1. Hybridization and Molecular Geometry (संकरण और ज्यामिति)
-
Hybridization of Carbon:
- $sp^3$ Hybridization: 4 $\sigma$ bonds | Shape: Tetrahedral | Bond Angle: $109.5^\circ$ (e.g., Methane $\text{CH}_4$)
- $sp^2$ Hybridization: 3 $\sigma$ bonds + 1 $\pi$ bond | Shape: Trigonal Planar | Bond Angle: $120^\circ$ (e.g., Ethene $\text{C}_2\text{H}_4$)
- $sp$ Hybridization: 2 $\sigma$ bonds + 2 $\pi$ bonds | Shape: Linear | Bond Angle: $180^\circ$ (e.g., Ethyne $\text{C}_2\text{H}_2$)
-
Formula for Number of $\sigma$ and $\pi$ bonds:
- Single bond = $1\sigma$ bond
- Double bond = $1\sigma + 1\pi$ bond
- Triple bond = $1\sigma + 2\pi$ bonds
2. IUPAC Nomenclature Basics (आईयूपीएसी नामकरण)
$$\text{IUPAC Name} = \text{Secondary Prefix} + \text{Primary Prefix} + \text{Root Word} + \text{Primary Suffix} + \text{Secondary Suffix}$$
- Root Word: Chain length ($C_1 = \text{meth-}, C_2 = \text{eth-}, C_3 = \text{prop-}, C_4 = \text{but-}$, etc.)
- Primary Suffix: Saturation/Unsaturation (
-anefor single,-enefor double,-ynefor triple bond) - Secondary Suffix: Main functional group
- Prefix: Substituents / Side chains / Cyclic nature (
cyclo-)
Priority Order of Functional Groups (Decreasing Order):
$$-\text{COOH} > -\text{SO}_3\text{H} > -\text{COOR} > -\text{COCl} > -\text{CONH}_2 > -\text{CN} > -\text{CHO} > >\text{C=O} > -\text{OH} > -\text{NH}_2 > >\text{C=C}< > -\text{C}\equiv\text{C}-$$
3. Isomerism (समावयवता)
- Structural Isomerism (संरचनात्मक समावयवता):
- Chain Isomerism: Carbon skeleton differs.
- Position Isomerism: Position of functional group/double bond/triple bond differs.
- Functional Isomerism: Same molecular formula, different functional groups (e.g., Alcohol & Ether).
- Metamerism: Unequal distribution of alkyl groups around a polyvalent functional group (e.g., Ethers, Amines).
- Stereoisomerism (त्रिविम समावयवता): Same bonding sequence, different spatial arrangement (Geometrical & Optical).
4. Electronic Displacement Effects (इलेक्ट्रॉनिक प्रभाव)
| Effect | Nature | Key Feature / Driving Force |
|---|---|---|
| Inductive Effect ($I$-effect) | Permanent | Transmission of $\sigma$-electron density along a carbon chain. |
| Resonance Effect ($R$ or $M$-effect) | Permanent | Delocalization of $\pi$-electrons or lone pair electrons. |
| Hyperconjugation | Permanent | Delocalization of $\sigma$-electrons of $\text{C}-\text{H}$ bond with adjacent $\pi$-system / empty p-orbital ($\alpha$-hydrogens). |
| Electromeric Effect ($E$-effect) | Temporary | Complete transfer of $\pi$-electron pair in the presence of an attacking reagent. |
- $+I$ Power: $-\text{C(CH}_3)_3 > -\text{CH(CH}_3)_2 > -\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_3 > -\text{CH}_3$
- $-I$ Power: $-\text{NO}_2 > -\text{CN} > -\text{COOH} > -\text{F} > -\text{Cl} > -\text{Br} > -\text{I} > -\text{OCH}_3 > -\text{OH}$
5. Reaction Intermediates & Stability Orders (अभिक्रिया मध्यवर्ती)
-
Carbocation ($R^+$) — $sp^2$ hybridized, planar: $$\text{Stability Order: } \text{Tertiary } (3^\circ) > \text{Secondary } (2^\circ) > \text{Primary } (1^\circ) > \text{CH}_3^+$$
-
Free Radical ($R^\bullet$) — $sp^2$ hybridized, planar: $$\text{Stability Order: } \text{Tertiary } (3^\circ) > \text{Secondary } (2^\circ) > \text{Primary } (1^\circ) > \text{CH}_3^\bullet$$
-
Carbanion ($R^-$) — $sp^3$ hybridized, pyramidal: $$\text{Stability Order: } \text{CH}_3^- > \text{Primary } (1^\circ) > \text{Secondary } (2^\circ) > \text{Tertiary } (3^\circ)$$
6. Purification Methods Summary (शोधन की विधियाँ)
- Sublimation: Separates sublimable solid from non-sublimable impurity (e.g., Camphor, Naphthalene, Benzoic acid).
- Crystallisation: Based on difference in solubilities in a suitable solvent.
- Simple Distillation: Liquids with large boiling point difference ($> 25^\circ\text{C}$).
- Fractional Distillation: Liquids with small boiling point difference ($< 25^\circ\text{C}$).
- Distillation under Reduced Pressure (Vacuum Distillation): For liquids that decompose at or below their boiling point (e.g., Glycerol).
- Steam Distillation: For steam-volatile and water-immiscible substances (e.g., Aniline).
- Chromatography: Based on differential adsorption/partition between stationary and mobile phases.
7. Qualitative Analysis (गुणात्मक विश्लेषण)
Sodium Fusion Extract (Lassaigne's Test) Formations:
- Nitrogen: $6\text{NaCN} + \text{FeSO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Na}_4[\text{Fe(CN)}_6]$
- Add $\text{Fe}^{3+}$ $\rightarrow$ Prussian Blue Color ($\text{Fe}_4[\text{Fe(CN)}_6]_3$)
- Sulfur: $\text{S}^{2-} + \text{Sodium Nitroprusside} \rightarrow$ Violet / Purple color ($\text{[Fe(CN)}_5\text{NOS]}^{4-}$)
- Halogens: Treat extract with dilute $\text{HNO}_3$ then $\text{AgNO}_3$:
- White ppt (soluble in $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$): Chlorine ($\text{AgCl}$)
- Pale yellow ppt (sparingly soluble in $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$): Bromine ($\text{AgBr}$)
- Yellow ppt (insoluble in $\text{NH}_4\text{OH}$): Iodine ($\text{AgI}$)
8. Quantitative Analysis Formulas (मात्रात्मक विश्लेषण के सूत्र)
A. Carbon and Hydrogen (Liebig's Combustion Method)
-
Percentage of Carbon: $$% \text{ C} = \frac{12}{44} \times \frac{\text{Mass of } \text{CO}_2 \text{ formed (g)}}{\text{Mass of Organic Compound (g)}} \times 100$$
-
Percentage of Hydrogen: $$% \text{ H} = \frac{2}{18} \times \frac{\text{Mass of } \text{H}_2\text{O} \text{ formed (g)}}{\text{Mass of Organic Compound (g)}} \times 100$$
B. Nitrogen Estimation
-
1. Dumas Method: $$% \text{ N} = \frac{28}{22400} \times \frac{V_1 \text{ (Volume of } \text{N}_2 \text{ at STP in mL)}}{\text{Mass of Organic Compound (g)}} \times 100$$
- To convert $V$ at experimental temp ($T_1$) and pressure ($P_1$) to STP ($V_1$): $$\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_0 V_0}{T_0} \implies V_0 (\text{at STP}) = \frac{(P - p) \times V \times 273}{760 \times T}$$ (where $p$ = aqueous tension)
-
2. Kjeldahl Method: $$% \text{ N} = \frac{1.4 \times N \times V}{\text{Mass of Organic Compound (g)}}$$
- $N$ = Normality of neutralized standard acid
- $V$ = Volume of standard acid neutralized by ammonia (in mL)
- (If Molarity $M$ is used for $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$: $N = 2 \times M$)
C. Halogens (Carius Method)
$$% \text{ Halogen} = \frac{\text{Atomic Mass of Halogen}}{\text{Molar Mass of AgX}} \times \frac{\text{Mass of AgX formed (g)}}{\text{Mass of Organic Compound (g)}} \times 100$$
- For $\text{Cl}$: $\text{Molar Mass of AgCl} = 143.5 \text{ g/mol}$
- For $\text{Br}$: $\text{Molar Mass of AgBr} = 188 \text{ g/mol}$
- For $\text{I}$: $\text{Molar Mass of AgI} = 235 \text{ g/mol}$
D. Sulphur (Carius Method)
$$% \text{ S} = \frac{32}{233} \times \frac{\text{Mass of } \text{BaSO}_4 \text{ formed (g)}}{\text{Mass of Organic Compound (g)}} \times 100$$
E. Phosphorus
$$% \text{ P} = \frac{62}{222} \times \frac{\text{Mass of } \text{Mg}_2\text{P}_2\text{O}_7 \text{ formed (g)}}{\text{Mass of Organic Compound (g)}} \times 100$$
Alternative (as Ammonium Phosphomolybdate): $$% \text{ P} = \frac{31}{1877} \times \frac{\text{Mass of } (\text{NH}_4)_3\text{PO}_4\cdot 12\text{MoO}_3 \text{ formed (g)}}{\text{Mass of Organic Compound (g)}} \times 100$$
F. Oxygen
$$% \text{ O} = 100 - \left( % \text{ C} + % \text{ H} + % \text{ N} + % \text{ Halogens/S/P} \right)$$
