A. Readings/Discussions

Organic compounds are molecules that are composed mostly of carbon and

hydrogen atoms. A molecule containing just carbon and hydrogen atoms is called
a hydrocarbon. Organic molecules can also contain other atoms such as oxygen,
nitrogen, sulfur, and halogens.

Organic compounds are classified into many different forms including

HYDROCARBONS (Alkanes, Alkenes, Alkynes, Arenes), HALOGEN-CONTAINING
COMPOUNDS (Alkyl halides, Aryl halides), OXYGEN- CONTAINING COMPOUNDS
(Alcohols, Phenols, Ethers, Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic acids), CARBOXYLIC
ACID DERIVATIVES (Esters, Amides), NITROGEN-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS
(Amines, Nitrites, Nitro compounds)

Most of the foodstuffs that we consume every day such as sugar, fats, starch, vinegar,
etc are basically organic compounds. Products that contain organic compounds
include shampoo, gasoline, perfume, lotion drugs, food and food additives, plastics,
paper, insect repellant, synthetic fabrics (nylon, polyester, rayon), paint, mothballs
(naphthalene), enzymes, nail polish remover, wood, coal, natural gas, solvents,
fertilizers, vitamins, dyes, soap, candles, asphalt, and etc.

Here are are some examples of organic compounds with their corresponding uses:

Organic Compound Uses of Organic Compound

Methane Black in colour, in making motor tyre and printing ink, in

the production of light and energy, in making methyl alcohol,
formaldehyde and chloroform etc.

Butane In liquid state it is used as LPG fuel.

Ethylene In fruit ripening and fruits preservator , in making

 mustard gas, in the form of anaesthesia, in oxy-ethylene flame.

Acetylene In producing light, oxy-ethylene flame, in the form of

narselin anaesthesia, in making neoprene (artificial rubber), in
artificial ripening etc.

Polythene It used for the producing  electrical resistance in wires

and cables, in making  layer in the cap of the bottle in the
production of non-crackable bottles, pipes, buckets etc.

Ethyl bromine It is for making local anaesthesia

Chloroform In surgical operation as anaesthesia, in form of solvent of

rubber, fat, lac etc, as insecticide etc.

Methyl alcohol In making methyleted spirit, artificial colour, barnish and

polish, mixing with petrol and utilised as fuel of engines etc.

Ethyl alcohol It is used for making wine and another alcoholic drinking
stuff, tincture, barnish and polish, in the form of solvents, in 
methyleted spirit, in artificial colours in perfumes and scent of
fruits, in transparent soaps, in spirit lamps and stoves, in the
form of fuel of motor vehicle in cleaning the wound, in the form
of insecticide etc.

Formaldehyde In making insecticides, in fixation of gelatine film on the

photographic plates, in making waterproof cloths by mixing it
with eggs exterior whitely part etc.

Acetaldehyde In making colour medicines, in manufacturing meta

acetaldehyde medicine used in sleeping, in the production of
plastics.

Acetone In making barnish, cordite, clodian cellulose, artificial

silk, synthetic rubber, sulphone, chlorotone, chloroform,
iodoform etc. as medicines etc.

Formic acid In making insecticide, as  preservator of fruits juices, in 

trade of leather, rubber etc.

Acetic acid As laboratory’s reagent, in the form of vinegar, in

making sauces and jelly etc.

Urea In the form of fertilizer, in making  formaldehyde and

urea plastic, medicines etc.

Benzene In the form of solvent, in dry cleaning, by mixing it with

petrol and used as fuel of engines etc.

Toluene In the dry cleaning, in the form of solvent, in the

production of medicines, in making of explosives etc.

Aside from those found in organisms, organic compounds are found in plastics,
medicines, and various substances. However, some carbon-containing compounds,
such as carbon dioxide and carbonates, are not considered organic.

GUIDE

For the Teacher

Advise the students to read the Reading and Discussion portion before they attempt
to answer the practice exercises. Let the learners go through the parts sequentially to
help them understand the topic easily. The Key Answers are for you to refer during the
checking. Don’t include it in the printing.

For the Learner:

Read thoroughly and understand the Self-Learning Home Task from the first part to
the last part. By doing so, will help you understand better the topic. If you still have
enough time, do it twice for more understanding. You can use a dictionary if you find it
hard to comprehend the science terms. Use a separate sheet for your answers.

For the Parent/Home Tutor:

Assist your child and make sure that he/she reads the Self-Learning Home Task
from the beginning up to end, to ensure proper understanding of the concepts. Don’t
feed the answer to your child. Let her/him do it of his own.
