1.2 Structural Theory
• Atoms that are most commonly bonded to carbon
include N, O, H, and halides (F, Cl, Br, I).
• With some exceptions, each element generally forms
a specific number of bonds with other atoms
• Practice with SkillBuilder 1.1

Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.3 Atomic Structure
• A review from General Chemistry
– Protons (+1) and neutrons (neutral) reside in the nucleus
– Electrons (-1) reside outside the nucleus.
– Some electrons are close to the nucleus and others are far
away.
– Look at carbon for example. Which electrons are the valence
electrons?
– Why are valence electrons important?

1-8
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.3 Counting Valence Electrons
• You can always calculate the number of valence
electron by analyzing the e- configuration.
• Or, for Group A elements only, just look at the Group
number (Roman Numeral) on the periodic table
• Practice with SkillBuilder 1.2
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.3 Simple Lewis Structures
• For simple Lewis Structures…
1. Draw the individual atoms using dots to represent the
valence electrons.
2. Put the atoms together so they share PAIRS of electrons to
make complete octets. WHAT is an octet?
• Take NH3, for example…

Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.4 Formal Charge
• What term do we use to describe atoms with an
unbalanced or FORMAL charge?
• How does formal charge affect the stability of an atom?
• Atoms in molecules (sharing electrons) can also have
unbalanced charge, which must be analyzed, because it
affects stability
• To calculate FORMAL charge for an atom, compare the
number of valence electrons that should be associated
with the atom to the number of valence electrons that
are actually associated with an atom
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-12
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.4 Formal Charge
• Consider the formal charge example below. Calculate the
formal charge on each atom.
or
• Carbon should have 4 valence electrons, because it is in
group IVA on the periodic table.
• Carbon actually has 8 valence electrons. It needs 8 for
its octet, but only 4 count towards its charge. WHY?
• The 4 it actually has balance out the 4 it should have, so
it does not have formal charge. Its neutral.
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-13
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.4 Formal Charge
• Analyze the formal charge of the oxygen atom.
or
• Oxygen should have 6 valence electrons, because it is in
group VIA on the periodic table.
• It actually has 8 valence electrons. It needs 8 for its
octet, but only 7 count towards its charge. WHY?
• If it actually has 7, but it should only have 6, what is its
formal charge?
• Practice with SkillBuilder 1.4

1.5 Polar Covalent Bonds
• Covalent bonds are electrons pairs that exist in an orbital
shared between two atoms. What do you think that
orbital looks like?
• Just like an atomic orbital, the electrons could be
anywhere within that orbital region.
• What factors determine which atom in the bond will
attract the shared electrons more?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-15
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.5 Polar Covalent Bonds
• Covalent bonds are either polar or nonpolar
– Nonpolar Covalent –bonded atoms share electrons evenly
– Polar Covalent – One of the atoms attracts electrons more than
the other
• Electronegativity - how strongly an atom attracts shared
electrons
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-16
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.5 Polar Covalent Bonds
• Electrons tend to shift away from lower electronegativity
atoms to higher electronegativity atoms.
• The greater the difference in electronegativity, the more
polar the bond.

1-19
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.6 Atomic Orbitals
General Chemistry review
• The type or orbital be identified by its shape
• An orbital is a region where there is a calculated 90%
probability of finding an electron. The remaining 10%
probability tapers off as you move away from the
nucleus
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-20
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.6 Atomic Orbitals
• Electrons behave as both particles and waves. How can
they be BOTH? Maybe the theory is not yet complete
• The theory does match experimental data, and it has
predictive capability.
– Like a wave on a lake, an electron’s wavefunction can be (+), (–
), or ZERO.
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-21
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.6 Atomic Orbitals
• Because they are generated
mathematically from wavefunctions,
orbital regions can also be (–), (+), or
ZERO
– The sign of the wave function has nothing
to do with electrical charge.
• In this p-orbital, there is a nodal plane.
The sign of the wavefunction will be
important when we look at orbital
overlapping in bonds.

electrons in it. Why can’t it fit more?
• The 2s orbital is filled next. The 2s
orbital has a node. WHERE?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

1-28
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.8 Molecular Orbital Theory
• Atomic orbital wavefunctions
overlap to form MOs that
extend over the entire
molecule.
• MOs are a more complete
analysis of bonds, because
they include both constructive
and destructive interference.
• The number of MOs created
must be equal to the number
of AOs that were used.
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-29

1-30
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.8 Molecular Orbital Theory
• Imagine a He2 molecule. How would its MOs compare to
those for H2?
• How would the energy of the
He2 compare to 2 He?
• Why does Helium exist in its
atomic form rather than in
molecular form?
• In general, if a molecule has all of its bonding and
antibonding MOs occupied, will it be stable or unstable?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-31
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.8 Molecular Orbital Theory

1-34
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.9 Hybridized Atomic Orbitals
• To make methane, the C atom must have 4 atomic
orbitals available for overlapping
• If an electron is excited from the 2s to the 2p, will that
make it suitable for making methane?
• If four H atoms were to come in and overlap with the 2s
and 2p orbitals, what geometry would the resulting
methane have?

1.11 Molecular Polarity
• Electronegativity Differences cause induction
• Induction (shifting of electrons WITHIN their orbitals)
results in a dipole moment.
• Dipole moment = (the amount of partial charge) x (the
distance the δ+ and δ- are separated)
• Dipole moments are reported in units of debye (D)
• 1 debye = 10-18 esu ∙ cm
– An esu is a unit of charge. 1 e- has a charge of 4.80 x 10-10 esu
– cm are included in the unit, because the distance between the
centers of + and – charges affects the dipole
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-59
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.11 Molecular Polarity
• Consider the dipole for CH3Cl
• Dipole moment (μ) = charge (e) x distance (d)
– Plug in the charge and distance
• μ = (1.056 x 10-10 esu) x (1.772 x 10-8 cm)
– Note that the amount of charge separation is
less than what it would be if it were a full
charge separation (4.80 x 10-10 esu)
• μ = 1.87 x 10-18 esu ∙ cm
– Convert to debye
• μ = 1.87 D

1-60
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.11 Molecular Polarity
• What would the dipole moment be if CH3Cl were 100%
ionic?
• μ = charge (e) x distance (d)
– Plug in the charge and distance
• μ = (4.80 x 10-10 esu) x (1.772 x 10-8 cm)
– The full charge of an electron is plugged in
• μ = 8.51 x 10-18 esu ∙ cm = 8.51 D
• What % of the C-Cl bond is ionic?
• Is the C-Cl bond mostly ionic or mostly
covalent?

Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-63
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.11 Molecular Polarity
• For molecules with multiple polar bonds, the dipole
moment is the vector sum of all of the individual bond
dipoles

1-64
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.11 Molecular Polarity
• It is important to determine a molecule’s geometry
FIRST before analyzing its polarity
• If you have not drawn the molecule with the proper
geometry, it may cause you to assess the polarity wrong
as well

1.12 Intermolecular Forces
• Many properties such as solubility, boiling point, density,
state of matter, melting point, etc. are affected by the
attractions BETWEEN molecules
• Neutral molecules (polar and nonpolar) are attracted to
one another through…
– Dipole-dipole interactions
– Hydrogen bonding
– Dispersion forces (a.k.a. London forces or fleeting dipoledipole forces)
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.12 Dipole-Dipole
• Dipole-dipole forces result when polar molecules line up
their opposite charges.
• Note acetone’s permanent dipole results from the
difference in electronegativity between C and O
• The dipole-dipole attractions BETWEEN acetone
molecules affects acetone’s boiling and melting points.

Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.12 Hydrogen Bonding
• Hydrogen bonds are an especially strong type of dipoledipole attraction
• Hydrogen bonds are strong because the partial + and –
charges are relatively large
• Why are the partial charges in the H-bonding examples
below relatively large?
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-72
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.12 Hydrogen Bonding
• Only when a hydrogen shares electrons with a highly
electronegative atom (O, N, F) will it carry a large partial
positive charge
• The large δ+ on the H atom can attract large δ– charges
on other molecules
• Even with the large partial charges, H-bonds are still
about 20 times weaker than covalent bonds
• Compounds with H atoms that are capable of forming Hbonds are called protic

Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.12 London Dispersion Forces
• If two molecules are nonpolar (dipole = 0 D), will they
attract one another?
– YES! HOW?
• Nonpolar molecules normally have their electrons (–)
spread out evenly around the nuclei (+) completely
balancing the charge
• However, the electrons are in constant random motion
within their MOs
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-77
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.12 London Dispersion Forces
• The constant random motion of the electrons in the
molecule will sometimes produce an electron
distribution that is NOT evenly balanced with the
positive charge of the nuclei
• Such uneven distribution produces a temporary dipole,
which can induce a temporary dipole in a neighboring
molecule
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-78
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.12 London Dispersion Forces
• The result is a fleeting attraction between the two
molecules
• Such fleeting attractions are generally weak.
• But like any weak attraction, if there are enough of
them, they can add up to a lot
Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
1-79
Klein, Organic Chemistry 2e
1.12 London Dispersion Forces
• The greater the surface area of a molecule, the more
temporary dipole attractions are possible
• Consider the feet of Gecko. They have many flexible
hairs on their feet that maximize surface contact
• The resulting London dispersion forces are
strong enough to support the weight of the
Gecko

compounds
– If the compounds mixing are all capable of H-bonding and/or
strong dipole-dipole, then there is no reason why they
shouldn’t mix
• Nonpolar compounds generally mix well with other
nonpolar compounds
– If none of the compounds are capable of forming strong
attractions, then no strong attractions would have to be
broken to allow them to mix

• We know it is difficult to get a polar compound (like
water) to mix with a nonpolar compound (like oil)
– We can’t use just water to wash oil off our dirty cloths
• To remove nonpolar oils, grease, and dirt, we need soap
