Study Notes
- Organic chemistry includes medicine, the environment, chemical biology, energy, natural products and asymmetric catalysis.
Question
- Butterflies, birds, giraffes, humans and plants are all made up of carbon-based compounds.
What is Organic Chemistry?
- A branch of chemistry deals with molecules with carbon and hydrogen.
- These compounds are called hydrocarbons.
Organic Compounds
- Carbon-based molecular compounds do not include CO(g), CO2(g), and HCN(g)
- Organic compounds make up living organisms
- These are widely used as natural and synthetic polymers.
Types of Hydrocarbons
- Hydrocarbons are categorised as saturated, unsaturated, and aromatic.
- Saturated hydrocarbons are alkanes.
- Unsaturated hydrocarbons are alkenes and alkynes.
- Aromatic hydrocarbons are arenes.
- Saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons are also called aliphatics.
Types of Organic Compounds
- Organic compounds are classified according to functional group.
- Types of organic compounds include: alkane, alkene, alkyne, haloalkane, alcohol, ether, ketone, aldehyde, carboxylic acid, amine, amide, and amino acid.
