Page 6 : 6 | Hydrocarbons, , 09, , Chemistry, , Chapter, , HYDROCARBONS, — Hydrocarbons are important sources of energy, , INTRODUCTION, , , The term ‘hydrocarbon’ is self-explanatory which means, compounds of carbon and hydrogen only., , , , If different carbon atoms are joined together to form open, chain of carbon atoms with single bonds., , , , On the other hand, if carbon atoms form a closed chain or, a ring, they are termed as cycloalkanes., , , , Hydrocarbons play a key role in our daily life., , , , The terms ‘LPG’ and ‘CNG’ used as fuels., , , , , , LPG is the abbreviated form of liquified petroleum gas, whereas CNG stands for compressed natural gas., , Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain carbon-carbon multiple, bonds – double bonds, triple bonds or both., , , , Aromatic hydrocarbons are a special type of cyclic compounds., , , , , , , Another term ‘LNG’ (liquified natural gas) is also in news, these days. This is also a fuel and is obtained by liquifaction, of natural gas., Petrol, diesel and kerosene oil are obtained by the fractional distillation of petroleum found under the earth’s crust., Coal gas is obtained by the destructive distillation of coal., Natural gas is found in upper strata during drilling of, oil wells., , , , The gas after compression is known as compressed, natural gas. LPG is used as a domestic fuel with the least, pollution., [1997], , , , Kerosene oil is also used as a domestic fuel but it causes, some pollution., , , , Automobiles need fuels like petrol, diesel and CNG. Petrol, and CNG operated automobiles cause less pollution. All, these fuels contain mixture of hydrocarbons, which are, sources of energy., , , , Hydrocarbons are also used for the manufacture of polymers like polythene, polypropene, polystyrene etc., , , , Higher hydrocarbons are used as solvents for paints. They, are also used as the starting materials for manufacture of, many dyes and drugs., , CLASSIFICATION, , , Hydrocarbons are of different types., , , , Depending upon the types of carbon-carbon bonds, present, they can be classified into three main categories –, (i) saturated (ii) unsaturated and (iii) aromatic hydrocarbons., , , , Saturated hydrocarbons contain carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen single bonds., , Gangwar ER DR Institute, , Indira Nagar, Centre - 3, , 1. ALKANES, 1.1 INTRODUCTION, , , As already mentioned, alkanes are saturated open chain, hydrocarbons containing carbon - carbon single bonds., , , , Methane (CH4) is the first member of this family., , , , Methane is a gas found in coal mines and marshy places., , , , If you replace one hydrogen atom of methane by carbon, and join the required number of hydrogens to satisfy the, tetravalence of the other carbon atom, what do you get?, You get C2H6., , , , This hydrocarbon with molecular formula C2H6 is known, as ethane. Thus you can consider C2H6 as derived from, CH4 by replacing one hydrogen atom by – CH3 group. Go, on constructing alkanes by doing this theoretical exercise, i.e., replacing hydrogen atom by – CH3 group. The next, molecules will be C3H8, C4H10 …, , , , These hydrocarbons are inert under normal conditions as, they do not react with acids, bases and other reagents., , , , Hence, they were earlier known as paraffins (latin : parum,, little; affinis, affinity)., , , , The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2, where n stands, for number of carbon atoms and 2n+2 for number of hydrogen atoms in the molecule. According to VSEPR theory,, methane has a tetrahedral structure (Fig.) which is multiplanar,, in which carbon atom lies at the centre and the four hydrogen atoms lie at the four corners of a regular tetrahedron., , 3rd and 4th Floor, Royal Plaza, Near Munshi pulia Petrol, Pump, Lucknow.

You have already read that the pi (  ) bond is a weaker bond due, to poor sideways overlapping between the two 2p, orbitals. Thus, the presence of the pi (p) bond makes, alkenes behave as sources of loosely held mobile, electrons. Therefore, alkenes are easily attacked by, reagents or compounds which are in search of electrons. Such reagents are called electrophilic reagents., , (ii), , (iii), , [NEET-2016], 2., , The presence of weaker  -bond makes alkenes unstable molecules in comparison to alkanes and thus,, alkenes can be changed into single bond compounds, by combining with the electrophilic reagents., Strength of the double bond (bond enthalpy, 681 kJ, mol–1) is greater than that of a carbon-carbon single, bond in ethane (bond enthalpy, 348 kJ mol–1).

ALKYNES, 3.1 INTRODUCTION, , , , , , , Like alkenes, alkynes are also unsaturated hydrocarbons., They contain at least one triple bond between two carbon, atoms. The number of hydrogen atoms is still less in alkynes, as compared to alkenes or alkanes. Their general formula, is CnH2n–2., The first stable member of alkyne series is ethyne which is, popularly known as acetylene., Acetylene is used for arc welding purposes in the form of, oxyacetylene flame obtained by mixing acetylene with oxygen gas. Alkynes are starting materials for a large number, of organic compounds. Hence, it is interesting to study, this class of organic compounds., , 3.2 STRUCTURE OF TRIPLE BOND, , Ethyne is the simplest molecule of alkyne series., Structure of ethyne is shown in Fig., , Each carbon atom of ethyne has two sp hybridised orbitals., , Carbon-carbon sigma (s) bond is obtained by the headon overlapping of the two sp hybridised orbitals of the, two carbon atoms., , The remaining sp hybridised orbital of each carbon atom, undergoes overlapping along the internuclear axis with, the 1s orbital of each of the two hydrogen atoms forming, two C – H sigma bonds., , H – C – C bond angle is of 180°., , Each carbon has two unhybridised p orbitals which are, perpendicular to each other as well as to the plane of the C, – C sigma bond., , The 2p orbitals of one carbon atom are parallel to the 2p, orbitals of the other carbon atom, which undergo lateral or, sideways overlapping to form two pi (  ) bonds between, two carbon atoms., , , , Electron cloud between two carbon atoms is cylindrically, symmetrical about the internuclear axis. Thus, ethyne is a, linear molecule., , 3.3 PREPARATION, 1., , From calcium carbide :, , , On industrial scale, ethyne is prepared by treating, calcium carbide with water., , , , Calcium carbide is prepared by heating quick lime, with coke.

Why is it so ? Has it something to do with their structures and the, hybridisation ? You have read that hydrogen, atoms in ethyne are attached to the sp, hybridised carbon atoms whereas they are attached to sp2 hybridised carbon atoms in ethene, and sp3 hybridised carbons in ethane., , , , Due to the maximum percentage of s character (50%), the sp hybridised orbitals of carbon, atoms in ethyne molecules have highest electronegativity; hence, these attract the shared, electron pair of the C – H bond of ethyne to a, greater extent than that of the sp2 hybridised, orbitals of carbon in ethene and the sp 3, hybridised orbital of carbon in ethane., , , , Thus in ethyne, hydrogen atoms can be liberated as protons more easily as compared to, ethene and ethane., Hence, hydrogen atoms of ethyne attached to, triply bonded carbon atom are acidic in nature., You may note that the hydrogen atoms attached, to the triply bonded carbons are acidic but not, all the hydrogen atoms of alkynes., 1, HC  CH  Na  HC  C  Na   H 2, Monosodium ethynide, 2, , + 2K+, , at anode (Alkyl and CO2 gas is formed), ., CH COO, CH COO—, 2 e –, , ., —, CH COO, CH COO, , O, CH .

Due to its, unique properties and unusual stability, it took several, years to assign its structure., , Benzene was found to be a stable molecule and found to, form a triozonide which indicates the presence of three, double bonds., , Benzene was further found to produce one and only one, , Gangwar ER DR Institute, , Indira Nagar, Centre - 3, , monosubstituted derivative which indicated that all the, six carbon and six hydrogen atoms of benzene are identical., On the basis of this observation August Kekulé in 1865, proposed the following structure for benzene having cyclic arrangement of six carbon atoms with alternate single, and double bonds and one hydrogen atom attached to, each carbon atom., , The Kekulé structure indicates the possibility of two isomeric 1, 2-dibromobenzenes., In one of the isomers, the bromine atoms are attached to, the doubly bonded carbon atoms whereas in the other,, they are attached to the singly bonded carbons., , Benzene was found to form only one ortho disubstituted, product., This problem was overcome by Kekulé by suggesting the, concept of oscillating nature of double bonds in benzene, as given below., , Even with this modification, Kekulé structure of benzene fails to explain unusual stability and preference to, substitution reactions than addition reactions, which could, later on be explained by resonance., , 4.3 RESONANCE AND STABILITY OF BENZENE, , According to Valence Bond Theory, the concept of oscillating, double bonds in benzene is now explained by resonance., , Benzene is a hybrid of various resonating structures. The, two structures, A and B given by Kekulé are the main, contributing structures., , The hybrid structure is represented by inserting a circle or, a dotted circle in the hexagon as shown in (C)., , The circle represents the six electrons which are, delocalised between the six carbon atoms of the benzene ring., , , , The orbital overlapping gives us better picture about the, structure of benzene.

The, remaining sp2 hybrid orbital of each carbon atom overlaps, with s orbital of a hydrogen atom to form six C – H sigma, bonds., Each carbon atom is now left with one unhybridised p, orbital perpendicular to the plane of the ring as shown, below:, , , , , , The unhybridised p orbital of carbon atoms are close, enough to form a  bond by lateral overlap., There are two equal possibilities of forming three  bonds, by overlap of p orbitals of C1 – C2, C3 – C4, C5 – C6 or C2 – C3,, C4 – C5, C6 – C1 respectively as shown in the following, figures., , Fig.: (c), Fig.: (d), The six  electrons are thus delocalised and can move, freely about the six carbon nuclei, instead of any two as, shown in Fig. (a) or (b)., , , , The delocalised  electron cloud is attracted more strongly, by the nuclei of the carbon atoms than the electron cloud, localised between two carbon atoms. Therefore, presence, of delocalised electrons in benzene makes it more stable, than the hypothetical cyclohexatriene., , , , X-Ray diffraction data reveals that benzene is a planar, molecule., , , , Had any one of the above structures of benzene (A or B), been correct, two types of C – C bond lengths were expected.

For example,, benzene on treatment with excess of chlorine in the, presence of anhydrous AlCl3 can be chlorinated to, hexachlorobenzene (C6Cl6)., [2009, 2018], Mechanism of electrophilic substitution reactions:, , According to experimental evidences, SE (S = substitution; E = electrophilic) reactions are supposed to proceed, via the following three steps:, (a) Generation of the eletrophile, (b) Formation of carbocation intermediate, (c) Removal of proton from the carbocation, intermediate, (a), , Generation of electrophile E : During chlorination,, alkylation and acylation of benzene, anhydrous AlCl3,, being a Lewis acid helps in generation of the, , It is interesting to note that in the process of generation of nitronium ion, sulphuric acid serves as an acid, and nitric acid as a base. Thus, it is a simple acidbase equilibrium., [2009], Formation of Carbocation (arenium ion) :, Attack of electrophile results in the formation of  complex or arenium ion in which one of the carbon is, sp3 hybridised., , The arenium ion gets stabilised by resonance:, , (c), , Sigma complex or arenium ion loses its aromatic, character because delocalisation of electrons, stops at sp 3 hybridised carbon., Removal of proton : To restore the aromatic character,  -complex releases proton from sp3 hybridised, carbon on attack by [AlCl4]– (in case of halogenation,, alkylation and acylation) and [HSO4]– (in case of nitration)., , elctrophile Cl  , R  , RC  O (acylium ion) respectively by combining with the attacking reagent., [AIIMS-2008], , Addition reactions, Under vigorous conditions, i.e., at high temperature and /, or pressure in the presence of nickel catalyst, hydrogenation of benzene gives cyclohexane., , In the case of nitration, the electrophile, nitronium, , , ion, N O 2 is produced by transfer of a proton (from, sulphuric acid) to nitric acid in the following manner:, , Hazratganj, , Center-1, Center-2, , Under ultra-violet light, three chlorine molecules add to, benzene to produce benzene hexachloride, C6H6Cl6 which, is also called gammaxane., , 1st Floor & 5th Floor, Pratap Bhawan, Behind Leela Cinema, Lucknow-226001, 1st Floor, 48/38 Nawal Kishore Road, Near Ram Asrey Sweets, Lucknow-226001

Page 34 : 34 | Hydrocarbons, , Chemistry, , Combustion : When heated in air, benzene burns with sooty, flame producing CO2 and H2O., , the overall electron density increases at these positions of, the ring due to resonance. Therefore, – OH group activates the benzene ring for the attack by an electrophile., Other examples of activating groups are – NH2, – NHR, –, NHCOCH3, – OCH3, – CH3, – C2H5, etc., , 15, O 2 ,  6CO 2  3H 2 O, 2, General combustion reaction for any hydrocarbon may be, given by the following chemical equation:, C6 H 6 , , , , In the case of aryl halides, halogens are moderately deactivating. Because of their strong – I effect, overall electron, density on benzene ring decreases. It makes further substitution difficult. However, due to resonance the electron, density on o– and p– positions is greater than that at the, m-position. Hence, they are also o– and p– directing, groups.

Some examples of meta directing groups are – NO2,, – CN, – CHO, – COR, – COOH, –COOR, – SO3H, etc., , O O, Benzene triozonide, , Let us take the example of nitro group. Nitro group reduces, the electron density in the benzene ring due to its strong–, I effect. Nitrobenzene is a resonance hybrid of the following structures., , 4.7 DIRECTIVE INFLUENCE OF A FUNCTIONAL, GROUP IN MONOSUBSTITUTED BENZENE, , When monosubstituted benzene is subjected to further substitution, three possible disubstituted products, are not formed in equal amounts., , Two types of behaviour are observed., , Either ortho and para products or meta product is predominantly formed., , It has also been observed that this behaviour depends on, the nature of the substituent already present in the benzene ring and not on the nature of the entering group., , This is known as directive influence of substituents., , Reasons for ortho/para or meta directive nature of groups, are discussed below:, [2009, 2013], Ortho and para directing groups : The groups which direct the incoming group to ortho and para positions are, called ortho and para directing groups. As an example,, let us discuss the directive influence of phenolic (–OH), group. Phenol is resonance hybrid of following structures:, , In this case, the overall electron density on benzene ring, decreases making further substitution difficult, therefore, these groups are also called ‘deactivating groups’. The, electron density on o– and p– position is comparatively, less than that at meta position. Hence, the electrophile, attacks on comparatively electron rich meta position resulting in meta substitution., , 4.8 CARCINOGENICITY AND TOXICITY, , It is clear from the above resonating structures that the, electron density is more on o – and p – positions. Hence,, the substitution takes place mainly at these positions., However, it may be noted that –I effect of – OH group also, operates due to which the electron density on ortho and, para positions of the benzene ring is slightly reduced. But, , Gangwar ER DR Institute, , Indira Nagar, Centre - 3, , , , Benzene and polynuclear hydrocarbons containing more, than two benzene rings fused together are toxic and said, to possess cancer producing (carcinogenic) property., , , , Such polynuclear hydrocarbons are formed on incomplete, combustion of organic materials like tobacco, coal and, petroleum., , , , They enter into human body and undergo various biochemical reactions and finally damage DNA and cause, cancer., , , , Some of the carcinogenic hydrocarbons are given below, (see box)., , 3rd and 4th Floor, Royal Plaza, Near Munshi pulia Petrol, Pump, Lucknow.
