1.2-1.3 Bonding Atoms trying to attain the stable
configuration of a noble (inert) gas - often
referred to as the octet rule
1.2 Ionic Bonding - Electrons Transferred
1.3 Covalent Bonding - Electrons Shared
type of bond that is formed is dictated by the
relative electronegativities of the elements
involved

1.11 Curved Arrows Extremely Important

• Curved arrows are used to track the flow of
  electrons in chemical reactions.
• Consider the reaction shown below which shows
  the dissociation of AB

19
Curved Arrows to Describe a Reaction

• Many reactions involve both bond breaking
• and bond formation. More than one arrow
• may be required.

1.12 Acids and Bases - Definitions
Arrhenius An acid ionizes in water to give
protons. A base ionizes in water to give
hydroxide ions. Brønsted-Lowry An acid is a
proton donor. A base is a proton
acceptor. Lewis An acid is an electron pair
acceptor. A base is an electron pair donor.
21
1.13 A Brønsted-Lowry Acid-Base Reaction

Need to know by next class pKa
-log10Ka STRONG ACID LOW pKa WEAK ACID
HIGH pKa HI, HCl, HNO3, H3PO4 pKa -10 to -5
Super strong acids H3O pKa

(alkynes) pKa 26 RNH2 pKa 36 Extremely
weak acid RCH3 pKa 60 Not acidic at all
28
1.14 What happened to pKb?

• A separate basicity constant Kb is not
  necessary.
• Because of the conjugate relationships in the
  Brønsted-Lowry approach, we can examine acid-base
  reactions by relying exclusively on pKa values.

pKa 60 Essentially not acidic
Corresponding base Extremely strong
29
1.15 How Structure Affects Acid/Base Strength

• Bond Strength
• Acidity of HX increases (HIgtHBrgtHClgtHF) down the
  periodic table as H-X bond strength decreases and
  conjugate base (X- anion) size increases.

30
Electronegativity Acidity increases across
periodic table as the atom attached to H gets
more electronegative (HFgtH2OgtH2NgtCH4).
31
Inductive Effects Electronegative groups/atoms
remote from the acidic H can effect the pKa of
the acid.
pKa 16 pKa 11.3

• O H bond in CF3CH2OH is more polarized
• CF3CH2O- is stabilized by EW fluorine atoms

32
Resonance Stabilization in Anion Delocalization
of charge in anion (resonance) makes the anion
more stable and thus the conjugate acid more
acidic e.g. (CH3CO2H gt CH3CH2OH).

Product is a stable substance. It is a liquid
with a boiling point of 126C. Of the two
reactants, BF3 is a gas and CH3CH2OCH2CH3 has a
boiling point of 34C.
