Organic Chemistry • Division of chemistry that studies carbon-containing compounds • Carbon – forms four bonds, and can easily bond with other carbon atoms and molecules • Inorganic Chemistry – deals with the chemistry of non-organic materials
Hydrocarbons • Compound consisting only of the elements carbon and hydrogen • Carbon can bond to itself to form single (alkanes), double (alkenes), and triple bonds (alkynes) • The bonds are always nonpolar
Hydrocarbons Refinery and tank storage facilities, like this one in Texas, are needed to change the hydrocarbons of crude oil to many different petroleum products. The classes and properties of hydrocarbons form one topic of study in organic chemistry
Hydrocarbons • Carbon to carbon chains can be straight, branched, or in a ring
Alkanes • CnH2n+2 • Name ends with –ane • C-C single bond • Saturated Hydrocarbon – each carbon is bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen
Alkanes • The alkanes through ten also include the following: • 6 carbons – Hexane • 7 carbons – Heptane • 8 carbons – Octane • 9 carbons – Nonane • 10 carbons - Decane
Alkenes • Contain carbon to carbon double bond (C=C) • Unsaturated Hydrocarbon – result of double bonds, less hydrogen • Name ends with –ene • Ethene is the gas that ripens fruit, and a ripe fruit emits the gas, which will act on unripe fruit. Thus, a ripe tomato placed in a sealed bag with green tomatoes will help ripen them
Alkynes • Contain carbon to carbon triple bond (CΞC) • Unsaturated Hydrocarbon • Name ends with -yne
Cyclic Hydrocarbons • Carbon to carbon bonds that form a ring of carbon atoms • Requires a minimum of three carbons • Add the prefix Cyclo- • The suffix still depends on the type of bond formed by the carbons (single, double, or triple) • Cyclohexane
Isomers • Same chemical formula, but atoms are connected differently • Example: fructose, glucose, and galactose
Functional Groups • In addition to the hydrocarbons, there are some functional groups you should be familiar with • Ethers, Alcohols, Ketone, Aldehydes, Carboxyl, Amines, Amides, and Esters
Ethers • Oxygen atom bonded to two hydrocarbons • R-O-R (R represents the “rest” of the hydrocarbon chain)
Alcohols • R-OH (OH = hydroxyl group)
Ketone • Carbon double bonded to an oxygen atom
Aldehydes • Carbon doubled bonded to an oxygen atom and single bonded to a hydrogen atom
Carboxyl • Carbon doubled bonded to an oxygen atom and singled bonded to an OH group
Amines • R-NH2
Amides • Carbon doubled bonded to an oxygen atom and linked to a nitrogen atom
Esters • R-COOR
