A. Carbon Compounds

organic compounds are those in which carbon atoms are almost always bonded to each other, to hydrogen atoms and a few other atoms

there are millions of organic compounds and all contain

Organic Chemistry

inorganic exceptions are theoxides of carbon,

and carbidescyanidescarbonates,

eg) CO2, CaCO3, NaCN, SiC

(O, N, S, P)

(no C-C bonds or C-H bonds)

covalent bonds

carbon is unique for two reasons:

it can bond with atoms to form long chains, rings, spheres, tubes, sheets etc.

a)

b) it can form combinations of single, double and triple bonds

(no other element does this!!!!)

other carbon

Practice question

recall polarity and intermolecular forces from the chemical bonding unit

polar bonds are formed when there is an uneven pull on e

polar compounds are formed when the polar bonds within a molecule do not cancel each other out

the presence of dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonding will allow polar compounds to dissolve in water, since it is also polar non-polar compounds only have LD forces between molecules and will not dissolve in water

B. Structural Isomers

isomers are compounds with the same molecular formulabut adifferent structure

different structures result in differentproperties

the arrangement of the atoms determines the types of intermolecular attractions which then determines properties such as and in water

boiling point solubility

Example

Draw two isomers of C3H8O. Which one would have a boiling point of 7.4C and which would have a boiling point of 82.5C? Explain why the boiling points are so different.

O. Petroleum Refining

most of this petroleum is refined and then burned as

petrochemicals are also used in the production of

fuel

plastics

refining of petroleum separates the crude mixture into purified components

is used to separate the components fractional distillation

distillation works because of the different of the components of crude oil boiling points
