Unit 3: Reactions of Alkenes.
Thermodynamics and Kinetics
Hydrocarbons that contain only
C-C bond are called alkanes
Hydrocarbons that contain C=C
bond are called alkenes or
olefins (oil forming)

3.6 Reactivity Considerations
Functional group
Organic Reactions
• Electron-rich atoms or molecules are attracted to
electron-deficient atoms or molecules
• Nucleophile: an electron-rich atom or molecule
• Electrophile: an electron-deficient atom or molecule
• A nucleophile and an electrophile react with each other
Electrophiles and Nucleophiles

Mechanism of the Reaction
3.7 Thermodynamics and Kinetics
Reaction coordinate digram
Thermodynamics
Describes the properties of a system at equilibrium
The more stable the compound,
the greater its concentration at equilibrium
Gibbs standard free energy change
This symbol indicates that the reaction takes place under standard conditions
--all species at 1 M, 25 OC, and 1 atm.
↓
R is the gas constant (1.986 cal/mol OK)
T is the absolute temperature (OK)
Free Energy, Enthalpy and Entropy
DHO < 0, exothermic reaction; DHO > 0, endothermic reaction
In condensed phase, DSO ≈ 0. Therefore DGO ≈ DHO
Calculate DHO for a Certain Reaction
p.130
Solvation: the interaction between a solvent and
a molecule (or ion) in solution
Solvation can have a large effect on the DHO of a reaction,
and it can also affect the DSO of a reaction.
Kinetics
Deals with the rates of chemical reactions and the factors
that affect those rates
