Organic compounds are covalent compounds of carbon 1. Carbon forms the backbone of many compounds in living things, petroleum products and more & more synthetics animals ______________________________ plants ________________________________ synthetic _____________________________ Pure carbon : exists as graphite, diamond, & coal Each differs in their molecular structures and properties sugars, amino acids, carbs, lipids “ chlorophyll, cellulose nylon, polyester, plastics Petroleum, a whole industry takes crude oil (formed from dead plants & animals) and changes it into usable products.
1.Carbon has _____ valence electrons from family ____ on the Periodic Table. 2.Therefore carbon forms _____ bonds and if all single, the shape of the molecule is a ________________ 3.Carbon also may form double or triple bonds with itself. CC Physical properties of most organic compounds: 1.All nonmetals (C,N,O,H), therefore the bonds are strong _________ which form molecules (not crystals) called __________________ 2. Melting & boiling points are ___________ due to weak intermolecular forces Trend: the longer the chain, the ______________ the melting / boiling pts. CH 4 _____ C 3 H 8 _____ C 8 H 18 _____ C 20 H 22 _____ C 40 H 42______ methane propane octane paraffin wax road tar or asphalt 414 tetrahedron 4 covalent low higher gasliquid solid (natural gas)(gas grill)(gasoline) molecular substances
3. Reaction rates are __________ (except burning) breaking bonds 4. Symmetrical structures therefore they are _____________except the organic acids and alcohols. 5. Therefore, they are ______________ in water (polar) (“like dissolves like”) 6. Nonelectrolytes: ____________________________________________ Three types of formulas using butane as an example molecularstructural condensed structural C 4 H 10 – C – C – C – C – H H HH CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 Sometimes the H’s are just a line and understood to be there. slow nonpolar insoluble Solutions do not conduct electricity (no ionizing) except organic acids & alcohols which are polar – C – C – C – C – (strong covalent)
HYDROCARBONS 1.Compounds composed of just ____________ & ____________ 2.Saturated (unlike solutions, where no more will dissolve) all single bonds! 3.3 families 1) ______________ 2) ______________ 3) _____________ 4.Each forms a homologous series, the alkanes etc. There are groups of compounds with related structures & properties. Differ by a CH 2 group ALKANES ALKENES ALKYNES Fractional distillation- separation by different boiling points carbonhydrogen alkanesalkenesalkynes CH 4 C n H 2n+2 C n H 2n C n H 2n-2 C 2 H 6 C 2 H 4 C 5 H 10 C 3 H 4 C 2 H 2 no methene ! – C – C – ethane methane – C – – C = C – – C – C = C – C – C – – C – C = C – – C = C – ethene2 pentene ethyne propyneno methyne ! All single bonds 1 double bond 1 triple bond
ISOMERS _________________________________________ More than 4 carbons, isomers can occur. The longer the chain, the more isomers. Example: molecular formula C 4 H 10 can be drawn and named differently. Also C 4 H 8 Naming compounds: Count the longest chain of carbons, apply prefix. Number the carbons starting at the end closest to a branch or double or triple bond Apply the carbon number and indicate the branch before the chain Many chains?, use the prefixes di or tri for dimethyl or triethyl -C – C – C – C – C – C -C- -C – C- 2 methyl, 4 ethyl hexane C – C – C – C C – C – C C C = C – C – C C – C = C – C butane & methyl propane 1 butene and 2 butene Same formula, different structural formula, so a different name IUPAC – (the names we’re learning)
Use Reference table!!! Halides: Alcohols: Ethers: Aldehydes: halogens (F, Cl, Br, I) on the chain Cl – C – C – C – 2 chloro propane hydroxyl group on the chain – C – C – C – C OH 2 butanol O H - CHO ending butanal “-al” “- ol” oxygen bridge alkyl groups + “ether” – C – C – Odiethyl ether Organic solvents in pesticides Nonelectrolytes, polar, neutral pH Ethylene glycol “antifreeze”, glycerol (moistening agent in make up) Ex. formaldehyde
Organic acids Esters: Amines: Amides -COOH ending – C – C O OH “-oic acid” ethanoic acid 2 oxygens in the middle alkyl groups + “oate” on longest – C – C – C – O – C – C – ethyl propanoate O -NH 2 ending – C – C – C – C – C – NH 2 1 pentanamine “amide ” “amine” butanamide – C – C – C – C NH 2 O Solvents, polar, dissolve, acetone Electrolytes, ethanoic acid (vinegar) Fragrances and flavorings like pineapple, banana, wintergreen, orange B-vitamins, hormones, anesthetics, dyes Form proteins
1. Oxidation: 2. Substitution: 3. Addition: 4. Fermentation: burning fuels to make energy alkanes only, kick out a H alkenes or alkynes, add at the double or triple bond makes alcohol CH 4 + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O (+ energy) methane + oxygen carbon dioxide + water CH 4 + Cl 2 CH 3 Cl + HCl – C = C – C 2 H 4 + Cl 2 C 2 H 4 Cl 2 C 6 H 12 O 6 C 2 H 5 OH + CO 2 sugar ethanol + carbon dioxide zymase an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction
5. Polymerization: Addition Condensation 6. Esterification: 7. Saponification: 8. Dehydration of alcohols: links small C units called monomers into long chains n C 2 H 4 (– C 2 H 4 ) n usually a very large # removes water to make a long chain makes soap makes ethers acid + alcohol makes esters (sweet smelling substances) C 2 H 5 OH + C 2 H 5 OH + ….
