CARBON AND ITS COMPOUNDS

Carbon has a unique place in our lives. Each living cell, food, wood, paper, petro-chemicals, cooking gas, perfumes, etc. are all made up of carbon. This abundance, together with the unique diversity of organic compounds and their unusual polymer-forming ability at the temperatures commonly encountered on earth, make this element the chemical basis of all known life. In fact more than $90 %$ of all known compounds contain carbon. Carbon is the 15th most abundant element in the earth’s crust, and the fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. Chemistry of carbon compounds is known as organic chemistry. Organic chemistry encompasses study of all carbon-hydrogen compounds. These are also called hydrocarbons. Inorganic carbon chemistry is the study of oxides, nitrides and allotropes of carbon. Because of the unique bonding properties of carbon, there are millions of different organic chemicals. Each one has unique properties. These are organic chemicals that make up your hair, your skin, even your fingernails.

Carbon has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. Its chemical symbol is ${ }^{12} C_6$. Its electronic configuration is 2 electrons in the K-shell, and 4 electrons in the L-shell. In principle it should either give up or borrow 4 electrons while forming compounds. But it doesn’t form ionic bonds at all. It likes to share its four electrons with other atoms and form covalent bonds instead. Carbon covalent bonds are the strongest in nature.

TRTRAVALENCYIN CARBON:

A carton atom has a total of sis electrons occupying the first twvo shells, i.e., the K-shell has two electrons and the L-shell has four eleitrons. This distribution indicates that in the outermost shell there are one completely filled ’ $x$ ’ orbital and two half-filled ’ $p$ ’ orbitals, showing carton to be a divalent atom. But in actuality, carbon displays tetravalency in the combined state. Therefore, a carton atom has four valence electrons. It could gain four elections to form $C^{-1}$ mion or lose four electrons to form $C^{4+}$ cation. Both these conditions reyuire large amount of energy. Thus it has a very little tendency to form ionic compounds. To overcome this problem carbon undergoes bonding by sharing its valence electron with other carbon atoms or with atoms of other elements. This allows it to the covalently bonded to one, two, three or four carbon atoms or atoms of other elements or groups of atoms (molecule).

  • this charactivistic of cavfien atim by uirtue of which it form four covalent bonds is generally referred te as tetracusalency of carkion.

  • Not just carkan, hut many other elements farm molecules by sharing valence electrons. The shared dectrons ‘Kedeng’ ta the outer sfictls of foth the atoms and lead ta both atoms attaining the noble gas configuration.

Let us see how carbon forms the single, double and triple bonds in the following examples.

Methane Molecule :

Carbon atom has four electrons in its outermost shell. Thus, it requires four more electrons to acquire a stable noble gas configuration. Each of the hydrogen atoms has only one electron in its outermost shell and requires one more electron to complete its outermost shell (to acquire He configuration). This is done as follows.

Methane is the simplest hydracartion and is Rnown as marsh gas

Carbon Dioxide Molecule :

The electronic configurations of carbon and oxygen are:

C 2,4

$0 \quad 2,6$

Thus, each carbon atom requires four, and each oxygen atom requires two more electrons to acquire noble gas configurations. To achieve this, two oxygen atoms form a double covalent bond with carbon as follows.

$ \begin{aligned} & : \ddot{O}:+C:+: \ddot{O:} \quad: \ddot{O}: \times \times C_x^{\times}: \ddot{O}: \text{ or } O=C=O \\ & \begin{matrix} (2,6) & (2,4) \quad(2,6) \quad(2,8)(2,8)(2,8) \end{matrix} \end{aligned} $

Acetylene Molecule :

Carbon atom has four electrons in its outermost shell and hydrogen atoms have only one electron in its outermost shell. Carbon share one of its electrons with hydrogen to form a single bond each. Each carbon then requires three more electrons to acquire a stable configuration of the nearest noble gas (neon). This is done by mutually sharing of three pairs of electrons between the two carbon atoms to form a triple bond as shown below.

$\hspace{30mm} \begin{aligned} & \text{ helium neon helium } \\ & \text{ configuration } \end{aligned} $

CHECK Point

~~ Explain the formation of carbon double bond in ethylene molecule.

~~ SOLUTION

Carbon atom has four electrons in its outermost shell and hydrogen atoms have only one electron in its outermost shell. Two carbon atoms share four electrons (two each atom) with four electrons of four hydrogen atoms. Each carbon then requires two more electrons to acquire a stable configuration which is done by mutual sharing of two pairs of electrons between two carbon atom to form a double as shown below.

ALLOTROPES OF CARBON:

Carbor (in Latin carbo means charcoal) is an element of prehistoric discovery. It is very widely distribured in nature. It is found in abundance in the sun, stars, comets, and atmospheres of most planets.

Carbon in the form of microscopic diamands is found in some meteorites

Carbon can either be in structural crystalline forms or may occur in a structure-less amorphous form. Some elements like carbon. sulphur, tin, oxygen, etc. are found in more than one structural forms. That is some elements can have several different structural forms while in the same physical state. These differing forms are called allotropes and the phenomena is called allotropy: The various allotropic forms of carbon can be broadly classified into two classes.

Crystalline form : Diamond, Graphite

Amorphous form : Coal, Coke, Charcoal (or wood charcoal), Animal Charcoal (or bone black), Lamp black, Carton Black, Gats carbon and Petroleum coke.

For example in crystalline form, pure carbon is found as graphite, diamond, Buckministertullerenc.

Structure of Buckministerfullerence

There is another form of crystalline carbon Rnown as “white” carbon, but not much is finsun ofsut it. Canditions ouch as temperature and pressure determine which allatrope of carbon occurs.

A diamond is hard, clear, and shiny substance. It is formed under very high temperatures and pressure. Graphite is black, witw z slippery, greasy feel. Graphite is formed on heating coke or coal.

Jhough non-metallic, graphite passesses a metallic lustre. It is insoluble in ordinary selvents. Crupbits is used in making electrades in electric fuinances and electric ares. It is alsa used in lead pencils.

CHECK Point

~~

  • Why diamond is used for making cutting and grinding instruments?

~~

  • Why diamond is important material for making jewellary?

SOLUTION

~~

  • Diamond has ability to reflect and refract light makes diamond an important material for making jewellary.

As we know diamond is the hardest substance that’s why it is used in making cutting and grinding instruments.

Comparison between Diamonds and Graphite :

Diamond Graphite
1. Diamond is the hardest material known. 1. Graphite is one of the softest materials known.
2. Diamond is the ultimate abrasive. 2. Graphite is a very good lubricant.
3. Diamond is an excellent electrical insulator 3. Graphite is a conductor of electricity.
4. Diamond is the best known naturally 4. Some forms of graphite are used for thermal insulation
occurring thermal conductor (i.e. firebreaks and heat shields)
5. Diamond is highly transparent. 5. Graphite is opaque.
6. Diamond crystallizes in the cubic system. 6. Graphite crystallizes in the hexagonal system.

These differences in the properties of diamond and graphite are due to the difference in their structures. In diamond, cact Catom is linked to its neighbours by four single covalent bonds. This leads to a three-dimensional network of covalent bonds In graphitio, the carbon atoms are arranged in flat parallel layers as regular hexagons. Each carbon in these layers is bonded to threc whers by covalent bonds. Graphite thus acquires some double bond character. Each layer is bonded to adjacent layers by weak van der Waals forces. Moreover one electron is free at each carbon atom. This allows each layer to slide over the other casily. Due to this typ of struxture graphite is soft and slippery, and can act as a lubricant. Graphite is also a good conductor of electricity duc to mobile eletrens in it.

~~ Graphite is alse used as a industrial lubricant hecause it possesses high metting poimt. Shas theve is wer change in structure accur even in machineries warking at high temperature and graphite there alsn seves as goved eubricant.

CHECK Point

~~ Why graphite is used as lubricant?

~~ SOLUTION

As structure of graphite contains flat hexagonal parallel layers joined together by weak vander waals forces. Thus these layers can slide over one another easily making graphite a good lubricant.

Buckministerfullerenes contain 60 carbon atoms arranged in a round molecule resembling a soccer ball. C60 molecule has marvelously symmetrical structure.

C60 molecule is a fused-ring of aramatic system containing 20 hexagons and 12 pentagans of $C$ atoms. She five membered rings are connected to six membered rings while the six membered rings are fused to bath five and six membered rings.

The structure bends around and closes to form a soccer ball shaped molecule. It is therefore, called buckyball also. Fullerenes were first prepared by the evaporation of graphite using a laser. These can be conveniently made by heating graphite in an electric arc in the presence of helium or argon. Fullerene looks different from diamond and graphite. It is a yellow powdery substance and are soluble in organic solvents and form coloured solutions. It turns pink on dissolution in solvents like toluene. It polymerizes on exposure to U.V. radiations. Fullerenes are fascinating because they show unusual characteristics and applications like: They are wonderful lubricants because the balls can roll between the surfaces.

CHECK Point

~~ How many hexagonal and pentagonal rings are present in $C 60$ molecules?

~~ SOLUTION

It contains 20 hexagonal and 12 pentagonal rings fused together.

ILLUSTRATION

SOLUTION:

Diamond

Three different allotropes of crystalline forms of carbon are diamond, graphite and Buck minister fullerene. Mention five important uses of each form at industrial and domestic scale. You can take help of internet, television, science magazine etc.

CATENATION IN CARBON :

Carbon atom is unique amongst all the elements that are found in nature. It can form long chain molecules. The ability of carbon to form a long chain is called catenation. Carbon forms strong bond because of its small size which enables the nucleus to held on to the shared pairs of electrons strongly. The chains are formed because carbon atoms form tetravalent bonds with other carbon atoms. This structure can be repeated endlessly without disturbing the stability of the bonds and the compounds formed. The chains can form branches, and sub-branches. The carbon atoms also form rings. The rings themselves can have more rings attached to them. The list is endless. Most of the protein molecules, amino acids are long chain carbon molecules.

Figure : Variety of carbon chains formed when carbon atoms join together.

In addition, carbon atoms may be linked by single, double or triple bonds. Compounds of carbon, which are linked by only single bonds between the carbon atoms are called saturated compounds. Compounds of carbon having double or triple bonds between their carbon atoms are called unsaturated compounds.

CHECK Point

~~

  • What is so special about carbon so that one entire major branch of chemistry is devoted to its compound with hydrogen?

~~ SOLUTION

Carbon has a unique property of catenation because of which it is capable to form long straight and branched carbon chains also rings of carbon atoms. Thus it forms large number of compounds with hydrogen called hydrocarbons. Chemistry of these hydrocarbons are studied under separate branch called organic chemistry.

ILLUSTRATION-2

In the following compound carbon atom with * mark is primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary carbon atom?

$CH_3-\underset{\underset{\text{ C }}{CH_3}}{\stackrel{-}{C} C}-CH_3$

SOLUTION:

The carbon atom with * mark is tertiary carbon atom as it is attached to three another carbon atoms.

COMPOUNDS OF CARBON:

Compounds of carbon can broadly classified into two main categories, namely inorganic and organic.

Inorganic compounds: These include compounds of carbon with metals and non-metals (other than hydrogen) such as oxygen, hologens etc. These do not have carbon-carbon bonds.

Organic compounds: These include compounds of carbon with hydrogen i.e., hydrocarbons and their derivatives. These contain carbon-carbon bonds.

Inorganic Compounds of Carbon :

Carbon combines with a variety of other elements like oxygen, halogens, metals, etc., to form binary compounds respectively named as oxides, halides and carbides.

Oxides of carbon :

1. Carbon monoxide, $CO$

(i) Carbon monoxide is a colourless, tasteless gas with faint odour.

(ii) Carbon monoxide is extremely poisonous in nature. The poisonous nature of $CO$ is due to the fact that it combines with haemoglobin (a red colouring matter of blood), oxygen carrier of blood, to form a stable compound carboxyhaemoglobin. With the result the oxygen transporation is disturbed and thus brain and body tissues do not get necessary oxygen and ultimately death occurs. This explains why people sleeping in closed rooms with charcoal fire burning inside dies.

Uses :

(i) Carbon monoxide is used as a fuel in the form of water gas $(CO+H_2)$ and producer gas $(CO+N_2)$.

(ii) It is used in making metal carbonyls among which nickel tetracarbonyl is used in the extraction of nickel.(Mond’s process).

(iii) It is used in the manufacture of methanol, synthetic petrol and phosgene.

(iv) It is used as a reducing agent in metallurgy of iron and in the manufacture of hydrogen.

(v) Iron carbonyl is used in the manufacture of magnetic tapes for videos and tape recorders.

2. Carbon dioxide, $CO_2$

It is present in air to the extent of $0.03 %$ by volume. It is found in caves, mines, etc., and it evolves from volcanoes.

(i) Carbon dioxide can be easily liquefied under pressure (50-60 atmospheres) and also solidified. Solid carbon dioxide is technically known as dry ice because it evaporates (sublimes) without liquefying (it sublimes at $195 K$ ). Solid carbon dioxide is used as a refrigerant (coolant). Under the commercial name of drikold. When it is placed in an organic solvent like ether, it gives a constant temperature of $173 K$.

(ii) Although $CO_2$ is not poisonous in nature, it does not support life and animals die in it for want of oxygen.

(iii) It is neither combustible nor a suporter of combustion. But certain active metals like $Na, K$ and $Mg$ continue burning in atmosphere of $CO_2$. It is due to the fact that the active metals combine with oxygen $CO_2$ to form the oxides. The latter combine with $CO_2$ to form carbonates.

$ 2 Mg+CO_2 \longrightarrow 2 MgO+C $

(iv) Carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll (green colouring matter) to form glucose and higher carbohydrates. This process is known as photosynthesis.

$ 6 CO_2+6 H_2 O \longrightarrow \text{ chlorophyll } C_6 H _{12} O_6+6 O_2 $


Reaction of carbon with the halogens:
Graphite reacts with fluorine, $F_2$, at high temperatures to make a mixture of carbon tetrafluoride, $CF_4$, together with some $C_2 F_6$ and $C_5 F _{12}$}

$ C(s)+ \text{excess } F_2(g) \longrightarrow CF_4(g)+C_2 F_6+C_5 F _{12} $

At room temperature, the reaction with fluorine is complex. The result is ‘graphite fluoride’, a non-stoichiometric species with formula $C F_x$

Reaction of carbon with the transition metals:

The usual method of preparing polycrystalline transition metal carbides on the research scale involves the direct reaction of metal or metal hydride powders with carbon.

$ \begin{gathered} M+C \to M C \\ M H+C \to M C+H_2 \end{gathered} $

Organic Compounds :

Origin and Defination of Organic Compounds :

According to the earlier defination organic chemistry was defined as the chemistry of substances found in the living matter (Berzelius in 1808). Further, Berzelius in 1815 also suggested that the organic-compounds could be prepared only by living organisms under the influence of a mysterious force known as the vital force (life-force). The vital force theory remain unchallanged until 1828, when Friedrich Wohler, a German chemist, reported the synthesis of a typical organic compound urea by heating an inorganic compound, ammonium cyanate.

The synthesis of urea from inorganic compounds gave a blow to the vital force theory and thus the distinction between organic and inorganic compounds based on vital force soon started fading away. The vital force theory was completely dicarded after the synthesis of acetic acid from C, H and O (Kolbe, 1845) and methane (Bertholet, 1856). Subsequently, a large number of naturally occurring organic compounds were synthesized in the laboratory and the vital force theory was decisively disproved.

However, all the organic compounds were found to contain carbon as one of the elements. Thus the emphasis for the definition of organic compounds was shifted from origin to composition. Accordingly, organic chemistry has now been defined as the chemistry of carbon compounds.

On the fasis of this definitian, the study of compounds lite $CO, CO_2, H_2 CO_3$, carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, carfides, etc., shatd fe included in argantc chembtry, But due to their greater resemblance with inorganic compounds these are studied under inarganic chemistry.

Further, since all the organic compounds could be considered as derivatives of hydrocarbons, a more appropriate definition for the organic ehemistry is the study of hydrocarbons and their derivatives.

Chemical Properties of Carbon Compounds:

Combustion:

Combustion means the burning of a substance. It is a process that is highly exothermic i.e., produces a lot of heat.Combustion, at its most general, can mean the reaction of oxygen gas $(O_2)$ with anything. However, we will understand combustion to mean the reaction of oxygen with a compound containing carbon and hydrogen.

it is usually shown as:

These are some examples:

$ C_x H_y+2 O_2 \longrightarrow CO_2+2 H_2 O $

$ \begin{aligned} & CH_4+2 O_2 \longrightarrow CO_2+2 H_2 O \\ & C_2 H_6+\frac{7}{2} O_2 \longrightarrow 2 CO_2+3 H_2 O \\ & C_6 H _{12} O_6+6 O_2 \longrightarrow 6 CO_2+6 H_2 O \\ & C_2 H_5 OH+3 O_2 \longrightarrow 2 CO_2+3 H_2 O \end{aligned} $

Notice that some compounds contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. However, the products are all the same, in every reaction.

If compaund undergaing cambustian cantain nitragen (burns ta farm $NO_2$ ) ar oulfur (Burns ta farm $SO_2$ ). Like this:

$ \begin{aligned} & C _{21} H _{24} N_2 O_4+O_2 \longrightarrow CO_2+H_2 O+NO_2 \\ & C_2 H_5 SH+O_2 \longrightarrow CO_2+H_2 O+SO_2 \end{aligned} $

  • Shere are complexities with combustion as you get deeper inta it. Far example, a cambustion with insufficient axygen yields cartion manaxide rather than carkan diaxide.

Combustion can be of two type : spontaneous and rapid combustion. When substance does not need external heat energy to start the combustion, the process is called spontaneous combustion. For example, when white phosphorus is kept in air for sometime, it will automatically catch fire. The phosphorus reacts with air to form oxide, which is an exothermic reaction. The heat generated by the

$CH_4(g)$ $+O_2(g)$ $\Delta$ $CO_2(g)+2 H_2 O($ Vap $)+$ Heat
Methan oxygen $\longrightarrow$ carbon water
dioxide

formation of the oxide ignites the rest of the white phosphorus. Spontaneous combustion is also seen where dry forest or grass is present. The heat in the atmosphere may start the burning. Rapid combustion occurs when a large amount of heat is released in a very short time. Example of rapid combustion can be sighted in case of bombs. Lighting up of LPG in the kitchen, which produces heat and light immediately, is also an example of spontaneous combustion.

Carbon, in all its allotropic forms, burns in oxygen to give carbon dioxide along with the release of heat and light. Most carbon compounds also release a large amount of heat and light on burning. For example, methane burns with a blue flame in air.

CHECK Point

~~

  • Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) which is used these days in automobiles undergoes spontaneous or rapid combustion?

~~ SOLUTION

CNG undergoes rapid combustion in automobile’s internal combustion engine, it does not ignite by itself.

Some carbon compounds are very combustible and have an explosive reaction with air e.g., alkenes. They bum with a luminous flame to produce carbon dioxide and water vapour. Some hydrocarbon compounds undergo cracking or thermal decomposition. In this process, substances (complex hydrocarbons) are heated to high temperature $(500-800^{\circ} C)$ in the absence of air, and they decompose into a mixture of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons (lesser complex hydrocarbons) and hydrogen. Saturated hydrocarbons will generally give a clean flame while unsaturated carbon compounds will give a yellow flame with lots of black smoke,limiting the supply of air results in incomplete combustion of even saturated hydrocarbons giving a sooty flame. The gas/kerosene stove used at home has inlets for air so that a sufficiently oxygen-rich mixture is burnt to give a clean blue flame. If you observe the bottom of cooking vessels getting blackened, it means that the air holes are blocked and fuel is getting wasted. Fuels such as coal and petroleum have some amount of nitrogen and sulphur in them. Their combustion results in the formation of oxides of sulphur and nitrogen which are major pollutants in the environment.

ILLUSTRATION-3

What are the products obtained on combustion of ethylene?

SOLUTION:

Carbon dioxide and water vapour

$CH_2=CH_2+3 O_2 \longrightarrow 2 CO_2+2 H_2 O$

ethylene

CHECK Point

~~

  • Observe the following experimental setup carefully.

(a)

(b)

(c)

Which set up will produce smoke :

~~ SOLUTION

Setup (b) will produce smoke as the oil taken in spoon contain unsaturated hydrocarbons which burns with luminous flame and produce more smoke.

Oxidation:

Carbon undergoes oxidation by combining with oxygen at higher temperature to form oxides, viz., carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$. Carbon monoxide is formed, when incomplete combustion of carbon or carbon containing fuels takes place.

$ C+\frac{1}{2} O_2 \longrightarrow CO(g) $

$CO$ is present in automobile exhausts (when there is incomplete combustion), volcanic gases, chimney gases etc. Carbon dioxide may be prepared by the complete combustion of carbon, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide etc.

$ \begin{aligned} & C+O_2(g) \longrightarrow CO_2(g)+\text{ Heat } \\ & 2 CO+O_2(g) \longrightarrow 2 CO_2(g)+\text{ Heat } . \\ & CH_4+2 O_2(g) \longrightarrow CO_2(g)+2 H_2 O \end{aligned} $

Carbon containing compounds undergo oxidation reactions when burnt in air or oxygen in the presence of catalyst or necessary condition required to give useful products other then $CO_2$ and $H_2 O$. For example, when methane is mixed with oxygen and heated in presence of molybdenum oxide, it gets oxidized to methanal or formaldehyde.

$ 2 CH_4+O_2(g) \xrightarrow[\text{ Molybdenum oxide }]{350-500^{\circ} C} HCHO+2 H_2 O $

Oxidation of carbon compounds is used as for producing other carbon compounds with different functional groups like alcohol, carboxylic acid, ethers etc. Oxidation is achieved by using an oxygen atmosphere or oxidizing agents like alkaline $KMnO_4$ or acidified $K_2 Cr_2 O_7$. Methanol, an industrial alcohol, for instance, is prepared by the oxidation of methane.

$ 2 CH_4+O_2(g) \xrightarrow[\text{ copper tube }]{200^{\circ} C} 2 CH_3 OH(g) $

Acetic acid is manufactured by the oxidation of fermented liquors ( $10-15 %$ alcohol) in air along with the presence of mycoderma aceti. A $3-7 %$ solution of acetic acid is obtained and it is called vinegar.

$ C_2 H_5 OH+O_2 \longrightarrow CH_3 COOH+H_2 O $

Addition Reaction :

The reactions in which two molecules react to form a single product are called addition reactions.

Consider some alkene and a second molecule $A_2$ or $A-B$ (e.g. $H_2$ or $HCl$ ). An addition reaction occurs when the A-B bond breaks and $A$ adds to one end of the double bond and $B$ adds to the other end. When this happens the double bond becomes a single bond. Shown pictorially:

For some molecules this happens quite readily. For example, simply adding either molecular chlorine $(Cl_2)$ or bromine $(Br_2)$ to an alkene results in the rapid addition to form the dihalogenated product.

alt text

Likewise $HCl, HBr$, and $H_2 SO_4(H-HSO_4)$ add rapidly across double bonds.

The addition of hydragen (hydragenation) to a dauble band usually requires a catalyst. Nickel is usually chasen because it is bath effective and inexpensive

For example hydragenation of vegetable oil using a Ni catalyst. You have seen advertisements stating uegetable ails are ‘healthy’ as they contain long unsaturated carban chains. Oils containing unsaturated fatty acids are choosen for cooking. Whereas animal fats generally contain saturated fatty acids carbon chain’ which are said to be harmful for health.

The products of addition reactions are relatively simple to predict when the alkene is symmetrical (the same number of hydrogens are attached to both ends of the double bond) or when the addition product is of the $A_2$ type. But for A-B molecules adding to unsymmetrical double bonds some care is required. Consider the examples just given. Since in the last example we are adding two chlorine atoms across the double bond it doesn’t matter which goes where because the result is the same. This is also true for $Br_2$. But what about $H-Cl$ ? The reaction could place the $Cl$ in either the 1 or 2 position. Is either preferred or is it a $50 / 50 mix$ ?

We use Markovnikov’s rule as a guide in these situations. This empirical rule based on many observations tells us that when adding a reagent of the type $H-A$ to an unsymmetrical alkene, the hydrogen always binds to the carbon that starts off with more hydrogen atoms.

You will not encounter any exceptions to this rule in this class.

Water adds across double bonds just like the other unsymmetrical addition reagents, but unlike the others it may require forcing conditions (e.g. heat, pressure). To make an alcohol by addition of water to an alkene, the reaction requires a catalyst (usually an acid) and in many cases significant heat.

$ H_2 C=CH_2+H_2 O \xrightarrow[240^{\circ} C]{\stackrel{\prime}{H^{+}}} CH_3 CH_2 OH $

CHECK Point

~~

  • Write the product of following reaction on the basis of Markovnikov’s addition

$ R-CH_2-\underset{H}{C}=CH_2+H-B \longrightarrow $

~~ SOLUTION

On the basis of Markovniv’s rule reagent of type H-B to an unsymmetrical alkene, the hydrogen atom always binds to carbon atom with more hydrogen atom.

alt text

Substitution reaction :

The reactions in which an atom or group of atoms in a molecule is replaced or substituted by different atoms or group of atoms are called substitution reaction. For example,

$Ch_4 + Cl_2 \longrightarrow \underset {\text{H replaced by Cl}}{Ch_3 Cl + HCL}$

$CH_3 CH_2 I + \underset {\text{I replaced by OH}}{KOH(aq)} \longrightarrow CH_3 CH_2 OH$

In substitution reactions the hydrogen of the alkane molecule is replaced by another atom or a group of atoms (like alkyl) resulting in the formation of the derivatives of that hydrocarbon. Substitution by halogen atom is generally called halogenation. This type of substitution results in chlorination, bromination or iodination.

Like methane, ethane also forms a series of substitution products in the presence of excess chlorine and sunlight.

$ \underset{\text{ Ethane }}{C_2 H_6}+Cl_2 \xrightarrow{\text{ uv light }} \underset{\text{ Chlorecthane }}{C_2 H_5 Cl}+HCl $

Classification of Organic Compounds :

1. Acyclic or open chain compounds :

Are those compounds in which first & last carbon atoms are not connected with each other. Branched or unbranched chains are possible in these compounds.

For example:

alt text

There are two varieties in these compounds :

2. Cyclic or closed chain compounds :

These are the compounds in which carbon atoms are linked to each other or to the atoms of other elements in such a manner that the molecule has a closed-chain or cyclic or ring structure. One or more closed chains or rings may be present in the molecule. The compounds with only one ring of atoms in the molecule are known as monocyclic but those with more than one ring of atoms are termed as polycyclic. These are further divided into two subgroups (i) Homocyclic or carbocyclic, (ii) Heterocyclic.

(i) Homocyclic compound:

These are the compounds in which the complete ring is formed by carbon atoms only. These are also of two types :

(a) Alicyclic compounds :

These are the compounds having the properties like aliphatic compounds. These may be saturated or unsaturated like aliphatic compounds.

(Cyclopropane)

(Cyclopropene)

(Cyclobutene)

(b) Aromatic compounds:

These compounds consist of at least one benzene ring i.e., a six-membered carbocyclic ring having alternate single and double bonds. These compounds have some fragrant odour and hence, named as aromatic (greek word aroma means sweet smell).

Styrene

These compounds are alsa called benzenoid compaunds and they exhibit special property known as aramaticity

Aromatic compounds now include a much wider class of compounds, not necessarily very sweet smelling ones. A more appropriate modern day definition of aromatic compounds is “Compounds which have a sustained ring current.” Infact, you will find non-benzenoid aromatics as well, the aromatic compounds without a benzene ring!

Examples of non-benzenoid aromatics include beautiful blue-colored azulene and trophylium bromide.

(ii) Heterocyclic compounds These are cyclic compounds having ring or rings built up of more than one kind of atoms. Heterocyclic rings can also be aromatic.

Divide these compounds into three catefories of allcyclic, aromatic and herterocyclic compounds.

The above classification of organic compounds is based upon the basic skeleton of carbon atom. All the above classes may further be classified into several classes depending upon the nature of the functional group.

FUNCTIONAL GROUPS:

In organic chemistry, functional groups (or moieties) are specific groups of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules. The same functional group will undergo the same or similar chemical reaction(s) regardless of the size of the molecule it is a part of.

Combining the names of functional groups with the names of the parent alkanes generates a powerful systematic nomenclature for naming organic compounds.

The first carbon atom after the carbon that attaches to the functional group is called the alpha carbon. Functional groups are attached to the carbon backbone of organic molecules. They determine the characteristics and chemical reactivity of molecules. Functional groups are far less stable than the carbon backbone and are likely to participate in chemical reactions. Free valency or valencies of the group are shown by the single line. The functional group is attached to the carbon chain through this valency by replacing one hydrogen atom or atoms.

Why Mercapto (-SH) are also called thioalcohols

Solution:

It is due to resemblance with the functional group of alcohols $-OH$. The only difference is the presence of sulphur atom instead of oxygen atom that’s why thio is used before alcohols.

CHECK Point

~~

  • What is the similarity in the following pair of organic compounds $HCHO$ and $CH_3 CH_2 CHO$.

~~ SOLUTION

Both of above compounds are aldehydes as they contain - $CHO$ functional group.

Homologous series:

In chemistry; a homologous series is a series of organic compounds with a similar general formula, possessing similar chemical properties due to the presence of the same functional group, and show’s a gradation in physical properties as a result of increase in molecular size and mass (see relative molecular mass). For example, ethane has a higher boiling point than methane since it has more Van der Waals forces(intermolecular forces) with neighbouring molecules. This is due to the increase in the number of atoms making up the molecule.

  • Organic campounds in the same hemolegous series vary by a $CH_2$. alkanes (paraffins), alkenes (alefins), methaxycthane (ethers), and alkynes (acetylenes) form such series in which member differ in mass by 14 atemic mass units. Far example, the alkane hemologeus series begins with methane $(CH_4)$, ethane $(C_2 H_6)$, prepane $(C_3 H_8)$, kutane $(C_4 H _{10})$, and pentane $(C_5 H _{12})$, each member differing frem the previeus ane by a $CH_2$ greup (er 14 atemic mass units).
  • A Hemalogation reaction is any chemical process centerting ane member of a hemelogues series the the

next.

Similarly in alcohol homologous series starts with methanol $(CH_4 O)$, ethanol $(C_2 H_6 O)$, as primary alcohols, isopropanol $(C_3 H_8 O)$ as a simple secondary alcohol, and a simple tertiary alcohol is tert-butanol $(C_4 H _{10} O)$.

Even while the general formula are the same, they have different structures that can lead the exact same compound to different properties, although they will always exhibit the same chemical properties while as a homologous compound.

Compounds in each set have the same little group of atoms called the functional group. Most chemical properties of organic compounds are due to the presence of the functional group.

Homologous series General formula Example Functional group
Straight Chain Alkanes $C_n H _{2 n+2}$ ( $n$ more than or equal to 1 ) $CH_4 n=1$
Alkyl $C_n H _{2 n-1}$ (n more than or equal to 1 ) $CH_3, n=1$
Alkenes and Cyclic Alkanes $C_n H _{2 a}$ (n more than or equal to 2 ) $C_2 H_4, n=2$ $C=C$
Alkynes $C_n H _{2 n-2}$ ( $n$ more than or equal to 2 ) $C_2 H_2, n=2$ $C=C$
Alcohols $C_n H _{2 n+1} OH$ ( $n$ more than or equal to 1 ) $CH_4 O, n=1$ $-OH$
Carboxylic acids $C_n H _{2 n} O_2$ (n more than or equal to 1 ) $CH_2 O_2, n=1$ $-COOH$
Carbohydrates $C_n(H_2 O) _{n}(n$ more than or equal to $l)$ $C_6 H_1: O_0 n=6$ $-CHO . OH$

Where $n$ represents the number of carbon atoms present.

LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS:

Structure of Buckministerfullerene

~~

  1. Fullerenes contain 60 carbon atoms arranged in a round molecule resembling a soccer ball. C60 molecule has marvelously symmetrical structure. C60 molecule is a fusedring of aromatic system containing 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons of $C$ atoms. The structure bends around and closes to form a soccer ball shaped molecule. It is therefore, called buckyball also. The five numbered rings are connected to six numbered rings while the six numbered rings are fused to both five and six numbered rings. Kullerenes were first prepared by the evaporation of graphite using a loser. These can be conveniently made by heating graphite in an electric arc in the presence of helium or orgon. Fullerene looks different from diamond and graphite. It is a yellow powdery substance and are soluble in organic solvents and form coloured solutions. It turns pink on dissolution in solvents like toluene. It polymerizes on exposure to U.V. radiations. Fullerenes are fascinating because they show unusual characteristics and applications like: They are wonderful lubricants because the balls can roll between the surfaces.

~~ 2. These differences in the properties of diamond and graphite are due to the difference in their structures. In diamond, each $C$ atom is linked to its neighbours by four single covalent bonds. This leads to a three-dimensional network of covalent bonds. In graphite, the carbon atoms are arranged in flat parallel layers as regular hexagons. Each carbon in these layers is bonded to three others by covalen bonds. Graphite thus acquires some double bond character. Each layer is bonded to adjacent layers by weak van der Waals forces. Moreover one electron is free at each carbon atom. This allows each layer to slide over the other easily, Due to this type of structure graphite is soft and slippery, and can act as a lubricant. Graphite is also a good conductor of electricity due to mobile electrons in it.

  1. This is due to the following reasons :

(i) The number of known organic compounds is very large.

(ii) Organic compounds involve only a few elements $C, H$ $O, N, S, P, X(Cl, Br, I)$

As we know that due to unique property of catenation carbon forms a large number of straight chain, branched chain and ring compounds with hydrogen called hydrocarbons. Moreover increasingly large number of organic compounds identified with a each passing day, requires that a systematic nomenclature system need to be developed. Initially common names were given to few compounds for example Methane $(CH_4)$, Acetone $(CH_3 COCH_3)$, Toluene $(CH_3 C_6 H_5)$, Acetylene $(C_2 H_2)$ etc. The system of nomenclature was first introduced in 1947 by International Union of pure and Applied Chemistry called IUPAC system of naming and was modified from time to time. The IUPAC system provides a unique name for each of the nearly 10 million known organic compounds, as well as the thousands of new compounds discovered or synthesized each year. The IUPAC rules are simple to learn and easy to use. With these rules you can readily write the name of any compound you might encounter or can derive the structure of any given compound from its name. Scientist adopted the IUPAC system of nomenclature for several reasons. First, scientist everywhere understand it. Second, they can readily adapt it to the indexing methods used for the chemical literature. Third, they can easily use it for computerized literature searching operations. We will learn common names (Trivial system), derived system before learning IUPAC

COMMON NAMES(TRIVIAL SYSTEM):

Initialy organic compounds are named on the basis of source from which they were obtained. For eg.

Some typical compounds in which common & trivial names are also differ.

DERIVED SYSTEM :

According to this system any compound is given name according to the parent name of the homologous series. This system is reserved for the following nine homologous series.

IUPAC NOMENCLATURE:

In order to solve the problem of naming of organic compounds, an organisation called international chemical congress for the first time met at Geneva in 1892. They developed a certain system called Geneva system. Since then the system of naming has been improved from time to time by the International union of pure and Applied chemistry and the new system is called IUPAC system of naming. This system of nomenclature was introduced in 1947. The latest IUPAC system is based on the recommendation made in 1993.

IUPAC system of nomenclature of Aliphatic compounds

According to IUPAC system, the name of an organic compound consists of three parts :

(i) Word root

(ii) Suffix

(iii) Prefix

Fram $C_1$ ta $C_4$ common names have been retained and from $C_5$ upwards Greek number roats have been used.

(i) Word root

Word root denotes the number of carbon atoms present in the principal chain which is the longest possible chain of carbon atoms.

Chain length Word root Chain length Word root
$C_1$ Meth- $C_7$ Hept-
$C_2$ Eth- $C_8$ Oct-
$C_3$ Prop- $C_9$ Non-
$C_4$ But- $C _{10}$ Dec-
$C_5$ Pent- $C _{11}$ Undec-
$C_6$ Hex- $C _{12}$ Dodec

(ii) Suffix

Suffixes are of two types. Primary and Secondary suffixes.

(a) Primary suffix

A primary suffix indicates the type of linkage in the carbon atoms. If the carbon atoms are linked by single covalent bonds, the primary suffix is ‘ane’. If these are linked by double and triple bonds, the primary suffixes ’ene’ and ‘yne’ are respectively used to represent them. Thus,

ane : primary suffix for $C-C$ bond

ene : primary suffix for $C=C$ bond

yne : primary suffix for $C \equiv C$ bond

If the parent chain of carbon atoms contains more than one double or triple bonds, numerical prefixes like di (for two), tri (for three), tetra (for four) etc. are added to primary suffix.

Example-

Hydrocarbon Word root Primary suffix
$CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3$ But ane
$CH_2=CH-CH=CH_2$ Buta diene
$CH_3-C \equiv CH$ Prop yne

(b) Secondary suffix

A secondary suffix is used to represent the functional group if present in organic molecule and is attached to the primary suffix while writing its IUPAC name. Secondary suffixes of some of the functional groups are listed :-

Groups given below does not have any Suffix

Ether $-OR$ alkoxy
Epoxide $-O-$ epoxy
Azo $-N=N-$ azo
Nitroso $-NO$ nitroso
Halogen $-X(F, Cl, Br, I)$ halo

While adding a secondary suffixto the primary ouffix, the terminal ’ $e$ ’ of the primary suffix(ane, ene ar yne) is dropped if the secandary suffixbegins with ’ $a$ ‘, ’ $i$ ’ $o$ ’ ’ $u$ ’ or ’ $y$ ‘. In case, it Regins with consonant, then the terminal ’ $e$ ’ of the primary suffixis retained.

Organic compounds Word root Primary suffix Secondary suffix IUPAC name
$CH_3 CH_2 OH$ Eth an (e) ol Ethanol
$CH_3 CH_2 CHO$ prop ane (e) al Propanal
$CH_3 CH_2 CH_2 NH_2$ prop ane (e) amine Propanamine
$CH_3 CH_2 CN$ prop ane (e) nitrile Propanamine

CHECK Point

~~

  • What is the IUPAC name of the following compound? $CH_3 CH_2 CH_2 COOH$

~~ SOLUTION

But ane(e) oic acid Butanoic acid

(iii) Prefix

Prefix is a part of IUPAC name which appear before the word root. Prefixes are of two types.

(a) Primary prefix

A primary prefix “cyclo” is used in order to differentiate a cyclic compound from an acyclic compound. For example

alt text

Propane and butane are the IUPAC names of acyclic compounds while cyclopropane and cyclobutane are for cyclic compounds.

CHECK Point

~~ What is the IUPAC name of the following compound?

~~ SOLUTION

Primary prefix word root hex Primary suffix ane

Cyclo Secondary suffix

Thus the IUPAC name of the compound is cyclo hexane

(b) Secondary prefix

In the IUPAC system of nomenclature, certain characteristic groups are not considered as or secondary suffixes. These are regarded as substituents and are denoted by secondary prefixes. The secondary prefixes of a few substituents are given -

Substituent group Secondary prefix Substituent group Secondary prefix
$-F$ Fluoro $-NO_2$ Nitro
$-Cl$ Chloro $-CH_3$ Methyl
$-Br$ Bromo $-C_2 H_5$ Ethyl
$-I$ Iodo $-OCH_3$ Methoxy
$-NO$ Nitroso $-OC_2 H_5$ Ethoxy

Secandary prefix are added befare the ward raat in case of acyclic campaunds and before the primary prefix in case of cyclic compounds in alphabetical arder.

RULES FOR IUPAC NOMENCLATURE OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS :

below.molecule according to IUPAC system. These rules are illustrated

  1. Longest chain rule : The first step for naming an organic compound is to select the longest continuous chain of carbon led the parent chain or main chain, and other carbon chains attached to it are known as side chains. On the basis of the number of carbon atoms present in the parent chain, the parent hydrocarbon is determined. For example, if the parent chain contains six carbon atoms, the compound is considered to be a derivative of hexane.

Example : The structure I has the longest chain of six carbon atoms present in a straight line; therefore it is said to be a derivative of hexane. On the other hand, in structutre II the straight chain has only four or three carbon atoms while the longest possible chain may have as many as six carbon atoms (zig-zag chain).

$ \begin{gathered} \text{ I } \\ \text{ (Longest chain, straight) } \end{gathered} $

(Longest chain, zig-zig)

Therefore, both the structures are the derivatives of hexane.

In case a molecule contains two equally long carbon chains, the one carrying larger number of side chains is selected. For example, structures A and B have carbon chains of equal lengths $(C_7)$, but the one carrying three substituents is selected.

(A)

Straight parent chain of $C$ with three side chains (correct)

(B)

Zig-zag parent chain of $C$,

with only one side chains (incorrect)

CHECKPoint

Which of the following arrangement of selecting parent chain is correct

alt text

SOLUTION

Arrangement B is correct with straight chain containing 7 carbons as it contains more number of side chains

  1. Lowest number or lowest sum rule : The carbon atom of longest carbon chain is numbered as $1,2,3,4, \ldots \ldots .$. etc., starting from the end that gives the lowest possible number to the substituent. For example, in structures A and B numbering may be done in two ways;

In one case (A), the substituent is assigned position 3 while in other case (B), it is assigned position 4 . Hence the former, being smaller, is correct. The number that locates the position of a substituent is known as locant. Thus the locant for $X$ in the above correct structure is 3 .

In case, the parent chain has two or more substituents, numbering must be done in such a way that the sum of the locants on the parent chain is the lowest possible. Thus in following structures A and B numbering may be done in two ways: in one (A), the sum of locants is 9 while in other (B), it is 12 , hence the former is correct while the latter is wrong.

alt text

CHECK Point

~~

  • Which of the following way of numbering of carbon atoms of parent chain is correct according to lowest sum.

alt text

~~ Solution

Sum of the locants $=3+4=7$ Set of locants $=3,4$

Sum of the locants $=4+5=9$ Set of locants $=4,5$

Thus, according to the lowest sum rule, the numbering of the carbon chain should be done from right to left but according to the lowest set of locants rule, the numbering should be done from left to right. To overcome such an ambiguity, the IUPAC nomenclature recommends that the lowest set of locants rule should be preferred over the lowest sum rule.

  1. Name of the complex alkane : The name of the substituent is prefixed to the name of the parent hydrocarbon and its position on the main chain is indicated by writing the locant before the prefix. A hypen (-) is inserted between the locant and the substituent name. The final name is always written as one word. Thus the following compound is written as 2 -methylpentane.

  1. Alphabetical order of side chains : In case two or more alkyl groups (side-chains) are attached to the parent chain, these are pretixed in alphabetic order, e.g.,

In case the same alkyl group occurs twice on the same carbon atom, its locant is also repeated twice. For example,

  1. Naming the complex substituent: In case the substituent on the parent chain is complex (I,e., It has ltself branched chain) then it is named as a substituted alkyl group and its carbon chain is numbered from the carbon atom attached to the main chain. The name of this complex substituent is written in bracket to avoid confusion with the numbers of the main chain. e.g.,

NOMENCLATURE OF DIFFERENT CLASSES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS :

The names of various homologous series and their simple members are given below.

  1. Alkanes or Paraffins (Saturated hydrocarbons) : These are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen. The various carbon atoms present in the molecule are linked by single covalent bonds ( $C-C$ ). These are represented by the general formula $C_n H _{2 n+2}$. The IUPAC name for this homologous series is alkanes and the names of all alkanes will be ending with the suffix - ane. The common and IUPAC names for the first few members are identical.

Certain prefixes commonly used in common system of nomenclature are given below.

  1. Prefix $n$ (normal) is used to indicate where the carbon chain is straight, i.e., when there is no branching. For example,

$ \underset{n \text{-Butane }}{CH_3 CH_2 CH_2 CH_3} \quad\underset{n \text{-Butyl }}{CH_3 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2}- \quad \underset{n \text{-Pentane }}{CH_3 CH_2 CH_2 CH_2 CH_3} $

IUPAC names are derived by adding the suffix -triol to the name of the corresponding alkane and indicating the positions of the $-OH$ groups by numerals. In case the compound contains more than three hydroxyl groups, it is known as polyhydric alcohol. In IUPAC system these are named by putting a suffix polyol after the name of the parent hydrocarbon. For example,

Formula Common name IUPAC name
$CH_2 OH \cdot CHOH \cdot CH_2 OH$ Glycerol Propane-1, 2,3-triol
$CH_2 OH \cdot(CHOH)_4 \cdot CH_2 OH$ Sorbitol Hexane-1, 2, 3-hexol
  1. Ethers: These are derived from alkanes by the replacement of one hydrogen atom by an alkoxy group (-OR), thus the gencral formula for ethers becomes $R-O-R$.

When the alkyl groups are same, the ether is called as simple ether; and when they ave different, it is owthed mixed ether. Shus

$ \begin{matrix} \text{ General formula : } \begin{matrix} R-0-R \\ \text{ Simple ether } \end{matrix} & \begin{matrix} R-O-R^{\prime} \\ \text{ Mixed ether } \end{matrix} \end{matrix} $

The ether with same alkyl group are called symmetrical ether whereas the others containing different n(fyl yromp no called unsymmetrical ether.

Characterstic group : $-O-$

The IUPAC (systematic) name for ethers is alkoxyalkanes.

Rules for Nomenclature of poly functional organic compounds

  1. If the organic compound contains two or more functional groups, one of the group is selected as principal functional group containing longest possible chain of carbon atom and all the remaining functional groups are treated as substituents.

Order of preferance used while selecting the principal functional group

Carboxylic acids > Sulphonic acids > anhydrides > esters > acid chlorides > acid amides > nitriles > aldehydes > cyanides $>$ isocyanides $>$ ketones > alcohols $>$ phenols > thiols > amines > ethers > alkenes > alkynes.

  1. Select the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms containing the principal functional group and maximum number of secondary functional groups and multiple bonds.

  2. Number the principal chain in such a way that the principal functlonal group gets the lowest locant followed by double bond, triple bond and the substituents.

ISOMERISM:

In the study of organic chemistry we come across many cases when two or more compounds are made of equal number of like atoms. A molecular formula does not tell the nature of organic compound, sometimes several organic compounds may have same molecular formula. These compounds possess the same molecular formula but differ from each other in physical or chemical properties, are called isomers and the phenomenon is termed isomerism proposed by Berzelius (Greek, isos = equal ; meros= parts). Since isomers have the same molecular formula, the difference in their properties must be due to different modes of the combination of arrangement of atoms within the molecule. Broadly speaking, isomerism is of two types. (i) Structural Isomerism (ii) Stereoisomerism

Types of Isomerism

The following figure shows the pictorial representation of different types of isomerism

Structural isomerism (constitutional isomerism)

Structural isomers possess the same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms or groups within the molecules. The phenomenon is called structural isomerism.

The term canstitutional isamerism is a mare madern term of structural isomerism. It arises because of the difference in the sequence of covalently banded atoms in the molecyle without reference ta space.

e.g., The oxygen in ethanol is bonded to a carbon and to a hydrogen while the oxygen in dimethyl ether is bonded to two carbon $CH_3-CH_2-O-H, CH_3-O-CH_3$ though these compounds have same molecular formula $C_2 H_6 O$.

Types of structural isomerism :

  1. Chain/Nuclear/Skeleton isomerism

This type of isomerism arises from the difference in the structure of carbon chain which forms the nucleus of the molecule. This type of compounds have same molecular formula but different arrangement of carbon chain.

Ex $C_4 H _{10}: CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3$ and n-Butane

alt text

alt text

Chain isomers have somewhat different physical and chemical properties, $n$-butane boiling at $-0.5^{\circ} C$ and isobutane at $-10.2^{\circ} C$.

  • Chain isamerism is abserved when the number of carban atams is four ar mare than four in an arganic compounds. Chain isomers differ in the nature of carban chain, i.e., in the length of the carban chain.
  • The isamers showing chain isamerism belang ta the same hamalogous series, i.e., functional group, class of the compound (cyclic ar apen) remains unchanged.
  1. Position Isomerism

It is the type of isomerism in which the compounds possessing same molecular formula differ in their properties due to the difference in the position of either the functional group or the multiple bond or the branched chain attached to the main carbon chain. For example:

alt text

  • aldehydes, carboxylic acids (and their derivatives) and cyanides do nat exfilit pasitional isamerism.
  • Chain and pasitional isamerism cannat be passible tagether between twa isameric compounds. If twa campounds are chain isomers then these twa will nat be pasitional isamers.

(C) Functional Isomerism : If the molecules hqve the same molecular formula but differ in the type of the functional group, then it is known as functional group isomerism.

The following pairs of families show this isamerism. (i) Monohydric alcahol and ether

(ii) aldehyde and ketone

(iii) acid and ester

(iv) Cyanide and isacyanide

(v) nitroalkane and alkyl nitrite

(vi) Oxime, amide and many more

(v) Tautomerism : This is a special type of functional isomerism in which the isomers differ in the arrangement of atoms but they exist in eynamic equilibrium with each other. For example, acetaldehde and vinyl alcohol are tautomers.

Stereoisomerism was exhibit by compounds which have same structural formula and sequence of bonds but differ in the relative positions of atoms or groups of atoms in space. It is majorly of two types

  1. Geometrical isomerism

  2. Optical ismorism

Geometrical isomerism also called cis trans isomerism is exhibited by alkenes because of the presence of double bond. This is due to the restricted rotation around carbon-carbon double bond. As a result, the position of the groups attached to these carbons is fixed in space. Here cis-isomer have identical group on either side whereas in trans-isomer identical groups are at opposite side of $C=C$.

Optical isomerism is shown by substances which can rotate the plane of polarised light For example this type of isomerism is shown by amino acid alanine. Note : You will study about stereoisomerism in detail in higher classes.

  1. The compound, $C_2 H_5-CH(CH_3)-CH_2-CH(CH_3)_2$ may be written as alt text

The main carbon chain consists of six carbon atoms and hence the parent alkane is hexane. The numbering is done from the right end of the chain. The two methyl groups are attached to the main chain at carbon number 2 and 4 . Thus, the name of the compound is, 2,4 dimethylhexane.

~~

  1. The longest chain contains 8 carbons. So, the parent alkane is octane. Numbering of the chain is done from the end nearer to the carbon having double bond. Thus,

$ { }^{1} CH_3-{ }^{2} CH={ }^{3} CH- _C^{4} H_2-{ }^{5} C \equiv{ }^{6} C-{ }^{7} C_2-{ }^{8} CH_3 . $

The compound contains one double and one triple bond. So, the suffix would contain both the suffixes ene and yne. Indicating their positions in the chain, the suffix is 2-en-5yne. So, the molecule is named as, oct-2-en-5-yne.

CHART BASED QUESTIONS :

As you have studied in previous chapters about large number of organic compounds and their nomenclature. These organic compounds has wide application in our routine life. Organic compounds are used in manufacturing of substances like drugs, plastics, rubber, clothes, dyes, cosmetics, cooking oil, ghee etc.

It was previously believed that organic compound can be derived from living organism thus organic compounds play a vital role in the proper functioning of body mechanism of all living organism also.

The simplest organic compounds are hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are compounds formed by the combination of carbon and hydrogen only. Petrol, diesel, kerosene, liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and condensed natural gas (CNG) etc. are all hydrocarbons or are their mixtures. All organic compounds can be considered as the derivatives of hydrocarbons, obtained by substituting hydrogen with an appropriate functional group.

Hydrocarbon are broadly classified as

There are many other classes of organic compounds. Compounds containing oxygen in its functional group like alcohols, ethers, ketones, aldehydes and carboxylic acid. Compounds containing halogen in his functional group like alkyl halide, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride. All compounds with these functional groups also have wide applications. In this chapter we will going to discuss the general chemistry of all these compounds.

ALKANES:

Alkanes or saturated hydrocarbons are those in which all the four valancies of carbon atom(s) are satisfied by four atoms or groups i.e. the carbon valencies are fully satisfied. These compound contain only $C-C$ and $C-H$ types of covalent bonds. Since they are relatively inert towards most of the chemical reagent under ordinary conditions, they are called Paraffins (latin-parum, little; affinis-affinity). The IUPAC name for these compounds is alkanes. Their general formula is $C_n H _{2 n+2}$. Alkanes are quite stable compound and gives substitution reaction while alkenes and alkynes are more reactive and give addition reactions.

General Methods of Preparation of Alkanes :

(i) From Carboxylic acids:

(a) By de-carboxylation of sodium salt of fatty acid :-

Since the - $COOH$ present in the original acid is removed in the process (in the form of carbonate), the reaction is commonly known as decarboxylation.

The reaction is employed for stepping down a homologous series.

(b) Kolbe’s electrolytic synthesis :

Methane cannot be prepared by this method.

$ 2 RCOONa+2 H_2 O \xrightarrow{\text{ Electrolysis }} R-R+2 CO_2+H_2+2 NaOH $

The side products are olefins, alcohols (particularly in alkaline solution) and esters.

Presence of alkyl groups in $\alpha$-position decreases the yield of alkane.

Kalbe’s electrolysis method can be used ta prepare alkanes only with even number of carbon atoms and not alkanes with add number of carbon atoms.

(ii) Reduction of Alkyl Halides :

$ \underset{\text{ Alkyl halide }}{R-X \xrightarrow{\text{ Reductant }} Alkane} R-H+HX $

Reductants : $Zn-Cu$ couple/EtOH, $Na-EtOH, Zn-HCl, Pt$ or $Pd$ or $Ni / H_2, Al-Hg / EtOH, LiAlH_4$ etc. e.g. : $CH_3 I+Zn-Cu /$ alcohol $arrow CH_4+H-I$

$ RBr+2 HI \xrightarrow[\Delta]{Red P} R-H+HBr+I_2 $

She purpase of red phasphaious is ta remaue iadine. It cambines with iadine farming phas pharus triiadide $(pI_3)$. Sherefare, it makes the reaction to proceed in the farward direction. $I_f I_2$ is nat removed, it will convert back alkane inta alkyl halide.

$ 2 P+I_2 \longrightarrow 2 PI_3 $

(iii) Wurtz Reaction : When an alkyl halide (usually bromide or iodide) is treated with sodium in dry ether, a symmetrical alkane containing twice the number of carbon atoms of alkyl halide is obtained.

e.g.

$ \begin{matrix} R-Br+2 Na+Br-R & \underset{\text{ Dry Ether }}{\Delta} R-R+2 NaBr \\ \text{ Alkane } \\ CH_3-I+2 Na+I-CH_3 \xrightarrow[\text{ Ether }]{\Delta, \text{ Dry }} CH_3-CH_3+2 NaI \\ \text{ Methyl iodide } & \text{ Ethane } \end{matrix} $

Methane cannot be prepared by this method.

When the two reacting alkyl halides are different, a mixture of thee diffenent alkenes is obrained. This is becauce the two different alkyl halides not only react with each ocher but they react amongst themselves also the wurtz reaction is not useful for preparing unsymmetrical alkanes. For e.g.

Wurtz reaction can not be used to prepare pure alcanes with odd number of carbon atoms because it is difficult to separate the mixture obtained

ILLUSTRATION - 1

What is the product we obtained when propyl iodide is beated in presence of dry ether?

Solution:

Hexane is obtained as a major product by wurtz reaction.

(iv) From Alkenes and Alkynes : (Sabatier Senderen’s Reaction) :

$ \begin{aligned} & R-CH=CH-R^{\prime}+H_2 \underset{Ni / 300^{\circ}}{H_2} R-CH_2-CH_2-R^{\prime} \\ & \text{ Olefin } \\ & R-C \equiv C-R^{\prime}+2 H_2 \frac{\text{ Alcane }}{\stackrel{H_2}{Ni / 300^{\circ}}} R-CH_2-CH_2-R^{\prime} \end{aligned} $

When the catalyst are $Pt$ or $Pd$, the hydrogenation proceds smoothly at ordinary temperature and pressure.

With Nickel catalyst, higher temperature $(250^{\circ}-300^{\circ} C)$ and pressure are needed. The hydrogenation reaction of unsaturated hydrocarbons using nickel at a temperature of 523-573 $K$ is commonly lnown as sebatier and senderen’s reaction or reduction. "

With Raney Nickel, the reaction takes place at room temperature.

$Ni / Al+NaOH \longrightarrow$ mixture of Ni (Raney Nickel)

Physical Properties of Alkane :

(i) Alkanes from $C_1-C_4$ are colourless, odourless gases. $C_5-C _{17}$ are colourless liquids, $C _{18}$ - onwards are waxy, white solids.

(ii) Boiling points :- Boiling points of alkanes are the lowest of all the groups of organic compounds. The forces of attraction among the alkane molecules are the weakest vander Waal’s forces of attraction. With the increase in the number of carbon chain length (molecular size), the magnitude of vander waals forces also increases.

Among isomeric alkanes, the boiling point decreases with increasing branching.

Example n-Pentane $>$ iso-Pentane $>$ neo-Pentane

It is because with branching surface area of molecule decreases consequently forces of attraction which depends upon surface area decreases resulting into decrease of boiling point.

(iii) Melting point :- The melting point of alkanes do not show regular variation with increase in molecular size. Unbranched alkanes containing 2, 4, 6, 8 etc. carbon atoms have higher melting points than the unbranched alkanes containing 3, 5, 7, 9 etc. carbon atoms.

Example

n-pentane

n-hexane

(both methyl group are directed on same side) (both methyl group are adversely directed)

M.P. even no. of carbon atoms $>$ odd no. of carbon atoms

M.P. $\propto$ mol.wt. $\propto$ packing efficiency.

Jhis is because the alkanes with even number of carban atoms have mare symmetrical structures and result in closer packing in the crystal structure as compared to alkanes with add number of cartion atoms.

CHECK Point

~~

  • Out of $C_3 H_8$ and $C_4 H _{10}$ which one has high melting point?

~~ Solution

$C_4 H _{10}$ as we know that alkanes with even number of carbon atoms has higher boiling point.

(iv) Fuel capacity : Decreasing order of fuel capacity is

more branched $>$ less branched $>$ unbranched lower mol.wt. > higher mol. wt.

(v) Solubility : Alkanes are lighter than water. These are insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents.

Chemical Properties of Alkanes

  1. Substitution reactions : Reactions in which an atom or group in a compound is replaced by another atom or group is known as substitution reaction and the product formed is known as substituted product. The common substitution reactions found in aliphatic compounds are halogenation, nitration and sulphonation.

(i) Halogenation (Replacement of hydrogen atom by halogen atom). Alkanes react with halogens $(Cl_2, Br_2)$ in presence of sunlight or UV light or in dark at high temperature (523-673 K) to form the corresponding substituted product. For example,

Bromination occurs similarly but less rapidly.

lodination is carried out by heating alkane with lodine in the presence of some oxidising agent like iodic acid $(HIO_3)$ or nitric acid $(HNO_3)$ which oxidises $H$ formed during the reaction. If $H$ lis not oxidised, being a strong reducing agent, it will make the reaction reveisible in nature.

Fluorination of alkanes takes place explosivoly resulting even in the rupture of $C-C$ bond in higher alkanes. The reactivity of halogenation is, therefore, (ii) Nitration : This involves the replacement of a hydrogen atom of alkane with $-NO_2$ group.

$ \underset{\text{ Hexane }}{C_6 H _{14}}+HNO_3 \longrightarrow \underset{\text{ Nitrohexane }}{C_6 H _{13} NO_2}+H_2 O $

(iii) Sulphonation : This involves the replacement of a hydrogen atom of alkane by $-SO_3 H$ group.

$ \underset{\text{ Hexane }}{C_6 H _{14}}+H_2 SO_4 \xrightarrow{\Delta} \underset{\text{ Hexane Sulphonic acid }}{C_6 H _{13} SO_3 H}+H_2 O $

Lawer alkanes particularly methane, ethane, etc. do not give this Sulphanation substitution reaction.

  1. Thermal decomposition, cracking or pyrolysis : The decomposition of a compound by heat is known as pyrolysis. Thermal decomposition when applied to alkanes is known as cracking and leads to the formation of lower alkanes, alkenes and hydrogen, e.g.

$ \underset{\text{ Ethene }}{CH_2=CH_2}+\underset{\text{ Methane }}{CH_4} \to \underset{\text{ Propane }}{675-875 K} \underset{\text{ Propene }}{CH_3 \cdot CH_2 CH_3} \xrightarrow{675-875 K} \underset{CH_3 CH=CH_2+H_2}{C_2} $

Note : Cracking has been used for the manufacture of petrol, petrol gas, oil gas, etc.

  1. Isomerisation : The process of conversion of one isomer of a compound to another isomer is known as isomerisation. This is achieved by heating the normal alkane with anhydrous $AlCl_3$ and $HCl$ or anhydrous $AlBr_3$ and $HBr$ under pressure of 35 atmospheres.

Isomerisation of alkanes is of great importance in petroleum industry.

$ \underset{\substack{\text{ n-hexane } \\ }}{CH_3(CH_2)_4 CH_3 \xrightarrow{\text{ anhy } AlCl_3, HCl}} $

~~ Solution

  1. Complete oxidation or combustion : Alkanes, when burnt in excess of air or oxygen, form carbon dioxide and water, e.g.

$ \begin{gathered} CH_4+2 O_2 \longrightarrow CO_2+2 H_2 O+212.8 kcal / mole \\ 2 C_2 H_6+7 O_2 \longrightarrow 4 CO_2+6 H_2 O+745.6 kcal / mole \end{gathered} $

In general,

$ C_n H _{2 n+2}+(\frac{3 n+1}{2}) O_2 \longrightarrow n CO_2+(n+1) H_2 O+\text{ heat } $

ILLUSTRATION - 2

Why hydrocarbons are used as a fuel?

Solution

It is because during their combustion, a large amount of heat is evolved for example cooking gas, which is often called L.P.G. is a mixture of propane and butane

ALKENES:

Alkenes are those unsaturated hydrocarbons which contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond in their molecules. Their general formula is $C_n H _{2 n}$ and hence they contain two hydrogen atoms less than the corresponding alkanes and hence designated as unsaturated hydrocarbon. Their general formula is $C_n H _{2 n+2}$. These are also known as olefins or olifines (olifiant $=$ oil forming) Their IUPAC name is alkenes.

The carban-carbin double band ( $C=C$ ), cammonly known as ethylenic ar alifinic band ar linkage is the characteristic group of alkenes.

METHODS OF PREPARATION OF ALKENES:

(i) From Alkane:

(a) Pyrolysis :

(b) Dehydrogenation :

e.g. $CH_3-CH_2-CH_3 \xrightarrow{-Cr_2 O_3 / Al_2 O_3} CH_3-CH=CH_2+H_2$

Propane Propene

(ii) From alkyne (Partial hydrogenation) : By partial reduction of alkynes in the presence of $Pd / CaCO_3$.

$ R-C \equiv CH+H_2 \xrightarrow{Pd / CaCO_3} RCH=CH_2 $

(iii) By dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides : When mono halide react with alcoholic $KOH$ or $NaOH$ then respective alkenes are formed along with the elimination of HX molecule this reaction is called dehydrohalogenation.

The reactivity of alkyl halide towards dehydrohalogenation follows the order $3^{\circ}>2^{\circ}>1^{\circ}$ halide Further the ease of dehydrohalogenation for different halogens is in the order Iodide $>$ Bromide $>$ Chloride

In this reaction, the hydrogen atom is eliminated from $\beta$ carbon atom (carbon atom next to the cartion to which halogen is attached). Therefore, the reaction is alsa called $\beta$-elimination reaction.

CHECK Point

~~

  • Complete the following reaction

~~ Solution

(iv) From alcohols : Alkenes are prepared from alcohols by heating with protonic acids such as sulphuric acid or phosphoric acid at about $443 K$. This reaction is called dehydration of alcohols.

$ \underset{\text{ Ethyl alcohol }}{CH_3 CH_2 OH}-\frac{H_2 SO_4 \text{ or } H_3 PO_4}{443 K} \underset{\text{ Ethene }}{CH_2}=CH_2+H_2 O $

atom.

This reaction is also an example of $\beta$-elimination reaction because $-OH$ group takes out one hydrogen atom from the $\beta$-cartoo

Dehydration of unsymmetrical secondary or tertiary alcohols leads to the formation of two different akenes. For example, dehydration of butanol-2 gives 2-burene and 1-butene.

In such cases, dehydration is governed by Saytzeff’s rule according to which hydrogen is preferentially ellminated from the carbon atom with fewer number of hydrogen atoms, i.e., “poor becomes poorer”. Thus 2 -buteve is the main product in the above example.

In other words, Saytzeff rule states that greater the number of alkyl groups attached to the dowbyy bexwded carton atoms, the more stable is the alkene; and hence more’s its ease of formation. Thus the ease of formation of aklenes is :

$ R_2 C=CR_2>R_2 C=CHR>R_2 C=CH_2, RCH=CHR>RCH=CH_2 $

Physical Properties of Alkene :

(i) From $C_2-C_4$ they are colourless, odourless gases, from $C_5-C _{17}$ they are colourless liquids, $C _{18}$ onvants altenes are solitis Ethylene $C_2 H_4$ is a sweet smelling gas. It produces anaesthesia on smelling in large amtounts. (ii) Alkenes are practically insoluble in water. They dissolve freely in organic solvents like benzene, ehloroform, $CCC_4$, petroleum ether., etc. (iii) The boiling and melting points of alkenes are slightly higher than the corresponding alkanes. The branched chain alkenes, however, have lower boiling points than the corresponding straight chain alkenes. Alkenes are therefore, lesser volatile than the corresponding alkanes.

Their boiling points, melting points and specific gravities rise with the increase of molecular weight.

The boiling paints of alkenes show a regular gradation with the increase in number of carbon atam like alkanes. In general, far each added $-CH_2$ group the boiling paint rises by $20-30^{\circ} C$.

The increase in branching in carbon chain decreases the boiling point among isomeric alkenes.

  • Which out of two ethylene and butylene have higher boiling point?

~~ Solution

Chemical Properties of Alkene :

  1. Addition reactions : Reactions in which an atoms or group of atom are added to a molecule (i.e., there is simply a net gain of the reagent atoms in product molecule) are called addition reactions. The important examples of addition reactions are summarised below.

(i) Addition of hydrogen (Catalytic hydrogenation, hydrogenation in presence of catalyst). Hydrogen adds to unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes, and alkynes) in presence of metallic catalyst, such as finely divided platinum, palladium or nickel and forms the corresponding alkane. For example,

$ \underset{\text{ Ethene }}{H_2 C=CH_2}+H_2 \xrightarrow[473-573 K]{Ni} \underset{\text{ Ethane }}{H_3 C-CH_3} $

(ii) Addition of halogens : When an alkene is treated at room temperature with chlorine or bromine in an inert solvent (usually chloroform or carbon tetrachloride), the halogen adds rapidly to the double bond of the alkene and produces 2 vicinal dihalide.

$ R-\underset{\text{ Alkene }}{CH=CH_2+Br_2 \xrightarrow{CCl_4} \underset{\text{ Vicinal dibromide }}{Br}-\underset{1}{CH}-\underset{1}{C} CH_2} $

The reaction with fluorine is explosive whereas iodine does not react under normal conditions.

In your school lab take two beakers containing bromine solution and label them $A$ and $B$. Then add vanaspatl ghee in beakers $A$ and vegetable oil in $B$ respectively. In beaker $A$ color of bromine solution remains same but in beaker $B$ color of solution gets faded up or discharged. What is the reason for this observation try to find out. Consult your friends and teacher in case of any problem.

(iii) Addition of hydrogen halides (hydrohalogenation) : Alkenes add hydrogen halides to form alkyl halides, e.g.

$ CH_2=CH_2+HX \longrightarrow CH_3 CH_2 X $

If the alkene is unsymmetrical. Then the negative part of attacking molecule joins with the carbon atom which carries lesser number of hydrogen atoms as per Markovnikov’s rule

alt text

In the presence of arganic peraxides ( $R-O-O-R)$ e.g. Genzay peraxide the reaction takes place appasite ta the Markaunikau’s rule. This is known as an anti Markaunikan’s rule or Kharasch effect

$ \underset{\text{ propene }}{CH_3-CH=CH_2}+HBr \xrightarrow{(R-O-O-R)} \underset{\text{ 1-Bromopropane }}{CH_3-CH_2-CH_2 Br} $

Only $HBr$ shows this peraxide effect nat $HF, HCl$ and $HI$ their addition accurs accarding tà Markounikou’s rule even in presence of peraxides.

(iv) Addition of hypohalous acids : Alkenes react with hypochlorous and hypobromous acids readily to form the corresponding halohydrin.

ILLUSTRATION - 3

  • Complete the following reaction

$ CH_3-CH=CH_2+HOBr \longrightarrow $

Solution:

Addition of $HOBr$ also occur according to Markovnikov’s rule. Thus reaction will be

$ \underset{\text{ Propene }}{CH_3-CH}=CH_2+HOBr \longrightarrow Ch_3 - \underset{1-Bromopropan-2-ol}{\underset{{\underset{OH}{|}}}{CH}} - CH_2Br $

  1. Polymerisation : The process in which simple molecules combine together to form large moleculy is called polymerisation; the starting simple molecule is called monomer while the larger (final product) is called a polymer. Polymers are used as plastics, rubber and several other important products. Lower alkenes and alkynes undergo polymerisation to form products of great importance.

Lower alkenes (e.g. ethene, propene etc.) readily undergo polymerisation at high temperature and pressure and in the presence of a suitable catalyst like $AlCl_3, BF_3$, etc.

$ \underset{\text{ Ethylene }}{n CH_2}=CH_2 \xrightarrow[\text{ high pressure, } O_2]{473-673 K} \underset{\text{ Polyethylene }}{(-CH_2-CH_2-) _{n}} $

  1. Ozonolysis : On the addition of ozone to an unsaturated hydrocarbon, it forms an intermediate ozonide which on further hydrolysis in the presence of zinc dust gives corresponding carbonyl compound (aldehydes and ketones). This reaction is used to identify and locate the multiple bonds in an unsaturated hydrocarbon.

When a molecule of ozone is added to ethene at room temperature it forms a compound called ethene ozonide which on hydrolysis in the presence of zinc dust gives two molecules of formaldehyde.

  • What are the products obtained by ozonolysis of 2-Methylpropene?

~~ Solution

  1. Oxidation with oxidizing agents :

(i) Oxidation with cold, neutral or alkaline $KMnO_4$ :

Alkenes are readily oxidised by cold dilute ( $1 %$ ) neutral or alkaline $KMnO_4$ solution (Baeyer’s reagent) to give glycols (1, 2-diols or vic-diols); $KMnO_4$ itself is reduced to $MnO_2$.

(ii) Oxidation with hot alkaline $KMnO_4$ solution :

Alkenes when treated with hot $KMnO_4$ solution give carboxylic acids, ketones and carbon dioxide depending upon the nature of the alkene.

$=CH_2$ (terminal alkene) group is oxidised to formic acid which on further oxidation gives $CO_2$ and $H_2 O$. For example,

$ \underset{\text{ Propene }}{CH_3-CH=CH_2} \xrightarrow[\text{ Hot } KMnO_4]{[O]} \underset{\text{ Acetic acid }}{CH_3 COOH}+CO_2+H_2 O $

  1. Oxidation with oxygen :

Alkenes, when heated with oxygen in presence of silver catalyst at $575 K$, are oxidised to epoxides. For example,

ALKYNES:

Alkynes are characterised by the presence of a triple bond between two carbon atoms i.e. $-C \equiv C-$. They contain four hydrogen atoms less than the corresponding alkane and hence correspond to the general formula $C_n H _{2 n-2}$. The first and the most important member of this series is acetylene $CH \equiv CH$ and hence these compounds are also called as acetylenes and the triple bond is usually referred to as the acetylenic linkage or acetylenic bond.

Methods of Preparation of Alkyne:

Chemical Properties of Alkynes

  1. Addition reactions : Reactions in which an atoms or group of atoms are added to a molecule (i.e., there is simply a net gain of the reagent atoms in product molecule) are called addition reactions. The important examples of addition reactions are summarised below.

(i) Addition of hydrogen (Catalytic hydrogenation, hydrogenation in presence of catalyst). Hydrogen adds to unsaturated hydrocarbons (alkenes and alkynes) in presence of metallic catalyst, such as finely divided platinum, palladium or nickel and forms the corresponding alkane. For example,

It may be noted that the hydrogenation can be contralled at the alkene stage anly. This is passible by using

a Lindlar’s catalyst which is a mixture of palladium and barium sulphate paisaned by quinoline.

Ethyl Alcohol :

Physical properties :

Ethanol is a versatile solvent, miscible in all proportions with water and many organic solvents, including acetic acid, acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform. Ethanol’s miscibility with water is in contrast to longer chain alcohols (five or more carbons), whose water solubility decreases rapidly as the number of carbons increases. The polar nature of the hydroxyl group causes ethanol to dissolve in many ionic compounds.

Ethanol and mixtures with water greater than about $50 %$ ethanal are flammable and easily ignited.

Reactions of Ethanol:

  1. Halogenation

Ethanol reacts with hydrogen halides to produce ethyl halides such as ethyl chloride and ethyl bromide:

$ CH_3 CH_2 OH+HCl \longrightarrow CH_3 CH_2 Cl+H_2 O $

This reaction requires a catalyst such as zinc chloride. Hydragen chlaride in the presence of zinc chlaride is

Bnown as Lucas reagent.

$CH_3 CH_2 OH+HBr \longrightarrow CH_3 CH_2 Br+H_2 O$

Ethyl halides can also be produced by reacting ethanol with more specialized halogenating agents, such as thionyl chloride for preparing ethyl chloride, or phosphorus tribromide for preparing ethyl bromide.

  1. Ester formation

Under acid-catalyzed conditions, ethanol reacts with carboxylic acids to produce ethyl esters and water:

Far this reaction ta produce useful yields it is necessary ta remaue water fram the reaction miature as it is farmed.

Ethanol can also form esters with inorganic acids. Diethyl sulfate and triethyl phosphate, prepared by reacting ethanol with sulfuric and phosphoric acid respectively, are both useful ethylating agents in organic synthesis. Ethyl nitrite, prepared from the reaction of ethanol with sodium nitrite and sulfuric acid, was formerly a widely-used diuretic.

  1. Oxidation :

Ethanol can be oxidized to acetaldehyde (also known as ethanal, is an organic chemical compound with the formula $CH_3 CHO$, occurs naturally in ripe fruit, coffee, and fresh bread), and further oxidized to acetic acid. This oxidation is brought about by common oxidising agent used in organic chemistry like alkaline $KMnO_4$, acidified $K_2 Cr_2 O_7$, chromic acid etc.

  1. Chlorination :

$ CH_3 CH_2 OH \xrightarrow{\text{ alk } KMnO_4} CH_3 CHO \xrightarrow{\text{ alk }} \xrightarrow{KMnO_4} CH_3 COOH $

When exposed to chlorine, ethanol is both oxidized and its carbon chlorinated to form the compound, chloral.

$ 4 Cl_2+C_2 H_5 OH \longrightarrow \underset{\text{ Chloral }}{CCl_3 CHO}+5 HCl $

  1. Combustion :

Combustion of ethanol forms carbon dioxide and water:

$ C_2 H_5 OH+3 O_2 \longrightarrow 2 CO_2+3 H_2 O $

Manufacture of Ethanol : (Industrial Scale)

Ethanol is made by fermentation of sugar or by hydration of ethene.

Ethanol preparation from fermentation of sugar

Fermentation is a process whereby an organic compound is broken into smaller molecules by enzymes such as yeast. Ethanol is prepared by fermentation of molasses. Molasses, a by product of sugar industry, has traces of sugar, which gets broken down into ethanol. The fermentation is initiated by yeast, which secretes two enzymes called invertase and zymase. These enzymes act as catalyst for converting sugar into ethanol. The reaction is exothermic and carbon dioxide is released in the process.

$ \begin{aligned} & \underset{\text{ Sucrose }}{C _{12} H _{22} O _{11}}+H_2 O \xrightarrow{\text{ Invertase }} \underset{\text{ Glucose }}{C_6 H _{12} O_6}+\underset{\text{ Fructose }}{C_6 H _{12} O_6} \\ & \underset{\text{ Slucose or fructose }}{C_6 H _{12} O_6} \xrightarrow{\text{ Ethanol }} \underset{\text{ Zymase }}{2 C_2 H_5 OH}+2 CO_2 \end{aligned} $

Molasses is heated to about 20 to $30^{\circ} C$ in an airtight container. Yeast is mixed in the molasses. The airtight container has outlets for removal of carbon dioxide released during the fermentation process. Ethanol and water vapours that are formed are collected and separated by fractional distillation.

Ethanol preparation by hydration of ethene

The molecular formula of ethene is $C_2 H_4$. An addition of a water molecule will make ethene into ethanol $(C_2 H_5 OH)$.

Addition of water to a molecule and its assimilation into the molecular formula is Anown as hydration.

Ethene obtained from cracking of petroleum along with water is pressurized to 60 atmosphere and passed over heated $(300^{\circ} C)$ phosphoric acid $(H_3 PO_4)$. Ethanol is directly produced in this reaction. The phosphoric acid is a catalyst. The reaction is shown below.

$ \underset{\text{ Ethene }}{CH_2}=CH_2+\underset{\text{ Water }}{H-OH} \underset{300^{\circ} C, 60 \text{ atm }}{H_3 PO_4} \underset{\begin{matrix} \text{ Ethanol } \\ \text{ (Ethyl alcohol) } \end{matrix} }{CH_3-CH_2-OH} $

  1. ETHERS:

Ethers are a class of compounds which contains an oxygen atom bonded to two alkyl groups (same or different). When both the alkyl groups are same they are designated as simple or symmetrical ethers and when both are different they are called mixed or unsymmetrical ethers.

alt text

Ethers form a homologous series with the general formula $C_n H _{2 n+2} O$ where the value of ’ $n$ ’ is always more than 1 ; the functional group of ether is (- - ). Ethers may be regarded as anhydrides of alcohol as they may be obtained by elimination of water molecule from two alcohol molecules.

$R \underset{\text{ Alchol }}{O+H+HO}-R \longrightarrow Alchol$

Just as alcohol are considered as monoalkyl derivatives of water ethers may be cansidered as dialkyl derivatives of water.

Isomerism in ethers: Ethers exhibit two types of isomerism (i) Functional Isomerism: They are isomeric with monohydric alcohols eg. $CH_3-O-CH_3$ $CH_3 \cdot CH_2 OH$ methoxy methane ethyl alcohol

(ii) Metamerism: eg. $C_2 H_5-O-C_2 H_5$

alt text

Preparation of Ethers :

  1. By dehydrating excess of alcohols : Simple ethers can be prepared by heating an excess of primary alcohols with conc. $H_2 SO_4$ at $413 K$. Alcohol should be taken in excess so as to avoid its dehydration to alkenes.

$ \underset{\text{ Ethanol (2 molecules) }}{C_2 H_5-OH}+HO-C_2 H_5 \xrightarrow[413 K]{\text{ Conc. } H_2 SO_4} \underset{\text{ Diethyl ether }}{C_2 H_5-O-C_2 H_5}+H_2 O $

Dehydration may also be done by passing alcohol vapours over heated catalyst like alumina under high pressure and temperature.

  1. By heating alkyl halide with dry silver oxide : (Only for simple ethers).

$ C_2 H_5 I+Ag_2 O+IC_2 H_5 \longrightarrow C_2 H_5-O-C_2 H_5+2 AgI $

Physical Properties :

  1. The first two members, i.e., dimethyl ether and methylethyl ether are gases; while all others are colourless, volatile pleasant smelling liquids. Anisole and phenetole are liquids; diphenyl ether is solid at room temperature.

2 Ethers are highly inflammable.

  1. They are sparingly soluble in water, but readily soluble in organic solvents such as benzene, chloroform, etc.

  2. Ethers are slightly polar and have a small net dipole moment (e.g., $1.18 D$ for diethyl ether)

Chemical Properties :

(A) Properties due to alkyl groups:

  1. Halogenation : When ethers are treated with chlorine or bromine in the dark, substitution occurs at the $\alpha$-carbon atom. The extent of substitution depends upon the reaction conditions.

  1. Combustion: Since ethers are volatile and highly inflammable they burn in air to form $CO_2$ and water.

$ C_2 H_5-O-C_2 H_5+6 O_2 \longrightarrow 4 CO_2+5 H_2 O $

(B) Properties due to ethereal Oxygen :

  1. Chemical inertness : Since ethers do not have an active group, in their molecules, these do not react with active metals like $Na$, strong bases like $NaOH$, reducing or oxidising agents.

  2. Basic nature: Owing to the presence of unshared electron pairs on oxygen, ethers behave as Lewis bases. Hence they dissolve in strong acids (e.g., conc. $HCl$, conc. $H_2 SO_4$ ) at low temperature to form oxonium salts.

$ \underset{\text{ Diethyl ether }}{(C_2 H_5)_2 O+H_2 SO_4 \longrightarrow _{\text{Diethyloxonium hydrogen sulphate }}^{[(C_2 H_5)_2 OH]^{+}} HSO_4^{-}} $

On account of this property, ether is removed from ethyl bromide by shaking with conc. $H_2 SO_4$. The oxonium salts are stable only at low temperature and in a strongly acidic medium. On dilution, they decompose to give back the original ether and acid

(C) Properties due to carbon-oxygen bond:

  1. Hydrolysis : Ethers, when heated with dilute sulphuric acid under pressure, are hydrolysed to the corresponding alcohols.

$ C_2 H_5-O-C_2 H_5+H_2 O \xrightarrow{H_2 SO_4} \underset{\text{ Ethyl alcohol }}{2 C_2 H_5 OH} $

The hydrolysis may also be effected by boiling the ether with water or by treating it with steam.

  1. Action of conc. sulphuric acid : On heating with concentrated sulphuric acid, ethers are converted to alkyl hydrogen sulphates.

$ \begin{aligned} & C_2 H_5-O-C_2 H_5+H_2 SO_4 \text{ (conc.) } \longrightarrow C_2 H_5 OH+C_2 H_5 HSO \\ & \text{ Ethyl alcohol Ethyl hydroge } \\ & \text{ sulphate } \\ & C_2 H_5 OH+H_2 SO_4 \longrightarrow C_2 H_5 HSO_4+H_2 O \end{aligned} $

  1. Action of hydroiodic or hydrobromic acid : In this reaction, the ethereal linkage is broken; the product depends upon the temperature of the reaction.

(i) In cold, ethers react with $HI$ or $HBr$ to give the corresponding alkyl halide and alcohol.

$ \begin{aligned} & C_2 H_5-O-C_2 H_5+HI \longrightarrow C_2 H_5 I+C_2 H_5 OH \\ & \text{ Ethyl ether } \quad \text{ Ethyl iodide Ethyl alcohol } \end{aligned} $

ACETIC ACID (ETHANOICACID):

Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, is an organic chemical compound best recognized for giving vinegar its sour taste and pungent smell. Its structural formula is represented as $CH_3 COOH$. The trivial name acetic acid is the most commonly used and officially preferred name by the IUPAC. Glacial acetic acid is a trivial name for water-free acetic acid, the name comes from the ice-like crystals that form slightly below room temperature at $16.7^{\circ} C$ (about $62^{\circ} F$ ).

It is a weak acid because at standard temperature and pressure the dissaciated acid exists in equilibrium with the undissaciated farm in aqueous salutions, in cantrast to strang acids, which are fully dissociated.

Physical Properties :

Pure, water-free acetic acid (glacial acetic acid) is a colourless liquid that attracts water from the environment (hygroscopy), and freezes below $16.7^{\circ} C(62^{\circ} F)$ to a colourless crystalline solid. Acetic acid is one of the simplest carboxylic acids (the second-simplest, next to formic acid). Acetic acid is corrosive, and its vapour causes irritation to the eyes, a dry and burning nose, sore throat and congestion to the lungs.

Chemical Properties :

The hydrogen $(H)$ atom in the carboxyl group ( $-COOH)$ in carboxylic acids such as acetic acid can be given off as an $H^{+}$ion (proton), giving them their acidic character. Acetic acid is a weak, effectively monoprotic acid in aqueous solution, Acetic acid is corrosive to metals including iron, magnesium, and zinc, forming hydrogen gas and metal salts called acetates.

Reactions of ethanoic acid:

  1. Esterification reaction:

Esterification is the reaction between an acid and an alkanol producing ester( sweet-smelling substances). An acid, containing the $-COOH$ functional group, can react with an alkanol, containing the- $OH$ functional group, to produce an ester and water.

Ester are used in making perfumes and as flavouring agents.

Esters react in the presence of an acid or a base ta give back the alcohol and carbaxylic acid. Shis reaction is known as saponification because it is used in the preparation of saap.

  1. Reaction with a base: Like mineral acids, ethanoic acid reacts with a base such as sodium hydroxide to give a salt (sodium ethanoate or commonly called sodium acetate) and water:

$ NaOH+CH_3 COOH \to CH_3 COONa+H_2 O $

  1. Reaction with carbonates and hydrogencarbonates: Ethanoic acid reacts with carbonates and hydrogencarbonates to give rise to a salt, carbon dioxide and water. The salt produced is commonly called sodium acetate.

$ \begin{aligned} & 2 CH_3 COOH+Na_2 CO_3 \to 2 CH_3 COONa+H_2 O+CO_2 \\ & CH_3 COOH+NaHCO_3 \to CH_3 COONa+H_2 O+CO_2 \end{aligned} $

  1. Reaction with $(PCl_5, PCl_3.$ and $.SOCl_2)$

  1. Decarboxylation : Sodium or potasium salts of carboxylic acids on heating with soda lime $(NaOH+CaO)$ give alkanes which contain one carbon atom less than the parent acid

$ CH_3 COONa+NaOH \xrightarrow{CaO, \text{ Heat }} CH_4+Na_2 CO_3 $

Uses :

It is an important chemical reagent and industrial chemical that is used in the production of polyethylene terephthalate mainly used in soft drink bottles; cellulose acetate, mainly for photographic film; and polyvinyl acetate for wood glue, as well as synthetic fibres and fabrics. In households diluted acetic acid is often used in descaling agents. In the food industry acetic acid is used under the food additive code E260 as an acidity regulator.

SOAPS AND DETERGENTS :

Soaps are sodium or potassium fatty acids salts, produced from the alkaline hydrolysis of fats (higher fatty acids) in a chemical reaction called saponification. They are of biclogical origin. Each soap molecule has a long hydrocarbon chain, sometimes called its ’tail’, with a carboxylate ‘head’. In water, the sodium or potassium ions float free, leaving a negatively-charged head.

Detergents(syndets) are emulsifying agents that are very similar to soaps but they do not have a biological origin and they do not have a carboxylate group instead of it they have sulphonate group as they are sodium salt of long chain sulphonic acid. Synthetic detergents usually have a long hydrocarbon chain with between 12 and 20 carbon atoms. At the head of this chain there is a polar group that is a strong hydrogen bonder to water but does not form strong ionic bonds with the ions of hard water.

Before dealing with cleaning action of soap let us understand few points:

  • The salts of fatty acids have an ionic polar head group, the carboxylate and a long non-polar hydrocarbon chain.

  • The polar group is hydrophilic (i.e. water-loving), the non-polar portion is hydrophobic (i.e. water-hating) or lipophilic.
  • As a result aqueous solutions of this type of compound tend to form ordered aggregates such as micelles and bilayers.
  • Here the polar groups are exposed to the water and the hydrocarbon portions are “buried” within the core, away from the water.

How Soap Cleans :

The things we call “dirt” are actually grease, oils, and fats which are insoluble in water. When cleaning, soap micelles come into contact with the “dirt” and because like dissolves like, a minute amount of “dirt” dissolves within the central region of the soap micelle. Nonpolar dirts are emulsified and washed away in polar wash water. This is why soaps are said to be good emulsifying agents.

How Dces Detergent Remove Grease From Clothing?

Detergent molecules contain hydrophobic tails (hydrocarbon chain) which are water hating and will attach themselves to any substance which is non-polar (grease). The tails surround the grease with the polar heads in the aqueous phase, forming the structure shown. With agitation the grease is pulled from the clothing allowing the grease to be completely surrounded and moved into the aqueous phase. This is then washed away leaving only clean clothes behind.

Surface tension/surfactants :

Water, the liquid commonly used for cleaning, has a property called surface tension. In the body of the water, each molecule is surrounded and attracted by other water molecules. However, at the surface, those molecules are surrounded by other water molecules only on the water side. A tension is created as the water molecules at the surface are pulled into the body of the water. This tension causes water to bead up on surfaces (glass, fabric), which slows wetting of the surface and inhibits the cleaning process. You can see surface tension at work by placing a drop of water onto a counter top. The drop will hold its shape and will not spread. In the cleaning process, surface tension must be reduced so water can spread and wet surfaces. Chemicals that are able to do this effectively are called surface active agents, or surfactants. Surfactants perform other important functions in cleaning, such as loosening, emulsifying (dispersing in water) and holding soil in suspension until it can be rinsed away. Surfactants can also provide alkalinity, which is useful in removing acidic soils. Surfactants are classified by their ionic (electrical charge) properties in water: anionic (negative+ charge), nonionic (no charge), cationic (positive charge) and amphoteric (either positive or negative charge). Soap is an anionic surfactant. Carboxymethycellulose (CMC) is a compound which is added to synthetic detergent to keep the dust particles suspended in water, and helps in cleansing process.

When the alkali is sadium hydroxide, a sadium saap is formed. Sadium saaps are “hard” saaps. When the alkali is patassium hydraxide, a patassium soap is formed. Patassium saaps are softer and are found in same liquid hand saaps and shaving creams.

  1. Most of the dirt is oily in nature, and the oil does not dissolve in water. The soap molecules are sodium or potassium salts of long chain carboxylic acids. The acid end of soap dissolves in water while its carbon chain dissolves in the oil. In this. way soap molecules form rounded special type of structures called micelles in which one end of the soap molecule is towards the oil droplet while the acid end is towards the water. This forms an emulsion in water. In this way soap micelles help in removing the dirt particles from the surface and this dirt dissolves in water and the surface gets cleaned and washed.

Matter around us is present in the form of elements, compounds and mixtures and the elements contain atoms of only one type. At present, 114 elements are known to us. Around the year 1800, only 30 elements were known. All these had seemingly different properties. As different elements were being discovered, scientists gathered more and more information about the properties of these elements. They found it difficult to organise all that was known about the elements. They started looking for some pattern in their properties, on the basis of which they could study such a large number of elements with ease.

You must have visited a library. There are thousands of books in a large library. In spite of this if you ask for a particular book, the library staff can locate it easily. How is it possible? In library the books are classified into various categories and sub-categories. They are arranged on shelves accordingly. Therefore location of books becomes easy. On similar besis scientists made periodic table to arrange elements in proper manner. The periodic table of the chemical elements is a tabular display of the chemical elements.

EARLY ATTEMPTS AT THE CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS:

It wasn’t until 1649, however, until the first element was discovered through scientific inquiry by Hennig Brand. That element was phosphorous (P). By 1869, 63 elements had been discovered.

Between 1817-1829, Jahann Dabereiner kegan ta graup elements with similar properties in ta graups of three ar triads.

This began in 1817 when Johann Dobereiner noticed that the atomic weights of strontium, $Sr$, was halfway between the weights of calcium and barium. These elements possessed similar chemical properties. By 1829 , he had discovered that a halogen triad made up of chlorine, bromine, and iodine and a alkali metal triad of lithium, sodium and potassium.

Element Atomic mass
Lithium, $Li$ 7
Sodium, $Na$ 23
Potassium, $K$ 39

He postulated that nature contained triads of elements in which the middle element had properties that were an average of the other two elements.

Mean of the atomic masses of the first $(Li)$ and the third $(K)$ elements $(7+39) / 2 u$ The atomic mass of the middle element, sodium, $Na$ is equal to $23 u$. Two more examples of Dobereneir’s triads

I II
Element Atomic mass Element Atomic mass
Calcium, $Ca$ 48 Clorine, $Cl$ 35.5
Strontium, $Sr$ 88 Bromine, $Br$ 80
Barium, Ba 137 Iodine, $I$ 127

Mean of the atomic masses of the first and third elements $(I)=(40+137) / 2=88.5 u$

Mean of the first atomic masses of the first and third elements (II) $=(35.5+127) / 2=81.5 u$

Actual atomic mass of the second element $(I)=88 u$

Actual atomic mass of the second element (II) $=80 u$

Dobereneir’s idea of classification of elements into triads did not receive wide acceptance as he could arrange only a few elements in this manner.

Later, ather scientists found ather triads and recagnized that elements could be grouped inta set large than three. The paor accuracy of measurements ouch as that of atomic weights kindered grouping mare elements.

In 1862, A.E.Beguyer de Chancourtois was the first person to make use of atomic weights to reveal that the elements were arranged according to their atomic weights with similar elements occurring at regular intervals. He drew the elements as a continuous spiral around a cylinder divided into 16 parts. A list of elements was wrapped around a cylinder so that several sets of similar elements lined up, creating the first geometric representation of the periodic law.

CHECK Point

~~

  • Who discovered first element and which element it was?

~~ Solution

Phosphorus was the first element discovered by Hennig Brand.

Newland’s law of Octaves :

In 1864 John Alexander Newland, an English chemist noticed that “when elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic masses every eighth element had properties similar to the first element.” Newland called it the Law of Octaver.

It was due to its similarity with musical notes where, in every actave, after seven different notes the eighth note is repetition of the first ane as shown below.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
सा रे गा धा नी सा

Look carefully at the Newland’s arrangement of elements shown below:

$Li$ $Be$ $B$ $C$ $N$ $O$ $F$
$(6.9)$ $(9.0)$ $(10.8)$ $(12.0)$ $(14.0)$ $(16.0)$ $(19.0)$
$Na$ $Mg$ $Al$ $Si$ $P$ $S$ $Cl$
$(23.0)$ $(24.3)$ $(27.0)$ $(28.1)$ $(31.0)$ $(32.1)$ $(35.5)$
$K$ $Ca$
$(39.1)$ $(40.1)$

With the help of the arrangement given above, can you tell starting from lithium eighth element is the Sodium. And starting from sodium? It is potassium. Properties of all three are similar. Similarly, aluminium is the eighth element from boron it shows properties similar to it.

However, Newland could arrange elements in this manner only up to calcium out of a total of over sixty elements known at his time. Because of this shortcoming his work was not received well by the scientific community. The next break through in classification of elements came in the form of Mendeleev’s work.

MENDELEEV’S LAW :

A periodic function is the one which repeats itself after a certain interval. Thus, according to the periodic law (given by Mendeleev) the chemical and physical properties of elements repeat themselves after certain intervals when they are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic mass.

The chemical and physical properties of elements are a periodic function of their atamic masses.

A tabular arrangement of the elements based on the periodic law is called periodic table. Mendeleev believed that atomic mass of elements was the most fundamental property and arranged them in its increasing order in horizontal rows till he encountered an element which had properties similar to the first element. He placed this element below the first element and thus started the second row of elements. Proceeding in this manner he could arrange all the known elements according to their properties and thus created the first periodic table.

Mendeleev’s predicted the existence and properties of unknown elements which he called eka-aluminum, eka-baron, and eka-silican. The elements gallium, scandium and germanium were found later to fit his predictions quite well.

Main features of Mendeleev’s periodic table :

In Mendeleev’s periodic table elements are arranged in tabular form in rows and columns. Now let us learn more about these rows and columns and the elements present in them.

  1. The horizontal rows present in the periodic table are called series. These series are further divided into horizontal columns called periods. You can see that there are seven periods in the periodic table.

  2. Properties of elements in a particular period show regular gradation (i.e. increase or decrease) from left to right.

  3. The vertical columns present in it are called groups. You must have noticed that these are nine in number and are numbered from I to VIII and Zero (Roman numerals).

  4. Groups I to VII are subdivided into A and B subgroups. Groups Zero and VIII don’t have any subgroups.

  5. All the elements in a particular group are chemically similar in nature. They show regular gradation in their physical properties and chemical reactivities.

After learning about the main features we shall now learn about the main merits of Mendeleev’s periodic table.

Merits of Mendeleev’s periodic classification :

  1. Classification of all elements : Mendeleev’s was the first classification which successfully included all the elements.

  2. Prediction of new elements: Mendeleev’s periodic table had some blank spaces in it. These vacant spaces were for elements that were yet to be discovered. For example, he proposed the existence of an unknown element that he called eka aluminium. The element gallium was discovered four years later and its properties matched very closely with the predicted properties of eka aluminium.

CHECK Po int

  • Why Meendeleev left some places empty in his periodic table?

Solution

For the elements which were not discovered at that time. The elements which supposed to be discovered later

Defects in Mendeleev’s periodic classification :

In spite of being a historic achievement Mendeleev’s periodic table had some defects in it. The following were the main defects in it:

  1. Position of hydrogen : Hydrogen resembles alkali metals (forms $H^{+}$ion just like $Na^{+}$ions) as well as halogens ( forms $H^{-}$ion similar to $Cl^{-}$ion). Therefore, it could neither be placed with alkali metals (group I) nor with halogens (group VII ).

  2. Position of isotopes : Different isotopes of same elements have different atomic masses, therefore, each one of them should be given a different position in the periodic table. On the other hand, because they are chemically similar, they had to be given same position.

  3. Anomalous pairs of elements : At certain places, an element of higher atomic mass has been placed before an element of lower atomic mass. For example, Argon (39.91) is placed before potassium (39.1)

MODERN CLASSIFICATION :

Henry Moseley, an English physicist discovered in the year 1913 that atomic number, is the most fundamental property of an ic number, (Z) of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of its atom. The number of electrons in the neutral atom is also equal to its atomic number. This discovery changed the whole perspective about elements and their properties to such an extent that a need was felt to change the periodic law also.

350 Periodic Classification of Elements |Chemistry |

MODERN PERIODIC LAW :

After discovery of atomic number the periodic law was modified and the new law was based upon atomic numbers in place of atomic masses of elements. After the change in the periodic law many changes were suggested in the periodic table. When the elements are arranged in the increasing order of their atomic number, most of the defects of Mendeleev classification get rectified. Modern periodic law : It states that “the properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.

Bath the lanthanide and actinide series of elements were placed under the rest of the periodic table. These clements technically should be placed between the alkaline earth metals and the transition metals, however, since this would make the periadic takle taa wide, they were placed below the rest of the elements.

CHECK Point

~~

  • Modern periodic law is based on which property of elements?

~~ Solution

It is based on atomic number of elements.

The modern periodic table is also known as the long form of the periodic table or the extended form of the periodic table.

Modern periodic table :

The main features of this periodic table:

Groups:

There are 18 vertical columns in the periodic table. Each column is called a group. The groups have been numbered from 1 to 18 (in Arabic numerals) from left to right. Group 1 on extreme left position contains alkali metals ( $Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs$ and $Fr$ ) and group 18 on extreme right side position contains noble gases ( $He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe$ and $Rn$ ).

Elements present in groups 1 and 2 on left side and groups 13 to 17 on the right side of the periodic table are called normal elements or representative elements. Their outermost shells are incomplete. They are also called typical or main group elements. Elements present in groups 3 to 12 in the middle of the periodic table are called transition elements. However, it should be noted here that more and more electrons are added to valence shell only in case of normal elements. In transitions elements, the electrons are added to incomplete inner shells.

Graup 12 elements $(Zn, Cd, Hg)$ are nat regarded as a transition metal because according ta madern, IUPAC definition “an element whose atam has an incomplete $d$ sub-shell, ar which can give rise ta cations with an incemplete $d$ sub-shell are considered as transition elements. Elements of these group does nat satisfy this condition Gut they resemble transition metal in their properties.

Group 18 on extreme right side of the periodic table contains noble gases. Their outermost shells contain 8 electrons and are completely filled that’s why they are inert. Inner transition elements: 14 elements with atomic numbers 58 to 71 (Ce to Lu) are called lanthanides and they are placed along with the element lanthanum (La), atomic number 57 in the same position (group 3 in period 6 ) because of very close resemblance between them. However, for convenience sake they are shown separately below the main periodic table. 14 elements with atomic numbers 90 to103 ( $Th$ to $Lr$ ) are called actinides and they are placed along with the elcment actinium (Ac), atomic number 89 in the same position (group 3 in period 7) because of very close resemblance between them. They are shown also separately below the main periodic table along with lanthanides.

Periods:

There are seven rows in the periodic table. Each row is called a period. The periods have been numbered from 1 to 7 (Arabic numerals). In each period a new shell starts filling up. The period number is also the number of shell which starts filling up in it. For example, in elements of $3 rd$ period, the third shell ( $M$ shell) starts filling up as we move from left to right. The first element of this period sodium $Na(2.8,1)$ has only one electron in its valence shell (third shell) while the last element of this period, argon $Ar(2,8,8)$ has cight electrons in its valence shell.

The gradual filing of the third shell can be seen below.

Element $Na$ $Mg$ $Al$ $Si$ $P$ $S$ $Cl$ $Ar$
Electronic configuration $2,8,1$ $2,8,2$ $2,8,3$ $2,8,4$ $2,8,5$ $2,8,6$ $2,8,7$ $2,8,8$

The first period is the shortest period of all and contains only 2 elements, $H$ and $Hc$. The second and third periods are called short periods and contain 8 elements cach.

Fourth and fifth periods are long periods and contain 18 elements each.

Sixth and seventh periods are very long periods containing 32 elements each( Including elements up to atomic number 118 . Elements 114,116 and 118 have been reported only recently.)

The period of an element signifies the highest energy level an electron in that element occupies in an unexcited state.

The elements in the Periodic Jable are clasoified as :

Metalloids , alkali metals, alkaline Earth Metals, Jransition Metals, Other Metals, Nan-metals, Halagens,

Classification based on differentiating electron :

This classification divides the elements into four types. i.e., s-, p-, d- and f-block elements depending on the type of the atomic shell into which the last electron enters.

s-block elements : Those elements of the periodic table in which the last electron enters in s-orbital, are called s-block elements. $s$-orbital can accommodate a maximum of two electrons. Their general formulae are $n s^{1} and^{2} ss^{2}$ respectively, where $n=(1$ to 7$)$. I A group elements are known as alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali. II A group elements are known as alkaline earth metals because their oxides react with water to form alkali and these are found in the soil or earth. s-block element are soft and have low melting and boiling points. They mostly form ionic compounds. The total number of $s$ block elements are $14 . Fr^{87}$ and $Ra^{88}$ are radioactive elements while $H$ and $He$ are gaseous elements. $Cs$ and $Fr$ are liquid elements belonging to s-block.

p-block elements : Those elements of the periodic table in which the last electron gets filled up in the p-orbital, called p-block elements. A p-orbital can accommodate a maximum of six electrons. Therefore, p-block elements are divided into six groups which are III A, IV A, V A, VI A, VII A and VIII A groups. They include both metals and non-metals. They form mostly covalent compounds. The general formula of $p$ block elements is $n s^{2} np^{1-6}$ (where $n=2$ to 6 )

The VIIIA group elements having general formula $n s^{2} n p^{6}$ are inert, because their energy levels are fully filled. The total number of $p$ block elements in the periodic table is 30 (excluding $He$ ). There are nine gaseous elements ( $Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn, F_2, Cl_2, O_2$ and $N_2$ ) belonging to p-block. Gallium $(Ga)$ and bromine $(Br)$ are liquids.

d-block elements : Those elements of the periodic table in which the last electron gets filled up in the d orbital, called d block elements. The d block elements are placed in groups named IIIB, IV B, V B, VI B, VII B, VIII, I B and II B. In d block elements the electron gets filled up in the d orbital of the penultimate shell. Though the total number of $d$ block elements is 39 in the periodic table but there are only 36 transition elements. Because only those elements are transition in which d orbital is partially filled. The general formula of these elements is $(n-1) d^{1-10} n s^{1-2}$ where $n=4$ to 7 . They are metals having high melting and boiling points. Most of them form coloured compounds and exhibit several oxidation states.

All of these elements are metals. Out of all the $d$ black elements mercury is the anly liquid element.

f-block elements : Those elements of the periodic table in which the last electron gets filled up in the $f$ orbital, called $f$ block elements. There are $28 fblock$ elements in the periodic table. The elements from atomic number 58 to 71 are called lanthanides because they come after lanthanum (57). The elements from 90 to 103 are called actinides because they come after actinium (89). They are heavy metals with high melting and boiling points. They form coloured ions. All the actinide elements are radioactive. All the elements after atomic number 92 (i.e. $U^{92}$ ) are transuranic elements. The elements which do not occur in nature and are produced in the laboratories artificially are called transuranic or synthetic elements. The general formula of these elements is $(n-2)^{f^{(1-14)}}(n-1) d^{0-1} n s^{2}$ where $n=6 & 7$.

The lanthanides accur in nature in low abundance and therefore, these are called rare earth elements.

Merits of modern periodic table over Mendeleev’s periodic table :

The modern periodic table is based on atomic number which is more fundamental property of an atom than atomic mass. The long form of modern periodic table is therefore free of main defects of Mendeleev’s periodic table.

  1. Position of isotopes : All isotopes of the same elements have different atomic masses but same atomic number. Therefore, they occupy the same position in the modern periodic table which they should have because all of them are chemically similar.

  2. Anomalous pairs of elements : When elements are arranged in the periodic table according to their atomic numbers the anomaly regarding certain pairs of elements in Mendeleev’s periodic table disappears. For example, atomic numbers of argon and potassium are 18 and 19 respectively. Therefore, argon with smaller atomic number comes before potassium although its atomic mass is greater.

  3. It explains the periodicity of the properties of the elements and relates them to their electronic configurations.

  4. The table is simple, synthetic and easy way for remembering the properties of various elements and moreover lanthanides and actinides are placed separately.

CHECK Point

  • Hydrogen has three isotopes ${ }^{1} H,{ }^{2} H$ and ${ }^{3} H$ respectively. On what basis these elements were placed in modern periodic table?

~~ Solution

Modern periodic table is based on more fundamental property atomic number. All isotopes of the same element have same atomic number. Thus all three of them are placed on same position in modern periodic table.

TRENDS IN THE MODERN PERIODIC TABLE :

In a period the number of valence electrons and the nuclear charge increases from left to right. It increases the force of attraction between them. In a group the number of filled shells increases and valence electrons are present in higher shells. This decreases the force of attraction between valence electrons and the nucleus of the atom. These changes affect various properties of elements and they show gradual variation in a group and in a period and they repeat themselves after a certain interval of atomic number. Such properties are called periodic properties.

Valency :

The combining capacity of an atom or radical is known as its valency. It is measured in terms of hydrogen, chlorine and oxygen atom. Valency of an element is defined as the number of hydrogen, chlorine and double the number of oxygen atom with which atom of an element can combine.

For eg. Valency of oxygen in water $(H_2 O)$ is 2

Valency of carbon in methane $(CH_4)$ is 4 .

(a) Valency in a period : You have already learnt in the previous section that the number of valence electrons increases in a period. In normal elements it increases from 1 to 8 in a period from left to right. It reaches 8 in group 18 elements (noble gases) which show practically no chemical activity under ordinary conditions and their valency is taken as zero. Carefully look at the table given below. Nalency of normal elements with respect to oxygen increases from 1 to 7 as shown below for elements of third period. This valency is equal to the number of valence electrons or group number for groups I and 2, or (group number-10) for groups 13 to 17 .

Group 1 2 13 14 15 16 17
Element $Na$ $Mg$ $Al$ $Si$ $P$ $S$ $Cl$

Formula of oxide $Na_2 O$ $MgO$ $Al_2 O_3$ $SiO_2$ $P_4 O _{10}$ $SO_3$ $Cl_2 O_7$

In the following table for elements of second period you will observe that valency of elements with respect to hydrogen and chlorine increases from 1 to 4 and then decreases to 1 again.

Group 1 2 13 14 15 16 $17^{-}$
Element $Li$ $Be$ $B$ $C$ $N$ $O$ $F$

Formula of chloride $LiCl$ $BeCl_2$ $BCl_3$ $CCl_4$ $NCl_3$ $Cl_2 O$ $ClF$

(b) Valency in a group : All the elements of a group have the same number of valence electrons. Therefore, they all have the same valency. Thus valency of all group 1 elements, alkali metals, is 1 . Similarly valency of all group 17 elements, halogens, is 1 with respect to hydrogen and 7 with respect to oxygen.

Arrange the following elements $X, Y, Z$ in increasing order of their valencies :

  1. It remain constant for elements in group.

~~ 2. $Z>Y>X$

Atomic Radii

A number of physical properties like density and melting and boiling points are related to the sizes of atoms. Atomic size is difficult to define. Atomic radius determines the size of an atom. For an isolated atom atomic radius may be taken as the distance between the centre of nucleus of atom and the outermost shell of electrons. Practically, measurement of size of an isolated atom is difficult; therefore, it is measured when an atom is in company of another atom of same element. It is defined as one-half the distance between the nuclei of two atoms when they are linked to each other by a single covalent bond.

Variation of atomic radii in a period :

Atomic radii (in picometer) of 2nd and 3rd period elements are given in the table given below. In a period, atomic radius generally decreases from left to right with increase in atomic number

$2^{\text{nd }}$ period $L$ $Be$ $B$ $C$ $N$ $O$ $F$
152 111 88 77 74 66 42
$3^{\text{nd }}$ period $Na$ $Mg$ $Al$ $Si$ $P$ $S$ $Cl$
190 145 118 111 98 88 79

In a period there is a gradual increase in the nuclear charge with increase in atomic number. Since valence electrons are added in the same shell since, the electrons in the same shell do not screen each other from the nucleus, the increase in nuclear charge is not neutralised by the extra valence electron. As a result effective nuclear charge increases therefore valence electrons are more and more strongly attracted towards nucleus. This gradually decreases atomic radii.

Variation of atomic radii in a group :

Atomic radii increases in a group from top to bottom. This can be seen from the data of atomic radii in picometers given for groups 1 and 17 elements below.

Element (group 1) Atomic radius Element (group 2) Atomic radius
$Li$ 155 $F$ 72
$Na$ 190 $Cl$ 99
$K$ 235 $Br$ 114
$Rb$ 248 $I$ 133

In moving down the group the nuclear charge increases with increase in atomic number. However, while going down in a group from one atom to another the number of inner shells also increases, although the number of electrons in the outermost shell remains the same. The effect of increase in the size of the electron cloud (due to increase in number of shells) is more pronounced than the effect of increased nuclear charge. Thus the distance of outermost electron from the nucleus increases as we move down a group. For example, in lithium the valence electron is present in 2nd shell while in sodium it is present in 3rd shell. Also, the number of filled shells between valence electrons and nucleus increases. Thus in group $1 Li(2,1)$ has one filled shell between its nucleus and valence electron while $Na(2,8,1)$ has two filled shells between them. Both the factors decrease the force of attraction between nucleus and valence electron. Therefore, atomic size increases on moving down a group.

Note : Isoelectronic species are those which have same number of electrons for e.g. $K^{+}$and $Ca^{2+}$.

CHECK P oint

~~

  1. Why Iodine atom is larger in size in comparison to chlorine atom?

~~ 2. Observe the following figure:

In above series, why the size of atom decreases from $Na$ to $Cl$

Solution

~~

  1. This is because iodine is below chlorine in group 17th, we know that atomic size increases as we move down the group.

~~ 2. The size of atom decreases due to increase in nuclear charge as we know nuclear charge increases while going from left to right in a period.

Ionic radii decrease in a period. It can be seen from the data of ionic radil in picometer for 2 nd period elements given below.

alt text

In the data given above, the positions of boron and carbon have been left vacant as they do not form ions. The trend in radit of cations is seen in $Li^{+}$and $Be^{2+}$ and in radii of anions is seen in $N^{2}, O^{2-}$ and $F^{-}$

Ionization Energy :

Negatively charged electrons in an atom are attracted by the positively charged nucleus. For removing an electron this attractive force must be overcome by spending some energy. The minimum amount of energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom in its ground state to form a gaseous ion is called ionization energy. It is measured in unit of $kJ mol^{-1}$.

It is a measure of the farce of attraction between the nucleus and the outermast electron. Stranger the farce of attraction, greater is the value of ionization energy.

It corresponds to the following process : If only one electron is removed, the ionization energy is known as the first ionization energy. If second electron is removed the ionization energy is called the second ionization energy same goes for third ionization energy and so on. Now we shall study the variation of ionization energy in the periodic table.

Variation of ionization energy in a group :

We have already seen earlier, that the force of attraction between valence electrons and nucleus decreases in a group from top to bottom because of increase in atomic size due to addition of inner shells. Moreover there is increase in shielding effect on outermost (valence) electrons due to increase in the number of inner electrons. As a result, the electron becomes less and less firmly held to nucleus as we move down the group. Ionization energy decreases in a group from top to bottom. This can be seen from ionization energy values (in $kJ mol^{-1}$ ) of groups 1 and 17 elements given below.

Group 1

Element Ionization Energy
$Li$ 520
$Na$ 496
$K$ 419
$Rb$ 403

Group 17

$F$ 1680
$C$ 1251
$Br$ 1143
$I$ 1009

Variation of ionization energy in a period :

We know that the force of attraction betweens valence electron and nucleus increases in a period from left to right due to increase in nuclear charge. As a consequence of this, the ionization energy generally increases in a period from left to right. This trend can be seen in ionization energies (in $kJ mol^{-1}$ ) of elements belonging to $2 nd$ and 3rd periods.

However some irregularites in the general trend have been notied. These are due to extra stability of half filled and completely-filled configurations. Far example as shown in data above nitrogen have mare ionization energy in camparisan ta axygen which is due electranic canfiguration of nitragen atam $(1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2}, 2 p^{3})$. FHere $2 p$-arbital is exactly half filled, is mare stable than that of axygen $(1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2}, 2 p^{4})$.

  1. Why ionisation energy of beryllium is more in comparison to Boron?

~~ 2. Examine the following elements of the third period of Modern periodic table :

$\mathbf{N a}, \mathbf{M g}, \mathbf{A l}, \mathbf{S i}, \mathbf{P}, \mathbf{S}, \mathbf{C l}$

How will tendency to lose electrons vary in given series :

Solution

~~

  1. Beryllium has more ionisation energy in comparision to Boron, because of the electronic configuration of Be atom $(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2})$. Here $2 s$ orbital is fully filled which is more stable than that of $B(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{1})$

~~ 2. Tendency to lose electrons decreases in given series because we know that atomic size decreases as we move in a period which results in to increase in ionisation energy along a period. Thus removal of electrons become difficult along a period.

Electron Affinity :

Another important property that determines the chemical properties of an element is the tendency to gain an additional electron. This ability is measured by electron affinity. It is the energy change when an electron is accepted by an atom in the gaseous state. It corresponds to the process $: X(g)+e^{-} \longrightarrow X^{-}(g)+E$

Here, $X$ is an atom of an element. The energy change is measured in the unit $kJ mol^{-1}$. By convention, electron affinity is assigned a positive value when energy is released during the process. Greater the value of electron affinity; more energy is released during the process and greater is the tendency of the atom to gain electron.

Electron affinity depend an factors like nuclear charge, size of atam and electronic configuration.

Variation of electron affinity in a group :

In a group, the electron affinity decreases on moving from top to bottom, that is, less and less amount of energy is released. On moving down a group, the size and nuclear charge increases. The effect of increase in atomic size is much more pronounced than the effect of nuclear charge therefore additional electron feels less attraction by nucleus. Hence lower is electron affinity. Such trends in its values (in $kJ \mathrm{mol-1)}$ for group 1 and group 17 elements are given below.

Group 1

Element Electron affinity
$L$ 58
$Na$ 53
$K$ 48
$Rb$ 45

Group 17

Element Electron affinity
$F$ 333
$Cl$ 348
$Br$ 324
$I$ 295

Variation of electron affinity along a period

On moving across a period, the size of atom decreases and nuclear charge increases. Both of these factors result into greater attraction for incoming electron. Thus electron affinity increases in a period from left to right. However certain irregularities are due to stable electronic configurations of certain atoms.

  • Halogens have the highest electron affinity.
  • Electron affinity ualues of nable gases are pasitive while thase of $Be, Mg, N$ and $P$ are almost zera.

  • Why electron affinity value of bromine atom is lower than of chlorine atom?

~~ Solution

This is because the value of electron affinity decreases as we move down the group.

Electronegativity :

You have learnt in the previous section that electron affinity of an element is a measure of an isolated atom to attract electrons towards itself. We normally do not deal with isolated atoms. Mostly we come across atoms which are bonded to other atoms. There is another property which deals with the power of bonded atoms to attract electrons. This property is known as electronegativity. Electronegativity is relative tendency of a bonded atom to attract the bond-electrons towards itself. Electronegativity is a dimensionless quantity and does not have any units. It just compares the tendency of various elements to attract the bondelectrons towards themselves. The most widely used scale of electronegativity was devised by Linus Pauling. Now let us learn about its variation in groups 1 and 17 .

Group 1

$Cl \quad 3.0$

$Br \quad 2.8$

Fluarine atam has the greatest pawer of attracting electrons and in the mast electronegative element.

Electronegativity generally decreases in a group from top to bottom. As we move in a group from top to bottom the atomic size increases as a result bonding electrons become away from the nucleus. Now let us see its variation in 2nd and 3rd period elements.

Electronegativity generally increases in a period from left to right. This is due to decrease in atomic size and increase in effective nuclear charge. Now as a result of increase in effective nuclear charge, the attraction for the outermost electrons increases.

  • Halagens fave the highest electranegativities.
  • Nan-metals have high electranegativity values in comparisan ta metals.

Metallic and Non-Metallic Character

You know what are characteristic properties of a metal. They are electropositive in nature (the tendency to lose electrons), have luster, ductility, malleability and electrical conductance.

Variation of metallic character in a group :

You know about the variation of ionization energy in a group. Metallic character of elements increases from top to bottom. As we move down in a group atomic size increases therefore distance between valence electrons and nucleus also increase. Thus electrostatic force of attraction on valence electrons decreases and they can be easily removed. This can best be seen in elements of group 14. Its first element, carbon is a typical non metal, next two elements $Si$ and $Ge$ are metalloids and the remaining elements Sn and $Pb$, are typical metals as shown below.

CHECK Point

~~

  • **Even being in same group lead is a metal while silicon is a metalloid why? **

~~ Solution

It is because the metallic character increases as we move down a group. Thus lead being the last member of group 14 possess metallic character.

Make a complete periodic table on chart paper and paste it on a thin card board. Then cut square piece of every element separately in such a manner that you will get flash cord for each and every element separately. Now tell your friends to go through the concept of variation of periodic properties in periodic table. Now divide your friends in two groups and you also become a part of one group. Play a game in which one group will name a property and a group or period while other group members have to arrange the elements of that particular group or period according to variation of that asked property. Now the other group will perform in the same manner. Ten points for right arrangement and deduction of five points for wrong arrangement at the end let’s see which group wins.

VERY SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS:

~~

  1. Yes, they also exist in the columns of Newlands’ Octaves.

~~ 2. Dobereiner could identify only three triads from the elements known at that time. Thus he could arrange only a few elements in this manner and his classification not receive wide acceptance.

~~ 3. Germanium, Scandium

~~ 4. Mendeleev’s periodic table was based on atomic weight.

~~ 5. It is because noble gases resemble each other in properties and do not resemble with other group of elements.

~~ 6. Modern periodic table is based on atomic number, therefore problem of placing $Ar, K, Co, Ni$ was easily removed. Secondly, problem of isotopes was also solve because have same atomic number.

~~ 11. The basis of the modern periodic table is Mosley periodic law that is, the properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.

~~ 12. The periodic table is divided into four blocks (s-block, pblock, d-block and f-block) on the basis of their electronic configuration.

~~ 13. The chemical properties of an atom are largely determined by its valance electrons. In a given group, the number of valance electrons are same, hence they have the same properties.

~~ 14. Mendeleev left some gaps in his periodic table for the elements yet to be discovered. He even predicted the properties of these elements by studying the properties of the neighbouring elements.

~~ 26. 117

SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS :

~~

  1. Cations are smaller than their parent atoms, so $Ca^{2+}$ is smaller than the $Ca$ atom. Because $Ca$ is below $Mg$ in group IIA of the periodic table, $Ca^{2+}$ is larger than $Mg^{2+}$. Consequently, $Ca>Ca^{2+}>Mg^{2+}$.

~~ 2. (i) It was found that law of octaves was applicable only up to calcium because after $Ca$, every eighth element did not possess properties similar to first.

(ii) New elements discovered could not fit into the law of octaves on the basis of their properties.

(iii) Newland adjusted two elements in same slot e.g., Co and $Ni$ which differ entirely from halogens. Iron resembles with $Co$ and $Ni$, has been placed far away from these elements.

~~ 3. (a) All of them are highly reactive and all of them have one electron in their outer most shell. i.e., they lose electrons easily.

(b) Helium and Neon both have completely filled outermost shell.

~~ 4. When the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers, elements with similar chemical properties appear at definite intervals known as periodicity. Yes, this periodicity is due to the periodicity in the number of electrons in the outermost shell of the atoms of the elements. If elements having the same number of valence electrons are grouped together, the elements falling within each group are similar in chemical properties.

~~ 5. In moving down a group, the charge on the nucleus increases with increase in atomic number, but at the same time, there is an increase in the energy levels. The number of electrons in the outermost shell, however, remains the same. Since the effect of additional energy levels outweigh the effect of increased atomic or nuclear charge, the distance of the outermost electron from the nucleus increase on going down the group.

~~ 6. Mendleev’s periodic law : It states that, the properties of elements are the periodic functions of their atomic masses. It means the properties of the elements depend on their atomic masses and the elements are positioned in the periodic table on the basis of their increasing atomic masses.

~~ 7. (a) The $P^{+}$cation has 14 electrons in the configuration $1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{2}$. Ar and $S^{2-}$ have 18 electrons, $Si^{-}$ has 15 electrons, and $Cl^{3+}$ has 14 electrons. Only $Cl^{3+}$ is isoelectronic with $P^{+}$.

(b) The $Mn^{2+}$ cation has 23 electrons and the electron configuration $[Ar] 3 d^{5}$ (remember to remove first the valence electrons with the highest $n$ value, $4 s$ in this case). The $Fe^{3+}$ ion also has 23 electrons and the same electron configuration as $Mn^{2+}$; they are isoelectronic. The $Ni^{3+}$ ion has 25 electrons ( $[Ar] 3 d^{7}$ ) and $Co^{3+}$ has 24 electrons $([Ar] 3 d^{6})$. Neither is isoelectronic with $Mn^{2+}$.

~~ 8. For both lithium and beryllium, the first electron is ionized from the $2 s$ sublevel. As we know that fully or exactly half filled configurations are extra stable. Thus while removing first electron is case of Beryllium 2s sublevel is completely filled therefore being more stable in comparison to partially filled $2 s$ subshell of lithium. Thus first ionisation energy is more for beryllium. While removing second electron in case of lithium it has to be removed from 1 s subshell which acquire extra stability due to completely filled configuration. Thus require more energy in comparison to is subshell of beryllium.

~~ 9.

(a) $n s^{1}$

(b) $n s^{2} n p^{2}$

(c) $n s^{2} n p^{5}$

~~ 10. (a) $Si^{+}$

(b) $Mg^{+}$

(c) $Fe^{+}$

~~ 11. (a) $Na$. A cation always has a smaller size that a neutral atom.

(b) $O^{2-}$. The size of anion increase as the charge increases.

(c) $Ni^{2+}$. The size of cation decreases as the charge increases.

~~ 12. (a) $O<B<Li$

~~ 13. (a) $Be^{2+}<Be<Li$

(b) $N<C<Si$

(c) $S<As<Sn$

(b) $Cl<S<S^{2-}$

(c) $N<C<Si$

~~ 14. (a) In a group, the ionisation potential decreases from top to bottom, hence ionisation potential of $Rb$ will be higher than $Na$.

$Na>Rb$.

(b) In a period ionisation potential increases from left to right, i.e., $F^{-}>O^{–}$

~~ 15. Boron. In both cases a valence $2 s$ electron is being removed, but $B^{+}$has fully filled inert configuration.

~~ 16. Vertical neighbours $=$ oxygen $(O)$ and selenium (Se), horizontal neighbours $=$ phosphorus $(P)$ and chlorine $(Cl)$. Oxygen and selenium have similar chemical properties.

~~ 17. In a group, the metallic character increases with increase in atomic number of elements from top to bottom. This is due to the fact that the number of valence shells and the distance of valence electrons increases from the nucleus. The size also increases from top to bottom. Thus, it is easier to remove electrons from the valence shell of atom of element present at lower position in group.

~~ 18. As we move from left to right across a period there is a regular decrease in atomic radii of the representative elements. This is due to the fact that number of energy shells remain the same in a period but nuclear charge increases gradually as the atomic number increases, hence the correct order will be

$ Na>Mg>Al>P>Cl $

~~ 19. $N$ and $P$ are in the same group and $N$ is above $P$. Therefore, the radius of $N$ is smaller than that of $P$ (atomic radius increases as we go down a group). Both $Si$ and $P$ are in the third period, and $Si$ is to the left of $P$. Therefore, the radius of $P$ is smaller than that of $Si$ (atomic radius decreases as we move from left to right across a period). Thus the order of increasing radius is $N<P<Si$.

LONG ANSWER QUESTIONS :

~~ 1. (a) $K$ has the electron configuration of $[Ar] 4 s^{1}$ and $K^{+}$ has the electron configuration of $[Ar]$. The electron in the 4 s orbital makes $K$ much larger than $K^{+}$.

(b) These two species have the same electron configuration $[Ar]$ as these two species are isoelectronic. The size of $S^{2}$ is larger than $Cl^{-}$because generally anions with more negative charge are larger in size. Moreover sulphur is at left to chlorine in periodic table. Therefore periodic trend also favours $S^{2-}$.

(c) Both $Co^{2+}([Ar] 3 d^{7})$ and $Co^{3+}([Ar] 3 d^{6})$ have valence electrons in the same sublevel, but $Co^{2+}$ is larger because of the additional shielding caused by the extra electron will expand the electron cloud.

~~

  1. (a) Magnesium and phosphorus are in the same period. Phosphorus is to the right and has the higher ionization energy.

(b) Boron and chlorine are in different periods, but chlorine is four groups to the right of boron. There is a small decrease in ionization energies on going from the second period to the third period, but this change is small compared to the increase in going from group IIIA to group VIIA. Chlorine has the higher ionization energy. Note that in this case the correct answer is clear. It is more difficult to compare closely positioned elements from different periods, such as boron and silicon, from the general trends among elements.

(c) The ions $K^{+}$and $Ca^{2+}$ are isoelectronic, but calcium is present in right with respect to potassium in IVth period thus according to general periodic trends $Ca^{2+}$ the higher ionization energy.

(d) (I) $Cl>Ge$ (II) $F>B$ (III) $Al^{3+}>Na^{+}$

~~ 3. (a) Oxygen and sulfur are members of Group VIA. They have the same valence electron configuration $(n s^{2} n p^{4})$, but the $3 p$ electron in sulfur is farther from the nucleus and experiences less nuclear attraction than the $2 p$ electron in oxygen. Thus, following the general rule that the ionization energy of elements decreases as we move down a periodic group, we predict that sulfur should have a smaller first ionization energy.

(b) For both lithium and beryllium, the first electron is ionized from the $2 s$ sublevel. As we know that fully or exactly half filled configurations are extra stable. Thus while removing first electron is case of Beryllium $2 s$ sublevel is completely filled therefore being more stable in comparison to partially filled $2 s$ subshell of lithium. Thus first ionisation energy is more for beryllium. While removing second electron in case of lithium it has to be removed from is subshell which acquire extra stability due to completely filled configuration. Thus require more energy in comparison to $1 s$ subshell of beryllium.

(c) (I) Group IA (II) Group VA (III) Group VIIIA

~~

  1. (a) The atomic number of this element is obtained by adding all the electrons present in its electronic configuration.

$\therefore$ Atsmic number $=2+8+7=17$

(b) The electronic configuration of the given element

$ =2,8,7 $

Valence electron in its atom $=7$

This element will be chemically similar to that element which is the same as valence electron (7)

(i) $N$ (7) $: 2,5$ (5 valance electrons)

(ii) $F$ (9) : 2,7 (7 valance electrons)

(iii) $P(15): 2,8,5$ (5 valance electrons)

(iv) $Ar(18): 2,8,8$ (8 valance electrons)

Clearly F (9) has 7 valence electrons just like that of the given element. Hence, the given element of atomic number 17 will be chemically similar to the element fluorine ( $F$ ) of atomic number 9 .

MULTIPLE MATCHING GUESTIONS:

~~

  1. $A-(p, q) B-(r, s) C-(p, q, r) D-(q, s)$

HOTS SUBJECTIVE QUESTIONS:

~~

  1. We are given the chemical symbols for five elements. In order to rank them according to increasing first ionization energy, we need to locate each element in the periodic table. We can then use their relative positions and the trends in first ionization energies to predict their order

The ionization energy increases we move left period to right across a row. It decreases as we move from the top of a group to the bottom. Because $Na, P$, and $Ar$ are in the same period of the periodic table, we expect It to vary in the order : $Na<P<Ar$.

Because $Ne$ is above $Ar$ in group 8A, we expect Ne to exhibit the greater first ionization energy: $Ar<Ne$

Similarly, $K$ is the alkali metal directly below $Na$ in group $IA$. so we expect $I_1$ for $K$ to be less than that of $Na: K<N$ : From these observations we conclude that the ionization energies follow the order: $K<Na<P<Ar<Ne$

~~

  1. In comparing ionic radii, it is useful to classify the ions into three categories: (1) isoelectronic ions, (2) ions carrying the same charges and are generated from atoms of the same periodic group, and (3) ions carrying different charges but are generated from the same atom. In case (1), ions carrying a greater negative charge are always larger; in case (2), ions from atoms having a greater atomic number are always larger; in case (3), ions having a greater positive charge are always smaller.

(a) $N^{3-}$ and $F^{-}$are isoelectronic anions. Because $N^{3-}$ has only seven protons and $F^{-}$has nine, $N^{3-}$ is larger.

(b) Both $Mg$ and Ca belong to Group 2A (the alkaline earth metals). The $Ca^{2+}$ ion is larger than $Mg^{2+}$ because Ca’s valence electrons are in a larger shell $(n=4)$ than are $Mg^{\prime} \mathbf{s}(n=3)$.

~~

  1. (a) $O^{2-}<O<F$

(b) $Si<C<N$

(c) $Sr<Ru<Te$

~~

  1. (a) W, density increases with $Z$ (b) Os, density increases with $Z$ (c) Pd, density decreases at the end of a row and (d) $Nb$, density increases with $Z$.

~~ 5. (a) and (d), (b) and (e) (c) and (f)

~~ 6. Group 18 elements have their outermost shell completely filled and the atoms of these elements have no tendency to gain or lose electrons. Thus, the elements of this group are zero valent and almost unreactive.

~~ 7. (a) Beryllium is in the same period with carbon and is to its left, so it is the larger of the two. Magnesium is below beryllium in the same group and is larger. The order of increasing size is $C<Be<Mg$.

(b) Rubidium is far to the left in the same period as iodine and is largest; bromine is above iodine and is the smallest: $Br<I<R$.

~~ 8. This is an isoelectronic series of ions, with all ions having 18 electrons. In such a series, size decreases as the charge of the ion increases. The atomic numbers of the ions are $S$ (16), $Cl$ (17), $K$ (19) and $Ca(20)$. Thus, the ions decrease in size in the order : $S^{2-}>Cl^{-}>K^{+}>Ca^{2+}$.

~~ 9. $Mg^{2+}<Na^{+}<F^{-}<O^{2-}<N^{3-}$ In a group ionic radii increases as the atomic number increases. In a period ionic radii decreases as we move from left to right.

~~ 10. The valence configuration of the alkaline earth metals is $n s^{2}$. For the process

$ M(g)+e^{-} \longrightarrow M^{-}(g) $

where $M$ denotes a member of the Group IIA family the extra electron to be added must enter the outer most $S$-subshell but elements of group IIA have general electronic configuration of $ns^{2}$. Thus s-subshell is completely filled means there is no vacancy for electron to be added. Therefore for IIA elements $EA=0$.
