AS Chemistry Introduction to organic chemistry
Candidates should be able: • to recall IGCSE work on crude oil and ‘cracking’. • in a request for a structural formula, to give the minimal detail, using conventional groups, for an unambiguous structure. • to draw and recognise displayed and skeletal formulae. • to recognise the shape of the benzene ring when it is present in organic compounds. • to interpret and use some of the terminology associated with organic chemistry. Learning Objectives
Why carbon? Carbon can form strong covalent bonds with itself to give chains and rings of its atoms joined by C-C covalent bonds. This property is called catenation and leads to the limitless variety of organic compounds possible.
Benzene – C6H6 Best representations – bonds are intermediate between single and double.

Compounds in Crude Oil • Alkanes • Cycloalkanes • Arenes (A2)
Key Terms • Homologous series: a series or family of organic compounds with the same functional group, whose members differ only in the addition of a CH2 group. • Functional group: the specific atom or group of atoms that confers a particular chemical property on a molecule, e.g. the –OH group in ethanol. • Saturated: the molecule contains the maximum amount of hydrogen atoms possible, with no double or triple bonds between atoms.

Candidates should be able: • describe structural isomerism • deduce the possible isomers for an organic molecule of known molecular formula. Learning Objectives
Structural Isomerism What are isomers? Isomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula, but have a different arrangement of the atoms in space. (That excludes any different arrangements which are simply due to the molecule rotating as a whole, or rotating about particular bonds.)
TYPES OF ISOMERISM CHAIN ISOMERISM STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM POSITION ISOMERISM Same molecular formula but different structural formulae FUNCTIONAL GROUP ISOMERISM GEOMETRICAL ISOMERISM Occurs due to the restricted rotation of C=C double bonds... two forms… E and Z (CIS and TRANS) STEREOISOMERISM Same molecular formula but atoms occupy different positions in space. OPTICAL ISOMERISM Occurs when molecules have a chiral centre. Get two non-superimposable mirror images.
What are Structural Isomers In structural isomerism, the atoms are arranged in a completely different order.
STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM - INTRODUCTION COMPOUNDS HAVE THE SAME MOLECULAR FORMULA BUT DIFFERENT STRUCTURAL FORMULA Chain different arrangements of the carbon skeleton similar chemical properties slightly different physical properties more branching = lower boiling point
STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM - INTRODUCTION COMPOUNDS HAVE THE SAME MOLECULAR FORMULA BUT DIFFERENT STRUCTURAL FORMULA Chain different arrangements of the carbon skeleton similar chemical properties slightly different physical properties more branching = lower boiling point Positional same carbon skeleton same functional group functional group is in a different position similar chemical properties - slightly different physical properties
STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM - INTRODUCTION • COMPOUNDS HAVE THE SAME MOLECULAR FORMULA • BUT DIFFERENT STRUCTURAL FORMULA • Chain different arrangements of the carbon skeleton • similar chemical properties • slightly different physical properties • more branching = lower boiling point • Positional same carbon skeleton • same functional group • functional group is in a different position • similar chemical properties - slightly different physical properties • FunctionalGroup different functional group • different chemical properties • different physical properties • Sometimes more than one type of isomerism occurs in the same molecule. • The more carbon atoms there are, the greater the number of possible isomers
STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM - CHAIN caused by different arrangements of the carbon skeleton similar chemical properties slightly different physical properties more branching = lower boiling point There are two structural isomers of C4H10. One is a straight chain molecule where all the carbon atoms are in a single row. The other is a branched molecule where three carbon atoms are in a row and one carbon atom sticks out of the main chain. BUTANE straight chain 2-METHYLPROPANE branched C4H10
STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM - CHAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHAIN ISOMERS ChemicalIsomers show similar chemical properties because the same functional group is present. Physical Properties such as density and boiling point show trends according to the of the degree of branching Boiling Point“straight” chain isomers have higher values than branched ones the greater the degree of branching the lower the boiling point branching decreases the effectiveness of intermolecular forces less energy has to be put in to separate the molecules - 0.5°C straight chain - 11.7°C branched greater branching = lower boiling point
STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM - POSITIONAL molecule has the same carbon skeleton molecule has the same same functional group... BUT the functional group is in a different position have similar chemical properties / different physical properties Example 1 POSITION OF A DOUBLE BOND IN ALKENES 1 2 2 3 PENT-1-ENE double bond between carbons 1 and 2 PENT-2-ENE double bond between carbons 2 and 3 There are no other isomers with five C’s in the longest chain but there are three other structural isomers with a chain of four carbons plus one in a branch.
STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM - POSITIONAL molecule has the same carbon skeleton molecule has the same same functional group... BUT the functional group is in a different position have similar chemical properties / different physical properties Example 2 POSITION OF A HALOGEN IN A HALOALKANE BUT 1 2 2 1-CHLOROBUTANE halogen on carbon 1 2-CHLOROBUTANE halogen on carbon 2 is NOT 3-CHLOROBUTANE Moving the chlorine along the chain makes new isomers; the position is measured from the end nearest the functional group... the third example is 2- NOT 3-chlorobutane. There are 2 more structural isomers of C4H9Cl but they have a longest chain of 3
STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM - POSITIONAL molecule has the same carbon skeleton molecule has the same same functional group... BUT the functional group is in a different position have similar chemical properties / different physical properties RELATIVE POSITIONS ON A BENZENE RING Example 3 1,2-DICHLOROBENZENE ortho dichlorobenzene 1,3-DICHLOROBENZENE meta dichlorobenzene 1,4-DICHLOROBENZENE para dichlorobenzene
