Unit #2 – Organic Chemistry

What you should be able to do by the end of this unit:

- demonstrate an understanding of the names and properties

of organic compounds and some of their reactions

- carry out laboratory tests and reactions involving organic

compounds

- describe the importance of organic compounds in consumer

products, technological devices and biochemical applications

- explain some of the issues related to the environmental and

societal impact of organic compounds

Organic Compounds

Organic compounds are compounds that contain hydrogen and carbon and sometimes other elements. Originally, the term organic was used to describe compounds that came from living organisms. However, chemists soon realized that organic compounds can also be made outside living organisms. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds made up ONLY of hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbons are subdivided into three categories: Alkanes = hydrocarbons that contain only single C—C bonds Alkenes = hydrocarbons that contain AT LEAST one double C=C Alkynes = hydrocarbons that contain AT LEAST on triple C C Drawing Hydrocarbons:

  • carbon always makes 4 bonds
  • hydrogen always makes one
  • we always draw carbons attached to each other and then fill in hydrogen Example 1: Draw a straight chain hydrocarbon that contains 3 carbons. What is the chemical formula of this hydrocarbon? Example 2: Draw and write the formula of the hydrocarbon containing 4 carbons.
