Atomic hydrogen, 6.32

A white solid, m.p. 178 C. Primarily of interest as a brominaling agent which will replace activated hydrogen atoms in benzylic or allylic positions, and also those on a carbon atom a to a carbonyl group. Activating influences can produce nuclear substitution in a benzene ring and certain heterocyclic compounds also used in the oxidation of secondary alcohols to ketones. 

Fischer-Hepp rearrangement The nitros-amines of aromatic secondary amines when treated with hydrochloric acid give nuclear substituted nitrosoamines. Among the benzene derivatives, if the para position is free the -NO group displaces the hydrogen atom there in naphthalene derivatives it enters the 1-position ... 

Covalent. Formed by most of the non-metals and transition metals. This class includes such diverse compounds as methane, CH4 and iron carbonyl hydride, H2Fe(CO)4. In many compounds the hydrogen atoms act as bridges. Where there are more than one hydride sites there is often hydrogen exchange between the sites. Hydrogens may be inside metal clusters. 

They are formed by heating dibasic acids or their anhydrides with ammonia. The hydrogen atom of the NH group is acidic and can be replaced by a metal. Mild hydrolysis breaks the ring to give the half amide of the acid. See succinimide and phthalimide. 

MarkownikofT s rule The rule states that in the addition of hydrogen halides to an ethyl-enic double bond, the halogen attaches itself to the carbon atom united to the smaller number of hydrogen atoms. The rule may generally be relied on to predict the major product of such an addition and may be easily understood by considering the relative stabilities of the alternative carbenium ions produced by protonation of the alkene in some cases some of the alternative compound is formed. The rule usually breaks down for hydrogen bromide addition reactions if traces of peroxides are present (anti-MarkownikofT addition). 

It is a typically aromatic compound and gives addition and substitution reactions more readily than benzene. Can be reduced to a series of compounds containing 2-10 additional hydrogen atoms (e.g. tetralin, decalin), which are liquids of value as solvents. Exhaustive chlorination gives rise to wax-like compounds. It gives rise to two series of monosubstitution products depending upon... 

Prepared by heating ammonium mucate, or from butyne-l,4-diol and ammonia in the presence of an alumina catalyst. The pyrrole molecule is aromatic in character. It is not basic and the imino-hydrogen atom can be replaced by potassium. Many pyrrole derivatives occur naturally, e.g. proline, indican, haem and chlorophyll. 

Both compounds are soluble in water and are readily hydrolysed to sulphamic acid, HjN S03" andammonia the hydrogen atoms are in each case replaceable by metals to form salts. Many derivatives of sulphamide and cyclic derivatives of sulphimide are known. 

Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons. Thus the carbon atom, with four equivalent electrons shares with the electrons from four hydrogen atoms. 

The carbon atom has a share in eight electrons (Ne structure) whilst each hydrogen atom has a share in two electrons (He structure). This is a gross simplification of covalent bonding, since the actual electrons are present in molecular orbitals which occupy the whole space around the five atoms of the molecule. 

Co-ordinate bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons, both electrons being donated by the same atom. Thus the hydrogen ion, has no outer electrons whilst ammonia has eight, six shared with hydrogen atoms and one lone-pair. This lone-pair is donated to the hydrogen ion and the ammonium ion is formed ... 

These consist of a chain of carbon atoms each carrying 0 to 3 hydrogen atoms except for the simplest molecule, methane CH. Each carbon atom is linked to four other atoms which can be either carbon or hydrogen. Their general formula is( 2 ... 

One or more hydrogen atoms can be substituted by a carbon atom or chain of hydrocarbons, in which case they are called isoparaffins or isoalkanes. 

The rings most frequently encountered in crude oils are those having five or six carbon atoms. In these rings, each hydrogen atom can be substituted by a paraffinic alkyl chain that is either a straight chain or branched. 

The hydrogen atom attached to each carbon atom in the hexagon has been omitted by convention. 

In this instance a second aromatic ring can be substituted for two adjacent hydrogen atoms giving condensed polynuclear aromatics, for...
