paper, carbohydrates (sugars, starches), proteins, enzymes, fatty acids,
vitamins, drugs, textiles, etc.
• Inorganic Chemistry
– Study of the compounds of the other 117 elements
– The study of all substances other than hydrocarbons & their derivatives.
– Examples: water, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, ores & minerals, air, baking powder,
caustic soda, table salt, metal alloys (brass, bronze), etc.

Diversity of Organic Compounds
• What is the basis for the huge diversity of
organic compounds?
– The ability of carbon to from covalent bonds with
other elements (e.g. H, O, N and S) and itself
– Each carbon has 4 unpaired electrons in it’s valence
shell >>> each can be involved in one covalent bond
• Total covalent bonds formed by a carbon atom = 4
Bonding of Carbon Atoms
• Organic Chemistry is based on Carbon &
its ability to form chains.
– Carbon belongs to Group IV.A & has 4 valence electrons
– Carbon shares these 4 valence e- with other atoms to acquire a noble gas
arrangement of 8 valence e-
• To form a stable compound:
– Carbon always forms 4 covalent bonds (= shares 4 pairs of of e-)
Stoker 2014, p119
Basis for Formation of Organic Compounds
• What is the basis for the formation of organic
compounds?
– Ability of constituent atoms (within compound) to
achieve a stable configuration (octet rule)
– To achieve complete valence shell (satisfy octet rule):
•
•
•
•
•
Carbon forms four covalent bonds
Nitrogen forms three covalent bonds
Oxygen forms two covalent bonds
Hydrogen will form one covalent bond
Halogens (F, Cl, Br, I) form one covalent bond

Summary of Organic Compounds

Stoker 2014, Figure 12-2 p342
Key concept: valence shell, octet rule, atom/compound stability
When an atom adopts it’s most stable state,
how full is it’s valence (outer) shell?
What is the octet rule? What does the octet rule say about
the electron arrangement within an atom’s valance shell?
Are each of the atoms that make up an organic compound
more stable within the compound or as individual atoms?
G
Multiple atoms come together to form compounds, where the multiple atoms
are attached to one another via chemical bonds. For example, to form a H2O
molecule, an oxygen atom forms a covalent bonds to two separate hydrogen
atoms. Are the oxygen and hydrogen atoms more stable within the H2O
compound or as separate atoms and why?
a)
The atoms are more stable as individual atoms, as all of their electrons
are paired, whereas as within compounds the atom are more reactive as
some of the electrons are unpaired
b)
The atoms are equally stable when in the compounds and as
individual atoms
c)
The atoms are more stable within the compound, as all of their electrons
are paired, whereas as within the individual atoms some of the electrons
are unpaired and reactive
d)
The atoms are more stable as individual atoms as they can move about
more freely than when they are a part of a compound
The outer shell of a carbon atom contains four unpaired valence
electrons. The number of unpaired valence electrons an atom contains
is equal to the number of covalent bonds the atom is capable of forming.
Which of the following accurately describes the covalent bonding of a
carbon atom?
a)
Each of the four unpaired valence electrons must form a
covalent bond with another carbon atom to become more stable
b)
Each of the four valence electrons within the carbon atom can
covalent bond to each other to become more stable
c)
Each of the four valence electrons of a carbon atom can form a covalent
bond via electron sharing with other atoms such as hydrogen and carbon
d)
Each of the four valence electrons of a carbon atom can covalent bond
to more than one different atom simultaneously
Key concept: Saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons
What is the functional group
of a saturated/unsaturated hydrocarbon?
How is a unsaturated hydrocarbon
different from a saturated hydrocarbon?
For two compounds with an equal number of carbons,
does a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon
contain more atoms in total? Why?
Compounds composed of carbon and hydrogen are referred to as hydrocarbons.
Hydrocarbon derivatives can also have additional atoms such as nitrogen and
oxygen. Hydrocarbons are grouped into those that are saturated and those that
are unsaturated. Which of the following best describes the difference between a
saturated and an unsaturated hydrocarbon?
d
a)
The carbons within saturated hydrocarbons are connected to other carbons
by single bonds, whereas at least one carbon in an unsaturated hydrocarbon
connects to another carbon atom through a double or triple bond
b)
Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single carbon-carbon bonds,
whereas unsaturated hydrocarbons contain only double or triple
carbon-carbon bonds
c)
The carbons within unsaturated hydrocarbons are connected to other carbons
by single bonds, whereas at least one carbon in an saturated hydrocarbon
connects to another carbon atom through a double or triple bond
d)
Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain only single carbon-carbon bonds,
whereas saturated hydrocarbons contain only double or triple carbon-carbon bonds
Even though hydrocarbons only contain carbon and hydrogen they belong to one of three
functional groups, either the alkanes, alkenes or alkynes. One of the major differences
between these functional groups is the ratio between the carbon and hydrogen atoms, as
more double and triple carbon-carbon bonds within a compound reduces it’s number of
hydrogens. Which of the following best describes the differences between the
hydrocarbon functional groups?
d
d
a)
Both alkanes and alkenes contain the same number of hydrogen atoms, but alkynes
contain less hydrogen atoms due to the presence of one or more triple carbon-carbon
bonds
b)
Alkanes contain the most hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms, as there as
only single carbon-carbon bonds, whereas alkenes and alkynes contain less hydrogen
atoms due to the presence of double or triple carbon-carbon bonds
c)
Alkanes contain the most hydrogen atoms as they contain only single carbon-carbon
bonds, whereas alkynes do not contain any hydrogen atoms, only carbon atoms
d)
Alkyne compounds contain the most hydrogen atoms due to their triple carbon-carbon
bonds, alkenes have the next most hydrogen atoms and alkanes have the least hydrogen
atoms, due to the presence of only single carbon-carbon bonds

IUPAC Nomenclature vs. Common Names
• IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied
Chemistry) has developed a system of nomenclature
which allow each organic compound to be assign a
unique name.
– Prefixes are used to name hydrocarbon molecules
according to the number of carbons present in the
longest continuous chain of carbon bonds.
Structural Representation of Organic
Compounds
• How are the structures of organic compounds represented?
– The structure of organic compounds can be represented
by:
• Molecular Formula C3H8
– Indicate the number and types of atoms present in
a molecule but contain no information about their
arrangement.
• Structural Formula
– Complete
– Condensed CH3CH2CH3
– Line Bond Formula
Stoker 2014, pp.358
Isomers
• What are structural isomers?
– Molecules that have the same molecular formula, but different bonding
arrangements/ structural formulas.
– e.g. ethanol vs dimethyl ether
propanal vs propanone
– Isomers do not necessarily share similar properties.
– There are two main forms:
• Structural isomerism
• Stereoisomerism (spatial isomerism)
Conformational and Stereo Isomers
•
The C-C single bonds enable free rotation of
the alkane chain
–
•
Different conformational structures result from C-C
single bond rotation but no bonds are broken
The groups attached to a C-C single bond
can:
–
Rotate around the bond, giving different relative
arrangements called conformational isomers
–
In the stereoisomers the two methyl group are
positioned differently:
•
•
cis isomer = the methyl groups are on the same side of
the c-c bond
trans isomer = methyl groups on opposite sides
of the c-c bond
Stereoisomers
cis
trans
Structural (Constitutional) Isomers
•
Structural isomers are compounds that have the
same molecular formula but different structural formulas
–
Different arrangement of atoms in space
•
Different structural isomers result from different connectivity of atoms, which
requires breaking & re-formation of bonds in the same molecule
•
Continuous-chain alkane
–
–
•
C atoms are connected in a continuous non-branching chain.
E.g. Butane: CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – CH3
Branched-chain alkane
–
–
1 or more branches
are attached to a continuous chain.
E.g. 2-methylpropane
2-methylpropane
