UNSATURATED HYDROCARBONS
In sp2 hybridization the 2s
orbital is mixed with only two of
the three available 2p orbitals:
forming a total of 3 sp2 orbitals with
one p-orbital remaining.
In ethylene (ethene) the two carbon
atoms form a σ bond by overlapping
two sp2 orbitals and each carbon atom
forms two covalent bonds with
hydrogen by s–sp2 overlap all with
120° angles.
The π bond between the carbon atoms
perpendicular to the molecular plane
is formed by 2p–2p overlap.

Since sp2 hybrid orbitals are always in the same plane, the entire ethylene molecule is planar.
Cis-/trans- isomerism are the consequence of the planarity
of all atoms bonded to double-bonded (C=C) carbon atoms.

Elaidic acid is a trans unsaturated
fatty acid often found in partially
hydrogenated vegetable oils.
Oleic acid is a cis unsaturated
fatty acid that comprises
55–80% of olive oil.
C18H36O2
Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid found in animal fats
and is the intended product in full hydrogenation.
Stearic acid is neither cis nor trans because it has no double bonds.

Unsaturated fatty acids become rancid relatively quickly.
To combat the instability of unsaturated fatty acids, manufacturers began
to "hydrogenate" them, a process that makes them more stable.
The result was a more solid and longer lasting form of vegetable oil, called
"partially hydrogenated" oil, in which a new type of fatty acid is formed.
This new type of fatty acid is called trans fatty acid.
Trans fatty acids turn out to increase total cholesterol levels
and LDL cholesterol levels, and to reduce HDL cholesterol levels.
In other words, trans fatty acids are detrimental to cardiac health.

Physical properties of alkenes (and alkynes) are very similar to the physical
properties of alkanes with the same number of carbons (and skeletal structure).

Bromine and chlorine add readily to ethene to form 1,2-dibromoethane and

Markovnikov's Rule
In the addition of an unsymmetrical reagent such as
HCl, HBr and H2O to a double bond of an alkene,
the hydrogen atom adds to the carbon of the double bond
with the greatest number of hydrogen atoms.

Poly(ethene) (polythene or polyethylene)
an example of addition polymerisation
Temperature:
about 200°C
Pressure:
about 2000 atmospheres
Initiator:
a small amount of oxygen as an impurity
The number of molecules joining up is very variable, but is in the region of 2000 to 20000.
Low density poly(ethene) is used for familiar things like
plastic carrier bags and other similar low strength and flexible sheet materials.
High density poly(ethene) is used to make things like plastic milk bottles
and similar containers, washing up bowls, plastic pipes and so on.
Look for the letters HDPE near the recycling symbol.

“it takes alkynes to make a world”
Chemist humor
The chemical bonding in compounds such as
alkynes with triple bonds is explained by sp
hybridization.
In this model the 2s orbital mixes with only
one of the three p-orbitals resulting in two sp
orbitals and two remaining unchanged p
orbitals. The chemical bonding in acetylene
(ethyne) (C2H2) consists of sp–sp overlap
between the two carbon atoms forming a σ
bond and two additional π-bonds formed by
p–p overlap. Each carbon also bonds to
hydrogen in a sigma s–sp overlap at 180°
angles.

Acetylene is a colorless,
unpleasant-smelling gas (bp 28.1°C), which burns in air to
produce a very sooty flame.
In the presence of pure oxygen,
however, it burns at very high
temperatures (up to 2800°C), and
is used in welding and cutting
torches.

In acetylene, the H-C≡C bond angles are 180°.
By virtue of this bond angle, alkynes tend to be rod-like.

AROMATIC COMPOUNDS
Discovery in 1825 by
Michael Faraday
In 1858, August Kekule proposed a rapid
oscillation (I & II) between the 3 C=C and the
3 alternating C-C of hexagonal benzene (C6H6).

All the C-atoms in benzene are sp2-hybridized. Two sp2-hybrid orbitals of each
C-atom overlap with two sp2-hybrid orbital of two other C-atoms to form sigma
bonds. In this way there are six sigma bonds are formed between six C-atoms
which are 120o apart. Remaining six sp2-orbital of six C-atoms overlap with 1s
orbital of six H-atoms individually to form six sigma bonds. Since sigma bond
results from the overlap of above said planar orbital, all H and C atoms are in the
same plane and their generate a hexagonal ring of C-atoms.
Each C-atom in benzene also has an unhybrid 2pz-orbital containing one electron.
These 2pz-orbital are perpendicular to the plane of sigma bonds
Actually these 2pz-orbital produce a pi-molecular orbital containing six electrons.
One half of this pi-molecular orbital lies above the plane of hexagonal ring and
remaining half below the ring like a sandwich.
The overlap of these 2pz-orbital result in the formation of a fully delocalized
pi-bond, which extends all over the six C-atoms of benzene nucleus.

Why is Trinitrotoluene (TNT) Explosive? Because nitrogen in the nitro
group (NO2) has a charge of +1, the nitro group has a very strong tendency
to withdraw (pull) electrons from the aromatic ring. Therefore, attaching
three nitro groups to a benzene ring leads to an extremely unstable or
explosive compound.

Benzene boils at 80°C - rather higher than other hydrocarbons of similar molecular
size (pentane and hexane, for example). This is presumably due to the ease with
which temporary dipoles can be set up involving the delocalized electrons.
Methylbenzene (toluene) boils at 111°C.
It is a bigger molecule and so the
van der Waals dispersion forces will be bigger.
You might have expected that methylbenzene's melting point would be higher than benzene's as well,
but it isn't - it is much lower! Benzene melts at 5.5°C; methylbenzene at -95°C.
Molecules must pack efficiently in the solid if they are to make best use of their intermolecular forces.
Benzene is a tidy, symmetrical molecule and packs very efficiently.
The methyl group sticking out in methylbenzene tends to disrupt the closeness of the packing.
If the molecules aren't as closely packed, the intermolecular forces
don't work as well and so the melting point falls.
The arenes (aromatic compounds) are insoluble in water.

UNSATURATED HYDROCARBONS
Benzene is resistant to addition reactions.
Adding something new to the ring would need you to use some of
the delocalized electrons to form bonds with whatever you are adding.
That results in a major loss of stability as the delocalization is broken.
Instead, benzene mainly undergoes substitution reactions –
replacing one or more of the hydrogen atoms by something new.
That leaves the delocalized electrons as they were.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
are chemical compounds that consist of
fused aromatic rings and do not contain
heteroatom or carry substituents.
PAHs occur in oil, coal, and tar deposits,
and are produced as byproducts of fuel
burning (whether fossil fuel or biomass).
As a pollutant, they are of concern because
some compounds have been identified as
carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic.
PAHs are also found in foods. Studies have
shown that most food intake of PAHs comes
from cereals, oils and fats. Smaller intakes come from vegetables and cooked meats.
The term carcinogen refers to any substance,
radionuclide or radiation that is
an agent directly involved in the promotion of
cancer or in the increase of its propagation
Chemistry 21A
mutagen is a physical or chemical
agent that changes the genetic material
teratology generally refers to disfiguring
birth defects or malformations
