What kind of group is shown here
Alkyl group
What kind of group is shown here?
Aromatic group
What kind of group is shown here?
Hydroxyl group
What kind of group is shown here?
Phenol
What kind of group is shown here?
Ether
What kind of group is shown here?
Ester
Is an alkyl group hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Hydrophobic
(just a group of carbons)
Is an aromatic group hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophobic
(a ring of C’s with alternating double bonds)
What makes a hydroxyl group hydrophilic?
The ability of the OH dipole to create a dipole dipole bond with WATER
Is a phenol hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Hydrophilic
(an aromatic ring and an OH group that creates a dipole)
Why is an ether only weakly hydrophilic?
Because it has a dipole between the O and C but no OH group so it can not donate an H bond
Is an ester hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Hydrophilic due to the resonance of the two O’s and the double bond
What are the boding capabilities of alkyl groups?
Vander Waals
What are the bonding capabilities of aromatic groups?
Vander Waals but specifically pi-pi stacking
What are the bonding capabilities of a hydroxyl group?
Dipole-dipole (hydrogen bonding)
Ion-dipole
What are the bonding capabilities of phenols?
Dipole-dipole
Hydrogen bonding
Pi-pi stacking (vander waals)
What are the bonding capabilities of an ether?
H bonding
Vander waals
What are the bonding capabilities of an ester?
H bonding
Van der Waals
Is an alkyl group an h bond acceptor or donator?
Neither
What is the pKa of alkyl group?
None
Is a hydroxyl group an h bond acceptor or donator?
Both but has no pKa or acidic properties
What is the pKa of a phenol?
9-10 (pKa is brought down due to the resonance of double bonds)
Is phenol an H bond acceptor or donator?
Both (weak acid)
Is an ether a h bond acceptor or donator?
Acceptor only
Does not have an H on the O
