Study Notes

Organic Chemistry

  • Molecules containing carbon are classified as organic compounds.
  • Carbon dioxide and molecules without carbon are classified as inorganic compounds.

Hydrocarbons

  • A hydrocarbon is an organic compound composed of only hydrogen and carbon atoms.
  • Hydrocarbons follow Huckel's Rule, which states that the number of π electrons (π e-) is equal to 4n + 2.

Aromatic Compounds

  • If an organic compound does not follow the four general factors of an aromatic compound, it is classified as aliphatic.
  • The four general factors of an aromatic compound are:
    • Cyclic (closed structure with no terminal unsaturated point)
    • Contain pi bonds
    • Follow Huckel's Rule (π e- = 4n + 2)
    • Other factors (not specified)

Hydrocarbon Derivatives

  • Hydrocarbon derivatives are formed when a functional group is substituted at one or more positions in a hydrocarbon.

Tetravalent Carbon Atom

  • The tetravalent carbon atom is the building block of structural organic chemistry.
  • Carbon compounds can be formulated with four covalent bonds to each carbon, regardless of whether the combination is with carbon or another element.

Lewis Structure

  • A Lewis structure is a representation of bonded electron pairs in covalent bonds as lines.

Importance of Carbon

  • Carbon is important because it can form up to four bonds (single, double, or triple) in rings or in chains.
  • Carbon is versatile and can form a wide variety of compounds.

Study of Organic Chemistry

  • Organic chemistry involves the study of carbon and its compounds.
  • Organic chemistry also involves the study of hydrocarbon compounds and their derivatives.

Learn about Huckel's Rule which states that if the number of pi electrons in a cyclic compound follows the formula 4n + 2, then it is aromatic. If the compound does not meet the criteria for an aromatic compound, then it is classified as aliphatic.
