1. 1 Alkanes and Aromatic Hydrocarbons Organic Compounds Bonding in Hydrocarbons Naming Alkanes Properties of Alkanes

2. 2 “ The most important hypothesis in all of biology…is that everything that animals do, atoms do. In other words, there is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.” Richard Feynman (1918-1988)

3. 3 Organic Compounds  Contain carbon  Have covalent bonds  Have low melting points  Have low boiling points  Burn in air (oxygen)  Are soluble in nonpolar solvents  Form large molecules
