2. Organic Chemistry

3. What is organic Chemistry?

4. It’s like all about CARBON C

5. Covalent compounds that contain carbon are called organic compounds covalent compounds that don't contain carbon are called inorganic compounds

6. 2 reasons why organic compounds are important 1st: Living things are made from them (plants or animals) 2nd: Chemical that are contained in your body are nearly organic

7. Examples of Organic Compounds

8. Hydrocarbons the simplest organic compounds. They are made up of ONLY the elements carbon and hydrogen

9. Methane 1. Methane is also formed in swamps, and in the digestive systems of cows – anytime things decay without oxygen present, methane is formed.

10. 3 Hydrocarbons that contain 2 carbons Ethane= found in natural gas

11. 3 Hydrocarbons that contain 2 carbons Ethylene

12. 3 Hydrocarbons that contain 2 carbons Acetylene

13. 3 Carbon hydrocarbon Propane

14. 4 Carbon Hydrocarbon Butane

15. three isomers with the formula C 5 H 12 :

16. Linear Linear: (thermoplastic) soften when heated examples: Tupperware, plastic bottle Branched: (thermoplastic) soften when heated. Flexible, bendable. –Examples: Ziploc bag, plastic wrap Cross- Linked: (thermosetting) durable hard to break— -Examples: safety goggles, playground equip.

17. Isomers and polymers

18. Molecules like proteins, fats, carbohydrates, hormones, and DNA which are found in living things are all organic compounds.
