GENCHEM 2: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Physical, Analytical, Inorganic, Organic, Biochemistry

A chemical compound that lacks carbon–hydrogen bonds

• Has at least one carbon to hydrogen bond

• Study of carbon and its compounds

• Study of organic compounds

• Organic compounds can only be synthesized by organic matter

• Debunked by Friedrich Wohler

• Created Urea

• first to synthesize an organic compound from an inorganic substance

Tetravalency and Catenation

Property of carbon that states that carbon should always have 4 bonds

Property of carbon that states that an element can bond with the same element

• most stable element

• can form a chain/cyclic structure

• has 2 properties: tetravalent and catenation

• Compound with same molecular formula but different structure

• not ideal for organic chemistry

Skeletal structure, Condensed structure, Line-bond structure

Group of atoms that give chemical properties to an organic compound

• hydrogen and carbon only

• can be saturated (ALKANE) or unsaturated (ALKENE & ALKYNE)
