Organic Chemistry
What is “organic” chemistry? organic – carbon compound Includes the substances of “life” found in your body Hydrocarbons – compounds made of H + C Saturated – Carbons have all single bonds Fats that are solids at room temp. Unsaturated – Carbons have double and/or triple bonds Fats that are liquids at room temp.
Info about Carbon always forms 4 bonds very stable compounds Examples: because it has 4 valence electrons very stable compounds Examples: Pharmaceuticals (aspirin, vitamins, insulin) Petrochemicals (propane, butane, & octane) AKA: hydrocarbons

An example of carbon chains. Polymers An example of carbon chains.
Natural Polymers Carbohydrates Nucleic Acids DNA RNA Proteins
RNA DNA Nucleic acid polymers
Proteins are polymers of amino acids
Synthetic Polymers All plastics monomer + monomer = polymer Made from petroleum Long chains of carbon monomers monomer + monomer = polymer “polymerization reaction”
Examples of Synthetic Polymers Nylon Polyester Teflon Kevlar Plastics!!
