Study Notes
Learning Objectives for Organic Compounds
- Learning objectives include using molecular representations to illustrate organic compounds.
- Students will learn to identify formal charges and lone pairs of electrons on atoms with complete or incomplete octets.
- Functional groups, such as alkyl halides, alkenes, alcohols, and ethers, will be identified and illustrated as groups of atoms/bonds with predictable chemical behavior.
- The terms primary, secondary, and tertiary will be used to describe functional groups and carbocations.
- Simple alkyl halides, alkenes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, carboxylic acids, amides, and thiols will be named using IUPAC nomenclature.
- The focus of DNA is primarily on carbon rather than silicon.
- The reason for carbon being the basis of DNA instead of silicon is not explained.
- The learning objectives do not cover common names of organic compounds, only IUPAC nomenclature.
- The use of various molecular representations will aid in understanding organic compounds.
- Understanding formal charges and lone pairs of electrons is crucial for predicting chemical behavior.
- Functional groups exhibit specific chemical behavior and can be identified based on their structure.
- Naming organic compounds using IUPAC nomenclature is important for clear communication in the field.
