Organic compounds are derived from or produced by living organisms and have carbon-hydrogen covalent bonds.
Inorganic compounds are derived from nonliving components, and generally have ionic bonds, lack carbon-hydrogen bonds, and rarely, if ever, contain any carbon atoms.
Carbon -" King of all Elements"
Group IV, Period ll
Carbon Allotropes:
Graphite - softest allotrope of C
Diamond - hardest allotrope of C
ActivatedCharcoal -pure carbon
Carbon is Tetravalent
Hybridization - Mixing of 2 or more non-equivalent atomic to form a new set of equivalent hybrid orbitals.
SP3 HYBRIDIZATION OF CARBON
When the carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms the hybridization is said to be sp' type. Here 1 s orbital and 3 p orbitals in the same shell of an atom combine to form four new equivalent orbitals. The arrangement is tetrahedral with a bond angle of 109.5 °.
Example: Hybridization of CH, (Methane)
SP2 HYBRIDIZATION OF CARBON
A carbon atom is sp2 hybridized when bonding takes place between 1 s-orbital with two p orbitals. There is a formation of twosingle bonds and one double bond between three atoms. The hybrid orbitals are placed in a triangular arrangement with 120* angles between bonds.
Example: Hybridization of graphite
SP HYBRIDIZATION OF CARBON
Carbon can have an sp hybridization when it is bound to two other atoms with the help of two double bonds or one single and one triple bond. When the hybridization occurs the molecules have a linear arrangement of the atoms with a bond angle of 180 °.
Example: CO2
CATENATION
Ability to form bond with itself
Ability to form open-ended (straight) chain and close ended (ring) chain.
Stereochemistry
the 'chemistry of space', that is
deals with the spatial arrangements of atoms and groups in a molecule.
FORCES OF ATTRACTION
When the molecules interact, both repulsive and attractive forces operate in equilibrium for the stability of the molecule.
necessary for the molecules and atoms to cohere, whereas repulsiveforces act to prevent molecules from interpenetrating and annihilating each other.
Repulsion increases exponentially as the distance between atoms or molecules.
TWO TYPES OF FORCES OF ATTRACTION
INTRAMOLECULAR FORCES
Forces that hold atoms together within a molecule
lonic, covalent,metallicbond
2. INTERMOLECULAR FORCES
forces that hold molecules together as they exist as aggregates. vanderWaals,ion-dipole, ion-induceddipole,hydrogenbonding
INTRA: inside the molecule
INTER: between 2 molecules
INTRAMOLECULAR FORCES
IONIC BOND
complete transfer of valence electron between atoms; occurs between metal and a nonmetal.
COVALENT BOND
sharing of pair of electrons by atoms to gain more stability; occurs between nonmetals.
METALLIC BOND
sharing of free electrons among a structure of positively charged ions; occurs between m
INTRAMOLECULAR FORCES: COVALENT
BONDS
Polar covalent bond
shared electronsbetween atoms are not equally shared.
Nonpolar covalent bond
Equal sharing of electrons between atoms.
INTERMOLCULAR FORCES
van der Waals Forces
Keesom
attraction between 2permanent dipoles
alignment or orientation effect
when one dipole interacts with another dipole, the partially positive side of the one molecule interacts with and orients the partially negative side of another molecule.
INTERMOLCULAR FORCES
van der Waals Forces
DEBYE
attraction between a permanent dipole and transient dipole
induction effect
a permanent dipole can induce polarizability of a nonpolar molecule by disturbing the even distribution of charge. The partially positive side of a permanent dipole will attract the electrons of a nonpolar molecule to induce a dipole
INTERMOLCULAR FORCES
van der Waals Forces
LONDON
temporary attraction between 2 induced or transient dipoles
dispersion effect
there are instances when electrons of a nonpolar molecule will accumulate to one side of the molecule thereby inducing a dipole. Surrounding nonpolar molecules are then influenced by the induced dipole.

INTERMOLCULAR FORCES
ION-DIPOLEFORCE
• attraction of polar molecules to positively and/or negatively charged ions
Ion-dipole Forces Examples
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Dissolved in Water (H,°)
INTERMOLCULAR FORCES
ION-INDUCEDDIPOLEFORCE
• attraction of nopolar molecules to positively and/or negatively charged ions. The charged ions will disturb the distribution of charge in a nonpolar compound thereby inducing a temporary dipole.
INTERMOLCULAR FORCES
HYDROGENBONDING
• electrostatic attraction of H with highly electronegative atoms (F, O, N). Hydrogen bonds are formed between polar molecules
