Organic vs Inorganic Compounds OrganicInorganic In H2O Non- Conductors conductors in H2O Usually Usually do not combustible combust Solid, Liquid & Mostly solids gases common
What makes Carbon so special? • forms bonds with other carbon atoms readily • forms single, double, triple bonds to carbon • forms long chains and rings • found in all living organisms
Representing compounds molecular formula: C3H8. => no info about structure Lewis dot formula: H H H => gets messy H••C••C••C••H H H H •• •• •• •• •• ••
Structural formula: H H H => can get busy H-C-C-C-H looking H H H Condensed structural formula: CH3CH2CH3 or H3CCH2CH3 or CH3-CH2-CH3.
The interesting problem of isomers Different compounds with the same formula are isomers. Example; C2H6O can be CH3-CH2-OH ethyl alcohol or CH3-O-CH3 methyl ether
All isomers are different compounds of same formula. There are several kinds of isomers. The first kind we examine are constitutional or structural isomers have a different sequence and kinds of bonds between the atoms, as for ethyl alcohol & methyl ether.
Functional Groups... are groups of atoms, bonded in a particular way, that act as a unit having characteristic chemical reactions.
Functional groups often contain polar covalent bonds. Some examples of functional groups: alkene C=C alkyne C C alcohol C-OH ether C-O-C amine C-N
Hydrocarbons contain only C, H 4 types of hydrocarbons alkanes: contain C-C only alkenes: contain C=C alkynes: contain C C aromatic: contain 6-carbon ring, alternating C=C and C-C
Examples of hydrocarbons alkane: CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 alkene: H2C=CH-CH2-CH3 alkyne:H-C C-CH2-CH3 aromatic:
Alkanes have all carbons: * with 4 single bonds; * 109° bond angles.
