Organic compounds

1
Organic compounds

• Covalently bonded compounds containing carbon
• Except
• Carbonates and oxides

2
Catenation

• Covalent bonding of an element to itself to form
  chains or rings
• Carbon can also double or triple bond to itself

3
hydrocarbons

• Contain only carbon and hydrogen
• Simplest organic compounds

4
Structural formula

• Regular or condensed
• Carbon makes four bonds, hydrogen makes one
• Hydrogen is understood to bond to the atom next
  to it

5
Draw the condensed structural formulas
6
Geometric isomers

• Order of atom bonding is the same, but
  arrangement of atoms is space is different
• Need rigid structure in molecule
• Double or triple bond
• Need two carbons each with two different groups
  attached
• Cis and trans isomers

7
Cis isomer

• Like groups on same side of carbon atoms

8
Trans iosmer

• Like groups on opposite sides of carbon atoms
