For compound A below, draw at least 6 different constitutional isomers. (Hint you don't have to count the hydrogens on every structure if you have the right number of non-hydrogen atoms and degrees of unsaturation.) OH OH A Use the constitutional isomers of A you drew above or others, to find a constitutional isomer that matches each description below. Use your understanding of Acid-Base principles to demonstrate the difference in pKa between each isomer and A. (Hint: what can change when you draw a different constitutional isomer that affects the pKa?) a. An isomer that is at least 105 times less acidic than A b. An isomer that is comparable in acidity to A c. An Isomer that is at least 105 times more acidic than A
Electronic Effects
The effect of electrons that are located in the chemical bonds within the atoms of the molecule is termed an electronic effect. The electronic effect is also explained as the effect through which the reactivity of the compound in one portion is controlled by the electron repulsion or attraction producing in another portion of the molecule.
Drawing Resonance Forms
In organic chemistry, resonance may be a mental exercise that illustrates the delocalization of electrons inside molecules within the valence bond theory of octet bonding. It entails creating several Lewis structures that, when combined, reflect the molecule's entire electronic structure. One Lewis diagram cannot explain the bonding (lone pair, double bond, octet) elaborately. A hybrid describes a combination of possible resonance structures that represents the entire delocalization of electrons within the molecule.
Using Molecular Structure To Predict Equilibrium
Equilibrium does not always imply an equal presence of reactants and products. This signifies that the reaction reaches a point when reactant and product quantities remain constant as the rate of forward and backward reaction is the same. Molecular structures of various compounds can help in predicting equilibrium.
