  1. Periodic table.Electron configuration of carbon atoms and molecules. John Summerscales

  2. Fundamental particles in atom • Atomic number = number of protons • for balanced charge (in atom) = number of electrons • value is characteristic of a specific element • Atomic weight = number of (protons + neutrons) • can have partial values as isotopes have different numbers of neutrons and different proportions

  3. The atom (simple model) If K=1, L=2, M=3, N=4, then at each level there are 2n2 electrons: n=1 gives 2 electrons n=2 gives 8 electrons n=3 gives 18 electrons n=4 gives 32 electrons K L M N

  4. The atom (simple model) If n = shell number - 1, then each shell has 2(2n+1) additional electrons: n=0 gives 2 electrons (s-block) n=1 gives 6 electrons (p-block) n=2 gives 10 electrons (d-block) n=3 gives 14 electrons (f-block) nucleus (protons and neutrons) level 1 = 2 level 2 = 2+6 = 8 level 3 = 2+6+10 = 18 level 4 = 2+6+10+14 =32

  5. The Periodic Table Periodic table of the Elements s-block p-block d-block f-block

  6. Inert gases Fibres - glass: B, O, Al, Si aramid: H, C, N, O Resins - H, C, N, O Periodic table of the Elements This column has a full electron shell- the most stable configuration

  7. Ionic bonding Periodic table of the Elements This column lose one electron to become X+ This column lose two electrons to become X2+ This column lose three electrons to become X3+

  8. Ionic bonding Periodic table of the Elements This column gains one electron to become X- This column gains two electrons to become X2- This column gains three electrons to become X3-

  9. Carbon (and Si, Ge, Sn, Pb) Periodic table of the Elements This column could become either X4+ or X4- ??

  10. Carbon 4+ or 4- ?? • In practice, • six protons holding three electrons> strong force/electron (difficult to remove 4th e-) • six protons holding ten electrons> weak force/electron (difficult to retain 10th e-) • so, carbon shares electrons > covalent bonding • one bond ... is ... two shared electrons

  11. Carbon - covalent bonding • carbon has 4 electrons in the outer shell needs four electrons to fill shell • can share with 2, 3 or 4 other atoms • 4 other atoms = 4 x single (σ) bonds • 3 other atoms = 3 x σ and 1 x double (π) bond • 2 other atoms = two σ and two π bonds - 1 x single and 1 x triple (2π) bonds • but ....

  12. Carbon - electron orbitals • electron shells divide into electron orbitals • each has up to two electrons of opposite spin • electrons enter empty orbitals first • at level 2 of Periodic Table, maximum of: • 2 electrons in a spherical orbital • 2 electrons in a dumbbell orbit on x-axis • 2 electrons in a dumbbell orbit on y-axis • 2 electrons in a dumbbell orbit on z-axis

  13. Electron orbitals 1s 2s2px2py Note: the orbitals are not drawn to scale. They are probabilities of finding an electron.The pz orbital is normal to the plane of this image.

  16. Electron configurations Periodic table of the Elements • H 1s1 • He 1s2 • Li 1s2 2s1 • Be 1s2 2s2 • B 1s2 2s2 2p1 • C 1s2 2s2 2p2 • N 1s2 2s2 2p3 • O 1s2 2s2 2p4 • F 1s2 2s2 2p5 • Ne 1s2 2s2 2p6 2p1 = px1 2p2 = px1 py1 2p3 = px1 py1 pz1 2p4 = px2 py1 pz1 2p5 = px2 py2 pz1 2p6 = px2 py2 pz2

  17. Methane (CH4) • carbon bonded to four hydrogen atoms • if each H bonds to a different electron orbitalthe resulting molecule is asymmetric • symmetrical molecules have lowest energyand are thus the most stable form • so (2s + 2px +2py + 2pz) reorganise tofour hybrid sp3 orbitals (think s1p3 !!)oriented along each line from theapex to the centre of a tetrahedron

  18. CH4 tetrahedron • Pyramid with a triangular base • carbon nucleus at centre • hydrogen at each apex • sp3 orbital on each line from apex to base centre

  24. sp2 hybrid orbital • 2s + 2px + 2py hybridise to 3 x sp2 orbitals • 2pz orbital remains and forms double bond < plan view (excl. pz) side view > pz

  25. Double bond (C=C) π (1e-) σ (2e-) π (1e-) half of double (π) bond electrons above atom centres centres single (σ) bond on line of atom centres half of double (π) bond electrons below atom centres Triple bond (C=C) has π orbitalsabove, below, in front and behind the σ bond

  26. Consider σ and πbonds as springs compression tension torsion

  27. Hybrid orbitals - summary • sp3 bonds to 4 other atoms4σ (single) bonds bond angle = 109° 28’ (tetrahedral molecule) • sp2 bonds to 3 other atoms3σ and 1πbond bond angle = 120° (triangular molecule)1σand1πbond = the double bond (i.e. 1+1 = 2) • sp bonds to 2 other atoms2σ and 2πbonds bond angle = 180° (linear molecule)1σand2πbonds = the triple bond (i.e. 1+2 = 3)

  28. Benzene (C6H6 - cyclohextriene) • ring of six carbon atomsignore H atoms to give C at each corner tri-ene is three double bonds symmetry results in hexagonal molecule symmetry gives lowest energy so stable molecule

  29. Benzene (Kekulé resonance) • left molecule is same as right molecule but upside down • double bonds constantly switch positions • change is so fast that upper 3 electrons appear as a single ring lower 3 electrons appear as a single ring

  30. Benzene ring • delocalised (conjugated) electrons C-C bond length 1.54 Å C:C bond in benzene 1.39 Å C=C bond length 1.33 Å
