What is a hydrocarbon?
What is an organic compound?
• Organic Compounds are a special category of
covalent compounds. This is because C can
make 4 bonds, which means that the basic shape
for most organic compounds is a tetrahedron.
• This also means that carbon can bond in many
different ways with the same elements .
H H H H
(ex) H – C – C – O – H and H – C – O – C – H
H H H H
Both have a molecular formula of: C2H6O
However, they are different compounds because
they have different structures. This means that
they have different properties. This is called an
isomer.
Structural Formula
• This means that we CANNOT just write the
molecular formula for an organic compound
because we still will not know what compound it
is. We have to be able to indicate the structure.
Structural Formula:
To show an organic compound, we can either
draw a structural formula
H H H H
(ex) H – C – C – C – O – C – H
H H H H
(ex)
(ex)
• Saturated hydrocarbons:
hydrocarbons with all single bonds
(the carbon is saturated with H)
• Unsaturated hydrocarbons:
hydrocarbons with double or triple
bonds (the carbon could hold
more H than it is holding)
Naming Hydrocarbons
• On Table P find the parent name by counting
the number of carbon atoms in the longest
straight chain.
• Put -ane on the end if it’s an alkane.
Put -ene on the end if it’s an alkene.
Put -yne on the end if it’s an alkyne.
• If there is a double or triple bond, we want to
know where it is in the chain of carbons…so
we put a number to indicate which carbon the
double or triple bond is on (We want the
lowest number possible).
H H H
(ex) H – C – C =C – C – C – H
H H H H H
Branched Hydrocarbons
• A branched hydrocarbon contains an alkyl group
which is a branch of carbon(s) coming off of a
main chain of carbon atoms.
(ex) –C–C–C–
–C–
–C– –C–
• If there are 2 different alkyl groups,
they must be put into ABC order.
(ex) – C – C – C – C – C – C – C –
–C– –C–
–C–
Isomers
• Two compounds with the same
molecular formula (# of C, H, and
O atoms) but different structure.
• As the compound gets bigger,
there are more possible
arrangements for the atoms and
therefore more possible isomers
Butane has 2 isomers.
Octane has 18 isomers.
Decane has 75 isomers.
3 Isomers of pentane
(ex) pentane

• Are the following isomers of each
other?

What is a Functional Group?
• Functional Group:
An atom or group of atoms bonded to a
hydrocarbon that gives it specific properties.
IUPAC means International Union for Pure and
Applied Chemistry.
Prefix- Parent-Infix-Suffix
(ex 2-chloropropanol
(ex) – C – C – OH
O
(ex) – C – OH
Functional Groups
Ester:
Used in food flavorings. It is the chemical that is
responsible for the smell of flowers and fruits
and perfumes. Esters are also in TNT.
Name the alcohol end (single bonded O) as an
alkyl group.
Name the organic acid end and change the
ending to -oate.
O
(ex) CH3CH2C – O – CH2CH2CH3
O
(ex) -C– C – C – O – CCH3
Functional Groups
Amine:
It is the functional group in amino
acids. It is in caffeine.
Name ends in -amine
(ex) CH3CH2NH2
(ex) –C–C–C–N–
Functional Groups
Ether:
Used to be used as an anesthetic.
Name both ends like an alkyl group
and put in ABC order.
Name ends in -ether.
(ex) CH3OCH2CH3
**Table R is wrong.
(ex) CH3CH2OCH2CH3
Functional Groups
Halide:
Used in refrigerants and produced by car exhaust.
CFC (chlorofluorocarbons) are chemicals that
break down the ozone.
Name begins in chloro, fluoro, bromo, iodo.
H H H H
(ex) H – C – C – C – C – H

Organic Reactions
Because organic compounds have a
different structure than other types
of molecular compounds, they
undergo different types of
reactions. There are 7 general
types of organic reactions.
(ex) C6H14 + O2
(ex) CH4 + O2
Incomplete Combustion
Incomplete combustion:
• Occur when there is NOT
enough O2 present, and
therefore the products that are
made contain less O2.
• Products are CO and H2O or C
and H2O.
(ex) C6H14 + O2 CO + H2O
(ex) C4H10 + O2 C + H2O
Substitution Reactions
Substitution reaction:
• Occur when we have a
saturated hydrocarbon (alkane)
plus a halogen.
• Products are a halocarbon and
an acid from group 17.
(ex) – C – + F – F
(ex) – C – C – C = C – + Br – Br
(ex) CH2CH2 + I2
Fermentation Reactions
Fermentation reaction:
• Occur when we have a sugar
(CnH2nOn) plus an enzyme or
yeast (ends in -ase).
• Products are ethanol and CO2.
zymase
(ex) C11H22O11
yeast
(ex) C6H12O6
Esterification Reactions
Esterification (making esters) reaction:
• Occur when we have an organic acid
plus an alcohol.
• Occurs by dehydration synthesis.
• Products are an ester and H2O.
O
(ex) – C – C – C – OH + HO– C – C –
O

Saponification
Saponification (making soap) reaction:
• Occur when we have a fat plus a
strong base.
• Products are glycerol ( 1, 2, 3-
propantriol) and 3 soap molecules
(which is a metal bonded to a fatty
acid).
O
(ex) – C – O – C – C20H41
O

Polymerization
Polymerization (making polymers) reaction:
Polymer: any organic substance with
repeating units
Monomer: basic organic unit of any
polymer
• Occurs when monomers bond together in a
long chain to make a polymer.
– Addition polymerization:
• Occurs when you have an unsaturated
hydrocarbon.
• The double or triple bond is broken and
used to bond the monomers together in a
long chain.
• Product is a polymer.
(ex) HO – C – C – OH + HO – C – C – OH
