    Study Notes

    Introduction to Organic Chemistry

    • Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds
    • Historically, organic compounds were thought to require a "vital force" found in living things.
    • Friedrich Wöhler disproved this in 1828 by synthesizing urea, an organic compound, in the lab.
    • Organic compounds are identified and classified by their functional groups.

    Unit Outcomes

    • Students will learn the historical development of organic chemistry and the classification of organic compounds.
    • General formulas for various organic compounds (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters) will be covered.
    • Developing skills to name and write molecular and structural formulas for these compounds.
    • Students will understand isomerism and possible isomers for alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
    • The major natural sources of hydrocarbons are covered.
    • Physical and chemical properties, and general methods of preparation of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, benzene, and alcohols.
    • Uses of organic compounds in various applications (plastics, beverages, pharmaceuticals, soaps, detergents, dry cleaning chemicals, fuels, pesticides, and herbicides)
    • Demonstrasting scientific inquiry skills: observing, classifying, communicating, measuring, asking questions, interpreting data, drawing conclusions, applying concepts, predicting, and problem-solving.

    Historical Notes

    • Early chemists classified substances as either organic or inorganic based on their origin.
    • Organic compounds came from living things; inorganic compounds from non-living sources.
    • Friedrich Wöhler's synthesis of urea in 1828 challenged the vital force theory. His work was fundamental in separating organic from inorganic chemistry.

    Classification of Organic Compounds

    • Organic compounds are primarily classified based on their functional groups, which are specific groups of atoms within molecules that determine their chemical properties.
    • Common functional groups include alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters.

    Saturated Hydrocarbons (Alkanes)

    • Saturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons containing only single bonds between carbon atoms.
    • The general formula for alkanes is CnH2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms.
    • Alkanes form a homologous series, meaning successive members differ by a CH2 group.
    • These compounds are generally unreactive.
    • The boiling points and melting points of alkanes increase with increasing molecular size due to increasing Van der Waals forces.
    • Methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), butane(C4H10) are the first four members of the alkane group all of which are gases at room temperature.

    Nomenclature (Naming) of Alkanes

    • IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) system is used to systematically name organic compounds.
    • Naming conventions include using prefixes that represent the number of carbon atoms, and the suffix "-ane".
    • For example, methane (1C), ethane(2C), propane (3C); etc.
    • Branched chain alkanes are given an alphabetical order.
