  1. Organic Chemistry • Organic chemistry is the study of all compounds of carbon (except CO, CO2, CO32-) • Organic compounds are compounds containing carbon, hydrogen and sometimes other atoms including O, N and Cl. 12 Chemistry 2.5 organic chemistry CR 07

  2. Organic Molecules are in: • All living things • Fossil fuels • Plastics, soaps, adhesives, paper, cosmetics and medicines…. • So why are there so many organic compounds? 12 Chemistry 2.5 organic chemistry CR 07

  3. Carbon atoms can form covalent bonds with other C atoms  chains and rings of C atoms • Carbon atoms form single, double and triple covalent bonds with other C atoms (and different atoms) • The same atoms can join together differently to produce isomers 12 Chemistry 2.5 organic chemistry CR 07

  4. An isomer has the same molecular formula but a different structure • eg. C4H10 H H H H • H-C-C-C-C-H • H H H H H H H • H-C-C-C-H • H H • H-C-H • An isomer has the same molecular formula but a different structure • eg. C4H10 H H H H • H-C-C-C-C-H • H H H H H H H • H-C-C-C-H • H H • H-C-H Straight chain Branched chain H H 12 Chemistry 2.5 organic chemistry CR 07
