•Carbon is unique

•It has 6 electrons in its outer shell arranges 1s22s2sp2

•It has room for 4 bonds to 4 other atoms.

Organic compounds have specific geometry around the carbon to carbon bond

The carbon atom forms bonds in a tetrahedral structure with a bond angle of 109.5O.

So a chain of carbon atoms makes a zigzag pattern

•Introduction

•A hydrocarbon is a compound consisting of only hydrogen and carbon.

•The carbon to carbon can be single, double, or triple bonds.

•The bonds are always nonpolar

Triple.

Double

Note that in each example, each carbon atom has four dashes, which represent four bonding pairs of electrons, satisfying the octet rule.

Carbon-to-carbon bonds can be:

Single

(B) branched

Carbon-to-carbon chains can be

(A) straight

(C) closed ring.

•Identify the longest continuous chain.

•The locations or other groups of atoms attached to the longest chain are identified and numbered by counting from the end of the molecule which keeps the numbering system as low as possible.

•Hydrocarbon groups that are attached to the longest continuous chain and named using the parent name and changing the –ane suffix to –yl

Naming alkanes

Step-1 Identify the longest continuous chain

• Where is the longest continuous chain of carbons?

• “Lazy” way to write the Hydrogens

• Instead of drawing the bonds, just state how many hydrogens are attached

• NOTE: The bonds are between CARBONS in a parent chain, and not hydrogens!

Unsaturated Hydrocarbons• Can have more hydrogen atoms added

• Very important in biological systems• Alkene: hydrocarbon that contains one

or more carbon-to-carbon double bonds

• To show the presence of the double bond, the –ane suffix from the alkane name is changed to –ene.

– General formula of CnHn

• Simplest: ethylene, C2H4

• Ethylene is the gas that ripens fruit, and a ripe fruit Ethylene is the gas that ripens fruit, and a ripe fruit emits the gas, which will act on unripe fruit. Thus, emits the gas, which will act on unripe fruit. Thus,

a ripe tomato placed in a sealed bag with green a ripe tomato placed in a sealed bag with green tomatoes will help ripen them.tomatoes will help ripen them.

Naming of Alkene is similar to naming alkanes except:• The longest continuous chain must contain

the double bond.

• The base name now ends in –ene.• The carbons are numbered so as to keep the

number for the double bond as low as possible.

• The base name is given a number which identifies the location of the double bond.

• Alkyne: hydrocarbon that contains one or more carbon-to-carbon triple bonds

• Naming an alkyne is similar to the alkenes, except the base name ends in –yne.

• General formula of CnH2n–2

• Simplest: acetylene, C2H2

Alkynes

Properties of Alkenes and Alkynes

• Similar physical properties to alkanes

• Undergo more reactions than alkanes

– Addition reaction: add compounds across double bond

– Importantly, they can form polymers

Cyclic Hydrocarbons

• Carbon atom chains in form of rings

• Can be represented by structural formulas or symbolic representations

• Cycloalkanes and Aromatic Hydrocarbons– Cycloalkanes are alkanes (only carbon to carbon

single bonds) which form a ring structure.

• The "straight" chain has carbon atoms that are able to rotate freely around their single bonds, sometimes linking up in a closed ring.

• (B) Ring compounds of the first four cycloalkanes.

– An aromatic compound is one that is based on the benzene ring(C6H6).

– Structure: Alternating single & Double Bonding

–A benzene ring that is attached to another compound is given the name phenyl.

Functional Groups

• Group of atoms that gives a family of organic compounds its characteristic chemical and physical properties

• Alkyl group: derived from alkane by removing a H– R stands for alkyl group in general

– Halogens (F2, Cl2, Br2, I2,) can all add to a

hydrocarbon to form am alkyl halide.• When naming the halogen the –ine ending is

replaced by –o• Fluorine becomes fluoro• Chlorine becomes chloro• Bromine becomes bromo• Iodine becomes iodo

Halogens

Common examples of organic halides.

Alcohol Family• –hydroxyl(OH) group • Replace -e with -ol

• CH3OH, methanol, simplest

• Produced industrially

– Mainly a chemical intermediate

• C2H5OH, ethanol

• Made industrially and by fermentation– Industrially produced alcohol has noxious

substances added

• Small, simple alcohols tend to be toxic

Multifunctional Alcohols• Several common alcohols have more than one –OH

group• Ethylene glycol: main ingredient in antifreeze

• Glycerol: used in lotions

– Ingredent in some explosives

Ethers

• Two alkyl groups attached to same O– Example CH3CH2-O-CH2CH3

• Used mainly as solvent

• Little chemical reactivity– Insoluble in water– Highly flammable

Aldehydes and Ketones• Both contain carbonyl group (C=O)

• Aldehyde: R-CHO

• Ketone: R-CO-R’

Common Aldehydes• Change -e ending to -al

• Produced by oxidation of alcohols

• Formaldehyde – used as a preservative• Larger ones used as fragrances

– Benzaldehyde – flavor in maraschino cherries

Common Ketones• Change -e ending to -one

The red ants, like other ants, make the simplest of the organic acids, formic acid. The sting of bees, ants, and some plants contains formic acid, along with some other irritating materials. Formic acid is HCOOH.

• Tend to be fragrant– Methyl butyrate apple

Amines• Contain N

• May have 1, 2, or 3 alkyl or aromatic groups
