Organic Chemistry
Carbon and the Molecular Diversity of Life
Slide 3 / 123
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds.
Carbon is the backbone of biological molecule
Carbon has the ability to form long chains.
Without this property, large biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids could not form.

Slide 4 / 123
Organic compounds range from simple molecules to colossal ones
Most organic compounds contain hydrogen atoms in addition to carbon atoms
Organic Chemistry
Slide 5 / 123

Slide 11 / 123
Hydrocarbons are compounds made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms. There are two major categories: Aliphatic and Aromatic
Aliphatic hydrocarbons : compounds with carbon atoms connected in a straight chainAliphatic compounds consist of three classes of compounds:· Alkanes· Alkenes· Alkynes
Aromatic hydrocarbons : compounds with carbon atoms connected to form cyclic structure and with an aroma (smell or odor)
Hydrocarbons
Slide 12 / 123
Hydrocarbon chains made up of all SINGLE carbon bonds
They are also known as saturated hydrocarbons
They are “saturated” with hydrogens
Name uses the ending -ane

Slide 14 / 123
Aliphatic hydrocarbon: Alkanes
Slide 15 / 123
Hydrocarbons are non polar. All C-H bonds are nonpolar. As the number of electrons in the molecule increases ( larger molecules), it would be easily polarizable and hence the LD forces increases. This increases the bpt. of the higher alkanes.
