Short answer

1. The boiling point of H2O (100°C) is much higher than that of HF (–883°C) even though they both form H bonds and have similar molecular weights. Explain

1. One molecular of HF H bonds at most with two other molecules but each H2O molecules contributes both H fro H bonding with the O’s of two other molecules and uses its O for H bonding with an H of a third molecule.

GENERAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

1. Hetrolytic fission of covalent bond produces charged species.

2. Homolytic fission of covalent bond produces free radicals having a single odd unpaired electron.

3. The ionic intermediate carrying a positive change at the central carbon atom is called carbonium ion in which carbon atom has 6 electrons (deficient of electron). The central atom of carbon in carbonium ion is sp2 hybridized (planar). The intermediate in which central carbon atom is negatively charged is called carbanion, which has unshared pair of electron at the central carbon atom. A carbanion is isoelectronic with an amine and is sp3 hybridized (pyramidal).

4. The stability of carbonium ion follows the order, tertiary > secondary > primary > methyl carbonium ion.

5. The stability of carbanion follows the reverse order, i.e. methyl > primary > secondary > tertiary carbanion ion.

6. Decreasing order of these carbanions is : Triphenyl methyl > Diphenyl methyl > Benzyl carbanion.

7. Free radicals are odd electron species and may regarded as having planar configuration analogous to carbonium ion or a pyramidal structure similar to carbanion, which is capable of rapid inversion.

8. Less is the bond dissociation energy greater will be the stability of free radicals. The stability of follows the order Tertiary > Secondary > Primary > Methyl free radical. Free radicals are paramagnetic species.

9. Carbenes are neutral carbon intermediates having two non bonded electrons in sextet (the central carbon atom has six electrons). Carbenes exist in singlet and triplet states. The latter being more stable than the singlet state.

10. The process of electron shift along a chain of atoms due to the presence of polar covalent bond in it is called inductive effect. When the hetero atom is such that it attracts the electron pair towards it self, it is said to exert - I effect or electron with drawing inductive effect. When the hetero atom or group of atoms pushes the electrons away from itself, it exerts + I effect or electron releasing inductive effect. (a) inductive effect involves the permanent displacement of an electron pair in a molecule (b) presence of an attacking reagent is not essential (c) Presence of multiple bond is also not essential (d) Polarity of bond is, however, essential (e) The displaced electron pair does not leave its molecular orbital. A distortion in the shape of the molecular orbital, however, takes place. (f) in it, there is a partial charge separation and ions are formed (g) Inductive effect of an atom or group of atoms diminishes rapidly with distance and is almost negligible beyond two carbon atoms.

Page 10: chemistry tips for IIT preparation

FIITJEE

SSP34 CH-10

11. Electron releasing groups such as alkyl groups decrease the acidity, while electron withdrawing groups such as Cl, Br, OH, CN, etc increase the acidity.

12. The decreasing order of electron withdrawing inductive effect (-I effect) of certain atoms / groups is NO2 > CN > F > COOH > CI > Br > I > OCH3 > C6H6. The decreasing order of the electron releasing inductive effect of some atoms/ groups is (CH3)2 C > (CH3)2CH > C2H5 > CH3.

13. The phenomenon due to which compound is said to be hybrid of various cannonical form is called resonance. The latter includes mesomeric and inductive effect both.

14. The important points of resonance theory are:

a) When a molecule is represented by two or more structures that differ from one another in the arrangement of electrons and not the atomic nuclei, the molecule is expected to involve what is known as resonance. The molecule is the resonance hybrid of all such structures, but none of these structures presents the actual molecules. Each of these structures however contributes to the resonance hybrid.

b) Each contributing structure has the same number of unpaired electrons.

c) The greater the stability of the contributing structure, the greater will be its contributes to the hybrid

d) Resonance becomes more important when the contributing structures have almost same stability of the same energy content.

e) The resonance hybrid is more stable than any of the contributing structures. This increase in stability of the hybrid is due to resonance energy or delocalization energy.

f) Contributing structures which involve distinct charges are less stable that those which do not involve any charges

g) The greater the number of contributing structures for a hybrid molecule, the greater will be its stability.

h) The greater the number of bonds in a contributing structure, the grater will be the stability of that structure.

15. The mesomeric effect is the effect to electron redistribution that can take place in unsaturated and especially in conjugated systems via their

orbital. The effect caused by resonance in a molecule is called resonance effect (R - effect) or mesomeric effect (M - effect). It is permanent effect.

16. When groups such as - C = O, - NO2 - C

N, - COOR etc are adjacent to multiple bond they withdraw

electron from the multiple bond through R or M - effect. These groups withdraw electrons from the adjacent carbon - carbon multiple bonds and cause - R or - M effect.

Page 11: chemistry tips for IIT preparation

FIITJEE

SSP34 CH-11

17. Groups such - OH, - NH2, NHR, Cl-, I- etc which can release or donate electrons through resonance are said to cause + R or + M effect. Mesomeric effect is not common in substituted aromatic systems.

18. Electromeric Effect is a temporary effect operating only at the demand of nearby reagent and takes place in compounds containing multiple bonds such as C= O, C = C, C N etc, or atoms with a lone pair of electrons adjacent to the covalent bond. (a) Electromeric effect involves a temporary displacement of a pair of

electrons (b) The presence of an

attacking reagent is essential (c) The presence of a multiple bond (double or triple bond) is essential (d) The electron pair which is completely transferred leaves its molecular orbital and takes up a new position (e) There is a complete charge separating and ions are formed (e) When the inductive as well as electromeric effect occur together in a molecules they can assist or oppose each other. When they oppose each other, the E - Effect generally dominates over I-Effect.

19. Hyperconjugation arises from the delocalization of

electrons of an alkyl group into an adjacent

bond.

20. Conjugation dienes such as 1, 3- butadiene are mover stable than simple alkenes such as but - 1-ene. It can be explained on the basis of delocalization of electrons. In addition to conjugation, the alkyl groups attached to doubly bonded carbon atoms tend to increases the stability of alkenes. The grater the number of alkyl group attached to C = C group, the grater would be the contributing structures and hence grater would be the stability of such alkene. For example - 2 methyl propene [CH3)2 C = CH2] and but -2- ene, CH3CH = CHCH3 are more stable than propene CH3CH=CH2

22. Electrophiles are electron seeking or electron loving species. Examples are NO2+, Cl+,

H3O+, RN2

+, Ag+, CH3CH2+ and electron deficient atoms such as S in SO3 or SOCl2 etc.

Lewis acids are also electrophones, Neutral substance such as BF3, FeCl2, ZnCl2, Br2, H2O2, O3 etc containing an electron deficient atom are also electrophilie.

23. Nucleophiles are nucleus loving and electron rich species. Lewis base are all nucleophiles. Examples are OCH3

-, OH-, CN-, H-, CH3CO-, HSO4-, NH3, NH2

-, LiAlH4, RMgX etc.

24. An electron deficient electrophiles will attack at centers of high electron density in benzene ring. A nucleophilie will attack at the electron deficient centre.

25. Compounds having the same molecular formula, but different physical and chemical properties are called isomers and the phenomenon is known as isomerism. There are seven isomers of molecular formula C4H10O. Out of these four are alcohols and three are ethers. When tow or more compounds have the same molecular formula, but different carbon chains, they are called chain isomers and the phenomenon is called chain isomerism. For example, n - butane and isobutene, n-pentane and Isopentane etc are chain isomers. Position isomers differ mainly in the position of a substituents or a functional differ mainly in the nature of the functional group. For example, ethyl alcohol and dimethyl ether are functional isomers.

Page 12: chemistry tips for IIT preparation

FIITJEE

SSP34 CH-12

26. Metamers differ in the nature of alkyl groups attached to the functional group. For example C2H5OC2H5, CH3O. CH2CH2CH3 and CH3.OCH(CH3)2 are metamers. It should be noted that metamerism is not exhibited by alkenes. Tautomerism is exhibited by a compound which is a mixture of two labiled forms in dynamic equilibrium. Examples are aceto acetic ester (keto - enol Tautomerism) etc. Keto - enol Tautomerism in aldehydes and ketones is possible only when they contain at least one

- hydrogen atom.

27. Geometrical isomerism is exhibited by alkenes or compounds containing double bond. Examples are maleic acid and fumaric acid, but - 2 - ene, 2- Dichloroethylene etc.

28. In cis isomer similar groups are present on the same side and in trans isomer, they occupy opposite position.

29. Isomer which differ in the rotation of plane polarized light are called optical isomers. Optical isomerism is exhibited by compounds containing at least one chiral centre or asymmetric carbon atom. Number of possible optical isomers for a given compound may be calculated by 2n, where 'n' is the number of asymmetric carbon atoms. Asymmetry in the inner structure of an organic compound is the real cause of optical activity.

30. A chiral centre or an asymmetric carbon atom is one which is attached to four different atoms or groups.

31. Compounds that rotate the plane polarized light to the right tare called dextro rotatory (+) compounds and those that rotate the plane polarized light to the left are called leavo rotaotry (-) compounds.

32. Optical activity is measured by polar meter. Optical isomers of a compound are nonsuperimposable. A mixture of 50 % dextro rotatory and 50% leavo rotatory compounds is called racemic micture, which is optically inactive because of external compensation. A meso form is inactive (e.g. mesotartaric acid) because of internal compensation.

33. The optical isomers that are mirror images of each other are called enantiomers or enantiomorphism or enantiomorphs. For example d - and l-lactic acid. The optical isomers of a substance which are not mirror images of each other are called diastereomers.

a) When the molecule is unsymmetrical (when it can not be divided into equal halves), then No. of d- and - I isomers (a) =2n

No of meso forms (m) = 0 Total no. of optical isomers = (a+m)=2n

b) When the molecule is symmetrical and has even number of asymmetric carbon atom, then No. of d - and I - isomers (a) = 2(n-1)

No of meso forms (m) = 2(n/2-1)

Total no. of optical isomers = (a+m)

Page 13: chemistry tips for IIT preparation

FIITJEE

SSP34 CH-13

c) When the molecules is symmetrical and has odd number of asymmetric carbon atoms, then No. of d- and - I - isomers (a) = 2(n-1) -2(n-1/2)

No. of meso forms (m) = 2(n-1/2)

Total no. of optical isomers = (a+m) = 2(n-1).

HYDROCARBONS

1. Alkanes can be prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of alkenes and alkynes (unsaturated hydrocarbons) in presence of catalysts like Ni, Pd etc. If catalytic hydrogenation is carried out in presence of Raney Ni(Sabatier Sanderen's reaction), the reaction is possible , even at room temperature, because the energy of activation of the reaction is much decreased in presence of Raney nickel.

2. Alkanes are also prepared by the reduction of aldehydes and ketones by zinc-amalgam and conc. HCl. The reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alkanes by hydrazine and NaOH solution is known as Wolff Kishner reduction.

3. Carboxylic acids, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and alkyl halides can also be reduced to corresponding alkanes using red phosphorus and HI at about 200

- 250 C

4. Decarboxylation is also achieved by Kolbe's process, which consists in electrolysing sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids in concentrated solution. The anode reactions in Kolbe's synthesis are

RCOO-

RCOO

R

+ CO2 R

+ R

R – R The cathode reaction in Kolbe's syntheses is 2H+ + 2e-

H2

5. A molecule is expected to be reactive if it has (a) Polar covalent bond (b) Multiple bond (c) Lone pair of electrons (d) Electron deficient central atom. The alkanes or paraffins do not satisfy any of these conditions and in addition have strong C - C and C - H sigma bonds. These are inert under ordinary conditions. Thus alkanes are very unreactive and called paraffins.

6. When alkanes are heated, the C - C bond rather than C - H bonds are broken. This is due to the fact that C - C bond have lower bonds energy than the C - H bond energy. The bonds with lower bond energy are broken more easily.

7. Alkenes can be prepared by elimination reaction such as dehydrohalogenation of alkyl halides and these elimination reactions follow Saytzeff's rule, according to which hydrogen atom is preferentially removed in elimination from that carbon atom which has least number of hydrogen atom. The reactivity of halides towards dehydrohalogenation follows the order iodides > Bromides > Chlorides. Alkenes are formed by the dehydration of alcohols. The common dehydration agents are H2SO4, P2O5, ZnCl2 etc. Electrolysis of sodium or potassium salts of succinic acid in concentrated aqueous solution gives ethylene at the anode.

8. The reactivity of hydrogen halides towards an alkene follows the order HI > HBr > HCl, and reactivity of alkenes towards hydrogen halides (HX) increases as the number of carbon atoms in the alkene increases. Butene > Propene > Ethene

9. The detection of unsaturation in an organic compound can be carried out by adding alkaline KMnO4 solution, the pink colour of which is decolourised in the presence of unsaturation. 1% alkaline KMnO4 solution is known as Baeyer's regent.

10. Reaction which takes place by addition usually proceed much more readily than those which require replacement of one atom by another as in displacement reactions.

11. The outstanding chemical property of an olefin is its ability of undergo addition reactions and possible displacement reactions are of minor importance. In fact, they are generally called side reactions. Olefinic double bonds behave as nucleophilic substances in their addition reactions. They combine readily with electrophilic reagents such as strong acids (H+), halogens and oxidising agent. They fail to combine with other nucleophilic reagents such as base and Grignard reagents. The addition usually takes place stepwise in which an electrophilic agent initiates the reaction by sharing the

electrons to form a new bond. Hydrogenation of alkenes is the basis of an analytical method for the determination of double bonds. In petroleum industry the process is reversed by using heat (cracking) so as to produce olefins from saturated substances.

12. The net effect of oxidation of an Olefin with KMnO4 involves (a) Cleavage of the molecule at the double bond with the appearance of two C = O groups (b) If there is any hydrogen attached to either of the initially doubly carbon atoms, it is oxidised to -OH (c) If only carbon - to - carbon bonds are present, these remain unaffected.

13. The relative stabilities of alkenes are related to their heats of hydrogenations. The amount of heat evolved when one mole of an unsaturated compound is hydrogenated is called heat of hydrogenation. Almost every alkene has the heat of hydrogenation of about 125 kJ mol-1 for each double bond present in one mole of the alkene. For example, heat of hydrogenations of unsaturated alkenes, CH2 = CH2, RCH=CH2

RCH=CHR or R2C=CH2 and R2C=CHR are about 134, 125, 117 and 113 kJ mol-1

respectively. 1-butene, cis - 2- butene and trans -2- butene yield the same product, n-butane on hydrogenation, but they have different heats of hydrogenations. So these alkene are expected to have different energies and hence different stabilities. An alkene having lower heat of hydrogenation must have less energy and greater stability than its isomer. In general, lower the heat of hydrogenation of an alkene, greater is its stability. On this basis, the stabilities of some alkene follow the order the order: 2-methyl but-2-ene > Trans - but - ene > 2-methyl but-1-ene > cis - but-2-ene > propene > but-1- ene > ethene. The heats of hydrogenation of the above alkenes are 112.1 115.5, 119.2, 119.6, 125.9, 126.8 and 137.2 kJ mol-1 respectively. The greater the number of alkyl groups attached to the doubly bonded carbon atoms, the more stable is the alkene. In general, alkenes follows the following decreasing order of stability.

R2C = CR 2 > R2C = CHR

> R2C = CH2, RCH = CHR

> RCH = CH2 > CH2 = CH2

This order can be explained in terms of Hyperconjugation. The greater the degree of substation in an alkene, the number of hyperconjugative forms and greater is the stability.

14. The acidic nature of H-atom present at the end of the triple bonded carbon atom is due to the higher electronegativity of the sp- hybridised carbon. Acidic hydrogen is present in 1- alkynes, but not in 2- alkynes and hence 1-alkynes can be distinguished from 2- alkynes by the reaction of acidic hydrogen in 1- alkynes. Acetylene has unpleasant garlic odour due to the presence of minute amounts of PH3, H2S etc. in it. Acetylene is transported by dissolved in acetone because it becomes explosive above 2 atmosphere pressures. Electrolysis of an aqueous solution of sodium of potassium salt of maleic acid or fumaric acid produces acetylene at the anode. CaC2 reacts with water to form acetylene.

15. Acetylene in aqueous solution are oxidised by permanganate to yield cleavage products. The reaction is similar to that shown by double bonds with KMnO4 except that when acetylenes are oxidised the linkage always formed is

Reasoning

Explain why?

1. Alkali metals can be obtained by the electrolysis of the molten salts and not by the electrolysis of their aqueous solutions.

1. The solutions of alkali metals contain metal cations, H+, OH– and the anions. The discharge potential of H+ ion is lower than the metal cation and thus on electrolysis of solution of alkali metal salts, hydrogen is discharged at cathode rather than the metal.

2. Na2CO3 is made by solvay process but same process is not extended for manufacture of K2CO3.

2. As Na2CO3 but KHCO3 is very soluble in water and hence cannot be obtained in solid state. Hence K2CO3 cannot be prepared.

3. Aluminium forms [AlF6]3– but boron does not form [BF6]

3– ion.

3. Maximum co ordination of no. of boron is four as it does not have d orbitals while maximum co ordination number of aluminium is 6. Thus aluminium forms [AlF6]

3– and boron does not form [BF6]

3– ion.

4. NF3 is stable but NCl3 and NI3 are unstable and explosive explain why.

4. In NF3 there is strong p p

bonding due to large electronegativity difference on the other hand there is a weak p p

bonding in NCl3 and NI3 hence these compounds are unstable and explosive.

5. When blue litmus is dipped into a solution of HClO it first turns red and later on gets decolourised. Why?

Short answer

1. Why among alkali metal salts, the lithium salts are the poorest conductors of electricity in aqueous solution.

1. Ionic conductance in solution depends upon the mobility of ions which depends upon the degree (or extent) of hydration. Since charge/radius ratio is maximum for Li+ so it is hydrated to maximum extent. Thus the ionic size in aqueous solution instead increasing actually decreases on moving from Li+ to Cs+. Hence ionic conductance increases on moving Li+ to Cs+.

2. Why sodium conducts electricity?

2. In the crystal of sodium each sodium atom contributes its valence electron to the sea of electrons also called as electron gas. Electrons in this sea are not localized but are spread over the entire lattice. These delocalized electrons are free to move therefore sodium conducts electricity.

3. Why NaOH and NaH2PO4 and NaHCO3 and NaOH cannot exist together.

3. NaH2PO4 with strong base according to reaction

2NaOH + NaH2PO4

Na3PO4 + 2H2O and NaHCO3 reacts with strong base NaOH.

Hence they cannot exist together.

4. When the aqueous solution of Na2SO4 is electrolysed why H2 and O2 gases are obtained at cathode and anode respectively.

4. Because oxidation of H2O occur in preference of oxidation of SO42– because oxidation

potential of water is more than that of SO42– and reduction of H2O2 occurs in preference

of the Na+, because reduction potential of water is more than that of SO42–. Chemical

changes at anode and cathode are as follows.

At anode

2 (l) (aq) 2(g)1

N O 2H O 2e2

At cathode

2 (l) 2(g) (aq)2H O 2e H 2OH

5. Which of the following alkaline earth metal do not impart any colour to flame and why? Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba.

Page 58: chemistry tips for IIT preparation

FIITJEE

SSP34 CH-58

5. Mg do not impart any colour because Mg atoms are small in size. The electrons in these atoms are therefore strongly attracted towards nucleus. So they are not excited by energy of flame to Higher energy states hence it does not impart colour in flame.

6. Out of the 1st ion is atom energies 520, 800, 899 and 1086 kJ/mole. Which energy corresponds to Boron and Carbon.

6. When we move from Li to Be there is increase in IE but as we move from Be to B there is slight decrease in ion E because the effect of nuclear charge is out weighed by the decrease in penetration effect of 2p electron.

Carbon has maximum IE i.e. 1086 kJ/mole and for boron it is 800 kJ/mole.

7. Although the chemical properties of lithium is very much similar to magnesium even they are placed in different groups why?

7. Although they are placed in different groups but very much similar because of nearly same ratio of charge/radius,

8. BaO2 is a peroxide but PbO2 is not a peroxide why?

8. All the peroxides produce hydrogen peroxide when treated with acid. BaO2 gives H2O2

but PbO2 does not gives because it does not contain O22– so it cannot be called as

peroxides.

9. What is the shape of XeF4?

9.

If you no. of

bonds in the central atom is 4 and lone pair = 2 then hybridisation is sp3d2

but for shape only

3. Aqueous solution of potassium ferrocyanide does not give the test of iron (II) and it is not poisonous like potassium cyanide.

3. Being a complex salt, it ionises to4K+ and [Fe(CN)6]4– ions. Absence of FE(II) does not

give the test of iron. Absence of free CN– does not make it poisonous.

4. Square planar complexes with coordination number of 4 exhibit geometrical isomerism whereas tetrahedral complexes do not. Why?

4. In tetrahedral complexes, the relative position of atoms with respect to each other is same thus these do not show geometrical isomerism. Square planar complexes show cis, trans isomerism.

5. [Ti(H2O)6]3+ is coloured while [Sc(H2O)]3+ is colourless. Why?

5. [Sc(H2O)6]3+ has no unpaired electron in its sub shell and thus d d transition is not

possible whereas [Ti(H2O)6]3+ has one unpaired electron in its d sub shell which gives

rise to d d

transition to impart colour.

6. Ni(CO)4 possesses tetrahedral geometry, while [Pt(NH3)2]Cl2 square planar. Explain this fact.

6. Ni(CO)4 possesses sp3 hybridisation and thus tetrahedral, whereas [Pt(NH3)3]Cl2

possesses dsp2 hybridisation and thus square planar nature.

7. The magnetic moment of [MnCl4]2– is 5.92 B.M. Explain why?

7. In [MnCl4]2Mn2+ ion possesses sp3 hybridisation as

XX XX XX XX XX

3d 4s 4p

This give rise to five unpaired electrons. Thus magnetic moment is n(n 2) 5(5 2) 35 5.91 B.M.

8. Why all the octahedral complexes of Ni2+ are outer orbital complex.

8. 3d

Ni2+

thus only are 3d orbital is possible if at all pairings occurs due to strong field ligand. Therefore d2sp3 hybridisation is not possible. Only sp3d2 is possible which represents for outer complex.

9. Why [Al(H2O)6]3+ be a stronger acid than [Mg(H2O)6]

2+.

9. The six of [Al(H2O)6]3+ is smaller than [Mg(H2O)6]

2+. Also the former possesses more effective nuclear charge and thus, attracts electron pair from donor more effectively. This give rise to relatively stronger acidic nature in [Al(H2O)6]

3+.

10. Square planar complexed do not show optical isomerism. Why?

11. The tetra coordinated complexes with square planar geometry do not show optical isomerism because they contain plane of symmetry.
