PROPERTIES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS AND INORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Name:________________________________ Section: _________________

Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC)

Compare the properties of organic compounds and inorganic compounds

Learning Objectives:
The learners shall be able to:

1. Define organic and inorganic compounds

2. Differentiate organic from inorganic compounds
3. compare the properties of organic and inorganic compounds

Key Differences

● Organic compound is a class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of

carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen,
oxygen or nitrogen. On the other hand an inorganic compound is any compound that
lacks a carbon atom.
● Density of compound is usually based on the size of molecule against the size of atoms
in the molecule. Due to presence of more hydrogen atoms in organic compound,
organic compounds tend to be typically less dense than inorganic compounds. This is
because hydrogen is the lowest density atom among all atoms.
● Inorganic compounds are highly soluble in water. This is because they have ionic bonds
between molecules. Ionic bonds easily dissociate into positive and negative ions in
water. On the other hand, most organic compounds have covalent bonds between
molecules and hence are insoluble in water, though they are soluble in other organic
solvents.
● Organic compounds are formed as a result of actions of living organisms while inorganic
compounds are formed due to natural processes unrelated to any life form or as a result
of human experimentation in the laboratory.
● In most of the aqueous solutions, organic compounds are typically poor conductors of
electricity and heat. Inorganic compounds in aqueous solutions are good conductors of Pag

electricity, this is because they have high ability to ionize and this makes them better
conductors.
● Inorganic compounds include salt, metals, silver, sulfur, pure diamond, substances made
from single elements and substances that do not contain carbon bonded to hydrogen.
On the other hand, examples of organic compounds include nucleic acids, sucrose,
enzymes, benzene, methane, fats and ethanol.
● Inorganic compounds have a faster overall rate of reaction than organic compounds.
Stable organic compounds are generally un-reactive due to presence of covalent bonds
that are difficult to break. On other hand, inorganic compounds have ionic bonds that
easily break; this makes them highly reactive, and will always react with whatever is
available

Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC)

Trace the historical development of organic chemistry

Historical timeline of the development of organic chemistry

● Georg Ernest Stahi (1660-1734) – the phlogiston theory ( set on fire) . Carbon was rich in
phlogiston because when it was heated with an oxide, the metal along with “fixed air
CO2 “ was formed
● Joseph Priestly (1733-1804) – the discoverer. Recognized the role of oxygen in the life
cycle.
● Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794)- Quantitative methods. Conservation of mass
● John Dalton (1766-1844) – atomic theory. He proposes the rule of Greatest Simplicity.
Which held that water was a binary compound of the formula of OH
● Jons Jacob Berzelius (1779-1848) electrochemical theory (dualism) He provided the
modern symbols of the elements and defined isomerism (equal parts). Isomers have the
same composition but not the same physical properties. Dualism held that organic
compounds, like inorganic ones, and electropositive and electronegative components.
● Friedrich Wohler (1800-1882)- Vitalism held that organic compounds( derived from
living or deceased organisms) were different from ammonium cyanate (inorganic)
countered this argument.
● Justus Liebig (1803-1873) –Radical Theory held that in organic chemistry radicals are
complex; in inorganic chemistry they are simple. He revolutionized chemical analysis so
that it could be conducted on small samples.
● J. B. Dumas (1800-1884) substitution theory. He chlorinates acetic acid
● August Wilhelm von Hofmann (1818-1892)- studies amines. A series of amines have
similar properties. Pag

IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Compounds

Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC)

Describe the IUPAC nomenclature classification of organic compounds (functional groups,

aliphatic and aromatic compounds)

Learning Objectives
After completing this section, you should be able to
1. provide the correct IUPAC name for a given alkane structure.
2. draw the condensed structure of an alkane, given its IUPAC name.

Hydrocarbons
The simplest class of organic compounds is the hydrocarbons, which consist entirely of carbon
and hydrogen. The four major classes of hydrocarbons are the following:
1. alkanes which contain only carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon single bonds.
2. Alkenes which contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) in their molecules.
3. Alkynes which contain at least one carbon-carbon triple bond (C≡C ) in their molecules. Pag

4. Hydrocarbons which usually contain rings of six carbon atoms that can be drawn with
alternating single and double bonds. Alkanes are also saturated hydrocarbons, whereas
hydrocarbons that contain multiple bonds (alkenes, alkynes and aromatics) are
unsaturated.

The following table lists the IUPAC names assigned to simple continuous-chain alkanes
from C-1 to C-10. Common “ane” suffixes identifies these compounds as alkanes and are
prefixed depending on the number of carbon atoms in the chain, following standard
rules.

In a cyclic hydrocarbon, the ends of a hydrocarbon chain are connected to form a ring of
covalently bonded carbon atoms. Cyclic hydrocarbons are named by attaching the prefix
cyclo- to the name of alkane, the alkene, or the alkyne.

Table 2. Cycloalkanes

Alkyl groups
Acyclic alkanes can be described by the general formula C nH2n+2 (“n” is the number of
carbon). An alkyl group is formed by removing one hydrogen from the alkane chain and
is describe by the formula CnH2n+1. The removal of this hydrogen results in a stem change
from –ane to yl. Take a look at the following examples.

Nomenclature of alcohols
● Alcohols with one to four carbon atoms are frequently called by common names,in
which the name of the alkyl group is followed by the word alcohol ( methyl alcohol,
ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol)
● IUPAC rules for naming alcohols
Alcohol are named by changing the ending of the parent alkane to –ol
1. The longest continuous chain (LCC) of carbon atoms containing the OH group
is take as the parent compound- an alkane with the same number of carbon
atoms. The chain is numbered from the end nearest the OH group.
2. The number that indicates the position of the OH group is prefixed to the
name of the parent hydrocarbon,and the –e ending of the parent alkane is
replaced by the suffix –ol (in cyclic alcohols, the carbon atom bearing the OH
group is designated C1, but the 1 is not used in the name.) substituents are
named and numbered as in alkanes
3. If more than one OH group appears in the same molecule ( polydroxyl
alcohols), suffixes such as –diol and –triol ae used. In these cases, the –e
ending of the parent alkane is retained

Three Classification of alcohol

1. Primary (1) – the carbon atom wih the OH group attached to one carbon atom. Its
general formula is RCH2OH
2. Secondary (2) -the carbon atom wih the OH group attached to two carbon atom. Its
general formula is R2CHOH

ALDEHYDES AND KETONES

Aldehydes and ketone are organic compounds which incorporate a carbonyl functional group
C=O. the carbon atom of this group has two remaining bonds that may be occupied by
hydrogen, alkyl or aryl substituents. If at least one of these substituents is hydrogen, the
compound is an aldehyde. Aldehyde is a compound containing a functional group with the
structure –CHO. If neither is hydrogen, the compound is a ketone. The functional group of
ketone is R2C=O or RCOR. With the general formula of CnH2nO

Naming aldehydes
1. Aldehydes take their name from their parent alkane chains. The –e is removed from the
end and is replaced with –al.
2. The aldehyde functional group is given the # 1 numbering location and this number is
not included in the name.
3. For common name of aldehydes start with the common parent chain name and add the
suffix –aldehyde. Substituent positions are shown with Greek letters.
4. When the –CHO functional group is attached to a ring the suffix – carbaldehyde is
added, and the carbon attached to that group is C1.

Naming of ketones
1. Ketones take their name from their parent alkane chains. The ending –e is removed and
replaced with –one.
2. The common names for ketones are simply the substituents groups listed
alphabetically + ketone.
3. Some common ketones are known by generic names. Such as the fact that propanone is

Naming Aldehydes and Ketones in the Same Molecule

⮚ Molecules which contain both functional groups are named as “oxo” substituent. It is
not necessary to give the aldehyde functional group a location number, however, I is
usually necessary to give a location number to the ketone

Naming Dialdehydes and Diketones

⮚ For dialdehydes the location numbers both carbonyls are omitted because the aldehyde
functional groups are expected to occupy the ends of the parent chain. The ending –dial
is added to the end of the parent chain name.
⮚ For diketones both carbonyls require a location number. The ending –dione or -dial is
added to the end of the parent chain.

Naming Cyclic Ketones and Diketones

⮚ In cyclic ketones the carbonyl group is assigned location position #1, and this number is
not included in the name, unless more than one carbonyl group is present. Remember
the prefix cyclo is included before the parent chain name to indicate that it is in a ring.
As with other ketones the –e ending is replaced with the –one to indicate the presence
of a ketone. With cycloalkanes which contain two ketones both carbonyls need to be
given a location numbers. Also an –e is not removed from the end, but the suffix –dione
is added.

Naming Carbonyls and Hydroxyls in the Same Molecule

Carboxylic Acid
Carboxylic acids are named based on the number of carbons in the longest chain, including the
carbonyl group (-COOH). The –e ending is removed from the name of the parent chain and is
replaced –oic acid. Since a carboxylic acid group must always lie at the end of a carbon chain, it
is always given the # 1 location position in numbering and it is not necessary to include it in the
name.

Many carboxylic acids are called by the common names. These names were chosen by chemists
to usually describe a source of where the compound is found.

Naming Carbonyl Group Added to a Ring

⮚ When a carboxyl group is added to a ring the suffix –carboxylic acid is added to the
name of the cyclic compound. The ring carbon attached to the carboxyl group is given
the # 1 location number.

Naming carboxylic acids which contain other functional groups

⮚ Carboxyl group is given the lowest possible location number and the appropriate
nomenclature suffix is included. In the case of molecules containing carboxylic acid and
alcohol functional group the OH is named as a hydroxyl substituent. However, the l in

⮚ When carboxylic acids are included with an alkene the following order is allowed:
a. Location number of alkene, prefix name for the longest carbon chain and –oic acid
ending to indicate the presence of an alkene and carboxylic acid
