What makes a compound
organic?
Origin of organic compoundsOrigin of organic compounds• Naturally occurring organic compounds are
found in plants, animals, and fossil fuels• All of these have a plant origin• All of these rely on the “fixing” of C from CO2
• Synthetic organic compounds are derived from fossil fuels or plant material
IntroductionIntroduction• Most current research focuses on Organic • Originally from “organic” meaning life• Not just chemistry of life, chemistry of carbon• Exceptions:
– oxides of carbon (CO2, CO)
– carbonates,bicarbonates(NaHCO3,CaCO3)– cyanides (NaCN, etc)
C C CCC
One C with no H, or with metal
• Carbon can form four bonds…
Properties of Organic CompoundsProperties of Organic Compounds
1. Covalently bonded2. Low Melting Points3. Non-electrolytes4. Nonpolar5. React slower than inorganic compounds6. Require high activation energies7. Insoluble in water ~ generally
Carbon forms four bondsCarbon forms four bonds• Carbon can form four bonds, and forms
strong covalent bonds with other elements• This can be represented in many ways …

Functional groupsFunctional groups• Functional groups are parts of molecules that
result in characteristic features• About 100 functional groups exist, we will
focus on about 10• Useful to group the infinite number of possible
organic compounds• Ex - the simplest group is hydrocarbons
• Made up of only C and H• Not really a functional “group”• Further divided into:
»Aliphatics - Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes»Aromatics

Hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxylHydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl
• There are other names that describe patterns of atoms that are parts of functional groups.
• “Hydroxyl” refers to –OH
• “Carbonyl” refers to C=O
• “Carboxyl” refers to COOH
Naming: common vs. IUPAC• Common names used in the 1800’s are still
used for some compounds today:
H C C HAcetylene

• The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) was established in 1900s
Numbering carbonsQ- draw penteneA- Where’s the bond?
We number C atoms
• Thus, naming compounds with multiple bonds is more complex than previously indicated
• Only if 2+ possibilities exist, are #s needed• Always give double bond the lowest number• Try to name these:

• Names are made up of: side chains, root
• Root is the longest possible HC chain• Must contain multiple bonds if present• Add -yl to get name of side chain• Common side chains include:

Some additional infoSolubility
Hydrocarbons are non-polar
Alcohols and organic acids are
polar= Soluble in water
Some additional infoMP & BP
The presence of H bonds increases strength of IMF’s

Some additional infoSaturated vs. unsaturated
SATURATED Alkanes only
Alkenes or Alkynes

Petroleum = mixture of all different hydrocarbonsHeat mixture slowly.
The different hydrocarbons are boiled to a gas and allowed to rise
As they rise, they cool off until they become liquids
Heavier hydrocarbons will not rise as high before they become liquidsLightest hydrocarbons will rise the highest
