4. Organic Chemistry Introduction What is organic chemistry?
The study of carbon compounds
P 1-2.
Principle element: C
Other elements: H, N, O, X,
S, P, Si etc.
Every living organism is made of organic
chemicals.
The proteins, the DNA, the food,
the clothes, the medicines

5. What is studied from organic chemistry?
Compositions
Structures
Properties
Reactions
of organic compounds

6. Chemical Bonding Chapter 1 1.1 Structures and structural formulas of
organic molecules
1.1.1 Molecular formulas
Structural formulas of organic
molecules
1.2 Covalent bonds

7. 1. 1 Structure and Structural Formulas of Organic Molecules
A molecule is made of atoms that are
attached to one another.
The order of attachment
The atoms are interrelated and interact
on each other
1.1.1 Molecular formulas
Molecular formula represent the species
and the number of the atoms which
compose the molecule.

8. 1.1.2 Structural formulas of organic molecules
Ex.:
C2H6O
Alcohol
Dimethyl ether
(二甲醚）
CH3CH2OH
CH3OCH3
Structural formulas of organic
molecules
The order of attachment of atoms in the
Molecule.
P15, 1.8
Ch. P2-3
Representation
Dash formula(短线式):
Condensed formula(缩简式):
Bond-line formula(键线式):
CH3CH2CH2CH3

9. 1.2 Covalent bonds (P8, 1.5) Covalent bond is common nature
of all organic compounds.
The covalent bond, a bond that results
when atoms share electrons.
Molecule:
The neutral collection of
atoms held together by
covalent bonds.
Keculé structure(价键式)
Lewis structure
Octet rule(八隅体规则)
Out-most shell
H: 2 electrons
Others: 8 electrons
The atoms achieve
noble gas(惰性气体)
configurations

10. Strength of covalent bonds
The structural character of carbon
compounds: carbon atom with 4 bonds
The properties of covalent bonds:(Ch. P6)
Bond lengths(nm) : Average distances between
atoms
Bond angles
P15, 1.5
Chemical energy or
Potential energy
(键能)
Strength of
covalent bonds
Formation of covalent bond releases energy
Broken of covalent bond absorbs energy.
Polarity(极性) of the bond
Electronegativity
Dipole moment(偶极矩) (μ): (D)
