Study Notes
Introduction
- Carbon compounds are crucial in daily life, found in foods, fuels, household items, fabrics, and pharmaceuticals.
- Hydrocarbons are compounds containing carbon and hydrogen.
- Organic compounds include hydrocarbons and compounds derived from them.
Bonding in Carbon - The Covalent Bond
- A covalent bond forms when atoms mutually share electron pairs.
- Sharing one pair forms a single bond, more than one pair forms multiple bonds (double or triple).
- Covalent compounds exist as molecules, typically as liquids or gases at room temperature.
- They generally have low melting and boiling points, and are often insoluble in water.
- Covalent compounds are poor conductors of electricity in the molten or dissolved state.
Types of Covalent Bonds
- Single Bond (Hydrogen Molecule): Hydrogen atoms share one electron pair to achieve stable electron configuration.
- Double Bond (Oxygen Molecule): Oxygen atoms share two pairs of electrons to achieve stable electron configuration.
- Triple Bond (Nitrogen Molecule): Nitrogen atoms share three pairs of electrons to achieve stable electron configuration.
Allotropes of Carbon
- Allotropy is the phenomenon where an element exists in different forms.
- Carbon's allotropes include diamond, graphite, and amorphous forms like coal, charcoal, and lamp black
- Diamond and graphite differ significantly in their physical properties due to their different structures.
Carbon Compounds
- Saturated Hydrocarbons: contain only single bonds between carbon atoms
- Unsaturated Hydrocarbons : contain double or triple bonds between carbon atoms
- Homologous Series: a series of organic compounds with a similar structure and composition that differ by a -CH2- group.
- Examples of carbon homologous series include alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
Important Carbon Compounds
- Ethanol: a colorless liquid, used as a solvent and in alcoholic beverages, it reacts with Sodium metal to liberate hydrogen gas and reacts with Phosphorus trichloride to form ethyl chloride and with concentrated sulfuric acid at 170°C to form ethane.
- Acetic Acid: a colorless liquid (vinegar), used in various industries and reacts with bases to neutralize them.
Classification of Hydrocarbons
- Open-chain (aliphatic/acyclic)
- Carbocyclic (alicyclic/aromatic)
Nomenclature of Carbon Compounds
- Trivial: Common names
- IUPAC: systematic, universally used names
- IUPAC naming involves a root (number of carbon atoms), a suffix (type of bonds or functional group), and a prefix (other functional groups and their positions).
Chemical Properties of Carbon Containing Compounds
- Combustion: reaction in the presence of oxygen forming carbon dioxide and water.
- Oxidation: reaction with oxygen to form carbon oxides.
- Addition Reactions: typical of unsaturated hydrocarbons.
- Substitution Reactions : typical of saturated hydrocarbons.
Soaps and Detergents
- Both are cleansing agents, but detergents are better at cleaning in hard water.
- Soap is derived from fats and oils; detergents are synthesized from petroleum.
- Detergents are often less biodegradable than soap.
Isomerism
- Isomerism is where compounds have the same molecular formula but different structures and arrangement of atoms.
