Smells, Tastes & Functional Groups!
1. Functional Groups: are structural features that show up repeatedly in molecules and seem to account for some of their chemical properties(ex: smell).
What are the main functional groups? KETONE (carbon double-bonded to an oxygen)
What are the main functional groups? ESTER (carbon double-bonded to an oxygen & attached to another oxygen atom which is attached to another carbon)
What are the main functional groups? CARBOXYLIC ACID (carbon double-bonded to an oxygen & attached to another oxygen atom which is attached to a hydrogen)
What are the main functional groups? AMINE (carbon bonded to a nitrogen atom)
What are the main functional groups? ALCOHOL (carbon bonded to an oxygen bonded to a hydrogen atom)
What functional group is present in this molecule? carboxylic acid
5 Structural Formula: A drawing or diagram that a chemist uses to show how the atoms in a molecule are connected. It is a 2D picture of the molecule. Structural formulas show how the atoms in a molecule are put together. #3 on this page shows _____ (how many?) structural formulas. Molecular Formula: The shorthand notation a chemist uses to show how many atoms of each element are present in a particular molecule or the ratio of ions in an ionic formula. Ex: H2O
6. Bond: A connection between atoms in a molecule. In structural formulas, the covalent bonds are represented as _______________. Double bond = 2 lines together. How many lines would you need for a triple bond? ______. lines 3
yes We saw this in the smell lab—2 substances had the formula C4H8O2 but one smelled putrid & the other smelled sweet! **Question to ponder: Can molecules have the same molecular formula and smell differently? Answer: _________
A. Examine the following molecules. What patterns do you see in the bonding of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon & nitrogen? Vial K—Fishy, diisobutylamine Vial E—Minty, menthone a. How many bonds (lines) do carbons always have around them? ___ b. How about nitrogen atoms? ___ c. How about hydrogen atoms? ___ d. How about oxygen atoms? ___ 4 3 2 1
What do you think the rule HONC—1234 means? HONC 1234 H = 1 bond O = 2 bonds N = 3 bonds C = 4 bonds (H-1) (O-2) (N-3) (C-4)
How it’s done • Start with the carbon atoms. Connect them together. • Now insert the nitrogen, oxygen, or other atoms. Remember, they may connect on the ends of the carbon chain, or somewhere in the middle. • Fill in with the hydrogen atoms. • Problem-solve until you have the correct number of bonds for each element. ***Tip: things that can form more bonds are more likely to show up in the middle of the structure***
You try D. Draw each of the following molecules: • CH4 b. CH4O c. CH5N E. Draw C4H10 correctly, but in two different ways!
Isomer: two or more molecules that are composed of the same elements in the same proportions (in other words, they have the same molecular formula) (ex: C4H10 above) but differ in properties because of differences in structural formulas.
