Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry: the study of compounds that contain CARBON and HYDROGEN

I. Why is carbon so special?

A.Carbon has 4 VALENCE ELECTRONS

B. Can form COVALENT CHAINS, RINGS, and NETWORKS C. Two adjacent carbon atoms can share up to 3 PAIRS OF e-D. A shared pair of electrons is represented by a DASH LINE

II.HYDROCARBONS – organic molecules that contain ONLY CARBON & HYDROGEN

A.SATURATED Hydrocarbons - all SINGLE BONDS between carbons 1. MAXIMUM number of HYDROGENS attached2. (C—C) SINGLE BOND

1 SHARED PAIR OF e- /2 e- TOTAL make up bond (C:C) Example:

B. UNSATURATED Hydrocarbons - at least one MULTIPLE BOND in carbon chain1. (C=C) DOUBLE BOND 2 SHARED PAIRS/4 e- TOTAL make up bonds (C::C) Example:

B. UNSATURATED Hydrocarbons - at least one MULTIPLE BOND in carbon chain (cont.)2. (C≡C) TRIPLE BOND 3 SHARED PAIRS/6 e- TOTAL make up bonds (C:::C) Example:

III. Properties of Organic Compounds A. Bonding: COVALENT/MOLECULARB. Solubility: most are INSOLUBLE in water (generally NONPOLAR) *LIKE DISSOLVES LIKE C. Conductivity: mostly NON CONDUCTORS *Only ORGANIC ACIDS IONIZE in solution = POOR CONDUCTORS D. Melting/boiling points: WEAK IMF’s LOW MP’s/BP’sE. Reactivity Rate: REACT SLOWLY; more bonds to break

IV. Types Of Chemical Formulas

A. Molecular Formula: shows the # OF ATOMS of each ELEMENT in a compound;

Ex: Propane = C3H8

IV. Types Of Chemical Formulas

B. Structural Formula: shows the # OF ATOMS of each ELEMENT AND the ARRANGEMENT of the ATOMSEx: Propane =

IV. Types Of Chemical Formulas

C. Condensed Formula = each carbon is written with its constituent hydrogens followed by the proper subscript Ex: Propane = CH3CH2CH3

Table Q Homologous Series of Hydrocarbons

HOMOLOGOUS SERIES: a group of RELATED COMPOUNDS in which each member differs from the one before it by ONE CARBON UNIT

Table P Organic PrefixesExamples: Convert the following using Tables P & Q 1) C3H8 ____________ 2) Propyne __________ 3) C4H8 ____________ 4) pentene __________ 5) C6H10 ____________ 6) hexane __________
