1. Organic Compound Notes

2. What is a compound?
A substance made of two or more elements chemically combined in a set ratio.

3. What is an element?
A substance that cannot be broken down into any other substances by chemical or physical means.

4. What is an element symbol?
One or two letter symbols identify most elements.
Example: H is for Hydrogen, O is for Oxygen, Ne for Neon

5. Writing chemical formula
The first letter of the chemical symbol will be a capital letter
Example: Carbon – C, Sulfur – S, Nitrogen – N
The second letter of the chemical symbol will be a lower case
Example: Calcium – Ca, Sodium – Na, Helium – He

6. Counting elements in the compound
Count the number of capital letters in the compound to identify how many elements are there in the compound.
Example: NaCl (salt) is made up of how many elements?
2 elements (Na, Cl)

8. Let’s practice How many elements in the following compound?
C2 H3 N
C56 H58 Cl14 Cu N16 S4
NaCl
H2O
CO2

9. Use Textbook 34-35 to identify the element of the following element symbol
B Li
H Ca
C Na
O Cu
P Cl
N Cr
S Cs Al

10. Compound
Inorganic
Organic

11. What is an organic compound?
All organic compounds contain the element carbon (C) AND contain other elements such as hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S).
Example: CH , CH OH
5th and 6th 7th period stopped 3 3

12. Elements that starts with C, but are not Carbon
Cl -- Chlorine
Co – Cobalt
Ca – Calcium
Cu – Copper
Cr -- Chromium
3rd period stopped

13. Is there a difference between the 2 substances?CO Co
2nd period stopped
Yes.
CO is a compound made up of Carbon and Oxygen
Co is an element Cobalt

14. What is an inorganic compound?
All compounds that do NOT contain the element carbon.
Example: H O, CaCl 2

15. Identify as Organic or Inorganic Compound
C3H5NO
NaCl
CuO2
CH3OH
C3H7NO2
CaCl
BeCl2
CdF2
C7H5NOS
C6H5Br
