1. Aim: Why do organic reactions occur more slowly than inorganic reactions? Combustion- Hydrocarbons (HC’s) will burn with sufficient amount of oxygen to produce H 2 O and CO 2.

2. Aim: Why do organic reactions occur more slowly than inorganic reactions? Substitution-involves the replacement of one or more of the hydrogen atoms in a saturated hydrocarbon with another atom or group. Addition- adding one or atoms at a double or triple bond.

3. Aim: Why do organic reactions occur more slowly than inorganic reactions? Esterification- reaction between an organic acid and an alcohol to produce an ester plus water. Esters are named by using the alkyl name of the alcohol followed by the acid group modified to end in “-oate.” Organic reactions

4. Aim: Why do organic reactions occur more slowly than inorganic reactions? Saponification- When an ester or fat reacts with an inorganic base to produce an alcohol. and a soap; A soap is a salt of a fatty acid.

5. Aim: Why do organic reactions occur more slowly than inorganic reactions?

6. Polymers- organic compounds made up of chains of smaller units covalently bonded together. Examples include synthetic plastics such as nylon, rayon, and polyethylene; natural ones are proteins, starches and cellulose. Monomer- each individual unit of a polymer.

7. Aim: Why do organic reactions occur more slowly than inorganic reactions? Polymerization- the formation of large polymer molecules. Addition polymerization- involve the joining of monomers of unsaturated compounds. Condensation polymerization- bonding of monomers by removing water from hydroxyl groups and joining monomers by an ether or ester linkage.
