I. Objectives

The objectives of this Simulation is to:

● Give usage examples for organic compounds.

● Identify the orbital hybridization of the carbon valence electrons.
● Calculate the angles of covalent bonds containing carbon atoms in hydrocarbons.
● Use the abbreviated nomenclature for hydrocarbons.
● The most significant hydrocarbon representations should be understood.
● Give some examples of the functional groups and reactions in organic molecules.

II. Introduction

Organic chemistry focuses on the study of carbon, an element that can make covalent
bonds with other carbon atoms as well as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and halogens, leading to
the identification of more than a million different carbon-based compounds. Because organic
compounds make up the vast bulk of the biological molecules in living systems, organic
chemistry is crucial. In addition, nearly all typical polymers are made from organic components.

III. Materials and Procedure

● To access the Simulation, the materials needed are the following:

- LabPad - Holo-Table 2 - Fume Hoods (1 & 2)
- Lab Coat/Lab Gown - Holo-Table 1 - Empty Tubes
- Safety Goggles - White Balls (as hydrogen atoms) - Pipette and Pipette tip track
- Gloves - Micro Vortex - Beaker
- Television Screen - Trash Bin - Bromine & other Solutions

● The procedure for this simulation are the following:

1. Learn how to access the LabPad then listen to the Simulator.
2. Wear a Lab Coat, Safety Goggles, and Gloves (to protect your body from the toxic
chemicals inside the laboratory).
3. If you are already in an appropriate and complete attire, you can now enter inside the
laboratory.
4. Inside the laboratory, go in front of the television screen to answer some of the given
questions. After answering all the questions, go to the holo-table and build the proposed
molecules by adding the hydrogen atoms at the correct angle.
5. By then, after building the proposed molecules, go to the fume hood 1 and perform the
needed experiment.
 6. Afterwards, go to fume hood 2 and then do the other proposed experiment. To do the
experiment:
First, take the pipette from its holder on the wall. Make sure to change pipette tips by
clicking the pipette tips rack.
Second, click on the beaker to take up the solutions with the pipette. After that, on the
empty tube transfer the chemicals from the pipette to the other tube. It is a must to discard
the tip after transferring solutions to avoid contamination.
Third, add the ceramic ammonium to all the tubes then put the tubes into the micro
vortex and observe the results. Add the sodium bicarbonate to the remaining tubes and
observe if something will happen to the certain chemicals.
7. Discard the used gloves after the experiment.

IV. Data and Results

Functional groups are an important topic in Organic Chemistry. We applied our newly
gained knowledge to assist our friend, Simon, by deciding if a drug he got could be trusted. Dr.
One guided us through simple chemical experiments to confirm the functional groups in this
medication and to learn about some of the ways organic compounds might react. The lab places a
premium on engagement. Working with different sorts of carbon bonds and their angles allows
us to create our own 3D carbon molecules on our holo table. We may make errors with the
hazardous solutions in the fume hood without fear of repercussions, and we can become
acquainted with the equipment we employ. On-the-spot quizzes guarantee that we retain key
information. We will have to use the exam results and your knowledge to solve the organic
chemistry puzzle at the end of the Organic Chemistry Introduction simulation. For the most part,
we are able to find the appropriate functional groups in Simon's medication and ensure he's
comfortable taking it.

V. Discussion

Simulation; Organic Chemistry Introduction: Learning about organic compounds is an

online realistic laboratory where students can learn about organic compounds this includes
carbon valence electrons, hybridization of orbitals, angles of covalent bonds of carbon atom in
hydrocarbon, nomenclature of hydrocarbons, reaction and functional group of organic
compounds.

• Determining the medicine

In this mission, students are to learn to determine the medicine given to Simon which is salicylic
acid to confirm the medicine went to a series of tests, first is the ceric ammonium nitrate test, the
second test is to find signs of carboxylic acid group. The medicine is confirmed as aspirin which
is an acetylsalicylic acid.

• Holo-table

In this mission, students are to learn about the arrangement of valence electrons and
hybridization which is a process that makes hybrid orbitals that also include the forming of
sigma bonds. Angle bond is also discussed as in the simulation carbon binds to four distinct
atoms and its angle is 109.5°. A carbon with only a single bond form these at different angles
than the carbon with double and triple bonds.

• IUPAC

In this mission, students are to learn about nomenclature that includes Alkanes, Alkenes and
Alkynes.

Alkanes - Saturated hydrocarbons

Alkenes - Unsaturated hydrocarbons

Alkynes - Unsaturated hydrocarbons

Saturated hydrocarbons have only single bonds while unsaturated hydrocarbons have double or
triple carbons bonds.

Hydrocarbon are named by two factors:

First the "number of carbons". We use a prefix according to the number of carbons in the
molecule; these are meth, eth, prop, but, pent, hex, hept, oct, non, dec. The second factor is the
"type of carbon bond present in the molecule"; in Alkanes we use -ane, in Alkenes we use -
ene, in Alkynes we use -yne.

• Chemical test

In this mission, students are to do the bromine test to identify the unknown solvent, students are
to identify the content that has pentane and hex-1-ene.

• Isomers and functional group

In this mission students are to learn about isomers and functional groups, isomers are compounds
with the same formula but with a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule. Function
groups provide the reactivity to the organic compounds and their position also determine how the
compound is named, there are different functional groups some contain atoms other than
hydrogen and oxygen such as nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur. A skeletal formula is also
discussed in which the carbon atoms are implied at the corner of the structure.
The simulation is very informative as it provides information and guidance when handling
different missions, students learn about the importance and purpose of structures, arrangement,
naming compounds, and functional groups.

VI. Conclusion

In conclusion, bond angles are important in many organic chemistry reactions because
they determine the structure of the products. The carbon bonds are angled in an observable
manner. Functional groups are extremely important in organic chemistry processes. As a result,
they play an important role in the molecules of life, and the compound A solution turned a dark
red color and induced effervescence. Among the medications brought into the lab was aspirin. In
our bodies, aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is converted to salicylic acid. This is a
very common and effective treatment for minor aches and inflammation. Our objective was
successful because we treated Simon's toothache.
