All rights reserved 10-2 10 Organic Chemistry • Organic chemistry: the study of the compounds of carbon • organic compounds are made up of carbon and only a few other elements • chief among these are hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen • also present are sulfur, phosphorus, and a halogen (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine) © 2003 Thomson Learning, Inc. All rights reserved 10-3 10 Organic Chemistry • Why is organic chemistry a separate discipline within chemistry? • historical: scientists at one time believed that a “vital force” present in living organisms was necessary to produce an organic compound • the experiment of Wöhler in 1828 was the first in a series of experiments that led to the demise of the vital force theory NH4 Cl + AgNCO A mmonium Silver ch loride cyan ate © 2003 Thomson Learning, Inc.

All rights reserved 10-8 10 Functional Groups • Functional group: a part of an organic molecule that undergoes chemical reaction • Functional groups are important because • they undergo the same types of chemical reactions no matter in which molecule they are found • to a large measure they determine the chemical and physical properties of a molecule • they are the units by which we divide organic compounds into families • they provide the basis on which we derive names for organic compounds © 2003 Thomson Learning, Inc.
