Who wants to perform this rap with me?
Oh. My. God, Alkane. Look at that bond. It is SO pi. It looks like one of
those places you could do chemistry at. Who understands all that chemistry?
It only matters because you can totally synthesize molecules. I mean that
bond…it’s just so…nucleophilic…I can’t believe it’s so gerade…it’s
like…electron-rich…it’s just so…basic!
I like pi BONDS and I cannot lie!
You ‘lecrotphiles can’t deny
An ethene floats by with an sp2
And a bonding MO, too
You get charged!
Make a quick dipole
‘cause you’re fillin’ your p-shell’s holes!
Look at that orientation
All set for some oxidation
O-O-C
I wanna bond wit-cha
Like in the lit-cha!
My electrons try to shield me
But that charge you got makes (a real strong field, see)
NUU-cleophiles
you wanna do it backside-style?
Attack me! Attack me!
‘cause my carbon is primary!
Your bonds can bend fine…
To hell with that enzyme!
If it’s not
Hot
Entropy hurts us a lot
I’m tired of sigma bonds
With their scant two electrons!
If you ask me why
I approach the side…
The answer’s in the pi’s!
So H2! (gas) H2! (gas)
Have the lipids got pi bonds?
Tell ‘em to break ‘em
Break ‘em!
break those double bonds!
Carbon got bonds!
(Li shell with an F affinity)
I like MO’s…that are large
When I obtain a charge,
I just can’t myself,
I oxidize like KMnO!
Now here’s my real goal:
I wanna get your lones
And (uh!) double-bond (uh! Uh!)
I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout resonance
‘cause partial pi bonds don’t make no sense!
I wanna transfer your 2e-
So find that extra lone pair
‘lectrophiles don’t share
Makin’ our nucleus less bare
So I’m lookin’ at chem intros
saturated cyclos bondin’ like Os
You can keep them cyclos
I’ll oxidize ‘em like H-O
A word to e-rich non-metals
I wanna get settled
To the right of Al
And I don’t have a choice
That I gotta bond ‘till del-ta G’s gone!
Yeah I gotta have a bond!
A noble gas won’t like this song
‘cause he’s all set with his big octet
But I’d rather share some ‘trons
‘cause I’m large!
And I’m charged!
Comin’ in like an atomic barge!
So lone pairs! (yeah!) lone pairs! (yeah!)
Don’t you wish my protons would be there? (yeah!)
Then SN2!
Right on cue!
Even physicists have to shout:
“Backside attack!”
Back-side at-tack.
When it comes to nucleophiles,
Lewis got nothin’ to do with my selection
Neutral charge?
Only if the pH is 12.3!
So you like that substitution
In a .1 mol solution
But substitution might leave anions in that solution!
My distribution won’t be controlled unless you make di-poles!
You can make H-bonds or dipoles
But don’t give up that pair
Some H-bonds like to make those dipoles
And make it like that pair ain’t lone
But I scare ‘em
then snare ‘em
Then I’m the only one to share ‘em
So chemdraw says you’re flat
Well I ain’t buyin’ that
‘cause you’re sp3 and you’ve got enantiomers
And electron transfers!
‘roma-ticities that form benzene
You ain’t on my team
Gimme electrons
I can get on
4n + 2 is so wrong
Some isomers try to dis
‘cause your double bond is cis-
It has strain and it’s more unstable
A reaction’s much more able
So carbons if you’re just sp
And you wanna triple-bond relief
Dial 1-900-ALDRICH
and kick that Lewis base
