Topics in CHE1230Hydrocarbons • Compounds that contain mostly carbon and hydrogen • Also called alkanes • Methane CH4 • Ethane CH3CH3 • Propane CH3CH2CH3 • Are called saturatedalkanes
Topics in CHE1230Hydrocarbons • Some alkanes are cyclic—cycloalkanes • Cyclopropane C3H6 • Cylcobutane C4H8 • Cyclopentane C5H10 • Cyclohexane C6H12
Topics in CHE1230Hydrocarbons • Some alkanes are substituted • Can have other hydrocarbon groups or halogens on them in place of hydrogen
Topics in CHE1230Hydrocarbons • Some hydrocarbons are unsaturated • Have double bonds or triple bonds in place of hydrogen in some places
Look Back to CHE1200 • REMEMBER--- • Carbon satisfies the octet rule by forming 4 bonds • Hydrogen satisfies the duet rule by forming 1 bond Ethane Ethene Ethyne CH3CH3 CH2CH2 CHCH alkane alkene alkyne
Topics in CHE1230Hydrocarbons • Unsaturated hydrocarbons can also be substituted
Topics in CHE1230Hydrocarbons • There is a special class of hydrocarbons called aromatic hydrocarbons • They are cyclic and unsaturated • Benzene is an example C6H6
Topics in CHE1230Oxygen-Containing Compounds Alcohols contain hydrocarbons plus an OH (hydroxyl) group
Topics in CHE1230Oxygen-Containing Compounds Phenols contain a benzene ring plus an OH group
Topics in CHE1230Oxygen-Containing Compounds Thiols contain an SH (sulfhydryl) group in place of the OH (hydroxyl) group
Topics in CHE1230Oxygen-Containing Compounds Ethers contain a hydrocarbon group on either side of an oxygen
Topics in CHE1230Oxygen-Containing Compounds Aldehydes and ketones contain carbon double bonded to oxygen
Topics in CHE1230Oxygen-Containing Compounds Carboxylic acids contain carbon double bonded to oxygen with an OH (hydroxyl) group in place of one hydrogen
Topics in CHE1230Carbohydrates • What are carbohydrates? • Sugars • Specialized oxygen-containing compounds • Can be • Monosaccharides (simple sugars) • Disaccharides • Polysaccharides (starch)
Topics in CHE1230Amines and Amides • Compounds that contain nitrogen • Amines can be primary, secondary, or tertiary
Topics in CHE1230Amines and Amides • Amides contain carbon double bonded to oxygen plus an NH group
Topics in CHE1230Lipids • What are lipids? • FATS!!!!! • Another type of oxygen-containing molecule • A combination of long hydrocarbon and a carboxylic acid • Fats can be saturated or unsaturated
What is Biochemistry? Biochemistry is the application of chemistry—both organic and inorganic— to living organisms
Topics in CHE1230Proteins • The nitrogen-containing compounds in your body are proteins • They are very large molecules • They are made of specialized molecules called amino acids
Topics in CHE1230Molecular Genetics • DNA • RNA
Topics in CHE1230Metabolism • What happens to the foods you eat? • Carbohydrate metabolism • Glycolysis • Citric acid cycle • Oxidative phosphorylation and electrontransport
Topics in CHE1230Metabolism • What happens to the foods you eat? • Lipid metabolism • B-oxidation • Talk about how carbohydrate and lipid metabolism are linked
Topics in CHE1230Metabolism • Talk about the role that insulin plays in both of them • Talk about American diets • Include protein metabolism as well
In Lab Today You Will Look at Various Properties of Hydrocarbons: • Addition reactions with bromine • Unsubstituted compound to a substituted compound • Oxidation reactions • Hydrocarbon to an alcohol
In Lab Today: • Flammability of hydrocarbons • Burn cleanly = alkane • Burns a little smoky = alkene • Burn very smoky = aromatic
In Lab Today: • Boiling Point Determination • From CHE1200 • What determines boiling point? • What kind of compounds have high boiling points? • Low boiling points?
