Obj. 1 Bonding in Hydrocarbons
• Organic compounds that contain only Carbon & Hydrogen are called Hydrocarbons.
• Carbon-hydrogen bonding
Carbon has 4 valence e- and will “always form 4 covalent
bonds”
EXAMPLE: Methane H

H – C – H

Carbon – Carbon bonding
Forms a covalent bond between carbons and covalent
bonds with the Hydrogens also.
EXAMPLE: Ethane - C2H6

Obj. 2 Straight chained and branched alkanes
Alkanes- contain only single covalent bonds
• Straight chain alkanes contain any number of carbon atoms, one after another in a chain.
• Straight chain alkanes end in -ane

• Branched chain alkanes
• Halogens, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus atoms may take the place of a hydrogen in an alkane.
• These atoms, or group of atoms, that take the place of hydrogen atoms on a parent (or base) hydrocarbon molecule are called substituents.
• The substituent is called an alkyl group.
• When an alkyl group is added to a straight chain hydrocarbon, branches form.
• An alkane with one or more alkyl groups is a
branched-chain alkane

Rules for naming molecular formulas
1.Find the longest chain of carbons in the molecule. This chain is the parent chain.[(ends in – ane)The example is heptane]
2. Number the carbons in the main chain in sequence. Start at the end that will give the groups attached to the chain the lowest numbers.
3.Add numbers to the names of the substituent groups to identify their positions on the chain. These numbers become prefixes to the name of the parent chain.
4.Use prefixes to indicate the appearance of a group more than once in the structure. (example- 2-methyl,
3-methyl, 4-ethyl)
5.List the names of alkyl substituents in alphabetical order. For purposes of alphabetizing, ignore the prefixes di-, tri-, etc.(example - Two methyls = dimethyl)
6. Use proper punctuation. Commas are used to separate numbers. Hyphens are used to separate numbers and words. (The entire name is written without any spaces.)
Example above:
4-ethyl-2,3-dimethylheptane
Obj. 5 Name and Write Hydrocarbons (Worksheet)
Obj. 6 Common cyclic rings and aromatics
Cyclic rings- when the two ends of a carbon chain are attached to form a ring
Cyclobutane
Aromatic compounds – a special group of unsaturated cyclic rings (can contain a single ring or a group of rings)
EXAMPLE: Benzene:
Obj. 7 Uses of organic compounds
Fossil Fuels – organic because they are derived from the decay of organisms in geologic history
Example:
Petroleum, natural gas, coal,
Used as lubricants , burning processes for energy (to make electricity and cooking food)
Plastics – created by the process of addition polymerization and condensation polymerization of hydrocarbons (see Obj. 8)
Examples:
used for innumerable objects- laminates, bags, pipes, handles, cars…
Medicines – created by halogen and cyclic ring substitution reactions
Examples:
produce drugs, pain killers and other functional groups(see Obj 10).
Obj. 8 &9 Monomers and Polymers
Polymers- A large molecule formed by the covalent bonding of repeating smaller molecules.
Monomers- Smaller molecules that combine to form a polymer.
Addition Polymers- form when unsaturated monomers react and form a polymer.
Polyethelene - plastic milk bottles, plastic wraps,
refrigerator dishes
Polypropylene – utensils and containers
Polystyrene – styrofoam cups and insulation of
coolers.
Polyvinyl chloride – (PVC) pipes in plumbing
Tetra flourethene – (PTFE) teflon coating
Polyisoprene –natural rubber - boots, tires, tubing
Condensation Polymers - formed by the head to tail joining of monomer units
This is usually accompanied by the loss of water from the reacting monomers and the formation of water as a product: thus condensation
Examples:
Polyesters – tire cords, permanent press clothing,
magnetic tape in tape recorders.
Polyamides –
Nylon-carpeting, tire cords, fishing line, sheer hosiery, gears and zippers.
Kevlar- bullet proof vests.
Obj. 10 Functional groups
Functional Group – specific arrangement of atoms in an organic compound that is capable of characteristic chemical reactions.
Symbol “R” in each functional group represents any carbon chains or rings attached to the functional group.
Alcohol –organic compound with an -OH group
Esthers – oxygen bonded to two carbon groups.
R-O-R
Aldehydes – carbonyl group (carbon and oxygen
double bonded) and at least one hydrogen
R-C-H-0
Ketones- organic compounds with the carbon of the carbonyl joined to two other carbons RCOR
Carboxylic acid- contain a carboxyl group (carbonyl group and hydroxyl group) R-COOH
Esters – contain a carbonyl group and an ether link to the carbonyl carbon. R-COOR
Amines- organic compound in which a nitrogen is bound to alkyle groups and hydrogen atoms [derived from ammonia (NH3)] R-NH2
