CHM120H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Aromaticity, Optical Rotation, Benzene
Document Summary
Unit 2 - chapter 14: organic chemistry (lec 10) Stereoisomers: he skipped through this really fast. Skipped through this really fast: you"re expected to know the info on these slides. See definition on slide: hydrocarbons are not chemically reactive (unless they are combusted) unless they have certain function groups. Liquid paraffin is a laxative because it is reactive (due to its functional group) See note from rocketbook for benzene to benzaldehyde (benzene is relatively unreactive but when it gains a -cho functional group, it becomes reactive) Interview analogy (can"t do an interview with your body (parent chain) but also can"t do an interview with just your head (functional group)?: he skipped through the last two slides but you"re expected to know them. Slide 45-48: memorize the hybridizations of all the functional groups and the shapes, the hybridizations are what give the molecules their angles, he skipped through slide 48.
