    Study Notes

    Organic Compounds

    • Organic compounds are defined as hydrocarbons and their derivatives.
    • Carbon forms four bonds with other atoms.
    • Carbon's ability to bond with itself to form chains and rings is called catenation.
    • Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures.
    • Organic compounds contain functional groups.

    Functional Groups

    • Many common groups of atoms occur within organic molecules.
    • These groups are called functional groups.
    • These groups are responsible for the chemical properties of organic compounds.

    Properties of Organic Compounds

    • Most organic compounds are covalent and volatile.
    • They typically have low melting and boiling points.
    • Organic compounds are mostly non-polar, making them soluble in organic solvents.
    • Polar organic compounds dissolve in alcohols like methanol and ethanol.
    • Organic compounds can be classified into families based on their similar behavior.
    • A homologous series is a group of related compounds where each successive molecule differs by a -CH2- group.

    Hydrocarbons

    • Hydrocarbons are compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen.
    • Saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) have only single carbon-carbon bonds.
    • The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2.
    • Unsaturated hydrocarbons have at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond.
    • Alkenes have at least one carbon-carbon double bond and the general formula CnH2n.
    • Alkynes have at least one carbon-carbon triple bond and the general formula CnH2n-2.

    IUPAC Nomenclature

    • The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) provides a system for naming organic compounds.
    • The IUPAC name is based on the number of carbon atoms in the chain.
    • The stem indicates the number of carbon atoms, and the suffix indicates the class of compound.
    • For alkanes, the suffix "ane" is used.

    Major Sources of Alkanes

    • Coal, natural gas, petroleum, and living organisms are major sources of alkanes.
    • Coal gas, produced by heating coal in the absence of air, contains methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide.
    • Coal tar is a source of benzene and its derivatives.
    • Natural gas is a mixture of low-boiling hydrocarbons, primarily methane.
    • Petroleum is a mixture of alkanes of varying chain lengths.

    Uses of Organic Compounds

    • Alkanes are primarily used as fuels.
    • Propane and butane are widely available as liquid fuels (LPG).
    • Ethylene is a key starting material for the production of plastics, ethanol, acetic acid, and antifreeze.
    • Acetylene is used in welding, cutting metals, and the production of polymers.
    • Phenol compounds are used as antiseptics.
    • Methanol is a solvent for fats, oils, paints, and varnishes.
    • Organic compounds are used in the manufacturing of medicines, cosmetics, detergents, plastics, fertilizers, and dyes.
