Organic Compounds
• Contain carbon and hydrogen
• Often combine with O,N,P and S
• Millions of organic molecules, make up more than 90% of all known compounds
• Covalently bonded: C – C or C – H are the most common types of bonds
![Page 9: Carbon Chemistry and Polymers](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033017/56813478550346895d9b57fd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
History of Organic Chemistry
• Until 1828, thought that there were only 2 types of molecules: Made by living organisms or man made
• Organic compounds were thought to be only made by living organisms
• Friedrich Wohler mixed Silver Cyanate with Ammonium Chloride to produce Ammonium Cynate
• Made UREA instead:
• AgOCN + NH4Cl (NH2)2CO + AgCl

Graphite
• Extremely soft and slippery
• The “lead” in pencils( mixed with clay)
• Carbon is bonded tightly in flat layers
• WEAK bonds so layers SLIDE easily

Crosslinking
• Cross-links are bonds that link one polymer chain to another
• They can be covalent bonds or ionic bonds
![Page 40: Carbon Chemistry and Polymers](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033017/56813478550346895d9b57fd/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Crosslinkingpolymers
When polymer chains are linked together by crosslinks, they lose some of their ability to move as individual polymer chains. For example, a liquid polymer (where the chains are freely flowing) can be turned into a "solid" or "gel" by crosslinking the chains together.

Hydrocarbon Combustion
• Combustion is a process that everyone has experienced. It is used to heat homes, to power automobiles, and even to produce electricity. Combustion is an exothermic reaction between oxygen and a hydrocarbon. Combustion requires a certain amount of heat to begin, but once started the reaction proceeds spontaneously generating water vapor and carbon dioxide along with large amounts of energy in the form of heat and light.

The Combustion Equation:
Complete Combustion of Methane:
CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2H2O
Methane + Oxygen Carbon Dioxide + Water
