Study Notes
Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry
- Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds.
- Organic compound: a compound whose molecule contains a carbon atom.
- Organic compounds are synthesized in living systems (human body, plants, animals).
- They contain ionic bonds (polar) and are therefore soluble in water.
Hydrocarbons
- Hydrocarbons are the simplest organic compounds, made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms only.
- Example: methane CH4, where carbon atoms are attached to 4 hydrogen atoms.
- Organic (hydrocarbon) molecules can be:
- Straight
- Branched
- Form a ring
Structure of Hydrocarbons
- Expanded and condensed structure of hydrocarbons can be represented.
- Example: condensed structure formula of 2-methylpentane is CH₃-CH-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃.
Families of Hydrocarbons
- Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain hydrogen and carbon.
- Two main families of hydrocarbons:
- Aromatic hydrocarbons: contain a benzene ring (C₆H₆).
- Aliphatic hydrocarbons: do not have a benzene ring.
- Aliphatic hydrocarbons can be further classified into:
- Saturated (alkane) hydrocarbons: single bond (CnH2n+2, where n is the number).
- Unsaturated hydrocarbons.
