  1. Organic Chemistry study of carbon to carbon compounds

  2. Bonding of carbon atoms Carbon has 4 valence electrons Can bond with up to 4 elements at once to achieve an octet in the shape of a tetrahedron

  3. Carbon atoms share electrons in covalent bonds to form molecules • 1. single bond - One pair of e- shared between C’s, saturated) between carbon (C-C-C-C) • 2. double bond – Two pair of e- shared between 2 C’s, unsaturated) (C=C-C-C) • 3. triple bond - Three pair of e- shared between 2 C’s, unsaturated) ( C C-C-C)

  4.  Can form chains of unlimited length, variety and complexity •  Chains can be: • open (aliphatic) or branched • closed (ring or cyclo)

  5. ORGANIC PROPERTIES • Covalently bonded substances • Low melting points due to weak IMF’s • Nonelectroytes- poor conductors (except acids which are weak electrolytes) • Generally non-polar and insoluble in water (soluble in non-polar substances) • Slower reaction rates than inorganic compounds

  6. HYDROCARBONS • Molecules composed only of carbon and hydrogen atoms. • Homologous series: group of organic compounds with similar properties and related structures (differ by CH2) Alkanes (single bond between C’s, saturated) Alkenes (1 double bond between 2 C’s, unsaturated) Alkynes (1 triple bond between 2 C’s, unsaturated) • Count the number of carbons and add the appropriate suffix!

  7. Hydrocarbons C C C C C C Alkanes Alkenes pentane pentene Alkynes Aromatics pentyne benzene

  8. Alkanes(CnH2n+2) • SATURATED and SINGLE Bonds (can’t be • broken) • add SUFFIX –ane • Examples • CH4 = methane – natural gas • C2H6 = ethane – natural gas • C3H8 = propane – outdoor grills • To find the number of hydrogens, double the number of carbons and add 2.

  9. Alkenes(CnH2n) • UNSATURATED and DOUBLE bond • add suffix –ene • Examples • C2H4 = Ethene • C3H6 = Propene • C4H8 = Butene • To find the number of hydrogens, double the number of carbons.

  10. Alkynes(CnH2n-2) • UNSATURATED and TRIPLE bond • add suffix –yne • Examples: • C2H2 = Ethyne • C3H4 = Propyne • C4H6 = Butyne • To find the number of hydrogens, double the number of carbons and subtract 2 hydrogen.

  11. Expressing Formulas

  12. ISOMERS - Molecules that share the same • molecular formula, but have different • structural formulas. • Different chemical and physical properties • The more carbon atoms, the more isomers possible This is 1-butene, because the double bond is between the 1st and 2nd carbon from the end. This is 2-butene. The double bond is between the 2nd and 3rd carbon from the end.

  13. Substituted Hydrocarbons • Hydrocarbon chains can have three kinds of “dingly-danglies” attached to the chain. If the dingly-dangly is made of anything other than hydrogen and carbon, the molecule ceases to be a hydrocarbon and becomes another type of organic molecule. • Alkyl groups • Halide groups • Other functional groups • To name a hydrocarbon with an attached group, determine which carbon (use lowest possible number value) the group is attached to. Use di- for 2 groups, tri- for three.

  14. Naming Hydrocarbons with substitutions • Pick the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms. This is called the parent chain. Number each C in the chain. 2. Determine which carbon (use lowest possible number value) the group is attached to. 3. If more than one of the same type of groups is attached to the parent chain, a prefix is used: di-, tri-, etc. 4. If two or more substitute groups are present, arrange alphabetically.

  15. “Branches” are classified as alkyl groups. Methyl Ethyl CH3 C2H5

  16. Halide Groups

  17. Alcohol

  18. Location of hydroxyl PRIMARY (1o): the functional group is bonded to a carbon that is on the end of the chain. SECONDARY (2o): The functional group is bonded to a carbon in the middle of the chain. TERTIARY (3o): The functional group is bonded to a carbon that is itself directly bonded to three other carbons.

  19. Di and Tri-hydroxy Alcohols

  20. Organic Acid These are weak acids. The H on the right side is the one that ionized in water to form H3O+. The -COOH (carboxyl) functional group is always on a PRIMARY carbon.

  21. Aldehyde Aldehydes have the CO (carbonyl) groups ALWAYS on a PRIMARY carbon. This is the only structural difference between aldehydes and ketones.

  22. Ketone Ketones have the CO (carbonyl) groups ALWAYS on a SECONDARY carbon. This is the only structural difference between ketones and aldehydes.

  23. Ether Ethers are made of two alkyl groups surrounding one oxygen atom. The ether is named for the alkyl groups on “ether” side of the oxygen.

  24. Ester • Esters are named for the alcohol and organic acid that reacted by esterification to form the ester. • Esters contain a COO (carbonyl) group in the middle of the molecule, which differentiates them from organic acids.

  25. Amine • Component of amino acids, and therefore proteins, RNA and DNA…life itself! • - Essentially ammonia (NH3) with the hydrogen’s replaced by one or more hydrocarbon chains, hence the name “amine”!
