Organic chemistry
-
organic Chemistry is a study of complex carbon compounds
The term
-
organic chemistry "living"
-
organic compounds are covalent compounds containing carbon atoms bonded to
hydrogen as well as
oxygen , the halogens and nitrogen atoms
(Group VII)
-
organic compounds belong to families of similar compounds known as
'homologous series'
of
This is a
family similar compounds with similar chemical properties due to the
presence of same functional Group
<an atom or
group of atoms that determines the chemical
properties of a homologous series
The versatility of carbon !
carbon is non-metal in IV which forms
- a
group
acidic oxides and covalent bonds
Naming organic compounds
- The carbon atom in the chain can be linked
by
single , double or triple covalent bonds
Prefix Suffix
(number ofc ) (name of
homologous Series (
Meth =1 Ane = alkane
Eth=2 Ene= alkene
Anol/ol=alcohol Steps for drawing
Prop=3
Oic acid=carboxylic
But =4
acid
1- Draw the Carbon chain
Pent=5 2-Add functional group
Hex=6
3- Complete by adding H
making sure each carbon atom
forms 4 covalent bonds
A Homologous series shows the following characteristics : same functional group
- same general formula
-
display a trend in
physical properties
- share same chemical properties
