Section 1 Simple Organic Compounds
Organic compounds • compounds mostly found in living things and containing the element carbon
Carbon can form many compounds • Has four valence electrons • Can form 4 covalent bonds with atoms of elements • Can bond w/atoms of other elements • such as hydrogen and oxygen.
Can link together with other carbon atoms in many different arrangements • Chains • Branched chains • Rings • Can form single, double, or triple bonds.
Hydrocarbons • Made of hydrogen & carbon • Single Bond Series • Alkane (ends with –ane) • Double Bond Series • Alkene (ends with –ene) • 2 Carbon atoms share 2 electrons • Triple Bond Series • Alkyne (ends with –yne) • 2 Carbon atoms share 3 electrons
Saturated vs Unsaturated • Saturated hydrocarbons • Contain only single-bonded carbon atoms • Unsaturated hydrocarbons • Contain at least one double or triple bond
Section 2 Other Organic Compounds
Benzene Ring • AKA – Aromatic compound • Electrons are shared by all six carbon atoms in the ring. • Equal sharing of electrons • Shown as alternating double and single bonds • Causes the benzene molecule to be very stable
Benzene Ring C C C C C C
Substituted hydrocarbons • have one or more of their hydrogen atoms replaced by atoms or groups of other elements • Ex. Alcohol -OH • Organic Acids -COOH • Mercaptans -SH
Section 3 Petroleum – A source of Carbon Compounds
Petroleum • mixture of thousands of carbon compounds • Fractional distillation • process that uses the different boiling points of compounds to separate the individual carbon compounds in petroleum • Uses of petroleum compounds • Fuels, solvents, asphalt & plastics
Monomers • small molecules that form links in the polymer chain • Polymers • extremely large, chain-like molecules
Polymers • Can be made to have different properties • From light and flexible to strong and rigid. • These properties depend on: • The monomers used to make the polymer • Amount of branching in polymer molecule • How the polymer is shaped • Example: Polyethylene • Made when ethylene combines with itself repeatedly • Uses: • shopping bags, plastic bottles
