ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
is a study of compound containing C-H bond
The source of carbon is crude oil/ petroleum, using fractional
distillation
Hydrocarbon- a compound containing only carbon and hydrogen
Catenation - a property to form chain
Structural formula
& Empirical formula: the simplest whole number ratio of the
elements in compound
& Molecular formula: the total number of atoms of each element in a molecule CyH1o

Homologous series is a series of compound that have the same
functional group, differs from the next by a common structural
unit
- similar chemical properties
- a gradation in physical properties
- general molecular formula
Functional group is a group of atoms in molecule, that gives it
its chemical properties- this is the reactive part of a molecule
! No functional group in alkanes

Trends in boiling point
London dispersion forces is the weakest intermolecular force 1-5 carbons -> gas
Stronger attraction (+more spherical) -> higher boiling point 6-15 carbons -> liquid
>16 carbons -> solid
Naming organic compound
1. Identify functional group Metoxy group is the functional
2. Give numbers to carbon atoms group consisting of a methyl
- functional group should have the lowest number of C group, bound to oxygen< this
- OH is more important than halogens alkoxy group has the formula
- alphabetical order R-O-CH3
- 2-di; 3-tri
3. Write the name
Primary, secondary and tertiary organic compounds
Alcohols and halogenoalkanes are differentiated depending
on the number of carbon atoms attaches to the carbon with
-OH group

Naming aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and esters
- Aldehydes are named based upon alkanal
- Ketones are named as alkan-x-one
- Carboxylic acids are named based on alkanoic acid
