Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing compounds.
(Natural) occurs naturally (Synthetic) man-made
-Willow tree- SALICIN The model at the bottom right of the picture shows a close relative of salicin. Scientists made, or synthesized, this chemical near the end of the nineteenth century. It is called acetyl salicylic acid (ASA). You probably know it better by its brand name, Aspirin™.
MOLECULAR FORMULA Tells the number of atoms of each element in a compound STRUCTURAL FORMULA Two-dimensional representation of the structure of a compound. Also called structural diagram.
Three kinds of Structural Diagrams Use the compound C6H14 as an example. 6 Carbon atoms 14 Hydrogen atoms
Isomers Compounds with same molecular formulas but different structural formulas. C6H14 for example.
Think of another possible isomer of C6H14 and draw the complete structural formula/diagram.
Let’s practice! Draw the structural formula for all the isomers of C5H12.
The shape of CH4 (Methane) is tetrahedral as predicted by VSEPR theory and proven by orbital hybridization.
Our knowledge about VSEPR theory and orbital hybridization will help us make three-dimensional models of isomers.
