Organic Chemistry Carbon Oxygen Hydrogen
Organic Chemistry • The branch of chemistry that deals with carbon and the multiple bonds and structures it can form
Carbon Allotropes • As an element, carbon atoms can form different bonding arrangements, or allotropes. • The different allotropes have properties that differ due to the different arrangements of the carbon bonds.
Organic Compounds • contain carbon, and most also contain atoms of hydrogen. • May contain other elements • Oxygen • Nitrogen • sulfur • Phosphorus • and the halogens. • Hydrocarbons • contain only carbon and hydrogen
Hydrocarbons • Alkanes • Have carbon atoms that are connected only by single bonds. • fit the general formula CnH2n+2 • where n is the number of carbon atoms. • Three alkanes are methane, ethane, and propane. • Alkenes • Have at least one double bond between two carbon atoms. • have a general formula that is written CnH2n. • Alkynes • Have at least one triple bond between two carbon atoms. • Formula with one triple bond is written as CnH2n−2.
Ringed carbon Structures • The prefix cyclo- is added to the name of an alkane to indicate that it has a ring structure • Benzene: • is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon. • C6H6 • It can be drawn as a ring with three double bonds. • Link
Functional Groups • Organic compounds are commonly classified by the functional groups they contain. • functional groups are often responsible for how an organic compound reacts. • Because single bonds between carbon atoms rarely react • Functional group video
