Introduction to Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry is the study of compounds thatcontain the element carbon.
• Organic chemicals affect virtually every facet of our lives.
• Products such as clothes, foods, medicines, gasoline, refrigerants, and soaps are composed almost solely of organic compounds.
• Because organic compounds are composed of covalent bonds, their properties differ a great deal from those of ionic inorganic compounds.

1. All organic compounds contain carbon atoms and most contain hydrogen atoms.
• Carbon has four valence electrons available for bonding.
• Hydrogen has a single valence electron and can only form single bonds.

4. Organic compounds may also contain elements other than carbon and hydrogen.
• Any atom that is not carbon or hydrogen is called a heteroatom.
• Each heteroatom forms a characteristic number of bonds, determined by its location in the periodic table.
• The common heteroatoms (N, O, F, Cl, Br, and I) also have nonbonding, lone pairs of e−, so that each atom is surrounded by eight electrons.
# of bonds + # of lone pairs = 4

In a condensed structure, all of the atoms are drawn in,but the two-electron bond lines and lone pairs on heteroatoms are generally omitted.
• A carbon bonded to 3 Hs becomes CH3.• A carbon bonded to 2 Hs becomes CH2.

• Sometimes structures are further simplified by using parentheses around like groups.
• Two CH2 groups bonded together become (CH2)2. • Two CH3 groups bonded to the same carbon become (CH3)2C.

Drawing Organic MoleculesSkeletal Structures
When drawing a skeletal structure:
• Assume there is a carbon atom at the junction of any two lines or at the end of any line.
• Assume there are enough hydrogens around each carbon to give it four bonds.
• Draw in all heteroatoms and the hydrogens directly bonded to them.

AlkanesIntroduction
Alkanes are hydrocarbons having only C–C and C–H single bonds.
• Alkanes that contain chains of C atoms but no rings are acyclic alkanes and have the general formula CnH2n+2.
• Acyclic alkanes are called saturated alkanes because they have the maximum number of H atoms per C atom.

An Introduction to NomenclatureThe IUPAC System of Nomenclature
• IUPAC stands for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
• The IUPAC system of nomenclature provides a system of naming organic compounds.
• Using the IUPAC system, each organic compound gets an unambiguous name.

Alkane NomenclatureNaming Substituents
• Carbon substituents are called alkyl groups.
• An alkyl group is formed by removing 1 H from an alkane.
• To name an alkyl group, change the “-ane” ending of the parent alkane to “-yl.”
• Each alkyl group has a bond that can then be attached to something else.

Physical Properties
• Alkanes contain only nonpolar C–C and C–H bonds.
• Alkanes exhibit only weak intermolecular forces, so they have low melting points and boiling points.
• Smaller alkanes are gases at room temperature, whereas larger alkanes are liquids.
• Alkanes are less dense than water, meaning that they will float on the surface of water.
• Alkanes are insoluble in water.

Combustion
• Alkanes have no functional group, so they undergo few reactions.
• Combustion is the only reaction of alkanes in this chapter. It is an oxidation reaction.
• In the combustion reaction, alkanes burn in the presence of O2 gas to form CO2 and H2O.

43
Combustion
• The products, CO2 + H2O, are the same, regardless of the identity of the alkane that undergoes combustion.
• Combustion of alkanes in the form of natural gas, gasoline, or heating oil releases energy for heating homes, powering vehicles, and cooking food.

44
Combustion
• If there is not enough O2 to react, incomplete combustion may occur, and carbon monoxide (CO) is formed instead of carbon dioxide (CO2).
• Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that binds to hemoglobin in blood, thereby reducing the amount of O2 that can be transported to cells.
