    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.
