  1. Common Name Acetaldehyde • Systematic Name Ethanal • Molecular Formula C2H4O • Gram Formula Mass44.05 g/mol • Elements in Molecule Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen • Types of Bonds in Molecule Single and Double Covalent Bonds

  2. 1 Carbon can make four covalent bonds-Four unpaired electrons Hydrogen can make one covalent bonds-One unpaired electron Oxygen can make two covalent bonds-Two unpaired electrons

  4. Alcohol is converted into Ethanal in human metabolism. • Yeast and bacteria convert Ethanal to acetic acid in the vinegar making process. • Used in the production of wood and bookbinding glues known as polyvinyl acetates

  5. Vinegar is a very common food in most cultures around the world.

  6. Ethyl alcohol, found in foods and beverages, must be broken down into Ethanal in our bodies or it would reach a toxic level that would be lethal.

  7. 5 This is the reaction pathway in our bodies and in vinegar production

  8. I think food with be less interesting if Ethanalbecause we wouldn’t have vinegar for our salad dressing, pickles, or countless other recipes that include this sour product. • Ethanalis a colorless liquid that has a stong “green apple” smell and without it we might not have this flavor for our candy, gum, etc.

  9. When carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen bind together in Ethanal all of the atoms have full valence shells and benefit in being more stable than existing as atoms alone. • Since Ethanal reacts with oxygen to form acetic acid, the atoms can be more stable (benefit) when bonded together in acetic acid.
