9.1 – Journal #1 Classifying Carbon Compounds Classifying Carbon Compounds: Use the structural formulas below to answer the following questions. 1.How many bonds does each carbon atom form in each of the compounds shown? 2.What is the chemical formula for each compound? Use the format C X H Y. 3.Classify the compounds into two groups. 4.Explain the classification system. 5.Define “isomer”. 6.Which molecules are isomers of one another?

9.1 – Journal #2 1.Define “polar covalent molecule”. Give an example of a molecule that is polar and draw where the positive and negative charges are. 2.Which of the following is NOT a molecule: CO 2, H 2 O, N 2, CH 4, MgO. Now, explain WHY it isn’t a molecule. 3.What is the name for all of the molecules that contain Carbon and Hydrogen (it’s a vocabulary word).

CARBON Structure, Bonds and Molecules

CARBON: Where is it in the Periodic Table? What is the atomic number and weight?

CARBON: What is the Lewis Dot Structure? How many electrons does it need? FOUR FOUR How many bonds will it form? FOUR FOUR What TYPE of bonds will it form? COVALENT!!!!

CARBON: What is the Lewis Dot Structure? What are all the ways Carbon can make FOUR COVALENT BONDS?

CARBON: What is the Lewis Dot Structure? All single covalent bonds ALKANES This is ethane

DOUBLE covalent bond to ANOTHER Carbon ALKENES This is ethene (or ethylene)

TRIPLE covalent bond to ANOTHER Carbon ALKYNES This is ethyne

CARBON: Unique in all the Universe! 6 th most common element on Earth Basis for MANY, MANY molecules

Carbon comes in many forms. Covalently bonded to other elements. Caffeine Methane

CARBON: Unique in all the Universe! To itself. Fullerene Graphite Adrenaline Nicotine Diamond (network solid)

CARBON: Unique in all the Universe! In chains. Propane - hydrocarbon Vitamins ( Carotene) Fats

In rings. Benzene Fullerene (Buckyball) Pyrene

In branches. DNA Fats - lipids

CARBON: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY CARBON IS UNIQUE AND FORMS MANY MOLECULES ORGANIC: from LIVING THINGS – always contain Carbon and Hydrogen (sometimes O) INORGANIC: non-living, or man-made Glucose = carbohydrate C 6 H 12 O 6 Polyethylene = plastics, - C 2 H 4

Organic Molecules: HYDROCARBONS As you add more carbon to the hydrocarbon, the molecule becomes heavier and properties change.

Organic Molecules: HYDROCARBONS How do we separate the different weights so we can use them? Fractional distillation. -refining4.htm VIDEO – REAL PLAYER

Organic Molecules: Hydrocarbons How do we use MANY hydrocarbons? COMBUSTION Burning coal: C + O 2  CO 2 Burning natural gas: CH 4 + 2O 2  CO 2 + 2H 2 O Burning gasoline: 2C 8 H O 2  16CO H 2 0 Incomplete combustion creates CO (Carbon monoxide) instead of CO2

Often times fossil fuels contain the elements NITROGEN AND SULFUR. When they are burned, they combine with water and create ACID RAIN. ALL combustion creates CO2 CO2 + H2O  H2CO3(Carbonic acid) Combustion of gasoline creates NO2 NO2 + H2O  H2NO3(Nitric acid) Combustion of coal creates SO3 SO3 + H2O  H2SO4(Sulfuric acid)
