Study Set Content:
· Study of Carbon-containing compounds
· The study of the structure, properties composition, reactions, and preparations of carbon-containing compounds.
· The study of hydrocarbons (compounds of carbon and hydrogen) and their derivatives
Most organic compounds contain Carbon and Hydrogen, but they may also include any numbers of other elements (e.g., Nitrogen, Oxygen, Halogens, Phosphorous, Silicon, Sulfur
Organic Chemistry
● A group 4A element.
● Can share 4 valence electrons and form 4 covalent bonds.
● Able to bond with one another to form long chains and rings.
● Only element that has the ability to form immense diversity of compounds.
Carbon
· is any member if a large class of gaseous liquid, or solid chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon.
· Ex: Proteins, Hormone-like Estrogen, Cellular
components like T-Cell receptors, various alcohols and
sugar alcohols, methane, ethane, acetylene, alcohols,
carbon tetrachloride (CCL4), Urea [CO(NH2)2]
Organic Compounds
is a compound that is not considered “Organic”. They are traditionally viewed as being synthesized by the agency of geological systems.
Inorganic Compound
are found in biological systems.
Organic Compounds
Organic chemists traditionally refer to any “Any molecule containing carbon as an organic compound” and by default this means that(blank) deals with molecules lacking carbon.
inorganic chemistry
Bonding is almost entirely covalent
Organic Compound
May be gases, liquids, or solids with low melting points (less than 360C
Organic Compound
Most have ionic bonds
Inorganic Compounds
Most are solids with high melting points
Inorganic Compounds
Most are insoluble in water
Organic Compounds
Most are soluble in organic solvents such as diethyl ether, toluene, and dichloromethane
