Organic Compounds Carbon compounds Made by living organisms A few carbon compounds are considered inorganic: carbon oxides, carbides, carbonates
Carbon Always share electrons Four covalent bonds
Organic Hydrogen Atoms near Carbon: nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus, halogens Other carbon atoms – form chains, branches, rings, cage-like forms Millions of different carbon-based compounds have been identified
Hydrocarbons Contain only carbon and hydrogen How many are there?
FYI Cracking Break large chains of hydrocarbons Process: absence of oxygen needs a catalyst Gasoline Plastic products films synthetic fabrics
One Example
Recall Types of Covalent Bonds
Methane CH4
Saturated Hydrocarbons All single bonds
Isomers Two or more compounds with the same molecular formula but different molecular structures. How many ways can you arrange C4H10?
Structural Isomers of Butane C4H10
FYI Stereoisomers
FYI Chirality
