  1. Organic Chemistry Carbon-containing Compounds and their Properties

  2. Organic Compounds • Contain carbon atoms, often several per molecule • Possibly derived from living sources • About 90% of the known substances are organic. Most of these contain only a few kinds of elements: C, H, O, N, S • Most intramolecular bonding is covalent

  3. Organic Compounds • Many organic substances are flammable • Frequently, more than one substance of same overall formula – isomers • Important biomolecules are organic • lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, hormones, nucleic acids, etc

  4. Flammable C,H + O2  CO2 + H2O + energy Since organic substances contain C (and almost always H), combustion occurs forming CO2 and water

  5. H3CCHCH3 OH Isomers–Example:C3H8O H3CCH2CH2OH bp=97°C bp=82°C H3COCH2CH3 bp=8°C

  6. Organic Families • Millions of organic compounds exists • Grouped in families to correlate similar properties and to predict chemical and physical behaviors • Families are based on similar molecular structures, especially similar functional groups

  7. Organic Families • Functional groups • Sub-molecular units that are responsible for particular chemical and physical properties • May be single atoms; often are several atoms joined together • Molecules may contain several functional groups (or none) • Chemical Reactions often occur (or can be “designed”) that affect only certain functional groups, leaving much of molecular structure unaffected

  8. Organic Families • Molecules containing only C and H atoms with only single bonds are considered to have no functional group • Alkanes, a type of hydrocarbon • Still, these molecules can react; they undergo oxidation, or combustion, for example
