Organic
Chemistry
Introduction
What is Organic Chemistry?
The study of
carbon-containing
compounds
made up of
non-metal elements
(covalent bonds)
Organic Compound?
Yes or No

Na2CO3
No
C2H6
Yes!
C4H6Br2F2
Yes!
Why Carbon??





Found in Nature ( ranked 17th in crust)
 Element
 Compound
Found in all living matter
Found in body tissue
Found in food
Found in fuels (coal, wood, petroleum)
Forms of Carbon

Term = Allotrope
 Same element
 Different bonding pattern
 Different arrangement
•Carbon exists in 3 solid forms
• Diamond
• Graphite
• Fullerene
Diamond

Tetrahedrally oriented

Hardest material known

Most dense form of Carbon

High melting point

Conducts heat

Does not conduct electricity
Graphite






Layers of hexagonal
plates
Soft
Feels greasy
Crumbles easily
High melting point
Conducts electricity
Fullerene







Discovered in mid 1980s
Found in soot
Spherical cages of
carbon
Hexagons and pentagons
Most stable is C60
C60 =
Buckminsterfullerene
or
Buckyball
No known uses
Diversity of Organic Chemistry

Due to uniqueness of Carbon
• Can bond to itself covalently
• Forms chains and rings
• Cyclohexane, ball and stick model
• Term = Catenation
Figure 3.1x5
Carbon bonds to elements

Carbon readily
bonds to :
–H
–O
–N
–S
– Halogens
 Cl, Br, F,I

Hydrocarbons
– Simplest organic
compounds
– Only contain
Carbon and
Hydrogen
(CxHy)
Formulas
Written representations of a compound
using letters (and sometimes numbers)
Molecular Formula
Indicates
 # of atoms

Arrangement of Atoms
ISOMERS are
compounds that
have:
– Same molecular
formula
– Different
structure or
arrangement

As # of carbon atoms
goes up
 # of isomers goes up
– C8  18 isomers
– C9  35 isomers
– C10  75 isomers
– C40 
69,491,178,805,831
Example of Isomers
Structural Isomers: same formula but atoms
are bonded in a different order
C4H10
Geometric Isomers
Order of atoms is the same but the
arrangement in space is different
Typically need a rigid bond (double or triple
bond). Don’t see this with single bonds!
