Kerala Plus Two Maths Notes Chapter 7 Integrals

Introduction
Integration is the reverse process of differentiation. The development of integral calculus is outcome of the efforts to solve the problems to find the function when its derivative is given and to find the area bounded by the graph of a function under certain conditions. In this chapter we study different method of find indefinite integral and definite integrals of certain functions and its properties.

A. Basic Concepts
I. Integration
Let \(\frac{d}{d x}\)F(x) = f(x). then we write ∫f(x)dx = F(x) + C.
These integrals are called indefinite integrals and C is the constant of integration.

  1. Indefinite integral is a collection of family of curves, each of which is obtained by translating one of the curves parallel to itself upward or downwards along the y-axis.
  2. ∫[f(x) ± g(x)]dx = ∫f(x)dx ± ∫g(x)dx
  3. For any real number k, ∫[kf(x)]dx = k∫f(x)dx

II. Some Standard Results

  • ∫xn dx = \(\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}\) + C
  • ∫\(\frac{1}{x}\)dx = log|x| + C
  • ∫exdx = ex + C
  • ∫axdx = \(\frac{a^{x}}{\log a}\) + C
  • ∫sin x dx = -cosx + C
  • ∫cos xdx = sin x + C
  • ∫sec2xdx = tanx + C
  • ∫cosecx cotx dx = -cosecx + C
  • ∫secx tanx dx = secx + C
  • ∫cosec2x dx = -cotx + C
  • ∫tan x dx = log|sec x| + C
  • ∫cot xdx = log|sin x| + C
  • ∫sec xdx = log|sec x + tan x| + C

III. Some methods of Integration
1. If \(\frac{d}{d x}\) F(x) = f (x) and ∫f(x)dx = F(x) + C then ∫f(ax + b)dx = \(\frac{1}{a}\) F(ax + b) + C.

2. ∫[f(x)]n f'(x)dx = \(\frac{[f(x)]^{n+1}}{n+1}\) + C
\(\int \frac{f^{\prime}(x)}{f(x)} d x\) = log[f(x)| + C

3. ∫ex[f(x) + f'(x)]dx = exf(x) + C

4. Substitution Method:
The given integral I = ∫f(x)dx is transformed into another form by changing the independent variable x to t by substituting x = g(t). So that \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) = g'(t) ⇒ dx = g'(t)dt
∴ I = ∫f(x)dx = ∫f(g(t))g'(t)dt.

7. Integration using partial fractions:
Consider Integrals of the form ∫\(\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}\)dx, where P(x) and Q(x) are polynomials in x and Q(x) ≠ 0. If the degree of P(x) is less than Q(x), then the rational function is proper function otherwise improper function.

If \(\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}\) is improper function, first it should be converted to proper by long division and now it takes the form \(\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}\) = T(x) + \(\frac{P_{1}(x)}{Q(x)}\) Where T(x) is polynomial in x and \(\frac{P_{1}(x)}{Q(x)}\) is a proper function.

Now if \(\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}\) is proper function we factorise the denominator Q(x) into simpler polynomials and decompose into simpler rational function. For this we use the following table.

9. Integration by Parts:
∫f(x)g(x)dx = f(x)∫g(x)dx – ∫(f'(x) ∫g(x)dx)dx
Here the priority of taking first function and second function is more important, for this use order of the letters in words ILATE, where

    • I- Inverse Trigonometric Function.
    • L – Logarithmic Function.
  • A – Algebraic Function.
  • T -Trigonometric Function.
  • E – Exponential Function.

IV. Definite Integral
A definite integral has a unique value. A definite integral is denoted by \(\int_{a}^{b}\)f(x)dx, where a is the upper limit and b is the lower limit of the integral. If \(\frac{d}{d x}\) F(x) = f(x) and ∫f(x)dx = F(x) + C , then
\(\int_{a}^{b}\)f(x)dx = F(b) – F(a).

1. Definite integral as the sum of a limit:
Let f(x) be continuous function defined on a closed interval [a, b]. Then \(\int_{a}^{b}\)f(x)dx is area bounded by the curve y = f(x), the ordinates x = a, x = b and the x-axis.

Kerala Plus Two Maths Notes Chapter 6 Application of Derivatives

Introduction
In this chapter we analyses the physical and geometrical applications of derivatives in real life such as to determine rate of change, to find tangents and normal to a curve, to find turning points, intervals in which the curve is increasing and decreasing, to find approximate value of certain quantities.

I. Rate of Change
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\), we mean the rate of change of y with respect to x. If s is the displacement function in terms of time t and v the velocity at that time. Then, \(\frac{d s}{d t}\) = velocity, Acceleration = \(\frac{d v}{d t}=\frac{d^{2} s}{d t^{2}}\)

Plus Two Maths Notes Chapter 6 Application of Derivatives

II. Tangents and Normals
If a tangent line to the curve y = f(x) makes an angle θ with the positive direction of the x-axis, then f'(x) = slope of the tangent = tanθ.
Equation of tangent to the curve y = f (x) at the point (x1, y1): y – y1 = f'(x1)(x – x1)
Equation of normal to the curve y = f (x) at the point (x1, y1): y – y1 = –\(\frac{1}{f^{\prime}\left(x_{1}\right)}\)(x – x1)

III. Increasing and decreasing functions
Nature of a function on a given interval;
Strictly increasing on [a, b]: f'(x) > 0, x ∈ (a, b) Increasing on [a, b]: f'(x) ≥ 0, x ∈ (a, b)
Strictly decreasing on [a, b]: f'(x) < 0, x ∈ (a, b) Decreasing on[a, b]: f'(x) ≤ 0, x ∈ (a, b).
1. Between two consecutive points at which f'(x) = 0 the function has only one nature either it is increasing or decreasing, not both.

IV. Approximation
Consider a function y = f(x). Let ∆x denote a small increment in x and ∆y be the corresponding increment in y. Then, ∆y can be approximated by dy, where dy = \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) × ∆x.

Plus Two Maths Notes Chapter 6 Application of Derivatives

V. Maxima and Minima
A function y = f(x) is said to have a local maximum at x = a, if f(a) is the maximum value obtained by the function in the neighbourhood of x = a.

A function y = f(x) is said to have a local minimum at x = a, if f(a) is the minimum value obtained by the function in the neighbourhood of x = a.

Point on the curve at which f'(x) = 0 is called stationary point or turning point. The following are methods to find the local maximum and local minimum at points where f'(x) = 0.

First Derivative Test:

  1. If f'(c) = 0 and f'(x)changes its sign from positive to negative from left to right of x = c, then the point is a local maximum point.
  2. If f'(c) = 0 and f'(x) changes its sign from negative to positive from left to right of x = c, then the point is a local minimum point.
  3. If f'(c) = 0 and if there is no change of sign for f'(x) from left to right of x = c, then the point is a inflexion point.

Second Derivative Test:

  1. If f'(c) = 0 and f”(c) < 0 , then x = c is a local maximum point.
  2. If f'(c) = 0 and f”(c) > 0, then x = c is a local minimum point.
  3. If f'(c) = 0 and f”(c) = 0, then the test fails and go to first derivate test for checking maxima and minima.

A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point ‘a’ if the following conditions are satisfied.

  1. f(a) should be defined.
  2. Left limit should be equal to right limit, ie; \(\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}}\)f(x) = \(\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}}\) f(x)
  3. f(a) should be equal to the limit of the function at ‘a’. \(\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}}\)f(x) = \(\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}}\) f(x) = f(a).

Kerala Plus Two Maths Notes Chapter 1 Relations and Functions

Introduction
A relation from a non-empty set A to a non-empty set B is a subset of A × B. In this chapter we study different types of relations and functions, composition of functions, and binary operations.

Basic Concepts
I. Types of Relations:
Here we study different relations in a set A

Empty Relation:
R : A → A given by R = Φ ⊂ A × A.

Universal Relation:
R : A → A given by R = A × A.

Plus Two Maths Notes Chapter 1 Relations and Functions

Reflexive Relation:
R : A → A with (a, a) ∈ R, ∀a ∈ A.

Symmetric Relation:
R : A → A with
(a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R, ∀a, b ∈ A.

Transitive Relation:
R : A → A with (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R ⇒ (a, c) ∈ R,
∀a, b, c ∈ A.

Equivalence Relation:
R : A → A which is Reflexive, Symmetric, and T ransitive.

Equivalence Class:
Let R be an Equivalence Relation in a set A. If a ∈ A, then the subset {x ∈ A, (x, a) ∈ R} of A is called the Equivalence Class corresponding to ‘a’ and it is denoted [a].

II. Types of Functions
One-One or Injective function.
A function f : A → B is said to be One-One or Injective, if the image of distinct elements of A under fare distinct.
i.e; f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2
Otherwise f is a Many-One function.

1. Graphical approach:
If lines parallel to x-axis meet the curve at two or more points, then the function is not one-one.

Onto or Surjective function:
A function f : A → B is said to be Onto or Surjective, if every element of B is some image of some elements of A under f.
ie; If for every element y ∈ Y then there exists an element x in A such that f(x) = y.

Bijective function:
A function f : A → B is said to be Bijectiveit it is both One-One and Onto.

Composition of Functions.
Let f : A → B and g : B → C be two functions. Then the composition of f and g denoted by is gof defined
gof : A → C and gof (x) = g(f(x)).

  1. If f : A → B and g : B → C are One-One, then gof : A → C is One-One.
  2. If f : A → B and g : B → C are Onto, then gof : A → C is Onto.
  3. If f : A → B and g : B → C are Bijective, ⇔ gof : A → C is Bijective.

Inverse Function:
If f : A → B is defined to be invertible, if there exists a function g : B → A such that gof = IA and
fog = IB. The function g is called the inverse of ‘f’ and is denoted by f-1.

  1. If function f : A → B is invertible only if f is bijective.
  2. (gof)-1 = f-1og-1.

Plus Two Maths Notes Chapter 1 Relations and Functions

III. Binary Operations
A binary operation ‘*’ on a set A is a function * : A × A → A, defined by a * b, a, b ∈ A.

  1. * : A × A → A is commutative if a * b = b * a, ∀a, b ∈ A.
  2. * : A × A → A is associative if a * (b * c) = (a * b) * c, ∀a, b, c ∈ A.
  3. e ∈ A is the identity element for the binary operation * : A × A → A if a * e = a = e * a, ∀a ∈ A.
  4. An elements a ∈ A is invertible for the binary operation * : A × A → A, if there exists an element b ∈ A such that a * b = e = b * a, where ‘e’ is the identity element for the operation ‘*’. Then ‘b’ is denoted by a-1.

Drugs and their Classifcation
Drugs- chemicals of low molecular masses which interact with macromolecular targets and produce a biological response. When this response is therapeutic and useful, these chemicals are called medicines. Medicines are used in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases. Chemotherapy – Use of chemicals for therapeutic effect.

1. Classification of Drugs:
(a) On the Basis ofPharmacobgical Effect:
Provides them the whole reange of drugs available forthe treatment of a particular type of problem, useful to doctors, e.g. Analgesics – pain killing effect, Antiseptics – kill or arrest the growth of microorganisms.

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 16 Chemistry in Everyday Life

(b) On the Basis of Drug Action:
Based on the action of a drug on a particular biochemical process, e.g. Antihistamines – inhibit the action of histamine.

(c) On the Basis of Chemical Structure:
Based on the chemical structure of the drug. These drugs share common structural features and often have similar pharmacological activity, e.g. Sulphonamides
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 16 Chemistry in Everyday Life 1

(d) On the Basis of Molecular Targets:
Based on molecular targets, most useful for medicinal chemists. Drugs usually interact with biomolecules called target molecules or drug targets.

Drug-Target Interaction
Enzymes and receptros are important drug targets. Enzymes are proteins which perform the role of biological catalysts in the body. Receptors are proteins which are crucial to communication system in the body.

1. Enzymes as Drug Targets:
(a) Catalytic Action of Enzymes:
In their catalytic activity enzymes perform two major functions:

  • To hold the substrate molecule in a suitable position, so that it can be attacked by the reagent effectively.
  • To provide functional groups that will attack the substrate and carry out chemical reaction.

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 16 Chemistry in Everyday Life

(b) Drug-Enzyme Interaction:
Drugs can block the binding site of the enzymes and prevent the binding of substrate, or can inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme. Such drugs are called enzyme inhibitors. This can be done in two different ways:

  • Competitive Inhibitors: drugs which compete with the natural substrate for their attachment on the active sites of enzymes.
  •  Allosteric Site: sites other than the active site of the enzyme. Some drugs bind to the allosteric site of the enzyme which changes the shape of the active site in such a way that substrate cannot recognise it.

Receptors as Drug Targets:
Majority of the receptor proteins are embedded in the cell membrane in such a way that their small part possessing active site projects out of the surface of the membrane and opens on the outside region of the cell membrane.

Chemical messengers – Chemicals involved in the transmission of message between two neurons and that between neurons to muscles. These are received at the binding site of the receptor proteins. To accommodate a messenger, shape of the receptor site changes. This brings about the transfer of message into the cell.

Antagonists – drugs that bind to the receptor site and inhibit its natural function. These are useful when blocking of a message is required.

Agonists – drugs that mimic the natural messenger by switching on the receptor. These are useful when there is lack of natural chemical messenger.

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 16 Chemistry in Everyday Life

Therapeutic Action of Different Classes of Drugs
1. Antacids:
Drugs which control acidity in stomach. In early times, antacids such as NaHCO3 or mixture of Al(OH)3 and Mg(OH)2 were used.

Histamine, stimulates the secretion of pepsin and hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Its discovery helped in the treatment of hyperacidity. The drug cimetidine (Tegamet) prevents the interaction of histamine with the receptors present in the stomach wall.

This resulted in release of lesser amount of acid. This drug was in use until another drug ranitidine (Zantac) was discovered.

2. Antihistamines:
Drugs which act against histamines, a potent vasodilator. It contracts the smooth muscles in the bronchi and gut and relaxes other muscles in the walls of fine blood vessels. It is also responsible for the nasal congestion associated with common cold and allergic response to pollen, e.g. Brompheniramine (Dimetapp), Terfenadine (Seldane) act as antihistamines.

3. Neurologically Active Drugs:
(a) Tranaquilizers:
Chemical compounds used for the treatment of stress and mild or even severe mental diseases. These relieve anxiety, stress, excitement by inducing a sense of well-being, e.g. Chlorodiazepoxide and meprobamate (mild tranquilizers suitable for relieving tension).

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 16 Chemistry in Everyday Life

Antidepressant drugs – Drugs that inhibit the enzymes which catalyse the degradation of the important neurotransmitter, noradrenaline. Thus, noradrenaline is slowly metabolised and can activate its receptor for longer periods of time, thus counteracting the effect of depression.
e.g. Iproniazid, Phenelzine. Equanikised in controlling depression and hypertension.

Barbiturates – important class of tranquilizers which are derivatives of barbituric acid. These are hypnotic (sleep producing agents), e.g. veronal, amytal, nembutal, luminal and seconal.

(b) Analgesics:
Reduce or abolish pain without causing impairment of consciousness, mental confusion, incoordination or paralysis or some other disturbances of nervous system. They are two types,

(i) Non-narcotic Analgesics:
Drugs effective in relieving skeletal pain such as due to arthritis, also reduce fever (antipyretic), e.g. Aspirin, paracetamol. Aspirin is also used in the prevention of heart attacks because of its anti blood clotting action.

(ii) Narcotic Analgesic:
Drugs which releive pain and produce sleep in medicinal doses. In poisonous doses they produce stupor, coma, convulsions and ultimately death.They cause addiction, e.g. Morphine, Heroin, Codeine.

4. Antimicrobials:
Destroy/prevent development or inhibit the pathogenic action of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, virus or other parasites selectively. Antibiotics, antieptics and disinfectants are antimicrobial drugs.

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 16 Chemistry in Everyday Life

(a) Antibiotics:
Chemical substances which are produced by microorganism/partly by chemical synthesis and are capable of destroying or inhibiting other micro organisms.
e.g. Salvarsan – Used in the treatment of syphilis. Antibiotics have either cidal(killing) effect ora static (inhibitory) effect on microbes.

BactericidalBacteriostatic
PecillineErythromycin
AminoglycosidesTetracycline
OfloxacinChloramphanicol

Antibiotics are also classified into broad spectrum and narrow spectrum antibiotics based on their spectrum of action (range of bacteria or other microorganism that are affected by a certain antibiotic).

(1) Broad Spectrum Antibiotics:
Antibiotics which attack a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, e.g. Tetracyclin, steptomycin, chloramphenicol, vancomycin, ofloxacin etc. Ampicillin and Amoxycillin are synthetic modifications of pencillins. These have broad spectrum.

(2) Narrow Spectrum Antibiotics:
Effective mainly against Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria, e.g. Pencilline.

(3) Limited Spectrum Antibiotics: Antibiotics effective against a single organism or disease.
Dysidazirine – Antibiotic which is toxic towards certain strains of cancer cells.

(b) Antiseptic and Disinfectants:
Chemicals which either kill or prevent the growth of microorganisms. Antiseptics are applied to the living tissues such as wounds, cuts, ulcers and skin deseases. These are not injected like antibiotics, e.g. Furacine, soframidne.

  • Dettol- Commonly used antiseptic, it is a mixture of chloroxylenol and terpineol.
  • Bithional – added to soaps to impart antiseptic properties.
  • Tincture iodine – 2 – 3% solution of iodine in alcohol-water mixture.
  • Dilute aq. solution of boric add- weak antiseptic for eyes.
  • Iodoform – antiseptic for wounds.

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 16 Chemistry in Everyday Life

Disinfectants are applied to inanimate objects such as floors, drainage system, instruments, etc.
e.g. 1% of phenol, SO2 (in very low concentration) and Cl2 (0.2 to 0.4 ppm) are common disinfectants. Some substance can act as an antiseptic as well as disinfectant by varying concentration.
e.g. 0.2% phenol – antiseptic
1 % phenol – disinfectant.

5. Antifertility Drugs:
Drugs used to control population. Birth control pills essentially contain a mixture of synthetic estrogen and progesterone derivatives. Progesterone suppresses ovulation. Synthetic progesterone derivatives are more potent than progesterone. e.g. Norethindrone.
Ethynylestradbl(novestrol) – eastrogen derivative used in combination with progesterone derivative.

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 16 Chemistry in Everyday Life

Chemicals in Food
Chemical are added to food for preservation, enhancing their appeal and adding nutritive value.

1. Artificial Sweetening Agents:
Chemical substances which give sweetening effect to food. Commonly used artificial sweetening agents: Aspartame – 100 times sweeter than cane sugar, methyl ester of dipeptide formed from aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Use of aspartame is limited to cold foods and soft drinks because it is unsatble at cooking temperature.

Saccharine – 550 times sweeter than cane sugar. It is the first popular artificial sweetening agent. It is excreted from the body in urine unchanged. It appears to be entirely inert and harmless when taken. Its use is of great value to diabetic persons and people who need to control in take of calories.

Sucrlose – 600 times sweeter than cane sugar. It is the trichloro derivative of sucrose. Its appearance and taste are like sugar. It is stable at cooking temperature. It does not provide calories.

Alitame – 2000 times sweeter than cane sugar. It is high potency sweetner. The control of sweetness of food is difficult while using it.

2. Food Preservatives:
They prevent spoilage of food due to microbial growth, e.g. Sugar, table salt, vegetable oils, sodium benzoate (C6H5 COONa), salts of sorbic acid, and propanoic acid.

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 16 Chemistry in Everyday Life

Cleansing agents
Detergents and soaps are commonly used as cleansing agents.

1. Soaps:
Sodium/pottassium salts of higher fatty acids or long chain fatty acids like palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid etc. Glyceryl ester of fatty acids is treated with aqueous NaOH solution. This reaction is known as saponification.

In this reaction, esters of fatty acids are hydrolysed and the soap obtained remains in colloidal form. Soap is precipitated from the solution by adding NaCI. Pottassium soaps are soft to the skin than sodium soaps. These can be prepared by using KOH solution in place of NaOH.

Types of Soaps
Toilet soap:
Prepared by using better grade of fats and oils with suitable soluble hydroxide. Colour and perfumes are added to make them more attractive.

Medicated soaps:
These contain substances of medicinal value. In some soaps deodorants are added, e.g. Shaving soaps contain glycerol to prevent rapid drying. A gum called rosin is added which forms sodium rosinate and lathers well.

Laundry soaps:
These contain fillers like sodium rosinate, sodium silicate, borax and soium carbonate. Hard water contains calcium and magnesium ions which form insoluble calcium and magnesium soaps respectively when sodium or potassium soaps are dissolved in hand water.

These insoluble soaps separate as scum in water and are useless as cleansing agent. This precipitate adheres onto the fibre of the cloth as gummy mass and hinders good washing.

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 16 Chemistry in Everyday Life

2. Synthetic Detergents:
Cleaning agents which have all properties of soaps but actually do not contain any soap. These can be used both in soft and hard water. They are mainly classified into 3 categories.

  • Anionic detergents: They are sodium salts of sulphonated long chain alcohols or hydrocarbons, e.g. Sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate.
  • Cationic detergents: They are quarternary ammonium salts of amines with acetate, chlorides or bromides as anions. Cationic part possess a long hydrocarbon chain and a positive charge on nitrogen atom. e.g. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.
  • Non-ionic detergents: They do not contain any ion in their constitution, e.g. detergent formed by the reaction between stearic acid and polyethylene glycol. Liquid dishwashing detergents are non-ionic type.

The hydrocarbon chain of synthetic detergents is highly branched. Bacteria cannot degrade this easily. Slow degradation of detergents leads to their accumulation. The branching of the hydrocarbon chain is now a days controlled and kept to the minimum. Unbranched chains can be biodegraded more easily and hence pollution is prevented.

Supplementary Material
Antioxidants in Food:
These are important and necessary food additives which help in food preservation by retarding the action of oxygen on food. These are more reactive towards oxygen than the food material which they are protecting, e.g. Butylated Hydroxy Toluene (BHT), Butylated Hydroxy Anisole (BHA).

The addition of BHA to butter increases its shelf life from months to years. Sometimes BHT and BHA along with citric acid are added to produce more effect. Sulphur dioxide and sulphite are useful antioxidants for wine and beer, sugarsyrups and cut, peeled or dried fruits and vegetables.

Biomolecules – orgainic compounds which build up living organisms and are required for their growth and maintenance.

Carbohydrates
Optically active polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or the compounds which produce such units on hydrolysis. These are primarily produced by plants, common examples – cane sugar, starch, glucose, cellulose etc. Sugars (saccharides) – carbohydrates are sweet in taste.

1. Classification of carbohydrates:
(i) Mono sacharides:
Carbohydrates that cannot be hydrolysed further to give simple units of polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones.e.g. glucose, fructose, ribose.

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 14 Biomolecules

(ii) Oligosacharides:
Carbohydrates that yield 2 to 10 monosacharide units on hydrolysis. Depending upon the number of monsacharides they are further classified into disaccharides, trisaccharides, etc. e.g. Sucrose, maltose.

(iii) Polysaccharides:
Carbohydrates which yield a large number of monsaccharide units on hydrolysis, e.g. Starch, cellulose, glycogen.

Reducing sugars-Sugars which reduce, Tollens’ reagent, Fehling’s solution. In these the aldehydic or ketonic groups are free. e.g. Glucose, Maltose, Lactose.

Non-reducing sugars-disacchrides in which the reducing group of monosaccharides are bonded, e.g. Sucrose.

Monosaccharides:
These are further classified on the basis of number of C atoms and the functional group present in them. If aldehyde group is present, it is known as aldose, and if keto group present, it is known as a ketose.
e.g.

  • Aldohexose – aldose containing six carbon atoms.
  • Ketohexose – ketose containing six carbon atoms.

Glucose:
Preparation:
(1) From sucrose (Cane sugar):
If sucrose is boiled with dilute HCl or H2SO4 in alcoholic solution, glucose and fructose are obtained in equal amounts.

2. Cyclic Structure of Glucose:
Reactions and facts that could not be explained by the open chain structure of glucose:

  • Glucose does not give 2, 4-DNP test, Schiffs test and does not form addition product with NaHSO3.
  • The pentaacetate of glucose does not react with NH2OH indicating the absence of free -CHO group.
  • Glucose exists in two different crystalline forms named as α- and β- forms.

To explain this behaviourthe following six membered cyclic structure (Hemiacetal structure) has been proposed. In this the -OH group at C-5 is involved in ring formation.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 14 Biomolecules 9

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 14 Biomolecules
The two cyclic hemiacetal forms of glucose differ only in the configuration of the -OH group at C1, called anomeric carbon. Such isomers, α-form and β-forms are called anomers. The six membered cyclic structure of glucose is called pyranose structure (Haworth structure).

(i) Sucrose:
This on hydrolysis gives equimolar mixture of D-(+)-glucose and D-(-)-fructose. The two monosaccharides are held together by a glycosidic linkage between C1 of α-glucose and C2 of β-fructose.

Since the reducing groups of glucose and fructose are involved in glycosidic bond formation sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.

Invert sugar. Sucrose is dextrorotatory but after hydrolysis gives dextrorotatory glucose (rotation +52.5°) and laevorotatory fructose (rotation -92.4°), the resultant mixture is laevorotatory.

Thus, hydrolysis of sucrose brings about a change in the sign of rotation from dextro to laevo and the product is named as invert sugar and the process is termed as inversion of sugar.

(ii) Maltose:
Disaccharide, composed of α -D-glucose. The glycosidic linkage is between C1 of one glucose and C4 of another glucose. The free aldehydic group can be produced at C1 of second glucose in solution. Hence, maltose is a reducing sugar.

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 14 Biomolecules

(iii) Lactose:
It is commonly known as milk sugar. It is composed of β-D-galatose and β-D-glucose, The glycosidic linkage is between C1 of galatose and C4 of glucose. It is also a reducing sugar.

4. Polysacharides:
They contain a large number of monosaccharide units joined together by glycosidic linkage.

(1) Starch:
Main storage polysaccharide of plants. It is a polymer of α -Glucose and consist of two components.

  • Amylose
  • Amylopectin

(i) Amylose:
Water soluble component, constitues about 15-20% of starch. Chemically it is a long unbranched chain with 200 – 1000 α -D-(+)-glucose units held by C1 – C4 glycosidic linkage.

(ii) Amylopectin:
Insoluble in water, constitutes about 80-85% of starch, branched chain polymer of α -D- glucose units in which chain is formed by C1-C4 glycosidic linkage whereas branching occurs by C1 – C6 glycosidic linkage.

(iii) Cellulose:
Occurs in plants, the most abundant organic substance in plant kingdom, a straight chain polysaccharide composed only of β-D-glucose units joined by glycosidic linkage between C1 of one glucose unit and C4 of the next glucose unit.

(iv) Glycogen:
The carbohydrates are stored in animal body as glycogen. It is also known as animal starch because its structure is similar to amylopectin. It is present in liver, muscles and brain.

5. Importance of Carbohydrates:
Essential for life in both plants and animals, honey is instant source of energy, cell wall of bacteria and plants is made up of cellulose, from cellulose we make furniture and cotton fibre, they provide raw material for many important industries like textiles, paper, lacquers, and breweries.

Proteins
(In Greek ‘proteios’ means primary or of prime importance). Chief sources of proteins-milk, pulses, fish, meat etc. They are also required for growth and maintenance of body. All proteins are polymers of a-amino acids.

1. Amino acids:
They contain amino (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 14 Biomolecules 14

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 14 Biomolecules
The hydrolysis of protein gives only a-amino acids. All amino acids have trivial names. Amino acids are generally represented by a three letter symbol, e.g. Glycene – Gly, Alanine – Ala.

2. Classification of Amino Acids:
Amino acids are classified as acidic, basic or neutral depending upon the relative number of amino and carboxyl groups in their molecules.

Neutral – equal number – NH2 and – COOH groups. Acidic-no. of – COOH group isgreaterthan -NH2 group. Basic-no. of – NH2 group is greaterthan – COOH group. Amino acids are again classified into

  • Essential amino acids, which cannot be synthesised in the body and must be obtained through diet
  • Non-essential amino acids, which can be synthesised in the body.

Properties:
Colourless, crystalline, water soluble, high melting solids and behave like salts. In aqueous solution, the -COOH group can lose a proton and – NH2 group can accept a proton, giving rise to a dipolar ion known as zwitterion.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 14 Biomolecules 15
Except glycine, all other naturally occuring α -amino acids are optically active. Most of the naturally occuring amino acids have L-configuration.

3. Structure of Proteins:
Proteins are polymers of α-amino acids and they are connected to each other by peptide bond or peptide linkage, whcih is an amide formed between -COOH group and -NH2 group. The combination of-NH2 group of one amino acid molecule with the -COOH group of another molecule results in the elimination of a water molecule and formation of a peptide bond -CO-NH-.
e.g. when -COOH group of glycine combines with the -NH2 of alanine, we get a dipeptide glycylalanine.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 14 Biomolecules 16

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 14 Biomolecules
If three amino acids join, it is tripeptide and if 4 amino acids join, it is tetrapeptide. When the number of such amino acids is more than 10, it is called polypeptide. A polypeptide with more than hundred amino acids is called a protein, e.g. insuline contains 51 amino acids.

Classification of Proteins:
(a) Fibrous Proteins:
When the polypeptide chains run parallel and are held together by hydrogen and disulphide bonds, then fibre-like structure is formed. They are insoluble in water, e.g. Keratin (present in nail, wood, silk), Myosin (present in muscles).

(b) Globular Proteins:
The chains of polypeptide coil around to give a spherical shape. They are soluble in water, e.g. Insulin, egg albumins.

(i) Primary Structure of Proteins:
It refers to the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain.

(ii) Secondary Structure of proteins:
It refers to the shape in which a long polypeptide chain can exist. They are found to exist in two different types of structures.
α -helix and β-pleated sheet structure.

In β-Helix a polypeptide chain forms all possible hydrogen bonds by twisting into a right handed screw (helix) with the -NH2 group of each amino acid residue hydrogen bonded to the C = O of an adjacent turn of the helix.

In β -structure all peptide chains are stretched out to nearly maxium extension and then laid side by side which are held together by intermolecular H-bonds. The structure resembles the pleated folds of drapery.

(iii) Tertiary structure of proteins:
It represents overall folding of the polypeptide chains. It gives rise to two major molecular shapes such as fibrous and globular.

(iv) Quaternary structure of proteins:
It refers to the spatial arrangement of the subunits (polypeptide chains) with respect to each other.

4. Denaturation of Proteins:
When a protein in its native form, is subjected to physical change like change in temperature or chemical change like change in pH, the H-bonds are disturbed, and the protein loses its biological activity. This is called denaturation of protein.e.g. Curdling of milk, Coagulation of egg white.

Enzymes
They are biological catalysts. Almost all enzymes are globular proteins. They are very specific for a particular reaction and for a particular substrate. The ending of the name of an enzyme is -ase. They are generally named after the compound or class of compounds upon which they work.

e.g. Maltase (catalyses hydrolysis of maltose into glucose). They are also named after the reaction, where they are used. e.g. Oxidoreductase-enzymes which catalyse the oxidation of one substrate with simultaneous reduction of another substrate.

Vitamins
Organic compounds required in the diet in small amounts to perform specific biological functions for normal maintenance of optimum growth and health of the organism. Vitamins are designated by alphabets A, B, C, D, etc.

1. Classification of Vitamins:
(i) Fat Soluble Vitamins:
Vitamins soluble in fat and oils but insoluble in water, e.g. Vitamins A, D, E, and K. They are stored in liver and adipose tissues.

(ii) Water Soluble Vitamins:
vitamins soluble in water, e.g. B group vitamins and vitamin C. These must be supplied regularly in diet because they are readily excreted in urine and cannot be stored in body (except vitamin B12).

Nucleic Acids
The particles in nucleus of the cell, responsible for heredity, are chromosomes, which are made up of proteins and another type of biomolecules called nucleic acids. These are mainly of two types: DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) and RNA (Ribo Nucleic Acid).

1. Chemical Composition of Nucleic Acids:
Complete hydrolysis of DNA (or RNA) yields a pentose sugar, phosphoric acid and nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds (called bases). In DNA molecules, the sugar is β -D-2-deoxyribose where as in RNA molecule it is β-D-ribose.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 14 Biomolecules 18

DNA contains 4 bases – adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine(C) and thymine (T). RNA contains the first three bases and Uracil (U) instead of thymine(T).

2. Structure of Nucleic Acid:
A unit formed by the attachment of a base to Y position of sugar is known as nucleoside. When nucleoside is linked to phosphoric acid at 5′ position of sugar unit, we get nucleotide.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 14 Biomolecules 19
Nucleotides are joined together by phosphodiester linkage between 5′ and 3′ carbon atoms of the pentose sugar.

James Watson and Francis Crick gave a double strand helix structure for DNA. Two nucleic acid chains are wound about each other and held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of bases.

The two strands are compementary to each other because the H-bonds are formed between specific pairs of bases. Adenine forms H- bond with thymine (-A=T-) whereas cytosine forms H-bonds with guanine (- c = G-).

In RNA molecules helices are single stranded. They are of 3 types – messenger RNA (m-RNA), ribosormal RNA (r-RNA) and transfer RNA (t-RNA).

3. Biological Functions of Nucleic Acids:
DNA- chemical basis of heredity, regarded as the reserve of genetic information, exclusively responsible for maintaining the identity of different species of organisms, capable of self duplication during cell division and identical DNA strands are transferred to daughter cells. Another important function of nucleic acids is the protein synthesis in the cell.

Hormones:
Molecules that act as intercellular messengers .produced by endocrine glands in the body and are poured directly in the blood stream which transports them to the site of action. Chemically, they belong to different classes of compounds such as steriods (e.g., estrogens and antrogens), polypeptides (e.g., insulin, endorphins) and amino acid derivatives (e.g., epinephrine, norepinephrine).

Functions of Hormones: Helps to maintain the balance of biological activities in the body. e.g.

  1. Insulin plays an important role in keeping the blood glucose level within the narrow limit. It is released in response to the rapid rise in blood glucose level.
  2. Gglucagon tends to increase the glucose level in the blood. The two hormones, insulin and glucagon together regulate the glucose level in the blood.
  3. Epinephrine and norepinephrine mediate responses to external stimuli.

Growth hormones and sex hormones play role in growth and development, e.g.

Thyroxine:
Produced in thyroid gland. It is an iodinated derivative of amino acid tyrosine. Abnormally low level of thyroxine leads to hypothyroidism, characterised by lethargyness and obesity.

Increased level of thyroxine causes hyperthyroidism and enlargement of the thyroid gland. This condition can be controlled by adding Nal to commercial table salt (“Iodised” salt).

Hormones released by adrenal cortex play very important role in the functions of the body. e.g.

  1. Glucocorticoids: control the carbohydrate metabolism, modulate inflammatory reactions, and are involved in reactions to stress.
  2. Mineralocorticoids: control the level of excretion of water and salt by the kidney.

Addison’s disease:
Caused by the malfunctioning of adrenal cortex. It is characterised by . hypoglycemia, weakness and increased susceptibility to stress. It is a fatal disease unless treated by glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids.

Sex hormones: Released by gonads (testes in males and ovaries in females). These are responsible for the development of secondary sex characters, eg.

  1. Testosterone: Major male sex hormone, responsible for development of secondary male characteristics.
  2. Estradiol: Main famale sex hormone, responsible for secondary female characteristics in females, participates in the control of menstrual cycle.
  3. Progesterone: Female sex hormone responsible for preparing the utreus for implantation of fertilised egg.

CH3 – NH2, C6H5NH2, CH3 – NH -CH3, CH3N(CH3)2

Structure:
Amines have pyramidal shape and the N atom is sp3 hybridised. The three sp3 hybrid orbitals are bonded with carbon atom and the fourth orbital contains an unshared pair of electrones.

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 13 Amines

Classification
Amines are classified as 1°, 2°, and 3° depending upon the number of alkyl/aryl groups in NH3.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 13 Amines 1

Nomenclature

They are reduced to amines by using H2/Pd, Sn + HCI, Fe + HCI.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 13 Amines 3

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 13 Amines

(2) Ammonolysis of Alkylhalides:

R – X + NH3 → R – NH2 + HX
R – NH2 + R – X → R2NH + HX

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 13 Amines

(6) Gabriel Phthalimide Synthesis:
Phthalimide on treatment with ethanolic KOH forms its potassium salt which on heating with alkyl halide followed by alkaline hydrolysis produces the corresponding 1° amine.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 13 Amines 7

Aromatic 1° amines cannot be prepared by this method because aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution with the anion formed by phthalimide.

Physical Properties
Lower aliphatic amines are soluble in water because they can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The solubility decreases with increase the molar mass of amines due to increase in size of the hydrophobic alkyl part.

Amines are soluble in organic solvents like alcohol, ether and benzene. The boiling points of isomeric amines increases in the order 1° > 2° > 3° because association through intermolecular hydrogen bonding is more in 1°amines.

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 13 Amines

Chemical Reactions
(1) Basic character of amines:
Amines react with acids to form salts.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 13 Amines 8
Due to the unshared electrons on N atom, amines behave as Lewis bases. Basicity is expressed in Kb values or pKb values. Largerthe value of Kb, or smaller the value of pKb, stronger is the base.

Structure – Basicity Relationship of Amines:
The more stable the cation formed by protonation of the amine, more stable is the amine.

(a) Alkyl Amines versus Ammonia:
In gas phase:
Due to the electron releasing nature of alkyl group (+l effect) it pushes electron towards N and thus makes the unshared electron pair more available for sharing. Also the substituted ammonium ion formed gets stabilised due to dispersal of the positive charge.

Hence, alkyl amines are stronger bases than NH3. The order of basicity of amines in the gaseous phase is 3° > 2°> 1°> NH3.

In aqueous phase:
The greater the size of the substituted ammonium cation, lesser will be the solvation and the less stabilised is the ion. The extent of H-bonding and stability of the protonated ions follows the order: 1° > 2° > 3°. When the alkyl group is small there is no steric hindrance to H- bonding.

Thus, an interplay of +l effect, solvation effect and steric hindrance of the alkyl group decides the basic strength of alkyl amines in the aqueous state, e.g.
(CH3)2 NH > CH3NH2 > (CH3)3N > NH3
(C2H5)2 NH > (C2H5)3N > C2H5NH2 > NH3

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 13 Amines

(b) Aryl amines versus Ammonia: Aniline and other aryl amines are weaker bases than NH3 because, the – NH2 group is attached directly to the benzene ring. It results in the unshared electron pair on N atom to be in conjugation with the benzene ring and thus making it less available for protonation.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 13 Amines 9
But anilinium ion obtained by accepting a proton has only two reasonating structures.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 13 Amines 10
Thus aniline is more stable than anilinium ion. In the case of substituted aniline, the electron releasing groups like – OCH3, -CH3 increase basic strength where as electron-withdrawing groups – NO2, -SO3H, -COOH, -X decrease the basicity.

(2) Acylation:
Aliphatic and aromatic 10 and 2° amines react with acid chlorides, anhydrides and esters to form corresponding amides. 3° amines do not undergo acylation.

Acidity – Reaction with metals and alkalies:
Carboxylic acids evolve hydrogen with electropositive metals and form salts with alkalies.
2 R – COOH + 2 Na → 2R – COONa+ + H2
R – COOH + NaOH → R – COO Na+ + H2O

Carboxylate ion is more resonance stabilised than phenoxide ion. Hence, carboxylic acids are more acidic than pehnols.

Effect of Substituents on the Acidity of Carboxylic Adds:
Electron withdrawing groups increase the acidity of carboxylic acids by stablilizing the conjugative base through delocalisation of the negative charge by inductive and/or resonance effects. But electron donating groups decreases the acidity by destabilizing the conjugate base.

The effect of groups in increasing acidity is in the order: Ph < I < Br < Cl < F < CN < NO2 < CF3

Structure of Functional Group
Alcohols:
C of C – OH bond is sp3 hybridised. Bond is formed by sp3 – sp3 overlap. C – OH bond angle slightly less than the tetrahedral bond angle(109°28’) due to the repulsion between the unshared electron pairs of oxygen.

Phenols:
The -OH group is attached to sp2 C of an aromatic ring. The C – O bond length is slightly less than that in methanol. This is due to

  1. Partial double bond character on account of the conjugation of unshared electron pair of O with the aromatic ring and
  2. sp2 hybridised state of C to which O is attached.

Since the halogen atom is more electronegative than C, the C – X bond of alkylhalide is polarised.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 7
The C – X bond length increases from C – F to C – I.

Methods of Preparation
1. From Alcohols:
The -OH group of an alcohol is replaced by halogen on reaction with halogen acids (HX), PX3, PCl5, SOCl2, etc.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 8
3R – OH + PX3 H → 3R – X + H3PO3 (X = Cl, Br)
R – OH + PCl5 → R – Cl + POCl3 + HCl
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 9
R – OH + SOCl2 → R – Cl + SO2 + HCl
Thionyl chloride (SOCl2) is preferred because the other two products are escapable gases. Hence the reaction gives pure alkyl halides.

2. From Hydrocarbons:

(c) Sandmayer’s Reaction:
When a primary aromatic amine, dissolved or suspended in cold aqueous mineral acid, is treated with sodium nitrite, a diazonium salt is formed.

Physical Properties
Melting and Boiling Points : Lower members are gases and higher members are liquid or solids. Intermolecular forces of attraction are stronger in the halogen derivatives. Hence bp of chlorides, bromides and iodides are higherthan that of parent hydrocarbon.

The boiling points of alkyl halides decrease in the order Rl > RBr > RCI > RF. The bp of isomeric haloalkanes decrease with increase in branching. The bp of p-isomeric dihalobenzenes are higher than that of o- and m- isomers.

Solubility:
Haloalkanes are only very slightly soluble in water. But they, are soluble in organic solvents.

Chemical Reactions
a. Reactions of Haloalkanes: divided into three:

  1. Nucleophilic substitution
  2. Elimination reaction
  3. Reaction with metals

1. Nucleophilic Substitution Reaction:
The halogen atom is substituted by other nucleophiles.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 15
Nucleophilic substitution of alkyl halides:
R – X + \(\overline{\mathrm{Nu}}\) → R – NU + \(\bar{x}\)
Ambiden nucleophiles:
Groups possessing two nucleophilic centres, e.g. – CN, – ONO

Mechanism:
(a) Substitution Nucleophilic Bimolecular (SN2):
Reaction between R – X and Nu follows second order kinetics, i.e., rate depends upon the concentration of both the reactants. Consider the reaction of CH3 – Cl & OH
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 16

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
The incoming nucleophilic interacts with alkyl halide causing the C-X bond to break while forming a new C-OH bond. After the completion of reaction, the configuration of the carbon atom inverts. This process is called inversion of configuration.

The breaking and forming of bond take place simultaneously in a single step and no intermediate is formed. But a transition state is formed.

3° alkyl halides are the least reactive because bulky groups hinder the approaching of nucleophile. Order of reactivity: 1° > 2° > 3° halides.

(b) Substitution nucleophilic unimolecular (SN1):
Reaction between RX and Nu follows first order kinetics, i.e., rate depends the concentration of only one reactant. It occurs in two steps. In step I, the C – X band undergos slow.cleavage to produce a carbocation and in step II the carbocation is attacked by nucleophile, e.g.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 17
There is no inversion of configuration. 3° carbocation are more stable than 2° and 1 °. Hence the order of reactivity is 3° > 2°> 10 halides.

Allylic and benzylic halides show high reactivity towards SN1 reaction because the carbocation formed gets stabilised through resonance.

(c) Stereo Chemical Aspects of Nucleophilic Substitution:
SN2 reaction proceeds with complete stereo-chemical inversion while a SN1 reaction proceeds with racemisation.

Some Basic Concepts About Stereochemistry:
(i) Optical Activity:
Ability of certain compounds to rotate plane polarised light either to right or left. Such compounds are called optically active compounds. Dextorotary, d-form or (+)-compound which rotate plane polarised light to the right (clockwise direction).

Laevo rotatory, l-form or (-)- compound which rotate plane polarised light to the right (anticlockwise direction).

The (+) and (-) isomers of a compound are called optical isomers and the phenomenon is termed as optical isomerism.

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

(ii) Molecular assymmetry:
If all the atoms/substituents attached to the carbon atom are different, the carbon atom is called assymnietric carbon or stereocentre. The assymmetry of the molecule is responsible for optical activity.

Chirality:
Objects which are non-super impossable on their mirror image are said to be chiral and this property is known as chirality. The objects which are super impossible mirror images are called achiral.

Enantiomers:
Stereo isomers related to each other as non-super impossible mirror images of each other and which rotate the plane polarised light equally but in opposite directions.

They have identical physical properties. They only differ with respect to the rotation of plane polarised light. If one of the enantiomers is dextrorotary, the other will be laevo rotatory.

Racemic misture-mixture containing two enantiomers in equal proportions. It has zero optical rotation, i.e., optically inactive.

Racemisation-process of conversion of enantiomer into racemic mixture. A racemic mixture is represented by prefixing dl or (±) before the name.

(iii) Retention of configuration:
preservation of integrity of the spatial arrangement of bonds to an asymmetric centre during a chemical reaction or transformation. e.g. XCabc is converted into YCabc

(iv) Inversion, Retension and Racermisation
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 19

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
Retention of configuration – Compound A’only. Inversion of configuration – Compound ‘B’only. Racemisation – 50:50 mixture (A+B).

SN2 & SN1 Reactions of Optically Active Alkyl Halides: The product formed as a result of SN2 mechanism has the inverted configuration as compared to the reactant because the Nu attaches itself on the side opposite to the one where the halogen atom is present. SN1 reactions are accompanied by racemisation due to planar structure of carbocation.

2. Elimination Reactions:
When a haloalkanes with β – H atom is heated with alcoholic solution of KOH, there is elimination of H from β – C and a halogen atom from the α – C. Since β – H atom is involved in elimination, it is called β – elimination.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 20

Saytzeff Rule or (Zaitsev Rule):
In dehydrohalogenation reactions, the preferred product is that alkene which has the greater number of alkyl groups attached to the doubfy bonded carbon atoms. i.e., the more substituted alkene is the major product.
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 21

3. Reaction with Metals:
Alkyl halides react with certain metals, organo-metallic compounds are formed. Alkyl halides react with Mg in presence of dry ether to form alkyl magnesium halide (Grignard reagent).
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 22
Grignard reagents react with water to form hydrocarbons.
R – MgX + H2O → R – H + Mg(OH)X.

Wurtz Reaction:
Alkyl halide react with sodium in dry ether give hydrocarbons with even number of carbon atoms, i.e., double the number of carbon atoms present in the halide.
2R – X + 2Na R → R + 2 NaX

Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

b. Reactions of Haloarenes:
Aryl halides are extremely less reactive towards SN reactions due to the following reasons:
(i) Resonance effect:
Plus Two Chemistry Notes Chapter 10 Haloalkanes and Haloarenes 23
C-Cl bond acquires a partial double bond character. Hence, cleavage of C – X bond is difficult.

(ii) Difference in Hybridisation of C in C – X bond:

C sp3 hybridisedC sp2 hybridised
less s-charactermore s-character
C-X bond weakerC-X bond stronger

(iii) Instability of phenyl cation: the phenyl cation formed as a result of self-ionisation will not be stabilised by resonance.

(iv) Steric repulsion: it is less likely for the electron rich nucleophile to approach electron rich arenes.
