ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
,Definitions
*
Organic Molecules → molecules
containing carbon atoms with the
exception of carbon monoxide , carbon dioxide,
diamond graphite carbonates ,
carbides and
, ,
cyanide s .
* Hydrocarbons → a
compound containing only carbon and
hydrogen
atoms .
* saturated compound → a
compound in which all of the bonds
between carbons atoms are single bonds .
* Unsaturated compound least
→ a compound in which there is at
one double and / or triple bond between
carbon atoms .
* Functional Group the centre
group of atoms that form
→ an atom or
of chemical activity in the molecule .
* series → compounds which have
Homologous a series of similar
the same functional
group
and
general
formula in which each member differs from
,
one c. Hz unit
by single .
* structure Isomers → compounds having the same molecular
formula but different structural formula .
,Carbon as an Element
*
Unique to
any other element in three ways :
① catenation -
the
bonding of atoms of the same element
into
longer chains .
C -
C -
C C → is able to form chains
long
-
② Forms polar covalent bonds with itself and other
elements .
③ All four valence electrons are available for
bonding . Carbon
atoms can form single double or triple bonds .
✗
→ valence electrons are ALL available
✗
for
✗ C ✗ bonding

* sources of carbon and carbon compounds :
① chief source of carbon in dioxide,
living organisms is carbon
carbohydrates are produced by photosynthesis
↳ 6 coz + 61-120 → CGH iz 06 t 602
② Oil coal and natural gas
,
③ carbon is the basic building block of
organic compounds . Carbon
recycles through the Earth's air
,
water soil and
living
,
organisms .

② Condensed Structural Formula :
* Atoms represented by chemical symbol
* shows the atoms are bonded but not all bond lines

are shown ( some can be shown )
Eg . CH 3 CHOHCH 3
③ Molecular Formula
* Atoms
represented by chemical symbol
* NO bonds are shown
* shows

,Naming Organic Compounds
Steps in
naming compounds :
1.
Identify the functional group
2.
starting from the side closets to the functional group , determine
the
longest carbon chain
3. Determine the substituents ( can be more than one)
4. write position of the substituents
5. Write the
prefix of the substituents ( in alphabetical order )
6. Write the the root prefix of the of the main chain .
Write the position of the functional
7.
group
8. write the suffix associated with the functional to
group
which the compound belongs .
