Q & A

  • What is the main focus of Dr. Mike Chris Hansen's first lecture in the organic chemistry course?

    -The main focus of the lecture is to introduce the basic principles of organic chemistry, the importance of the subject, and to set expectations for what students will learn throughout the course.

  • What is the humorous alternative that Dr. Mike Chris Hansen jokingly suggests students will gain from the course instead of the actual knowledge?

    -Dr. Mike Chris Hansen humorously suggests that students will gain wealth, power, and prestige from the course, instead of the actual knowledge of organic chemistry.

  • What is the actual outcome students can expect to achieve from the organic chemistry course according to Dr. Mike Chris Hansen?

    -Students can expect to understand the basic principles of organic chemistry, devise organic syntheses of simple molecules, predict the outcome of chemical reactions discussed in class, and determine compound structures using IR and NMR data.

  • What is the textbook that will be used for the organic chemistry course?

    -The textbook used for the course is 'Organic Chemistry Sixth Edition' by Paully Yuranis Bruis.

  • How does Dr. Mike Chris Hansen compare organic chemistry to playing with Legos?

    -Dr. Mike Chris Hansen compares organic chemistry to playing with Legos by explaining that just as complex Lego sets are assembled one piece at a time, organic chemists assemble complex molecules one step at a time from simple starting materials.

  • What is the significance of the yield percentage in a chemical reaction according to the lecture?

    -The yield percentage is a measure of how efficient a chemical reaction is. The closer to 100%, the less material is wasted each time the reaction is run, indicating a more efficient process.

  • What is the role of organic chemists in the pharmaceutical industry as described in the lecture?

    -Organic chemists are responsible for making or synthesizing molecules, often medicines, by using specific structure-altering chemical reactions to convert simple starting materials into complex products.

  • Why is it necessary to develop synthetic methods for medicinal compounds found in nature?

    -It is necessary to develop synthetic methods because many medically useful molecules found in nature are present in such small amounts that it is not feasible to obtain enough of them to treat diseases without causing significant environmental harm.

  • What is the story of paclitaxel (Taxol) and how it relates to the role of organic chemistry in medicine?

    -Paclitaxel, commonly known as Taxol, is a mitotic inhibitor used in cancer chemotherapy, originally isolated from the bark of the Pacific Yew tree. Due to the impracticality of obtaining it in large quantities from the tree, organic chemists, including Robert A. Holton, developed a synthetic method to produce it from 10-deacetylbaccatin III, a compound that can be harvested from the European Yew tree without killing it.

  • What is the concept of electronegativity and how does it relate to the formation of polar and nonpolar covalent bonds?

    -Electronegativity is an element's ability to attract electrons in a bond. When there is a significant difference in electronegativity between two atoms, they form polar covalent bonds with a dipole moment. If the difference is minimal, they form nonpolar covalent bonds with even sharing of electrons.

  • How does Dr. Mike Chris Hansen describe the process of drawing Lewis structures in the lecture?

    -Dr. Mike Chris Hansen summarizes the steps for drawing Lewis structures, which include counting valence electrons, placing atoms and single bonds, completing octets for all atoms except hydrogen, placing leftover electrons on the central atom, and using multiple bonds if necessary.

  • What are the differences between Lewis structures, skeletal structures, and condensed structures?

    -Lewis structures show bonding electrons as dots and lone pairs. Skeletal structures simplify the Lewis structures by omitting some or all of the covalent bonds and listing atoms with subscripts. Condensed structures are a further simplification where the subscripts are also omitted and the atoms are simply listed in their connected order.

🔬 Understanding Bonding and Electronegativity

This section delves into the concepts of ionic and covalent bonds, explaining how electrons are shared or transferred between atoms. Dr. Hansen uses visual representations to illustrate electron density and partial charges in molecules. He introduces the concept of electronegativity as an element's tendency to attract electrons, noting that it increases across the periodic table. The lecture also covers the formation of polar and non-polar covalent bonds, influenced by the difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms, and the resulting dipole moments. Interactive questions are posed to engage students in identifying trends in electronegativity and understanding bond polarity.

15:04

📝 Lewis Structures and Molecular Representations

The final paragraph focuses on Lewis structures, summarizing the steps for drawing them and emphasizing their importance in understanding molecular geometry and bonding. Dr. Hansen provides a brief overview of the process, from counting valence electrons to completing octets and forming multiple bonds if necessary.

Keywords

💡Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry is the study of carbon-containing compounds and their reactions. It is central to the understanding of life processes and the development of pharmaceuticals. In the video, Dr. Mike Chansen introduces organic chemistry as a subject that allows students to learn the basic principles, devise organic syntheses, predict chemical reactions, and determine compound structures using various spectroscopic data.

💡Chemical Bonding

Chemical Bonding refers to the force that holds atoms together in a molecule or a crystal. The video discusses two primary types of chemical bonds: covalent and ionic. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons, while ionic bonds result from the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, creating ions.

💡Covalent Bond

A Covalent Bond is a chemical bond formed by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms. The video script explains that covalent bonds can be either polar, where electrons are shared unequally, or non-polar, where electrons are shared equally. Examples from the script include F2, where electrons are shared equally, and HF, where they are shared unequally.

💡Ionic Bond

An Ionic Bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. In the script, the formation of lithium fluoride (LiF) is used as an example, where lithium donates its electron to fluorine, resulting in a lithium cation and a fluoride anion.

💡Electronegativity

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond. The video describes it as an element's 'thirst for electrons' and explains that it increases across the periodic table from left to right. Electronegativity differences between atoms determine the polarity of covalent bonds.

💡Polarity

Polarity refers to the separation of electric charges within a molecule, leading to a molecule having a positive end and a negative end. The video script explains that polarity arises from differences in electronegativity between atoms within a molecule, resulting in polar covalent bonds.

💡Lewis Structures

Lewis Structures are diagrams that represent the valence electrons of atoms within a molecule and the bonds between them. The video script provides a brief overview of how to draw Lewis structures, emphasizing the importance of achieving complete octets for atoms and using multiple bonds when necessary.

💡Spectroscopy

Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation. In the context of the video, Dr. Chansen mentions the use of IR (Infrared) and NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy to determine compound structures, which is a key skill students will learn in organic chemistry.

💡Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceuticals are drugs or medications used in the treatment and prevention of diseases. The video script highlights the role of organic chemistry in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, with the example of the drug Taxol, which is synthesized from a natural product through organic chemical reactions.

💡Molecular Synthesis

Molecular Synthesis is the process of chemically combining simpler compounds to form more complex molecules. The video script uses the example of the synthesis of ESN proxin from a commercially available starting material, demonstrating the stepwise assembly of complex molecules through specific chemical reactions.

💡Condensed Structures

Condensed Structures are a simplified way of representing organic compounds by omitting some or all of the covalent bonds and listing the atoms with subscripts. The video script briefly introduces this concept and contrasts it with Lewis structures, which show bonding electrons as lines and lone pairs.

taking this from me in person will be

play01:07

organic chemistry sixth edition by

play01:09

paully yuranis bruis before we begin

play01:12

however I'd like to First give you a

play01:14

brief introduction to Organic Chemistry

play01:16

by teaching you what it is and why it's

play01:18

so

play01:20

important organic chemistry is kind of

play01:22

like playing with Legos trademark for

play01:25

any of you who've played with Legos

play01:27

trademark you might recognize that what

play01:30

you see on the cover of the box is not

play01:32

what you see when you open up the box so

play01:35

how in the world do you convert all the

play01:36

little pieces inside the box into the

play01:39

actual playet featured well you do it

play01:41

one piece at a time by following this

play01:43

the instructions of course in this

play01:45

particular example which I stole off the

play01:47

internet you can assemble this Farmer's

play01:49

watering hole for his dog and pig by

play01:51

starting with this piece to which is

play01:53

added these pieces to which are added

play01:55

those pieces and so forth and so on

play01:57

until we finally have the dog and the

play02:00

Pig and the farmer next to watering hole

play02:02

isn't that wonderful I thought you'd

play02:04

like it organic chemistry then is very

play02:07

similar just as we might assemble a

play02:09

complex Lego play set one step at a time

play02:11

by putting simple pieces together

play02:14

organic chemists assemble complex

play02:16

molecules one step at a time from simple

play02:18

starting materials that can be bought at

play02:20

a store unlike Legos however complex

play02:24

molecules can't be assembled using our

play02:26

hands they're just too tiny instead

play02:29

they're put together by using very

play02:31

specific chemical

play02:34

reactions now just as an example I'd

play02:36

like to show you guys the Assembly of a

play02:38

molecule that I participated in

play02:40

developing back when I was in grad

play02:41

school starting with molecule one which

play02:44

is cheap and commercially available from

play02:46

several chemical supply companies uh the

play02:48

research group I was in and I worked and

play02:51

treated it under these conditions to

play02:53

turn it into molecule 2 now you don't

play02:55

have to understand at all what these

play02:57

conditions are I just want you to

play02:58

understand that they magically using

play03:00

organic chemistry stuff that you don't

play03:01

have to worry about right now turn

play03:03

molecules like one into molecule two one

play03:07

thing that I want to point out is that

play03:08

this reaction was run in 98% yield what

play03:11

does that mean well percent yield is a

play03:14

measure of how efficient a particular

play03:15

reaction is the closer to 100% a

play03:18

reaction's yield is the less material is

play03:21

wasted each time the reaction is run

play03:23

thus we are again at chemists often try

play03:24

to develop a lot of ways of increasing

play03:27

our percent yields now with molecule 2

play03:29

now in our hands on large scale we

play03:31

reacted it under these conditions to

play03:33

convert it into molecule 3 compound 3

play03:37

was then converted to molecule four and

play03:39

four was converted to five using a

play03:41

special Catalyst that I haven't shown

play03:42

here because honestly it structure is

play03:45

really big and I don't think it'd fit on

play03:46

this

play03:47

slide finally at the very end molecule

play03:50

five was converted into this molecule

play03:52

shown right here which is known as ESN

play03:55

proxin or more commonly it is

play03:57

commercially known as the pharmaceutical

play03:59

drug leave and just in case you're

play04:01

interested in reading more here are two

play04:03

publication references for the work that

play04:06

we did on this project so once again

play04:08

here's the point we organic chemists are

play04:10

the people charged with the

play04:12

responsibility of making or

play04:14

synthesizing molecules which often are

play04:18

medicines and we do so by using specific

play04:21

structure altering chemical reactions to

play04:23

convert simple starting materials into

play04:25

complex products one step at a time now

play04:28

many people don't realize that nearly

play04:30

all the medicines that we buy and use as

play04:32

human beings are made by organic

play04:34

chemists and the processes by which they

play04:36

are made are also invented by organic

play04:39

chemists and chemical

play04:40

Engineers but wait you might say don't

play04:43

we get a lot of our medicines from

play04:44

nature yes we do however most medically

play04:48

useful molecules made by Nature are

play04:50

found in such tiny amounts that we can't

play04:52

get enough of them from nature to

play04:54

actually treat disease hence natural

play04:57

product chemists discover medicinally

play05:00

useful molecules from nature and then

play05:02

organic chemists develop ways of making

play05:04

those molecules in large scale in the

play05:06

lab I'll now illustrate this by telling

play05:08

you a story that involves our molecule

play05:10

of the

play05:12

day paclet taxel which is commonly known

play05:15

as taxol shown here is a mitotic

play05:19

inhibitor used in cancer chemotherapy

play05:21

that is isolated from the bark of the

play05:22

Pacific U tree because it takes about

play05:25

1.3 tons of ubar to get 10 g of taxon

play05:30

and doing so kills the tree an

play05:32

alternative means of developing large

play05:34

amounts of taxol had to be developed I

play05:37

hope you understand that natural

play05:40

compound found out there but we'd have

play05:42

to ravage nature in order to obtain

play05:44

enough of it to actually treat any

play05:46

disease so what do we do well in time a

play05:49

compound called 10 detil bactin shown

play05:52

here was found it happens to be made by

play05:54

the European utree tendil Bon can be

play05:58

harvested from the trees need needles

play06:00

without uh killing the tree and they

play06:02

grow back one thing you might notice if

play06:04

you look at these two is that tends til

play06:06

Bacon's core looks very very similar to

play06:09

those of pacl taxel so in the late 1980s

play06:12

and early 1990s Robert a Holton an

play06:15

organic chemist from Florida State

play06:16

University devised and patented a way of

play06:19

synthesizing pacl taxel from tend detil

play06:22

Bon using organic chemistry this

play06:25

provided a scalable means of making

play06:27

large amounts of this anti-cancer

play06:29

medicine for clinical trials it's been

play06:32

rumored incidentally that a good chunk

play06:34

of Florida State's football team budget

play06:36

is paid for by the royalties from this

play06:37

patent uh though I don't actually know

play06:40

if that's really

play06:41

true so why do we care about organic

play06:44

chemistry well the most significant

play06:46

reason is that organic chemists use

play06:49

organic chemistry to make nearly every

play06:52

medicine in part or in whole that we use

play06:54

as human beings even medicines that

play06:56

originate from

play06:57

nature thus pharmaceutic companies have

play07:00

armies of organic Chemists in their

play07:02

basement laborator slaving away like

play07:03

Orcs to develop the treatments that we

play07:06

use every day things like aspirin

play07:09

oxycotton Viagra and liquid Joy note

play07:13

liquid Joy is not a real product now I

play07:16

have to mention that I sometimes find

play07:17

myself feeling frustrated when I visit

play07:19

with medical doctors or dentists who

play07:22

don't seem to understand the role that

play07:24

organic chemists play in their fields

play07:28

now don't misunder understand me I'm not

play07:30

trying to accuse all medical doctors and

play07:32

dentists of such ignorance I did however

play07:34

visit with one some number of years ago

play07:36

who tried desperately to persuade me to

play07:38

abandon my dream of becoming an organic

play07:40

chemistry professor and to instead

play07:42

pursue a career in the medical field

play07:44

which no offense to doctors and dentists

play07:46

just isn't my personal cup of tea to me

play07:49

that was a little bit like a grocery

play07:51

store owner trying to dissuade someone

play07:53

from becoming a farmer frankly without

play07:55

organic chemists medical doctors would

play07:57

have to diagnose and treat dis

play08:00

by shaking up bones in a

play08:04

cup I know the

play08:10

bones the Bones have

play08:14

Fen so that takes us to our lecture

play08:16

material for today I should warn you

play08:18

that nearly all of the material in

play08:20

today's lecture will review stuff that

play08:21

you should have learned back in freshman

play08:23

chemistry nevertheless it is pertinent

play08:25

groundwork for understanding the rest of

play08:27

organic chemistry so we will cover it

play08:29

are you ready then good let's get

play08:33

started after today's lecture you guys

play08:36

should be able to do the following

play08:38

distinguish between ionic and calent

play08:40

bonds explain electro negativity

play08:43

identify non-polar and polar calent

play08:46

bonds and draw leis structures cacula

play08:49

structures and condensed

play08:51

structures first I'd like to start by

play08:53

reviewing the difference between ionic

play08:55

and calent bonds you see when two atoms

play08:58

bond so that they they share each

play09:00

other's electrons we say that they have

play09:01

formed a calent bond when two atoms bond

play09:05

so that one completely steals the

play09:07

electrons from the other more or less we

play09:09

call it an ionic

play09:11

bond here's some pictures that show how

play09:14

electrons spread across three different

play09:15

molecules redder parts of those

play09:18

molecules have more electron density

play09:20

that is there's greater partial negative

play09:22

charge there and Bluer Parts have less

play09:25

electron density which means that

play09:26

there's a greater partial positive

play09:28

charge there our first example F2 shown

play09:32

here which is also known as Florine gas

play09:34

is formed when two individual Florine

play09:36

atoms bond together when they do so they

play09:39

share their electrons thus we can say

play09:41

that they form a calent bond with even

play09:45

sharing in our second example HF or

play09:48

hydrofluoric acid the H and the F atoms

play09:52

also share each other's electrons unlike

play09:55

F2 however h and f do not share those

play09:58

electrons even l so this is an example

play10:01

of a calent bond in which there are

play10:03

uneven sharing of

play10:05

electrons in our third example l or

play10:08

lithium fluoride the lithium atom has

play10:11

more or less completely transferred its

play10:13

single valence electron to the Florine

play10:15

atom thus these two atoms are not

play10:18

sharing electrons instead the Florine

play10:21

has more or less completely stolen the

play10:23

electron from the lithium this type of

play10:25

bond is called an ionic bond because

play10:28

there's a complete transfer of electrons

play10:31

leaving two individual ions a lithium

play10:34

positively charged cat ion and a

play10:36

fluoride negatively charged

play10:40

annion as mentioned when calent bonds

play10:43

form sometimes the atoms in those bonds

play10:46

share their electrons evenly and

play10:48

sometimes they don't so what determines

play10:50

the degree of

play10:52

sharing electro

play10:54

negativity and what is electro

play10:56

negativity electro negativity simply

play10:58

defin is an element's thirst for

play11:01

electrons the more an element wants to

play11:04

steal electrons to feel like a noble gas

play11:06

I.E obtain a full octet the more Electro

play11:10

negative that atom

play11:12

is electro negativity increases as you

play11:15

move up and to the right on the periodic

play11:17

table noble gases the elements found in

play11:20

column 8 of the periodic table are

play11:22

excluded because they have very little

play11:25

thirst of electrons because they already

play11:26

have a full octet thus the most

play11:29

electronegative element on the periodic

play11:31

table is Florine and the least

play11:33

electronegative atom is

play11:39

francium this brings us to an impromptu

play11:41

lecture question which atom in each of

play11:44

the following pairs is the most

play11:47

electronegative now I'm not going to

play11:48

answer this question for you but we'll

play11:50

instead let you Ponder and answer it for

play11:52

yourself this is of course an excellent

play11:54

exercise to determine if you can

play11:55

identify Trends in electro

play11:58

negativity

play11:59

as I've already foreshadowed when two

play12:01

bonded atoms have an electro negativity

play12:03

difference the more Electro negative

play12:05

atom will hog

play12:07

electrons like this in this example

play12:10

chlorine is much more electronegative

play12:12

than hydrogen thus the chlorine pulls

play12:15

electrons to itself much more strongly

play12:17

than the hydrogen does kind of like a

play12:19

tug-of-war between a monster truck and a

play12:21

Volkswagen Beetle this uneven sharing of

play12:24

electrons results in a partial positive

play12:26

charge on the hydrogen and a partial

play12:28

negative charge on the chlorine this

play12:30

charge difference is called a

play12:34

dipole the greater the difference in

play12:36

electro negativity between two atoms the

play12:38

more unevenly they share electrons and

play12:41

the more polar their bond will

play12:44

be we can often say then that bonds with

play12:47

dipoles that is uneven sharing of

play12:50

electron have dipole moments we can draw

play12:53

a dipole moment in two different ways

play12:56

one way is by drawing a partial positive

play12:59

charge next to the atom that has a

play13:01

partial positive charge and a partial

play13:03

negative charge next to the atom that is

play13:05

more electr negative another way is to

play13:07

draw this this little arrow pointing

play13:10

toward the more Electro negative atom

play13:12

the one that is hogging the electrons to

play13:14

itself more indicates that the electron

play13:18

density is more heavily uh accumulated

play13:20

on that atom coent bonds with dipoles

play13:24

are called polar calent bonds and calent

play13:28

bonds that do not not have dipoles are

play13:30

called non-polar calent

play13:32

bonds so this takes us back to our

play13:35

original slide here as you can see when

play13:38

two atoms have an even sharing of

play13:40

electrons they have a non-polar calent

play13:43

bond this happens when they have little

play13:45

to no difference in electr negativity as

play13:48

occurs in F2 when two atoms have a

play13:53

more when two atoms have a more

play13:55

significant difference in electro

play13:57

negativity between them they evenly

play13:59

share electrons this is called a polar

play14:02

coent bond and lastly when two bonding

play14:06

atoms have a really significant electro

play14:08

negativity difference one atom will

play14:10

completely transfer its electrons more

play14:12

or less to the other and form an ionic

play14:15

bond we might consider ionic bonds then

play14:17

to be kind of like extremely polar coal

play14:21

bonds this occurs most often when an

play14:23

atom from the right side of the periodic

play14:25

table bonds with an atom from the left

play14:27

side of the periodic table because they

play14:29

have such an extreme difference in

play14:31

Electro negativities they will form an

play14:33

extreme dipole in essence a complete

play14:35

transfer of electrons from one atom to

play14:39

the other giving an ionic

play14:41

bond this brings us to another impromptu

play14:44

leure question arrange each of the

play14:47

following sets of bonds in order of

play14:50

increasing

play14:52

polarity and question two which of the

play14:55

following bonds has a dipole for those

play14:57

that have dipoles on which which atoms

play14:59

do the partial positive and partial

play15:01

negative charges lie once again I'm not

play15:03

going to answer these questions for you

play15:05

but we'll let you instead Ponder and

play15:07

answer them for

play15:09

yourselves we now move to a different

play15:11

subject that of Lewis structures back in

play15:15

general chemistry we learned how to draw

play15:17

Lewis structures now I expect you to

play15:19

know how to do this but I will not give

play15:21

a thorough review here instead I will

play15:23

just summarize the steps give you some

play15:25

example problems to practice with if you

play15:27

wish and provide some helpful links to

play15:29

online tutorials on the subject if

play15:31

needed please review section 1.4 of our

play15:34

class text so here are the steps for

play15:37

drawing L structures one add up all the

play15:40

veence electrons for every atom in the

play15:42

molecule if there are any anions in the

play15:45

molecule add one electron to the total

play15:48

number for each negative charge for cat

play15:51

ions subtract one electron from the

play15:53

total number for each positive charge

play15:56

don't worry about which electrons came

play15:57

from which atoms only only worry about

play15:59

the total number two write the symbol

play16:02

for all the atoms in the molecule

play16:04

showing which atoms are attached to

play16:05

which then connect them with a single

play16:08

Bond or a dash which represents two

play16:11

electrons chemical formulas are often

play16:13

written in the order in which the atoms

play16:15

are connected in many polyatomic ions

play16:18

the first atom in the formula is the

play16:20

central atom in the leou structure

play16:22

usually but not always the central atom

play16:24

is the less electronegative atom three

play16:28

complete the octets around all the atoms

play16:31

bonded to the central atom Except for

play16:33

hydrogen which only wants two electrons

play16:35

around it four Place leftover electrons

play16:38

on the central atom even if doing so

play16:40

results in more than an octet of

play16:42

electrons around it and five if there

play16:45

are not enough electrons to give the

play16:46

central atom an octet try multiple bonds

play16:49

such as double or triple bonds you got

play16:51

that all right here are some more

play16:53

electric questions on the subject

play16:55

question one construct a leis structure

play16:58

for O2 which each atom achieves an octet

play17:00

of electrons two explain why it's

play17:03

necessary to form a double bond in the

play17:04

Le structure of

play17:06

o2 and three draw loose structures for

play17:09

each of the following

play17:13

molecules and here's another question

play17:15

the Le structure for the carbonate ion

play17:19

is

play17:21

what now once again I'm not going to

play17:23

answer these questions but we'll instead

play17:24

let you answer them for

play17:27

yourselves we'll now finish this lecture

play17:30

by briefly introducing you to two

play17:31

different subjects Cula structures and

play17:34

condensed structures in Cula structures

play17:37

bonding electrons are drawn as lines and

play17:40

lone pairs are usually left out unless

play17:41

needed for some special reason here are

play17:44

some

play17:45

examples we often draw simplified

play17:48

structures by omitting some or all of

play17:50

the calent bonds and listing the atoms

play17:53

with subscripts like this these types of

play17:57

structures are called condens condensed

play17:59

structures the condensed structures

play18:01

shown here correspond to the Cula

play18:03

structures that I showed in the previous

play18:06

slide and now I finish by showing you

play18:08

some more electric questions on this

play18:10

subject question number two from our

play18:12

problem set the culi structure of

play18:14

pentane is shown here draw its condensed

play18:17

structure

play18:19

formula question three write a Le

play18:22

structure for the following molecule ch2

play18:24

Co and question four draw Cula

play18:27

structures of the five different isomers

play18:29

of C6

play18:32

h14 well that brings us to the end of

play18:35

this lecture please stay tuned for a

play18:36

part two lecture on electronic structure

play18:38

and bonding which will be posted shortly

play18:41

until then have an enjoyable day
