INTRODUCTION TO ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
ORGANIC MOLECULES § Organic means: “contains carbon” § 90% of all known compounds are organic
ELEMENTS IN ORGANIC MOLECULES § There are six elements that are most common in organic molecules: § Carbon (C) § Hydrogen (H) § Oxygen (O) § Nitrogen (N) § Phosphorus (P) § Sulfur (S) CHONPS (Like CHOMPS, but with an N!)
CARBON § Carbon can form covalent bonds with 4 other atoms. § Because Carbon can bond with four other atoms, Carbon can help make many different structures. This helps to ensure diversity of life on earth! H H C H H
COVALENT BONDS § In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons § They are the strongest type of chemical bond § Atoms can share one, two or three electrons.
TYPES OF COVALENT BONDS § Share one electron: Single bond C-C § Share two electrons: Double bond C=C § Share three electrons: Triple bond CΞ C
WHAT ARE ATOMS? § Atoms: (smallest piece of a certain element): Carbon Atom Oxygen Atom
PUTTING ATOMS TOGETHER MAKES MOLECULES § Molecules: A combination of atoms § Example: Carbon Dioxide (CO 2) § How many atoms of Carbon does CO 2 have?
DIFFERENT WAYS OF VISUALIZING (DRAWING) MOLECULES: Example: Water Remember: In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons. This holds each atom together.
THE FOUR MOST COMMON TYPES OF ORGANIC MOLECULES § Carbohydrates: such as sugar and pasta § Lipids: such as butter and olive oil § Proteins: such as meat, nuts and soy § Nucleic Acids: such as DNA
EXAMPLES: CARBOHYDRATES Sucrose
EXAMPLES: LIPIDS Fatty Acids Triglyceride Cholesterol
EXAMPLES: PROTEINS Amino Acids Hemoglobin (a protein)
EXAMPLES: NUCLEIC ACIDS Nucleotides DNA
HOW TO REMEMBER STRUCTURES § Carbohydrates: § Have a 5 -Carbon ring form, or often have many rings joined in a line (or branching from each other) by an oxygen molecule § Lipids: § Have long hydrocarbon chains (chains of hydrogen and carbon atoms), and steroids have rings joined at the side.
HOW TO REMEMBER STRUCTURES…continued § Proteins: Carbon atom with four “groups” coming off of it: § 1) COO- 2) H 3)H 3 N 4) random § Or, the molecule is made of many of these Carbon atom groups joined together and looks “globular” § Nucleic Acids: single 6 -Carbon ring structures, or a 6 -C ring fused to a 5 -C ring. Many of these joined together
