Chemistry of Carbon Organic Chemistry studies the compounds of the element carbon In many of these compounds carbon is found bonded to Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorous, sulfur, and halogens Contrasting organic and inorganic compounds Type of Compound Organic Type of bonds Covalent Melting point Low Boiling point Low Combustibility Burns easily Number of molecules Millions Water solubility Mostly nonpolar so insoluble Conductivity Nonelectrolytes Elements found in organic compounds Element Lewis dot structure Carbon C Hydrogen H Oxygen O Sulfur S Nitrogen Halogens F, Cl, Br, I Alkanes N Cl # of bonds Inorganic Ionic High High Does not burn easily Thousands Most are polar or ionic so soluble Electrolytes Bond arrangements Hydrocarbons: The simplest carbon compounds Alkanes General Example formula Full Structural formula H H H CnH2n+2 saturated Alkenes H C C C H H H H CnH2n Condensed structural formula H Name CH3CH2CH3 propane CH2CHCH3 propene CHCCH3 propyne H unsaturated C C C H H H H H Alkynes CnH2n-2 unsaturated H C C C H H The main source of hydrocarbons is oil. Hydrocarbons can also have a ring stucture: H C HC CH HC CH C H This is benzene. It has what is called an aromatic structure Types of Carbon Primary 1o Bonded to only 1 other carbon Secondary Tertiary 2 o Bonded to 2 other carbons 3 o Bonded to 3 other carbons Quarternary 4 o Bonded to 4 other carbons H H CH3 H H H H C C C C C C H CH3 H H CH3 H H Alkanes Name Molecular Full Structural formula Uses Formula H Methane Ethane Propane Butane Pentane Hexane Heptane Octane Nonane Decane CH4 C2H6 C3H8 C4H10 C5H12 C6H14 C7H16 C8H18 C9H20 C10H22 H H H H H H H H H H C H H H H C C H H H H H H C C C H H H H H H H H C C C C H H H H H H H H H H C C C C C H H H H H H H H H H H H C C C C C C H H H H H H H H H H H H H H C C C C C C C H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H C C C C C C C C H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H C C C C C C H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H H C C C C C C C C C C H H H H H H H H H H C C C H H Name methyl Side Chains and side groups Full Structure C H H 2- methylpropane H H H Ethyl H C C H H Isopropyl H H H CH3H C C C H H H H 4-methyloctane H H Propyl Example H H H H C C C H H H H H C C C H H H H C H H C H H H H H H H C C C C C C C H C H H H H H H H H H 4-isopropylheptane CH3 H H H H H H C C C H H H C CH3 H H H C C C C H H H H H H H C C H H Fluoro F Fluoroethane H F H Chloro Cl Cl Chloromethane H I H 1-iodobutane H Br H C C C H H H H H H H C C C C H H H H 2-bromopropane Iodo H H Bromo Br C H I Class of compound name Functional group Alkane C C Alkene C Functional Groups Functional group name/ description Single bonded carbons Example Name Ethane H Double bonded carbons C H H C C H H H Ethene H H C C H Alkyne C C C Aromatic C C C Triple bonded carbon atoms Aromatic ring of six carbons H Ethyne H C C H Benzene H H C H C C C C C H C C H H Alcohol O H hydroxyl Methanol H 3C Ether Oxygen bonded to 2 carbons O O Aldehyde OH Methoxymethane O H 3C C carbonyl O CH3 Methanal O C H H3 C O Ketone Carbonyl between 2 carbons C C 2-propanone O H 3C O Carboxylic acid carboxyl H C CH3 Ethanoic acid O C OH H3C Ester O C Thiol Carboxyl group with H replaced by C O S O C O CH3 Methanethiol H3C Amine OH Methylmethanoate H 3C H C S H Amino methane H N H3C N H Amide O C N
