Concept Introduction:
▸ Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors.
▸ Lewis bases are electron pair donors.
▸ The valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory predicts the arrangement of atoms in molecules and ions.
▸
▸ They can act as nucleophiles and electrophiles in organic reactions.
▸ Amines can be classified into three categories: primary amines, secondary amines, and tertiary amines.
▸ If the nitrogen atom is directly attached to only one other carbon atom, the amine is a primary amine.
▸ If the nitrogen atom is directly attached to two other carbon atoms, the amine is a secondary amine.
▸ If the nitrogen atom is directly attached to three other carbon atoms, the amine is a tertiary amine.
▸ Higher the electron density around the nitrogen atom, more available is the electron pair to donate. Electron donors are Lewis bases.
▸ The reaction is Lewis acid- base reaction. The trimethyl amine donates a pair of electrons, so it acts as a Lewis base and
▸ Hybridization is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals which are suitable for pairing of electrons to form
▸ Hybrid orbitals are very useful in the explanation of molecular geometry.
▸ A trigonal planar geometry has
▸ A tetrahedral geometry has
▸ When one s-orbital and one p-orbital combine, it forms two
▸ When one s-orbital and two p-orbital combine, it forms three
▸ When one s-orbital and three p-orbital combine, it forms four

- Question: How does the concept of aromaticity manifest in non-planar molecules, and how does it impact their stability and reactivity?arrow_forwardGive only typing answer with explanation and conclusion name the following compounds.Then draw the compound and one isomer of each compund.arrow_forwardUsing the concept of aromaticity and resonance, determine which of the following compounds has the greatest dipole moment. Explain your selectionarrow_forward
- Image below, Why is this not a constructual isomer?arrow_forwardGive a clear handwritten answer with explanation...give detailed answer.....given below some options in which choose the best answer that converts the bond line diagram below the given structure.arrow_forwardPlease answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. Identification of Functional GroupsFunctional Groups of Classes of Organic Compounds.*Encircle the functional groups**For phenols and aryl halides, include the aromatic ring. For alcohols and alkyl halides, just encircle the –OH of –X group.arrow_forward
- Is the following compound aromatic? explain / describe comprehensivelyarrow_forwardI am confused as to how to do this problem. Does the double bond change anything?arrow_forwardThe calicene molecule has a different dipolar moment of 0 and also thedipole points to the larger ring. Draw a structure resonance where you can see that distribution of loads and using the concept of aromaticity and resonance structures, explain why the moment dipolarit's different from zeroarrow_forward
