ELECTRONIC EFFECT : The effect which appears due to electronic distribution is called electronic effect.
(A)
Inductive Effect Inductive Effect When a sigma covalent bond is formed between two atoms of
different electronegativity atom then the sigma () bond pair electron are shited towards more electronegative atom due to this shifiting of e a dipole is created between the two atoms.
Due to this dipole the bonds e in the chain are also shifted and the chain becomes polarised this effect of
polorisation in the chain due to a dipole is called inductive effect.

Resonance Effect
The delocalisation of adjacent (parallel) p-orbital electron is called resonanc. Through resonance the e
density in the molecule becomes uniform, due to uniformility of e density the stability of molecule increases.
Hence the phenomena of a resonance is a stabilising effect.
In resonance only parallel p-orbital e are involved. To explain the property of actual molecule different lewis
structure are drawn with the movement of p-orbital electrons.
This lewis structure are called resonating structure or canonical structure.

Resonating structure are only hypothetical but they all contribute to a real structure which is called resonance
hybride. The resonance hybride is more stable than any resonating structure. The P.E. difference between
the most stable resonating structure and resonance hybride is called resonace energy. The stability of
molecule is directly proportional to resonance energy.
Page # 4
The most stable resonating structure contribute maximum to the resonance hybride and less stable resonating
structure contribute minimum to resonance hybride.

Hydrogen Bonding
1.
Definition :
The hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attractive force between covalently bonded hydrogen atom of one
molecule and an electronegative atom (such as F, O, N) of another molecule.
eg:- Consider the hydrogen fluorine bond in hydrogen fluoride, HF. This bond is a polar covalent bond in
which hydrogen is attached to a strongly electronegative element.
H
F
The positive charge on hydrogen will be attracted electrostatically by the negative charge on F atom by
another molecule of HF.
H F ----- H F ------ H F

Hydrogen bond is a very weak bond (strength about 2 10 kcal/mol)
2.
Conditions for hydrogen bonding:(a) The molecule must contain a highly electronegative atom linked to hydrogen atom.
(b) The size of electronegative atom should be small.
F, O and N atoms only form effective hydrogen bonding.
Example : 1
Greater the electronegativity and smaller the size of the atom (F, O, N), the stronger is the hydrogen bond.
H F ----- H > H O ----- H > H N ----- H

Conclusion:
(a) The chelation between the ortho substituted groups restricts the possibility of intermolecular hydrogen
bonding.
(b) Chelation does not take place in m & p isomers because the two groups far away from each other.
(c) Ortho isomers of hydroxy, nitro, carbonyl compounds have low M.P. than their corresponding m & p
isomers.
(B)
Dipole moment
Due to difference in electronegativity polarity developes between two adjacent atoms in the
molecule. The degree of polarity of a bond is called dipolemoment.
(a) Dipole moment is represented by .
=el
= Dipolemoment
l = internuclear distance between two atoms, i.e., bond length in cm.
e = magnitude of separated charge in e.s.u.
e = 1010 e.s.u.
d = 108 cm
So 1D = 1 1018 esu.cm

intermolecular attractive forces.
Boiling point (a) Intermolecular hydrogen bonding
(b) Molecular weight attraction
(c) dipole-dipole attraction

(b) Intramolecular hydrogen bonding (chelation) decreases the B.P. of the compound and also its solubility in
water.
(a) Hydrogen Bonding
(i) Water:- Water has the lowest molecular weight among hydrides of the VI group of periodic table, it has
the highest boiling point.

Ortho - hydroxy, nitro-, carbonyl, carboxylic or chloro compounds have lower melting and boiling points than
the respective meta or para isomer due to interamolecular, H-bonding in ortho substituted compound.

Melting Point :
(a) Melting point:- The M.P. of a liquid is the temperature where its kinetic energy is sufficient to overcome
the intermolecular attractive forces.
The heavier the molecule and stronger the intermolecular forces, higher will be the M.P. of the compound.
M.P. generally increase with increase in number of carbon atoms in most of the homologues series.

(a) Defination :
(1) Arrhenius Acid : The compounds which furnish H+ ion in aqueous solution are called Arrhenius acids.
Ex. H2SO4, HNO3, HCl, HClO4 etc.
(2) Bronsted Acids : The species which are H+ ion donors are called Bronsted acids. Ex. NH4+ , H3O+,
etc. All Arrhenius acids are Bronsted acids.

A strong acid is defined as the acid which furnish more number of H+ ion in aqueous solution
OR the acid which is more ionised in aqueous solution.
So, a stronger acid has higher value of Ka , or it has lower value of pKa.
pKa = log Ka
(c)
(i) Inorganic acids : The mineral acids are inorganic acids. These are considered as completely ionised
in aqueous solution and are described as strong acids. [H2SO4 > HCl > HNO3].
(ii) Organic acids : They are R SO3H > R COOH > Ph OH > ROH.
They are weakly ionised in water, so these are weaker acids then mineral acids.
(d) Prediction of Acid strength :
(i)
Anion/conjugate base of HX
(ii)
(Cb conjugate base)
A stronger acid has more stable anion, so a stronger acid forms a more stable conjugate base.
Factors affecting stability of conjugate base/anion :
(i) Presence of EWG in the alkyl (R) part of the acid increase stability of anion, and hence increases
acidic strength.

Acidic strength in Aromatic acid :
Acidic strength in aromatic acid depends upon following factors
(i)
Steric effect (steric inhibition of resonance) or Ortho effect
(ii)
Electronic effect of substituents
(iii)
Intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
Steric effect (ortho effect) : In case of 1,2-disubstituted benzene if the substituents are bulky then due to steric
repulsion (vanderwaal repulsion) the group go out of plane w.r.t. benzene ring. Due to this change in planarity
the conjugation between the substituents on benzene is slightly diminished. This effect is called steric
inhibition of resonance. (ortho effect) In case of ortho substituted benzoic acid due to steric inhibition of
resonance the conjugation between benzene and carboxylic group is diminished and the +m effect benzene
ring to the carboxylic is diminished and as the acidity increases w.r.t. benzoic acid and w.r.t. meta and para
substituent benzoic acid inspite any electronic effect of substituent

In aq. solvation, the general order of basic strength is R2NH > R3N > RNH2 > NH3. (R = Ethyl)
or, in some cases, it is R2NH > RNH2 > R3 N > NH3 (R = Methyl)
Explanation: It will be seen that the introduction of an alkyl group into ammonia increases the basic strength
markedly as expected. The introduction of a second alkyl group further increases the basic strength, but the
net effect of introducing the second alkyl group is very much less marked than with the first. The introduction
of a third alkyl group to yield a tertiary amine, however, actually decreases the basic strength in both the
series quoted. This is due to the fact that the basic strength of an amine in water is determined not only by
electron-availability on the nitrogen atom, but also by the extent to which the cation, formed by uptake of a
proton, can undergo solvation, and so become stabilised. The more hydrogen atoms attached to nitrogen in
the cation, the greater the possibilities of powerful solvation via hydrogen bonding between these and water:
Thus on going along the series, NH3 RNH2 R2NH R3N, the inductive effect will tend to increase the
basicity, but progressively less stabilisation of the cation by hydrating will occur, which will tend to decrease
the basicity. The net effect of introducing successive alkyl groups thus becomes progessively smaller, and
an actual changover takes place on going from a secondary to a tertiary amine.
Conclusion :
(1) Secondary amines are stronger bases than tertiary amines.
Reason:- Solvation is less in 3 amines and more steric hinderance to H ion.
(2) All alkyl amines (1, 2, 3) are stronger bases than ammonia (due to + effect of R group).
(3) In gaseous phase, the basic strength order is 3 > 2 > 1 > NH3 (+ effect of R group).

(ii) Aromatic amines (Ph NH2) or Anilines :
When the lone pair lies in conjugation with a multiple bond, it resides in 2p atomic orbital, so that it can get
resonance stabilisation.
Aniline is a weaker base than NH3 because it has delocalised lone pair.

In pyrole lone pairs are involved in resonacne therefore it is less basic. But in pyridine lone pairs are in
perpendicular plane of orbitals therefore not involved in resonance

(iii) Amides :
In amides lone pair donation atom is oxygen which is more electronegative. so it can hold negative charge
more effectively, so it donation tendency decrease (kb decreases).

In case of amidines, the doubly-bonded N is more basic in nature. Although, both the N are sp2 hybridised.
The lone pair of most basic N lies in sp2 hybrid orbital (localised).
