Chapter 19: Organic Chemistry
Big Ideas

The physical properties of organic compounds can be predicted from the
molecular structure.

Organic compounds can be organized by functional groups (collections of atoms
within a molecule that behave as a unit in a recognizable and predictable manner).
After studying this chapter you should be able to:
1. Identify alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, ethers, amines, carboxylic acids and
simple aromatic compounds.
2. Name alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and alcohols.
3. Understand and predict some physical properties of simple organic compounds
(water, solubility, bp, mp, vapor pressure) from a consideration of their structure,
polarity and intermolecular forces.
4. Interpret different structural representations of organic molecules, including full
structural formula, condensed structural formula, carbon skeleton formula, balland-stick model and space filling model.
5. Recognize and distinguish between isomers of a compound including structural
isomers and cis/trans isomers.
