catenation-✓✓ability of carbon atoms to bond with each other to form chains
hybridisation formula-✓✓steric number = sum of sigma bonds + lone pairs
relation of hybridisation and bond lengths-✓✓more s character, closer to nucleus,
forms shorter and stronger bonds
relation of hybridisation and electronegativity-✓✓greater s character of hybrid
orbitals, greater the electronegativity
which is more electronegative? carbon with sp/sp3 hybridisation-✓✓sp 50% s
character
which is more reactive, pi or sigma?-✓✓pi bond because the electrons are easily
available to the attacking reagents as the electron cloud lie above and below the
plane of bounding atoms
note: shape and hybridisation is found out by steric number-✓✓
note: mostly CO is C double bond O-✓✓
classification of organic compounds-✓✓aliphatic or open chain & cyclic or closed
chained
cyclic → alicyclic & aromatic
aniline-✓✓benzene with NH2

rules i need to note-✓✓- lower number is given to that substituent group coming first in the alphabetical order

  • in alphabetical order, iso and neo are considered but sec and tert are not
  • careful when naming alkyl groups
  • in cyclic compounds, more branched carbon gets lower order
  • for naming benzene compounds, numbering is chosen such that the next substitute t group gets the lowest number possible order of decreasing priority in functional groups-✓✓-COOH -SO3H -COOR -COCl -CONH -CN -HC=O >C=O -OH -NH >C=C< -C≡C- prefixes -NO -X -R -H5C halides prefix-✓✓chloro, bromo, etc. alcohol prefix and suffix-✓✓hydroxy- and -ol aldehydes prefix and suffix-✓✓oxo- -al ketone prefix and suffix-✓✓oxo- -one nitriles prefix and suffix -C≡N-✓✓cyano nitrile ethers prefix -R-O-R--✓✓alkoxy carboxylic acid prefix and suffix-✓✓carboxy- -oic acid carboxylate ion suffix-✓✓-oate esters prefix and suffix -COOR-✓✓alkoxycarbonyl- -oate

a profile about carbocations-✓✓carbocations are highly unstable and reactive species trigonal planar in shape C+ sp2 hybridised a profile about carbanions-✓✓carbanions are highly unstable and reactive species distorted tetrahedral in shape C- is sp3 hybridised homolytic cleavage-✓✓When the bond breaks, each atom gets one electron, and becomes free radicals stability order of free radicals-✓✓methylC=O, alkyl haloes R-X inductive effect-✓✓the polarisation of σ bond caused by the polarisation of adjacent σ bond is called inductive effect inductive effect is inversely proportional to-✓✓number of intervening bonds electron withdrawing groups-✓✓halogens, -NO2, -CN, -COOH, COOR electron donating group-✓✓-CH3, -CH2-CH3, -OH, -NH2, -R, -OR the energy of resonance hybrid-✓✓lower than the energy of any contributing canonical structures resonance energy-✓✓difference between the energy of the resonance hybrid and the energy of the most stable (lowest energy) canonical structure -I effect-✓✓electron withdrawing group effect +I effect-✓✓electron donating group effect resonance effect-✓✓Polarity produced in a molecule from interaction of π-bonds or lone pairs.

+R effect-✓✓the transfer of electrons is away from the substituent group attachéd to the conjugated system +R substituent groups-✓✓halogen, -OH, -OR, OCOR, -NH2, -NHR, -NR2, NHCOR lone pair is necessary -R substituent groups-✓✓-COOH, -CHO, -NO2, -CN, >C=O the presence of alternate single/double bond in an open chain or cyclic system- ✓✓conjured system electromeric effect-✓✓Temporary displacement of π electrons of the multiple bond during reagent attack conditions for electromeric effect-✓✓1. multiple bond

  1. commando attacking reagent +E effect-✓✓π electrons are transferred to that atom to which the reagent attaches -E effect-✓✓π electrons are transferred to that atom to which reagent doesn't attach when inductive and electromeric effect operates in opposite directions, which predominates?-✓✓electromeric effect which is more electronegative N or O?-✓✓O how to find the most polar bond?-✓✓C-highest EN, that bond is more polar which resonance structure will be more stable?-✓✓the one which has more covalent bond no charge separation everyone is in octet hyperconjugation-✓✓a permanent effect of delocalization of σ electrons of C-H bond by the overlap of a sigma orbital with an empty p orbital hyperconjugation depends on-✓✓greater the number of alkyl carbons attached to a positive carbon atom, greater the hyperconjugation why is (CH3)3C+ more stable than other carbocations?-✓✓due to hyperconjugation common techniques of purification-✓✓sublimation, distillation, crystallisation, differential extraction, chromatography sublimation separates-✓✓sublimable compounds from non sublimable impurities
