives a more complicated pattern, as depicted below:\n\n\nMagnetic Moments of Molecules and Ions\nExperimental evidence of magnetic measurements supports the theory of high- and low-spin complexes. Remember that molecules such as $\\mathrm{O}_{2}$ that contain unpaired electrons are paramagnetic. Paramagnetic substances are attracted to magnetic fields. Many transition metal complexes have unpaired electrons and hence are paramagnetic. Molecules such as $\\mathrm{N}_{2}$ and ions such as $\\mathrm{Na}^{+}$and $\\left[\\mathrm{Fe}(\\mathrm{CN})_{6}\\right]^{4-}$ that contain no unpaired electrons are diamagnetic. Diamagnetic substances have a slight tendency to be repelled by magnetic fields.\n\nWhen an electron in an atom or ion is unpaired, the magnetic moment due to its spin makes the entire atom or ion paramagnetic. The size of the magnetic moment of a system containing unpaired electrons is related directly to the number of such electrons: the greater the number of unpaired electrons, the larger the magnetic moment. Therefore, the observed magnetic moment is used to determine the number of unpaired electrons present. The measured magnetic moment of low-spin $d^{6}\\left[\\mathrm{Fe}(\\mathrm{CN})_{6}\\right]^{4-}$ confirms that iron is diamagnetic,\nwhereas high-spin $d^{6}\\left[\\mathrm{Fe}\\left(\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}\\right)_{6}\\right]^{2+}$ has four unpaired electrons with a magnetic moment that confirms this arrangement."} {"id": 4938, "contents": "2039. Colors of Transition Metal Complexes - \nWhen atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the $d$ orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed.\n\nThe human eye perceives a mixture of all the colors, in the proportions present in sunlight, as white light. Complementary colors, those located across from each other on a color wheel, are also used in color vision. The eye perceives a mixture of two complementary colors, in the proper proportions, as white light. Likewise, when a color is missing from white light, the eye sees its complement.

Summary - 2047.1. Occurrence, Preparation, and Properties of Transition Metals and Their Compounds\nThe transition metals are elements with partially filled $d$ orbitals, located in the $d$-block of the periodic table. The reactivity of the transition elements varies widely from very active metals such as scandium and iron to almost inert elements, such as the platinum metals. The type of chemistry used in the isolation of the elements from their ores depends upon the concentration of the element in its ore and the difficulty of reducing ions of the elements to the metals. Metals that are more active are more difficult to reduce.\n\nTransition metals exhibit chemical behavior typical of metals. For example, they oxidize in air upon heating and react with elemental halogens to form halides. Those elements that lie above hydrogen in the activity series react with acids, producing salts and hydrogen gas. Oxides, hydroxides, and carbonates of transition metal compounds in low oxidation states are basic. Halides and other salts are generally stable in water, although oxygen must be excluded in some cases. Most transition metals form a variety of stable oxidation states, allowing them to demonstrate a wide range of chemical reactivity."} {"id": 4948, "contents": "2047. Summary - 2047.2.

The common geometries found in complexes are tetrahedral and square planar (both with a coordination number of four) and octahedral (with a coordination number of six). Cis and trans configurations are possible in some octahedral and square planar complexes. In addition to these geometrical isomers, optical isomers (molecules or ions that are mirror images but not superimposable) are possible in certain octahedral complexes.

Spectroscopic and Magnetic Properties of Coordination Compounds\nCrystal field theory treats interactions between the electrons on the metal and the ligands as a simple electrostatic effect. The presence of the ligands near the metal ion changes the energies of the metal $d$ orbitals relative to their energies in the free ion. Both the color and the magnetic properties of a complex can be attributed to this crystal field splitting. The magnitude of the splitting ( $\\Delta_{\\text {oct }}$ ) depends on the nature of the ligands bonded to the metal. Strongfield ligands produce large splitting and favor lowspin complexes, in which the $t_{2 g}$ orbitals are completely filled before any electrons occupy the $e_{g}$ orbitals. Weak-field ligands favor formation of highspin complexes. The $t_{2 g}$ and the $e_{g}$ orbitals are singly occupied before any are doubly occupied."} {"id": 4950, "contents": "2048.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Describe nuclear structure in terms of protons, neutrons, and electrons\n- Calculate mass defect and binding energy for nuclei\n- Explain trends in the relative stability of nuclei\n\nNuclear chemistry is the study of reactions that involve changes in nuclear structure. The chapter on atoms, molecules, and ions introduced the basic idea of nuclear structure, that the nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and, with the exception of ${ }_{1}^{1} \\mathrm{H}$, neutrons. Recall that the number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number ( Z ) of the element, and the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons is the mass number (A). Atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers are isotopes of the same element. When referring to a single type of nucleus, we often use the term nuclide and identify it by the notation ${ }_{Z}^{A} \\mathrm{X}$, where X is the symbol for the element, A is the mass number, and Z is the atomic number (for example, ${ }_{6}^{14} \\mathrm{C}$ ). Often a nuclide is referenced by the name of the element followed by a hyphen and the mass number. For example, ${ }_{6}^{14} \\mathrm{C}$ is called \"carbon-14.\""} {"id": 4966, "contents": "2051.

With a radius of about $10^{-15}$ meters, a nucleus is quite small compared to the radius of the entire atom, which is about $10^{-10}$ meters. Nuclei are extremely dense compared to bulk matter, averaging $1.8 \\times 10^{14}$ grams per cubic centimeter. For example, water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter, and iridium, one of the densest elements known, has a density of $22.6 \\mathrm{~g} / \\mathrm{cm}^{3}$. If the earth's density were equal to the average nuclear density, the earth's radius would be only about 200 meters (earth's actual radius is approximately $6.4 \\times 10^{6}$ meters, 30,000 times larger).

The force of attraction that holds the nucleus together is the strong nuclear force. (The strong force is one of the four fundamental forces that are known to exist. The others are the electromagnetic force, the gravitational force, and the nuclear weak force.) This force acts between protons, between neutrons, and between protons and neutrons. It is very different from the electrostatic force that holds negatively charged electrons around a positively charged nucleus (the attraction between opposite charges).

Nuclear Binding Energy - \nAs a simple example of the energy associated with the strong nuclear force, consider the helium atom composed of two protons, two neutrons, and two electrons.

This difference between the calculated and experimentally measured masses is known as the mass defect of the atom. In the case of helium, the mass defect indicates a \"loss\" in mass of $4.0331 \\mathrm{amu}-4.0026 \\mathrm{amu}=0.0305 \\mathrm{amu}$. The loss in mass accompanying the formation of an atom from protons, neutrons, and electrons is due to the conversion of that mass into energy that is evolved as the atom forms. The nuclear binding energy is the energy produced when the atoms' nucleons are bound together; this is also the energy needed to break a nucleus into its constituent protons and neutrons. In comparison to chemical bond energies, nuclear binding energies are vastly greater, as we will learn in this section. Consequently, the energy changes associated with nuclear reactions are vastly greater than are those for chemical reactions.\n\nThe conversion between mass and energy is most identifiably represented by the mass-energy equivalence equation as stated by Albert Einstein:\n\n$$\nE=m c^{2}\n$$"} {"id": 4973, "contents": "2058.

Of the thousands of nuclides that exist, about 250 are stable. A plot of the number of neutrons versus the number of protons for stable nuclei reveals that the stable isotopes fall into a narrow band. This region is known as the band of stability (also called the belt, zone, or valley of stability). The straight line in Figure 20.2 represents nuclei that have a 1:1 ratio of protons to neutrons ( $\\mathrm{n}: \\mathrm{p}$ ratio). Note that the lighter stable nuclei, in general, have equal numbers of protons and neutrons. For example, nitrogen-14 has seven protons and seven neutrons. Heavier stable nuclei, however, have increasingly more neutrons than protons. For example: iron-56 has 30 neutrons and 26 protons, an n:p ratio of 1.15, whereas the stable nuclide lead- 207 has 125 neutrons and 82 protons, an n:p ratio equal to 1.52. This is because larger nuclei have more proton-proton repulsions, and require larger numbers of neutrons to provide compensating strong forces to overcome these electrostatic repulsions and hold the nucleus together."} {"id": 4979, "contents": "2063.

The solid line is the line where $\\mathrm{n}=\\mathrm{Z}$.\n\nThe nuclei that are to the left or to the right of the band of stability are unstable and exhibit radioactivity. They change spontaneously (decay) into other nuclei that are either in, or closer to, the band of stability. These nuclear decay reactions convert one unstable isotope (or radioisotope) into another, more stable, isotope. We will discuss the nature and products of this radioactive decay in subsequent sections of this chapter.\n\nSeveral observations may be made regarding the relationship between the stability of a nucleus and its structure. Nuclei with even numbers of protons, neutrons, or both are more likely to be stable (see Table 20.1). Nuclei with certain numbers of nucleons, known as magic numbers, are stable against nuclear decay. These numbers of protons or neutrons $(2,8,20,28,50,82$, and 126 ) make complete shells in the nucleus. These are similar in concept to the stable electron shells observed for the noble gases.

Among them were Marie Curie (the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the only person to win two Nobel Prizes in different sciences-chemistry and physics), who was the first to coin the term \"radioactivity,\" and Ernest Rutherford (of gold foil experiment fame), who investigated and named three of the most common types of radiation. During the beginning of the twentieth century, many radioactive substances were discovered, the properties of radiation were investigated and quantified, and a solid understanding of radiation and nuclear decay was developed.\n\nThe spontaneous change of an unstable nuclide into another is radioactive decay. The unstable nuclide is called the parent nuclide; the nuclide that results from the decay is known as the daughter nuclide. The daughter nuclide may be stable, or it may decay itself. The radiation produced during radioactive decay is such that the daughter nuclide lies closer to the band of stability than the parent nuclide, so the location of a nuclide relative to the band of stability can serve as a guide to the kind of decay it will undergo (Figure 20.5).\n\n\nFIGURE 20.5 A nucleus of uranium-238 (the parent nuclide) undergoes $\\alpha$ decay to form thorium-234 (the daughter nuclide). The alpha particle removes two protons (green) and two neutrons (gray) from the uranium-238 nucleus."} {"id": 4997, "contents": "2078.

Types of Radioactive Decay - \nErnest Rutherford's experiments involving the interaction of radiation with a magnetic or electric field (Figure 20.6) helped him determine that one type of radiation consisted of positively charged and relatively massive $\\alpha$ particles; a second type was made up of negatively charged and much less massive $\\beta$ particles; and a third was uncharged electromagnetic waves, $\\gamma$ rays. We now know that $\\alpha$ particles are high-energy helium nuclei, $\\beta$ particles are high-energy electrons, and $\\gamma$ radiation compose high-energy electromagnetic radiation. We classify different types of radioactive decay by the radiation produced.\n\n\nFIGURE 20.6 Alpha particles, which are attracted to the negative plate and deflected by a relatively small amount, must be positively charged and relatively massive. Beta particles, which are attracted to the positive plate and deflected a relatively large amount, must be negatively charged and relatively light. Gamma rays, which are unaffected by the electric field, must be uncharged.\n\nAlpha ( $\\alpha$ ) decay is the emission of an $\\alpha$ particle from the nucleus. For example, polonium-210 undergoes $\\alpha$ decay:\n\n$$\n{ }_{84}^{210} \\mathrm{Po} \\longrightarrow{ }_{2}^{4} \\mathrm{He}+{ }_{82}^{206} \\mathrm{~Pb} \\quad \\text { or } \\quad{ }_{84}^{210} \\mathrm{Po} \\longrightarrow{ }_{2}^{4} \\alpha+{ }_{82}^{206} \\mathrm{~Pb}\n$$\n\nAlpha decay occurs primarily in heavy nuclei ( $\\mathrm{A}>200, \\mathrm{Z}>83$ ). Because the loss of an $\\alpha$ particle gives a daughter nuclide with a mass number four units smaller and an atomic number two units smaller than those of the parent nuclide, the daughter nuclide has a larger n:p ratio than the parent nuclide. If the parent nuclide undergoing $\\alpha$ decay lies below the band of stability (refer to Figure 20.2), the daughter nuclide will lie closer to the band.\n\nBeta ( $\\boldsymbol{\\beta}$ ) decay is the emission of an electron from a nucleus. Iodine-131 is an example of a nuclide that undergoes $\\beta$ decay:"} {"id": 4999, "contents": "2079. Types of Radioactive Decay - \nBeta ( $\\boldsymbol{\\beta}$ ) decay is the emission of an electron from a nucleus.

The beta particle (electron) emitted is from the atomic nucleus and is not one of the electrons surrounding the nucleus. Such nuclei lie above the band of stability. Emission of an electron does not change the mass number of the nuclide but does increase the number of its protons and decrease the number of its neutrons. Consequently, the n:p ratio is decreased, and the daughter nuclide lies closer to the band of stability than did the parent nuclide.\n\nGamma emission ( $\\boldsymbol{\\gamma}$ emission) is observed when a nuclide is formed in an excited state and then decays to its ground state with the emission of a $\\gamma$ ray, a quantum of high-energy electromagnetic radiation. The presence of a nucleus in an excited state is often indicated by an asterisk (*).

Oxygen-15 is an example of a nuclide that undergoes positron emission:"} {"id": 5000, "contents": "2079.

These nuclides lie below the band of stability. Positron decay is the conversion of a proton into a neutron with the emission of a positron. The n:p ratio increases, and the daughter nuclide lies closer to the band of stability than did the parent nuclide.\n\nElectron capture occurs when one of the inner electrons in an atom is captured by the atom's nucleus. For example, potassium-40 undergoes electron capture:\n\n$$\n{ }_{19}^{40} \\mathrm{~K}+{ }_{-1}^{0} \\mathrm{e} \\longrightarrow{ }_{18}^{40} \\mathrm{Ar}\n$$\n\nElectron capture occurs when an inner shell electron combines with a proton and is converted into a neutron. The loss of an inner shell electron leaves a vacancy that will be filled by one of the outer electrons. As the outer electron drops into the vacancy, it will emit energy. In most cases, the energy emitted will be in the form of an X-ray. Like positron emission, electron capture occurs for \"proton-rich\" nuclei that lie below the band of stability. Electron capture has the same effect on the nucleus as does positron emission: The atomic number is decreased by one and the mass number does not change. This increases the n:p ratio, and the daughter nuclide lies closer to the band of stability than did the parent nuclide. Whether electron capture or positron emission occurs is difficult to predict. The choice is primarily due to kinetic factors, with the one requiring the smaller activation energy being the one more likely to occur."} {"id": 5001, "contents": "2079.

The neptunium series is a fourth series, which is no longer significant on the earth because of the short half-lives of the species involved. Each series is characterized by a parent (first member) that has a long half-life and a series of daughter nuclides that ultimately lead to a stable end-product-that is, a nuclide on the band of stability (Figure 20.9). In all three series, the end-product is a stable isotope of lead.

An isotope's half-life allows us to determine how long a sample of a useful isotope will be available, and how long a sample of an undesirable or dangerous isotope must be stored before it decays to a low-enough radiation level that is no longer a problem.\n\nFor example, cobalt-60, an isotope that emits gamma rays used to treat cancer, has a half-life of 5.27 years (Figure 20.10). In a given cobalt-60 source, since half of the ${ }_{27}^{60}$ Co nuclei decay every 5.27 years, both the amount of material and the intensity of the radiation emitted is cut in half every 5.27 years. (Note that for a given substance, the intensity of radiation that it produces is directly proportional to the rate of decay of the substance and the amount of the substance.) This is as expected for a process following first-order kinetics. Thus, a cobalt-60 source that is used for cancer treatment must be replaced regularly to continue to be effective.\n\n\nFIGURE 20.10 For cobalt-60, which has a half-life of 5.27 years, $50 \\%$ remains after 5.27 years (one half-life), 25\\% remains after 10.54 years (two half-lives), $12.5 \\%$ remains after 15.81 years (three half-lives), and so on."} {"id": 5006, "contents": "2083.

The accuracy of a straightforward application of this technique depends on the ${ }_{6}^{14} \\mathrm{C}:{ }_{6}^{12} \\mathrm{C}$ ratio in a living plant being the same now as it was in an earlier era, but this is not always valid. Due to the increasing accumulation of $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ molecules (largely ${ }_{6}^{12} \\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ ) in the atmosphere caused by combustion of fossil fuels (in which essentially all of the ${ }_{6}^{14} \\mathrm{C}$ has decayed), the ratio of ${ }_{6}^{14} \\mathrm{C}:{ }_{6}^{12} \\mathrm{C}$ in the atmosphere may be changing.

Fortunately, however, we can use other data, such as tree dating via examination of annual growth rings, to calculate correction factors.

Radioactive Dating Using Nuclides Other than Carbon-14 - \nRadioactive dating can also use other radioactive nuclides with longer half-lives to date older events. For example, uranium-238 (which decays in a series of steps into lead-206) can be used for establishing the age of rocks (and the approximate age of the oldest rocks on earth). Since U-238 has a half-life of 4.5 billion years, it takes that amount of time for half of the original $\\mathrm{U}-238$ to decay into $\\mathrm{Pb}-206$. In a sample of rock that does not contain appreciable amounts of $\\mathrm{Pb}-208$, the most abundant isotope of lead, we can assume that lead was not present when the rock was formed. Therefore, by measuring and analyzing the ratio of U-238:Pb-206, we can determine the age of the rock. This assumes that all of the lead-206 present came from the decay of uranium-238. If there is additional lead-206 present, which is indicated by the presence of other lead isotopes in the sample, it is necessary to make an adjustment. Potassium-argon dating uses a similar method. K-40 decays by positron emission and electron capture to form $\\mathrm{Ar}-40$ with a half-life of 1.25 billion years. If a rock sample is crushed and the amount of Ar-40 gas that escapes is measured, determination of the Ar-40:K-40\nratio yields the age of the rock. Other methods, such as rubidium-strontium dating ( $\\mathrm{Rb}-87$ decays into $\\mathrm{Sr}-87$ with a half-life of 48.8 billion years), operate on the same principle. To estimate the lower limit for the earth's age, scientists determine the age of various rocks and minerals, making the assumption that the earth is older than the oldest rocks and minerals in its crust.

Sometimes neutrons are also produced. This decomposition is called fission, the breaking of a large nucleus into smaller pieces. The breaking is rather random with the formation of a large number of different products. Fission usually does not occur naturally, but is induced by bombardment with neutrons. The first reported nuclear fission occurred in 1939 when three German scientists, Lise Meitner, Otto Hahn, and Fritz Strassman, bombarded uranium-235 atoms with slow-moving neutrons that split the U-238 nuclei into smaller fragments that consisted of several neutrons and elements near the middle of the periodic table.

The slightly lighter ${ }^{235} \\mathrm{UF}_{6}$ molecules diffuse through the barrier slightly faster than the heavier ${ }^{238} \\mathrm{UF}_{6}$ molecules. This process is repeated through hundreds of barriers, gradually increasing the concentration of ${ }^{235} \\mathrm{UF}_{6}$ to the level needed by the nuclear reactor. The basis for this process, Graham's law, is described in the chapter on gases. The enriched $\\mathrm{UF}_{6}$ gas is collected, cooled until it solidifies, and then taken to a fabrication facility where it is made into fuel assemblies. Each fuel assembly consists of fuel rods that contain many thimble-sized, ceramicencased, enriched uranium (usually $\\mathrm{UO}_{2}$ ) fuel pellets. Modern nuclear reactors may contain as many as 10 million fuel pellets. The amount of energy in each of these pellets is equal to that in almost a ton of coal or 150 gallons of oil."} {"id": 5040, "contents": "2111. Nuclear Moderators - \nNeutrons produced by nuclear reactions move too fast to cause fission (refer back to Figure 20.17). They must first be slowed to be absorbed by the fuel and produce additional nuclear reactions. A nuclear moderator is a substance that slows the neutrons to a speed that is low enough to cause fission. Early reactors used highpurity graphite as a moderator. Modern reactors in the US exclusively use heavy water $\\left({ }_{1}^{2} \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}\\right)$ or light water (ordinary $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$ ), whereas some reactors in other countries use other materials, such as carbon dioxide, beryllium, or graphite."} {"id": 5041, "contents": "2112.

Other coolants include molten sodium, lead, a lead-bismuth mixture, or molten salts."} {"id": 5042, "contents": "2113. Control Rods - \nNuclear reactors use control rods (Figure 20.20) to control the fission rate of the nuclear fuel by adjusting the number of slow neutrons present to keep the rate of the chain reaction at a safe level. Control rods are made of boron, cadmium, hafnium, or other elements that are able to absorb neutrons. Boron-10, for example, absorbs neutrons by a reaction that produces lithium-7 and alpha particles:\n\n$$\n{ }_{5}^{10} \\mathrm{~B}+{ }_{0}^{1} \\mathrm{n} \\longrightarrow{ }_{3}^{7} \\mathrm{Li}+{ }_{2}^{4} \\mathrm{He}\n$$\n\nWhen control rod assemblies are inserted into the fuel element in the reactor core, they absorb a larger fraction of the slow neutrons, thereby slowing the rate of the fission reaction and decreasing the power produced. Conversely, if the control rods are removed, fewer neutrons are absorbed, and the fission rate and energy production increase. In an emergency, the chain reaction can be shut down by fully inserting all of the control rods into the nuclear core between the fuel rods.\n\n\nFIGURE 20.20 The nuclear reactor core shown in (a) contains the fuel and control rod assembly shown in (b).\n(credit: modification of work by E.

Shield and Containment System - \nDuring its operation, a nuclear reactor produces neutrons and other radiation. Even when shut down, the decay products are radioactive. In addition, an operating reactor is thermally very hot, and high pressures result from the circulation of water or another coolant through it. Thus, a reactor must withstand high temperatures and pressures, and must protect operating personnel from the radiation. Reactors are equipped with a containment system (or shield) that consists of three parts:\n\n1. The reactor vessel, a steel shell that is 3-20-centimeters thick and, with the moderator, absorbs much of the radiation produced by the reactor\n2.

The following Chemistry in Everyday Life feature explores three infamous meltdown incidents."} {"id": 5045, "contents": "2117. Nuclear Accidents - \nThe importance of cooling and containment are amply illustrated by three major accidents that occurred with the nuclear reactors at nuclear power generating stations in the United States (Three Mile Island), the former Soviet Union (Chernobyl), and Japan (Fukushima).\n\nIn March 1979, the cooling system of the Unit 2 reactor at Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station in Pennsylvania failed, and the cooling water spilled from the reactor onto the floor of the containment building. After the pumps stopped, the reactors overheated due to the high radioactive decay heat produced in the first few days after the nuclear reactor shut down. The temperature of the core climbed to at least $2200^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$, and the upper portion of the core began to melt. In addition, the zirconium alloy cladding of the fuel rods began to react with steam and produced hydrogen:\n\n$$\n\\mathrm{Zr}(s)+2 \\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}(g) \\longrightarrow \\mathrm{ZrO}_{2}(s)+2 \\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)\n$$\n\nThe hydrogen accumulated in the confinement building, and it was feared that there was danger of an explosion of the mixture of hydrogen and air in the building. Consequently, hydrogen gas and radioactive gases (primarily krypton and xenon) were vented from the building. Within a week, cooling water circulation was restored and the core began to cool. The plant was closed for nearly 10 years during the cleanup process.\n\nAlthough zero discharge of radioactive material is desirable, the discharge of radioactive krypton and xenon, such as occurred at the Three Mile Island plant, is among the most tolerable. These gases readily disperse in the atmosphere and thus do not produce highly radioactive areas. Moreover, they are noble gases and are not incorporated into plant and animal matter in the food chain. Effectively none of the heavy elements of the core of the reactor were released into the environment, and no cleanup of the area outside of the containment building was necessary (Figure 20.21)."} {"id": 5046, "contents": "2117. Nuclear Accidents - \nFIGURE 20.21 (a) In this 2010 photo of Three Mile Island, the remaining structures from the damaged Unit 2 reactor are seen on the left, whereas the separate Unit 1 reactor, unaffected by the accident, continues generating power to this day (right). (b) President Jimmy Carter visited the Unit 2 control room a few days after the accident in 1979.\n\nAnother major nuclear accident involving a reactor occurred in April 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine, which was still a part of the former Soviet Union. While operating at low power during an unauthorized experiment with some of its safety devices shut off, one of the reactors at the plant became unstable. Its chain reaction became uncontrollable and increased to a level far beyond what the reactor was designed for. The steam pressure in the reactor rose to between 100 and 500 times the full power pressure and ruptured the reactor. Because the reactor was not enclosed in a containment building, a large amount of radioactive material spewed out, and additional fission products were released, as the graphite (carbon) moderator of the core ignited and burned. The fire was controlled, but over 200 plant workers and firefighters developed acute radiation sickness and at least 32 soon died from the effects of the radiation. It is predicted that about 4000 more deaths will occur among emergency workers and former Chernobyl residents from radiation-induced cancer and leukemia. The reactor has since been encapsulated in steel and concrete, a now-decaying structure known as the sarcophagus. Almost 30 years later, significant radiation problems still persist in the area, and Chernobyl largely remains a wasteland.\n\nIn 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan was badly damaged by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and resulting tsunami. Three reactors up and running at the time were shut down automatically, and emergency generators came online to power electronics and coolant systems. However, the tsunami quickly flooded the emergency generators and cut power to the pumps that circulated coolant water through the reactors. High-temperature steam in the reactors reacted with zirconium alloy to produce hydrogen gas. The gas escaped into the containment building, and the mixture of hydrogen and air exploded. Radioactive material was released from the containment vessels as the result of deliberate venting to reduce the hydrogen pressure, deliberate discharge of coolant water into the sea, and accidental or uncontrolled events."} {"id": 5047, "contents": "2117. Nuclear Accidents - \nAn evacuation zone around the damaged plant extended over 12.4 miles away, and an estimated 200,000 people were evacuated from the area. All 48 of Japan's nuclear power plants were subsequently shut down, remaining shuttered as of December 2014. Since the disaster, public opinion has shifted from largely favoring to largely opposing increasing the use of nuclear power plants, and a restart of Japan's atomic energy program is still stalled (Figure 20.22).\n\n\nFIGURE 20.22 (a) After the accident, contaminated waste had to be removed, and (b) an evacuation zone was set up around the plant in areas that received heavy doses of radioactive fallout.

As discussed previously, the plutonium forms from the combination of neutrons and the uranium in the fuel. In any nuclear reactor, only about $0.1 \\%$ of the mass of the fuel is converted into energy. The other $99.9 \\%$ remains in the fuel rods as fission products and unused fuel. All of the fission products absorb neutrons, and after a period of several months to a few years, depending on the reactor, the fission products must be removed by changing the fuel rods. Otherwise, the concentration of these fission products would increase and absorb more neutrons until the reactor could no longer operate.\n\nSpent fuel rods contain a variety of products, consisting of unstable nuclei ranging in atomic number from 25 to 60 , some transuranium elements, including plutonium and americium, and unreacted uranium isotopes. The unstable nuclei and the transuranium isotopes give the spent fuel a dangerously high level of radioactivity. The long-lived isotopes require thousands of years to decay to a safe level. The ultimate fate of the nuclear reactor as a significant source of energy in the United States probably rests on whether or not a politically and scientifically satisfactory technique for processing and storing the components of spent fuel rods can be developed."} {"id": 5048, "contents": "2118.

Nuclear Fusion and Fusion Reactors - \nUseful fusion reactions require very high temperatures for their initiation-about 15,000,000 K or more. At these temperatures, all molecules dissociate into atoms, and the atoms ionize, forming plasma. These conditions occur in an extremely large number of locations throughout the universe-stars are powered by fusion. Humans have already figured out how to create temperatures high enough to achieve fusion on a large scale in thermonuclear weapons. A thermonuclear weapon such as a hydrogen bomb contains a nuclear fission bomb that, when exploded, gives off enough energy to produce the extremely high temperatures necessary for fusion to occur.\n\nAnother much more beneficial way to create fusion reactions is in a fusion reactor, a nuclear reactor in which fusion reactions of light nuclei are controlled. Because no solid materials are stable at such high temperatures, mechanical devices cannot contain the plasma in which fusion reactions occur. Two techniques to contain plasma at the density and temperature necessary for a fusion reaction are currently the focus of intensive research efforts: containment by a magnetic field and by the use of focused laser beams (Figure 20.23). A number of large projects are working to attain one of the biggest goals in science: getting hydrogen fuel to ignite and produce more energy than the amount supplied to achieve the extremely high temperatures and pressures that are required for fusion.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- List common applications of radioactive isotopes\n\nRadioactive isotopes have the same chemical properties as stable isotopes of the same element, but they emit radiation, which can be detected. If we replace one (or more) atom(s) with radioisotope(s) in a compound, we can track them by monitoring their radioactive emissions. This type of compound is called a radioactive tracer (or radioactive label). Radioisotopes are used to follow the paths of biochemical reactions or to determine how a substance is distributed within an organism. Radioactive tracers are also used in many medical applications, including both diagnosis and treatment. They are used to measure engine wear, analyze the geological formation around oil wells, and much more.\n\nRadioimmunossays (RIA), for example, rely on radioisotopes to detect the presence and/or concentration of certain antigens. Developed by Rosalyn Sussman Yalow and Solomon Berson in the 1950s, the technique is known for extreme sensitivity, meaning that it can detect and measure very small quantities of a substance. Prior to its discovery, most similar detection relied on large enough quantities to produce visible outcomes. RIA revolutionized and expanded entire fields of study, most notably endocrinology, and is commonly used in narcotics detection, blood bank screening, early cancer screening, hormone measurement, and allergy diagnosis. Based on her significant contribution to medicine, Yalow received a Nobel Prize, making her the second woman to be awarded the prize for medicine."} {"id": 5053, "contents": "2120.

Damaged tissues in the heart, liver, and lungs absorb certain compounds of technetium-99 preferentially. After it is injected, the location of the technetium compound, and hence the damaged tissue, can be determined by detecting the $\\gamma$ rays emitted by the Tc-99 isotope. Thallium-201 (Figure 20.24) becomes concentrated in healthy heart tissue, so the two isotopes, Tc-99 and Tl-201, are used together to study heart tissue. Iodine-131 concentrates in the thyroid gland, the liver, and some parts of the brain. It can therefore be used to monitor goiter and treat thyroid conditions, such as Grave's disease, as well as liver and brain tumors. Salt solutions containing compounds of sodium-24 are injected into the bloodstream to help locate obstructions to the flow of blood.\n\n\nFIGURE 20.24 Administering thallium-201 to a patient and subsequently performing a stress test offer medical professionals an opportunity to visually analyze heart function and blood flow.

All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, alpha and beta particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they produce ions and molecular fragments that are extremely reactive. The damage this does to biomolecules in living organisms can cause serious malfunctions in normal cell processes, taxing the organism's repair mechanisms and possibly causing illness or even death (Figure 20.30).\n\n\nFIGURE 20.30 Radiation can harm biological systems by damaging the DNA of cells.

Although biological systems are sensitive to heat (as we might know from touching a hot stove or spending a day at the beach in the sun), a large amount of nonionizing radiation is necessary before dangerous levels are reached. Ionizing radiation, however, may cause much more severe damage by breaking bonds or removing electrons in biological molecules, disrupting their structure and function. The damage can also be done indirectly, by first ionizing $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}$ (the most abundant molecule in living organisms), which forms a $\\mathrm{H}_{2} \\mathrm{O}^{+}$ion that reacts with water, forming a hydronium ion and a hydroxyl radical:\n\n\nBecause the hydroxyl radical has an unpaired electron, it is highly reactive.

Biological Effects of Exposure to Radiation - \nRadiation can harm either the whole body (somatic damage) or eggs and sperm (genetic damage). Its effects are more pronounced in cells that reproduce rapidly, such as the stomach lining, hair follicles, bone marrow, and embryos. This is why patients undergoing radiation therapy often feel nauseous or sick to their stomach, lose hair, have bone aches, and so on, and why particular care must be taken when undergoing radiation therapy during pregnancy.\n\nDifferent types of radiation have differing abilities to pass through material (Figure 20.33). A very thin barrier, such as a sheet or two of paper, or the top layer of skin cells, usually stops alpha particles. Because of this, alpha particle sources are usually not dangerous if outside the body, but are quite hazardous if ingested or inhaled (see the Chemistry in Everyday Life feature on Radon Exposure). Beta particles will pass through a hand, or a thin layer of material like paper or wood, but are stopped by a thin layer of metal. Gamma radiation is very penetrating and can pass through a thick layer of most materials. Some high-energy gamma radiation is able to pass through a few feet of concrete. Certain dense, high atomic number elements (such as lead) can effectively attenuate gamma radiation with thinner material and are used for shielding. The ability of various kinds of emissions to cause ionization varies greatly, and some particles have almost no tendency to produce ionization.

The radon gas that is produced slowly escapes from the ground and gradually seeps into homes and other structures above. Since it is about eight times more dense than air, radon gas accumulates in basements and lower floors, and slowly diffuses throughout buildings (Figure 20.34).\n\n\nFIGURE 20.34 Radon-222 seeps into houses and other buildings from rocks that contain uranium-238, a radon emitter. The radon enters through cracks in concrete foundations and basement floors, stone or porous cinderblock foundations, and openings for water and gas pipes.\n\nRadon is found in buildings across the country, with amounts depending on where you live. The average concentration of radon inside houses in the US ( $1.25 \\mathrm{pCi} / \\mathrm{L}$ ) is about three times the levels found in outside air, and about one in six houses have radon levels high enough that remediation efforts to reduce the radon concentration are recommended. Exposure to radon increases one's risk of getting cancer (especially lung cancer), and high radon levels can be as bad for health as smoking a carton of cigarettes a day. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers and the second leading cause of lung cancer overall.

Measuring Radiation Exposure - \nSeveral different devices are used to detect and measure radiation, including Geiger counters, scintillation counters (scintillators), and radiation dosimeters (Figure 20.35). Probably the best-known radiation instrument, the Geiger counter (also called the Geiger-M\u00fcller counter) detects and measures radiation. Radiation causes the ionization of the gas in a Geiger-M\u00fcller tube. The rate of ionization is proportional to the amount of radiation. A scintillation counter contains a scintillator-a material that emits light (luminesces) when excited by ionizing radiation-and a sensor that converts the light into an electric signal. Radiation dosimeters also measure ionizing radiation and are often used to determine personal radiation exposure. Commonly used types are electronic, film badge, thermoluminescent, and quartz fiber dosimeters.\n\n\nFIGURE 20.35 Devices such as (a) Geiger counters, (b) scintillators, and (c) dosimeters can be used to measure radiation.

Measuring Radiation Exposure - \nA variety of units are used to measure various aspects of radiation (Figure 20.36). The SI unit for rate of radioactive decay is the becquerel ( $\\mathbf{B q}$ ), with $1 \\mathrm{~Bq}=1$ disintegration per second. The curie ( $\\mathbf{C i}$ ) and millicurie $(\\mathbf{m C i})$ are much larger units and are frequently used in medicine ( 1 curie $=1 \\mathrm{Ci}=3.7 \\times 10^{10}$ disintegrations per second). The SI unit for measuring radiation dose is the gray (Gy), with $1 \\mathrm{~Gy}=1 \\mathrm{~J}$ of energy absorbed per kilogram of tissue.

A nucleus has less mass than the total mass of its constituent nucleons. This \"missing\" mass is the mass defect, which has been converted into the binding energy that holds the nucleus together according to Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation, $E=m c^{2}$. Of the many nuclides that exist, only a small number are stable. Nuclides with even numbers of protons or neutrons, or those with magic numbers of nucleons, are especially likely to be stable. These stable nuclides occupy a narrow band of stability on a graph of number of protons versus number of neutrons.

Some\nsubstances undergo radioactive decay series, proceeding through multiple decays before ending in a stable isotope. All nuclear decay processes follow first-order kinetics, and each radioisotope has its own characteristic half-life, the time that is required for half of its atoms to decay.

Because the neutrons may induce additional fission reactions when they combine with other heavy nuclei, a chain reaction can result. Useful power is obtained if the fission process is carried out in a nuclear reactor. The conversion of light nuclei into heavier nuclei (fusion) also produces energy.

Biological Effects of Radiation\nWe are constantly exposed to radiation from a variety of naturally occurring and human-produced sources. This radiation can affect living organisms. Ionizing radiation is the most harmful because it can ionize molecules or break chemical bonds, which damages the molecule and causes malfunctions in cell processes. It can also create reactive hydroxyl radicals that damage biological molecules and disrupt physiological processes. Radiation can cause somatic or genetic damage, and is most harmful to\nrapidly reproducing cells. Types of radiation differ in their ability to penetrate material and damage tissue, with alpha particles the least penetrating but potentially most damaging and gamma rays the most penetrating.\n\nVarious devices, including Geiger counters, scintillators, and dosimeters, are used to detect and measure radiation, and monitor radiation exposure. We use several units to measure radiation: becquerels or curies for rates of radioactive decay; gray or rads for energy absorbed; and rems or sieverts for biological effects of radiation. Exposure to radiation can cause a wide range of health effects, from minor to severe, and including death.

CHAPTER OUTLINE - 2138.1. Hydrocarbons\n21.2 Alcohols and Ethers\n21.3 Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic Acids, and Esters\n21.4 Amines and Amides\n\nINTRODUCTION All living things on earth are formed mostly of carbon compounds. The prevalence of carbon compounds in living things has led to the epithet \"carbon-based\" life. The truth is we know of no other kind of life. Early chemists regarded substances isolated from organisms (plants and animals) as a different type of matter that could not be synthesized artificially, and these substances were thus known as organic compounds. The widespread belief called vitalism held that organic compounds were formed by a vital force present only in living organisms. The German chemist Friedrich Wohler was one of the early chemists to refute this aspect of vitalism, when, in 1828, he reported the synthesis of urea, a component of many body fluids, from nonliving materials. Since then, it has been recognized that organic molecules obey the same natural laws as inorganic substances, and the category of organic compounds has evolved to include both natural and synthetic compounds that contain carbon. Some carbon-containing compounds are not classified as organic, for example, carbonates and cyanides, and simple oxides, such as CO and $\\mathrm{CO}_{2}$. Although a single, precise definition has yet to be identified by the chemistry community, most agree that a defining trait of organic molecules is the presence of carbon as the principal element, bonded to hydrogen and other carbon atoms.\n\nToday, organic compounds are key components of plastics, soaps, perfumes, sweeteners, fabrics, pharmaceuticals, and many other substances that we use every day. The value to us of organic compounds ensures that organic chemistry is an important discipline within the general field of chemistry. In this chapter, we discuss why the element carbon gives rise to a vast number and variety of compounds, how those compounds are classified, and the role of organic compounds in representative biological and industrial settings."} {"id": 5097, "contents": "2139. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - \nBy the end of this section, you will be able to:\n\n- Explain the importance of hydrocarbons and the reason for their diversity\n- Name saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, and molecules derived from them\n- Describe the reactions characteristic of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons\n- Identify structural and geometric isomers of hydrocarbons\n\nThe largest database ${ }^{\\frac{1}{1}}$ of organic compounds lists about 10 million substances, which include compounds originating from living organisms and those synthesized by chemists. The number of potential organic compounds has been estimated ${ }^{2}$ at $10^{60}$-an astronomically high number. The existence of so many organic molecules is a consequence of the ability of carbon atoms to form up to four strong bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in chains and rings of many different sizes, shapes, and complexities.\n\nThe simplest organic compounds contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen, and are called hydrocarbons. Even though they are composed of only two types of atoms, there is a wide variety of hydrocarbons because they may consist of varying lengths of chains, branched chains, and rings of carbon atoms, or combinations of these structures. In addition, hydrocarbons may differ in the types of carbon-carbon bonds present in their molecules. Many hydrocarbons are found in plants, animals, and their fossils; other hydrocarbons have been prepared in the laboratory. We use hydrocarbons every day, mainly as fuels, such as natural gas, acetylene, propane, butane, and the principal components of gasoline, diesel fuel, and heating oil. The familiar plastics polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are also hydrocarbons. We can distinguish several types of hydrocarbons by differences in the bonding between carbon atoms. This leads to differences in geometries and in the hybridization of the carbon orbitals."} {"id": 5098, "contents": "2140. Alkanes - \nAlkanes, or saturated hydrocarbons, contain only single covalent bonds between carbon atoms. Each of the carbon atoms in an alkane has $s p^{3}$ hybrid orbitals and is bonded to four other atoms, each of which is either carbon or hydrogen. The Lewis structures and models of methane, ethane, and pentane are illustrated in Figure 21.2. Carbon chains are usually drawn as straight lines in Lewis structures, but one has to remember that Lewis structures are not intended to indicate the geometry of molecules. Notice that the carbon atoms in the structural models (the ball-and-stick and space-filling models) of the pentane molecule do not lie in a straight line. Because of the $s p^{3}$ hybridization, the bond angles in carbon chains are close to $109.5^{\\circ}$, giving such chains in an alkane a zigzag shape.\n\nThe structures of alkanes and other organic molecules may also be represented in a less detailed manner by condensed structural formulas (or simply, condensed formulas). Instead of the usual format for chemical formulas in which each element symbol appears just once, a condensed formula is written to suggest the bonding in the molecule. These formulas have the appearance of a Lewis structure from which most or all of the bond symbols have been removed. Condensed structural formulas for ethane and pentane are shown at the bottom of Figure 21.2, and several additional examples are provided in the exercises at the end of this chapter.\n\n[^13]\n\n\n\n\n\nmethane\n$\\mathrm{CH}_{4}$\n\nethane\n$\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ or $\\mathrm{C}_{2} \\mathrm{H}_{6}$\n\npentane\n$\\mathrm{CH}_{3} \\mathrm{CH}_{2} \\mathrm{CH}_{2} \\mathrm{CH}_{2} \\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ or $\\mathrm{C}_{5} \\mathrm{H}_{12}$\n\nFIGURE 21.2 Pictured are the Lewis structures, ball-and-stick models, and space-filling models for molecules of methane, ethane, and pentane."} {"id": 5099, "contents": "2140.

Constitutional isomers have the same molecular formula but different spatial arrangements of the atoms in their molecules. The $n$-butane molecule contains an unbranched chain, meaning that no carbon atom is bonded to more than two other carbon atoms. We use the term normal, or the prefix $n$, to refer to a chain of carbon atoms without branching. The compound 2 -methylpropane has a branched chain (the carbon atom in the center of the Lewis structure is bonded to three other carbon atoms)\n\nIdentifying isomers from Lewis structures is not as easy as it looks. Lewis structures that look different may actually represent the same isomers. For example, the three structures in Figure 21.4 all represent the same molecule, $n$-butane, and hence are not different isomers. They are identical because each contains an unbranched chain of four carbon atoms.\n\n[^15]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIGURE 21.4 These three representations of the structure of $n$-butane are not isomers because they all contain the same arrangement of atoms and bonds."} {"id": 5108, "contents": "2150. The Basics of Organic Nomenclature: Naming Alkanes - \nThe International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has devised a system of nomenclature that begins with the names of the alkanes and can be adjusted from there to account for more complicated structures. The nomenclature for alkanes is based on two rules:\n\n1. To name an alkane, first identify the longest chain of carbon atoms in its structure. A two-carbon chain is called ethane; a three-carbon chain, propane; and a four-carbon chain, butane. Longer chains are named as follows: pentane (five-carbon chain), hexane (6), heptane (7), octane (8), nonane (9), and decane (10). These prefixes can be seen in the names of the alkanes described in Table 21.1.\n2. Add prefixes to the name of the longest chain to indicate the positions and names of substituents. Substituents are branches or functional groups that replace hydrogen atoms on a chain. The position of a substituent or branch is identified by the number of the carbon atom it is bonded to in the chain.

The ending -o replaces -ide at the end of the name of an electronegative substituent (in ionic compounds, the negatively charged ion ends with -ide like chloride; in organic compounds, such atoms are treated as substituents and the -o ending is used).

Answer: - \nAlkanes burn in the presence of oxygen, a highly exothermic oxidation-reduction reaction that produces carbon dioxide and water. As a consequence, alkanes are excellent fuels. For example, methane, $\\mathrm{CH}_{4}$, is the principal component of natural gas. Butane, $\\mathrm{C}_{4} \\mathrm{H}_{10}$, used in camping stoves and lighters is an alkane. Gasoline is a liquid mixture of continuous- and branched-chain alkanes, each containing from five to nine carbon atoms, plus various additives to improve its performance as a fuel. Kerosene, diesel oil, and fuel oil are primarily mixtures of alkanes with higher molecular masses. The main source of these liquid alkane fuels is crude oil, a complex mixture that is separated by fractional distillation. Fractional distillation takes advantage of differences in the boiling points of the components of the mixture (see Figure 21.6). You may recall that boiling point is a function of intermolecular interactions, which was discussed in the chapter on solutions and colloids.\n\n\nSmall molecules:\n\n- Low boiling point\n- Very volatile\n- Flows easily\n- Ignites easily\n\n\nLarge molecules:\n\n- High boiling point\n- Not very volatile\n- Does not flow easily\n- Does not ignite easily\n\nFIGURE 21.6 In a column for the fractional distillation of crude oil, oil heated to about $425^{\\circ} \\mathrm{C}$ in the furnace vaporizes when it enters the base of the tower.

These are complex organic molecules with long chains of carbon atoms, which contain at least one double bond between carbon atoms. Unsaturated hydrocarbon molecules that contain one or more double bonds are called alkenes. Carbon atoms linked by a double bond are bound together by two bonds, one $\\sigma$ bond and one $\\pi$ bond. Double and triple bonds give rise to a different geometry around the carbon atom that participates in them, leading to important differences in molecular shape and properties. The differing geometries are responsible for the different properties of unsaturated versus saturated fats.\n\nEthene, $\\mathrm{C}_{2} \\mathrm{H}_{4}$, is the simplest alkene. Each carbon atom in ethene, commonly called ethylene, has a trigonal planar structure. The second member of the series is propene (propylene) (Figure 21.7); the butene isomers follow in the series. Four carbon atoms in the chain of butene allows for the formation of isomers based on the position of the double bond, as well as a new form of isomerism.\n\n\nFIGURE 21.7 Expanded structures, ball-and-stick structures, and space-filling models for the alkenes ethene, propene, and 1-butene are shown.\n\nEthylene (the common industrial name for ethene) is a basic raw material in the production of polyethylene and other important compounds.

The variety of structures of polymers translates into a broad range of properties and uses that make them integral parts of our everyday lives.

In a set of geometric isomers, the same types of atoms are attached to each other in the same order, but the geometries of the two molecules differ. Geometric isomers of alkenes differ in the orientation of the groups on either side of a $\\mathbf{C}=\\mathbf{C}$ bond.\n\nCarbon atoms are free to rotate around a single bond but not around a double bond; a double bond is rigid.\n\nThis makes it possible to have two isomers of 2-butene, one with both methyl groups on the same side of the double bond and one with the methyl groups on opposite sides.

Carbohydrates can store energy, such as the polysaccharides glycogen in animals or starch in plants. They also provide structural support, such as the polysaccharide cellulose in plants and the modified polysaccharide chitin in fungi and animals. The sugars ribose and deoxyribose are components of the backbones of RNA and DNA, respectively. Other sugars play key roles in the function of the immune system, in cell-cell recognition, and in many other biological roles.\n\nDiabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has a high sugar concentration in their blood (Figure 21.13). Diabetes may be caused by insufficient insulin production by the pancreas or by the body's cells not responding properly to the insulin that is produced. In a healthy person, insulin is produced when it is needed and functions to transport glucose from the blood into the cells where it can be used for energy.\n\nThe long-term complications of diabetes can include loss of eyesight, heart disease, and kidney failure.\nIn 2013, it was estimated that approximately $3.3 \\%$ of the world's population ( $\\sim 380$ million people) suffered from diabetes, resulting in over a million deaths annually.

Carbohydrates and Diabetes - \nEven after treatment protocols were introduced, the need to continually monitor their glucose levels posed a challenge for people with diabetes. The first tests required a doctor or lab, and therefore limited access and frequency. Eventually, researchers developed small tablets that would react to the presence of glucose in urine, but these still required a relatively complex process. Chemist Helen Free, who was working on improvements to the tablets, conceived a simpler device: a small test strip. With her husband and research partner, Alfred Free, she produced the first such product for measuring glucose; soon after, she expanded the technology to provide test strips for other compounds and conditions. While very recent advances (such as breath tests, discussed earlier in the text) have shown promise in replacing test strips, they have been widely used for decades and remain a primary method today.\n\n\nFIGURE 21.13 Diabetes is a disease characterized by high concentrations of glucose in the blood.

Two of the $s p^{2}$ orbitals on the carbon atom in the carbonyl group are used to form $\\sigma$ bonds to the other carbon or hydrogen atoms in a molecule. The remaining $s p^{2}$ hybrid orbital forms a $\\sigma$ bond to the oxygen atom.

We can prepare a carbonyl group by oxidation of an alcohol-for organic molecules, oxidation of a carbon atom is said to occur when a carbon-hydrogen bond is replaced by a carbonoxygen bond. The reverse reaction-replacing a carbon-oxygen bond by a carbon-hydrogen bond-is a reduction of that carbon atom. Recall that oxygen is generally assigned a -2 oxidation number unless it is elemental or attached to a fluorine. Hydrogen is generally assigned an oxidation number of +1 unless it is attached to a metal. Since carbon does not have a specific rule, its oxidation number is determined algebraically by factoring the atoms it is attached to and the overall charge of the molecule or ion. In general, a carbon atom attached to an oxygen atom will have a more positive oxidation number and a carbon atom attached to a hydrogen atom will have a more negative oxidation number. This should fit nicely with your understanding of the polarity of $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{O}$ and $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ bonds.

The information in a DNA sequence is used to form two other types of polymers, one of which are proteins. The proteins interact to form a specific type of organism with individual characteristics.\n\nA genetic molecule is called DNA, which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. The four molecules that make up DNA are called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a single- or double-ringed molecule containing nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen called a nitrogenous base. Each base is bonded to a five-carbon sugar called deoxyribose. The sugar is in turn bonded to a phosphate group ( $-\\mathrm{PO}_{4}{ }^{3-}$ ) When new DNA is made, a polymerization reaction occurs that binds the phosphate group of one nucleotide to the sugar group of a second nucleotide. The nitrogenous bases of each nucleotide stick out from this sugar-phosphate backbone. DNA is actually formed from two such polymers coiled around each other and held together by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases. Thus, the two backbones are on the outside of the coiled pair of strands, and the bases are on the inside.

Organisms rely on proteins for a variety of functions-proteins transport molecules across cell membranes, replicate DNA, and catalyze metabolic reactions, to name only a few of their functions. The properties of proteins are functions of the combination of amino acids that compose them and can vary greatly. Interactions between amino acid sequences in the chains of proteins result in the folding of the chain into specific, threedimensional structures that determine the protein's activity.\n\nAmino acids are organic molecules that contain an amine functional group ( $-\\mathrm{NH}_{2}$ ), a carboxylic acid functional group ( -COOH ), and a side chain (that is specific to each individual amino acid). Most living things build proteins from the same 20 different amino acids. Amino acids connect by the formation of a peptide bond, which is a covalent bond formed between two amino acids when the carboxylic acid group of one amino acid reacts with the amine group of the other amino acid. The formation of the bond results in the production of a molecule of water (in general, reactions that result in the production of water when two other molecules combine are referred to as condensation reactions). The resulting bond-between the carbonyl group carbon atom and the amine nitrogen atom is called a peptide link or peptide bond. Since each of the original amino acids has an unreacted group (one has an unreacted amine and the other an unreacted carboxylic acid), more peptide bonds can form to other amino acids, extending the structure.

Enzymes function by lowering the activation energy of the reaction they are catalyzing, which can dramatically increase the rate of the reaction. Most reactions catalyzed by enzymes have rates that are millions of times faster than the noncatalyzed version. Like all catalysts, enzymes are not consumed during the reactions that they catalyze. Enzymes do differ from other catalysts in how specific they are for their substrates (the molecules that an enzyme will convert into a different product).

The first number of the product, the digit term, is usually a number not less than 1 and not equal to or greater than 10. The second number of the product, the exponential term, is written as 10 with an exponent.

This violates Dalton's postulate that that atoms are not created during a chemical change, but are merely redistributed.\n2. This statement violates Dalton's fourth postulate: In a given compound, the numbers of atoms of each type (and thus also the percentage) always have the same ratio.\n3. Dalton originally thought that all atoms of a particular element had identical properties, including mass. Thus, the concept of isotopes, in which an element has different masses, was a violation of the original idea. To account for the existence of isotopes, the second postulate of his atomic theory was modified to state that atoms of the same element must have identical chemical properties.\n4.

Both involve a relatively heavy nucleus with electrons moving around it, although strictly speaking, the Bohr model works only for one-electron atoms or ions. According to classical mechanics, the Rutherford model predicts a miniature \"solar system\" with electrons moving about the nucleus in circular or elliptical orbits that are confined to planes. If the requirements of classical electromagnetic theory that electrons in such orbits would emit electromagnetic radiation are ignored, such atoms would be stable, having constant energy and angular momentum, but would not emit any visible light (contrary to observation). If classical electromagnetic theory is applied, then the Rutherford atom would emit electromagnetic radiation of continually increasing frequency (contrary to the observed discrete spectra), thereby losing energy until the atom collapsed in an absurdly short time (contrary to the observed long-term stability of atoms). The Bohr model retains the classical mechanics view of circular orbits confined to planes having constant energy and angular momentum, but restricts these to quantized values dependent on a single quantum number, $n$. The orbiting electron in Bohr's model is assumed not to emit any electromagnetic radiation while moving about the nucleus in its stationary orbits, but the atom can emit or absorb electromagnetic radiation when the electron changes from one orbit to another. Because of the quantized orbits, such \"quantum jumps\" will produce discrete spectra, in agreement with observations."} {"id": 5354, "contents": "2285. Chapter 3 - \n16. Both models have a central positively charged nucleus with electrons moving about the nucleus in accordance with the Coulomb electrostatic potential. The Bohr model assumes that the electrons move in circular orbits that have quantized energies, angular momentum, and radii that are specified by a single quantum number, $n=1,2,3, \\ldots$, but this quantization is an ad hoc assumption made by Bohr to incorporate quantization into an essentially classical mechanics description of the atom. Bohr also assumed that electrons orbiting the nucleus normally do not emit or absorb electromagnetic radiation, but do so when the electron switches to a different orbit. In the quantum mechanical model, the electrons\ndo not move in precise orbits (such orbits violate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle) and, instead, a probabilistic interpretation of the electron's position at any given instant is used, with a mathematical function $\\psi$ called a wavefunction that can be used to determine the electron's spatial probability distribution. These wavefunctions, or orbitals, are three-dimensional stationary waves that can be specified by three quantum numbers that arise naturally from their underlying mathematics (no ad hoc assumptions required): the principal quantum number, $n$ (the same one used by Bohr), which specifies shells such that orbitals having the same $n$ all have the same energy and approximately the same spatial extent; the angular momentum quantum number 1 , which is a measure of the orbital's angular momentum and corresponds to the orbitals' general shapes, as well as specifying subshells such that orbitals having the same $l$ (and $n$ ) all have the same energy; and the orientation quantum number $m$, which is a measure of the $z$ component of the angular momentum and corresponds to the orientations of the orbitals. The Bohr model gives the same expression for the energy as the quantum mechanical expression and, hence, both properly account for hydrogen's discrete spectrum (an example of getting the right answers for the wrong reasons, something that many chemistry students can sympathize with), but gives the wrong expression for the angular momentum (Bohr orbits necessarily all have non-zero angular momentum, but some quantum orbitals [ $s$ orbitals] can have zero angular momentum)."} {"id": 5355, "contents": "2285.

(a) Dispersion forces occur as an atom develops a temporary dipole moment when its electrons are distributed asymmetrically about the nucleus. This structure is more prevalent in large atoms such as argon or radon. A second atom can then be distorted by the appearance of the dipole in the first atom. The electrons of the second atom are attracted toward the positive end of the first atom, which sets up a dipole in the second atom. The net result is rapidly fluctuating, temporary dipoles that attract one another (e.g., Ar). (b) A dipole-dipole attraction is a force that results from an electrostatic attraction of the positive end of one polar molecule for the negative end of another polar molecule (e.g., ICI molecules attract one another by dipole-dipole interaction). (c) Hydrogen bonds form whenever a hydrogen atom is bonded to one of the more electronegative atoms, such as a fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen atom.

Both examples involve cathodic protection. The (sacrificial) anode is the metal that corrodes (oxidizes or reacts). In the case of iron ( -0.447 V ) and zinc ( -0.7618 V ), zinc has a more negative standard reduction potential and so serves as the anode. In the case of iron and copper ( 0.34 V ), iron has the smaller standard reduction potential and so corrodes (serves as the anode).\n42. While the reduction potential of lithium would make it capable of protecting the other metals, this high potential is also indicative of how reactive lithium is; it would have a spontaneous reaction with most substances. This means that the lithium would react quickly with other substances, even those that would not oxidize the metal it is attempting to protect. Reactivity like this means the sacrificial anode would be depleted rapidly and need to be replaced frequently.

Both reactions result in bromine being incorporated into the structure of the product. The difference is the way in which that incorporation takes place. In the saturated hydrocarbon, an existing $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{H}$ bond is broken, and a bond between the C and the Br can then be formed. In the unsaturated hydrocarbon, the only bond broken in the hydrocarbon is the $\\pi$ bond whose electrons can be used to form a bond to one of the bromine atoms in $\\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ (the electrons from the $\\mathrm{Br}-\\mathrm{Br}$ bond form the other $\\mathrm{C}-\\mathrm{Br}$ bond on the other carbon that was part of the $\\pi$ bond in the starting unsaturated hydrocarbon).\n3.

Additional details on this group's elements are provided in a chapter on transition metals and coordination chemistry.\n\nNote that orbitals may sometimes be drawn in an elongated \"balloon\" shape rather than in a more realistic \"plump\" shape in order to make the geometry easier to visualize.\n\nThe IUPAC definition of standard pressure was changed from 1 atm to $1 \\mathrm{bar}(100 \\mathrm{kPa})$ in 1982, but the prior definition remains in use by many literature resources and will be used in this text.\n\n\"Quotations by Joseph-Louis Lagrange,\" last modified February 2006, accessed February 10, 2015, http://www-history.mcs.standrews.ac.uk/Quotations/Lagrange.html\n\nUS Energy Information Administration, Primary Energy Consumption by Source and Sector, 2012, http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/ data/monthly/pdf/flow/css_2012_energy.pdf.

For example, the new name for 2-propanol would be propan-2-ol. Widespread adoption of this new nomenclature will take some time, and students are encouraged to be familiar with both the old and new naming protocols.\n\nAcids and bases are commercially available as aqueous solutions. This table lists properties (densities and concentrations) of common acid and base solutions. Nominal values are provided in cases where the manufacturer cites a range of concentrations and densities.\n2 This column contains specific gravity data. In the case of this table, specific gravity is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of pure water at the same conditions. Specific gravity is often cited on commercial labels.\n3 This solution is sometimes called \"ammonium hydroxide,\" although this term is not chemically accurate.\n\n\\mathrm{y}=$ years, $\\mathrm{d}=$ days, $\\mathrm{h}=$ hours, $\\mathrm{m}=$ minutes, $\\mathrm{s}=$ seconds"}
