How would you account for the following :
(a) Aniline is a weaker base than cyclohexyl amine.
(b) Methylamine in aqueous medium gives reddish-brown precipitate with FeCl3. (Comptt. All India 2012)
Answer:
(a) In aniline, the lone pair of electrons on the N-atom is delocalised over the benzene ring. As a result, the electron density on the nitrogen decreases.
But in cyclohexylamine, the lone pair of electrons on N-atom is readily available due to absence of reelections. Hence aniline is weaker base than cyclohexylamine.
(b) Methylamine being more basic than H2O, it accepts a proton from water liberating OH ions.

Question 37.
Give reasons :
(a) Aniline is a weaker base than cyclohexyl amine.
(b) It is difficult to prepare pure amines by ammonolysis of alkyl halides. (Comptt. All India 2013)
Answer:
(a) In aniline, the lone pair of electrons on the N-atom is delocalised over the benzene ring. As a result, the
electron density on the nitrogen decreases.
But in cyclohexylamine, the lone pair of electrons on N-atom is readily available due to absence of π-electrons. Hence aniline is weaker base than cyclohexylamine.
(b) Because the primary amine formed by ammonolysis itself acts as a nucleophile and produces further 2° and 3° alkyl amine.

Question 38.
Give reasons :
(i) Electrophilic substitution in aromatic amines takes place more readily than benzene.
(ii) CH3CONH2 is weaker base than CH3CH2NH2. (Comptt. All India 2013)
Answer:
(i) Due to the strong activating effect of the NH2 group, aromatic amines undergo electrophilic substitution reactions readily than benzene.
(ii) In case of acetamide due to resonance, the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom is delocalized over keto group which decreases electron density hence less basic while in ethylamine due to +1 effect of ethyl group electron density increases on N-atom and hence basic character increases.

Question 39.
(i) Arrange the following compounds in an increasing order of basic strength :
C6H5NH2, C6H5N(CH3)2, (C2H5)2NH and CH3NH2

(ii) Ethylamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is not soluble in water.
(iii) Primary amines have higher boiling points than tertiary amines. (All India 2011)
Answer:
(i) Higher the pKb value, lower will be the basicity therefore aniline is less basic than methylamine because the
lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom gets delocalized over the benzene ring are unavailable for protonation due to resonance in aniline which is absent in case of alkylamine.
(ii) Ethylamine is soluble in water due to its capability to form H-bonds with water while aniline is insoluble in water due to larger hydrocarbon part which tends to retard the formation of H-bonds.
(iii) Due to presence of two H-atoms on N-atom of primary amines, they undergo extensive intermolecular H-bonding while tertiary amines due to the absence of a H-atom on the N-atom, do not undergo H- bonding. As a result, primary amines have higher boiling points than 3° amines.

Question 57.
Account for the following :
(i) Primary amines (R-NH2) have higher boiling point than tertiary amines (R3N).
(ii) Aniline does not undergo Friedel – Crafts reaction.
(iii) (CH3)2NH is more basic than (CH3)3N in an aqueous solution. (All India 2014)
Answer:
(i) Due to presence of two H-atoms on N-atom of primary amines, they undergo extensive intermolecular H-bonding while tertiary amines due to the absence of a H-atom on the N-atom, do not undergo H- bonding. As a result, primary amines have higher boiling points than 3° amines.
(ii) Aniline being a Lewis base reacts with Lewis acid AlCl3 to form a salt.
Important Questions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines Organic Compounds Containing Nitrogen Class 12 Important Questions 60
As a result, N of aniline acquires positive charge and hence it acts as a strong deactivating group for electrophilic substitution reaction. Consequently, aniline does not undergo Freidel Craft reaction.
(iii) Due to more steric hindrance in (CH3)3N it is less basic than (CH3)2NH.

Question 58.
Account for the following:
(i) Aniline does not give Friedel-Crafts reaction.
(ii) Ethylamine is soluble in water whereas aniline is not.
(iii) pKb of methylamine is less than that of aniline. (Comptt. Delhi 2014)
Answer:
(i) Aniline being a Lewis base reacts with Lewis acid AlCl3 to form a salt.
Important Questions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines Organic Compounds Containing Nitrogen Class 12 Important Questions 61
As a result, N of aniline acquires positive charge and hence it acts as a strong deactivating group for electrophilic substitution reaction. Consequently, aniline does not undergo Freidel Craft reaction.
(ii) Ethylamine is soluble in water due to its capability to form Fl-bonds with water while aniline is insoluble in water due to larger hydrocarbon part which tends to retard the formation of H-bonds.
(iii) In aniline due to resonance lone pair of electron of nitrogen atom is delocalised due to which it is weaker base than methyl amine.
Hence Aniline has high pKb molecule i.e., methylamine has less pKb molecule.

(ii) (CH3)2 NH is more basic than (CH3)3 N in an aqueous solution.
(iii) Primary amines have higher boiling point than tertiary amines. (All India 2016)
Answer:
(i) Aniline being a Lewis base reacts with Lewis acid AlCl3 to form a salt.
Important Questions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 13 Amines Organic Compounds Containing Nitrogen Class 12 Important Questions 65
As a result, N of aniline acquires positive charge and hence it acts as a strong deactivating group for electrophilic substitution reaction. Consequently, aniline does not undergo Freidel Crafts reaction.
(ii) In (CH3)N there is maximum steric hindrance and least solvation but in (CH3)2NH the solvation is more and the steric hindrance is less than in (CH3)3NH; although + I effect is less, since there are two methyl groups; di-methyl amine is still a stronger base than tri-methyl.
(iii) Due to presence of two H-atoms on N-atom of primary amines, they undergo extensive intermolecular H-bonding while tertiary amines due to the absence of a H-atom on the N-atom, do not undergo H- bonding. As a result, primary amines have higher boiling points than 3° amines.

Question 65.
Give reasons:
(i) Acetylation of aniline reduces its activation effect,
(ii) CH3NH2 is more basic than C6H5NH2.
(iii) Although —NH2 is o/p directing group, yet aniline on nitration gives a significant amount of m-nitroaniline. (Delhi 2017)
Answer:
(i) Acetylation of aniline reduces its activation effect because acetyl group being electron withdrawing group attracts the lone pair of electrons of the N-atom towards carboxyl group and the lone pair of electrons on N is less available for donation to benzene ring by resonance.
(ii) CH3NH2 is more basic than aniline due to availability of lone pair of electrons for donation while in aniline lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom is delocalised over benzene ring and thus unavailable for donation.
(iii) Because of nitration in an acidic medium, aniline gets protonated to give anilinium ion which is indirecting.

Atomic structure|| class 11th

 prepared by AKHILESH TIWARI 











UNIT 2 STRUCTURE OF ATOM

According to Dalton theory of atom(1808) - 

  •         All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.
  • ·        The atom consists of smaller particles such as electron, proton and neutron.
  • ·        These particles are regarded as fundamental particles.
  • ·        Dalton theory explained the laws of chemical combination

·        Dalton couldn’t explain the charge produced by rubbing ebonite

 with silk or fur.

DISCOVERY OF ELECTRONS

The electrons were discovered by conducting an experiment by using a simple apparatus known as Cathode rays Discharge tube  tube or Crookes tube.

  • ·        It  consists of a sealed glass tube of about 50 cm lengths.
  • ·        Two metal electrodes are fused to the ends.
  • ·        A side tube is connected to a vacuum pump.
  • ·        The discharge tube is filled with a gas under study.
  • ·         The two electrodes are connected to a source of high voltage (1000 V) And very low pressure .
  • ·        Croockes said that at very low pressure, air being conductor of electricity.

 

OBSERVATIONS  and properties :

  • ·        When the discharge tube containing the gas is at 1 atm pressure and at high voltage, the gas remains non conducting.
  • ·        When the pressure of the gas inside the tube is less than 1 mm of mercury, a dark space appears near the cathode.  This is known as Crookes dark space.
  • ·        When the pressure is reduced to 0.01 mm Hg, it fills the entire tube.
  • ·        When the pressure is further reduced to 10-4 mm Hg, the electric discharge passes between the electrodes  wall of  the tube  coated with ZnS (fluorescent screen) begins to glow.
  • ·       


This is due to the striking of some invisible rays from the cathode.

  • ·        These rays which start from the cathode and move towards the perforated anode, so called cathode rays.
  •    • They move in straight lines.
  • • These rays are called cathode rays or cathode ray particles.
  • • These rays deflect towards anode. These rays consist of negatively charged material particles called electrons.
  • • Properties of cathode rays don’t depend upon cathode material or gass filled in discharge tube.
  • • Cathode rays produce mechanical effects.
  • • It indicates that cathode rays themselves are negatively charged.
  • • When a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the path of cathode rays, they  get deflected in the direction expected for negative particles. This direction of deflection shows that cathode rays are –vely charged.
  • When cathode rays are allowed to strike a thin metal foil, it gets heated up.
  •  Cathode rays produce, x-rays when they strike heavy metals like tungsten, copper etc.
  •  Cathode rays produce fluorescence on glass walls, ZnS etc.
  •  Cathode rays penetrate through thin metallic foils.
  •  Cathode rays affect photographic plates.
DETERMINATION OF CHARGE TO MASS RATIO (e/m) OF ELECTRONS
  •  In 1897 J.J. Thomson determined the e/m of the electron.
  •  He measured the deflection of cathode rays under the simultaneous influence of electric and magnetic fields.
  •  A narrow beam of cathode rays is generated by electric discharge in a gas at low pressure.
  •  If an electric field is applied at right angles to the beam, the beam having negative charge is attracted to the positive plate of the field.
  •  the beam thus travels a parabolic path and strikes at another point on the screen.
  •  A magnetic field is now applied to the beam in a direction at right angles to that of the electric field.
  •  The beam undergoes deflection in the opposite direction.
  •  Deflection ∝ strenght of magnetic feild and electric field. 
                Deflection ∝ magnitude of negative charge. 
                Deflection ∝ 1/ mass of particles.  
  •   The strength of the two fields are so adjusted that the beam strikes the screen at the original position.

  •  Lighters the particle greater the deflection in the field.
  •  As voltage of electric field and strength of magnetic field increase deviation from orginal pathway increases .


           e – charge of electron
           Me – mass of electron

Charge on the electron

 

The charge of an electron was determined by Robert Millikan in 1909 by oil drop

experiment.

  • ·        In this method, a spray of oil droplets is produced by an atomizer.
  • ·        The oil droplets enter the apparatus through a small hole.
  • ·        It allowed to fall in between two charged plates.
  •         The motion of the droplets is observed with a telescope.
  • ·        The space between the charged  plates is irradiated with x-rays.
  • ·        The x-rays ionize the molecules of the air.
  • ·        One or more electrons produced may be absorbed by an oil droplet.
  • ·        The oil droplet as a result becomes negatively charged.
  • ·    By measuring the velocity of a given oil droplet as it falls freely under the influence of gravity and then in an electric field, it is possible to calculate the charge on the droplet. Q= n e
  • ·    This charge is considered to be electronic charge.
  • ·     The charge on the electron is found to be - 1.602 x 10−19 coulombs.
