Carbon Chemistry

(Lecture id-1221)

TOPICS & OBJECTIVES

1010 - Carbon
    1010 - Know organic compounds were originally identified as coming from living material.
    1020 - Recognize organic compounds are more flammable, less dense, less water soluble, and hydrophobic.
    1030 - Recall Friedrich Wöhler synthesized the first organic substance.
    1040 - Know organic compounds are now characterized as being based on carbon.
    1050 - Know carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5, it tetravalent, and forms bonds of 1st, 2nd, and third order.
 
1020 - Hydrocarbons
    1010 - Know hydrocarbons are organic molecules of only carbon and hydrogen.
    1020 - Draw and recognize hydrocarbons drawn as extended, condensed, and skeletal structures.
    1030 - Draw and recognize different conformers of the same hydrocarbon (same substance).
    1040 - Use Newman projections to describe trans, cis, and gauche rotamers (conformers).
    1050 - Recognize pairs of compounds that are structural isomers.
    1060 - Describe how a chiral center can produce stereoisomers (optical isomers).
 
1030 - Alkanes
    1010 - Draw and name n-alkanes with 2 to 10 carbons.
    1020 - Find carbon zero and find the unique (IUPAC) name of a simple branched alkane.
    1030 - Recognize common name alkyl groups including isobutyl, isopropyl, tert-butyl, and sec-butyl.
