LEARNING OUTCOMES
 At the end of this chapter, you should be able to:
1. Draw and interpret displayed, condensed, and skeletal structures of organic molecules.
2. Identify functional groups and homologous series
3. Classify carbon and hydrogen atoms
4. Differentiate between structural and stereoisomers with examples.
5. Understand bond cleavage types (homolytic and heterolytic) in organic reactions.
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
 Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry that focuses on the study of
carbon-containing compounds.
 These compounds often contain other elements like hydrogen, oxygen,
nitrogen, and halogens,
 CARBON is the key element that forms the backbone of organic molecules .
CHEMICAL
 MOLECULAR FORMULA FORMULA
 EMPIRICAL FORM
 STRUCTURAL FORMULA

1.2 FUNCTIONAL
GROUPS
AND HOMOLOGOUS
SERIES
FUNCTIONAL GROUP
 Def : An atom or group of atom which characterizes the molecule and
determine its chemical properties
 Molecules with the same functional group are considered to be in the same
homologous series
 Example : CH3OH and CH3CH2CH2OH
 Homologous series is series of compounds with same functional group,
each members differs from the next member by a CH2 (alkyl) unit
Homologous series Functional group Naming Example

Alkane -ane

Alkene -ene

Alcohol -ol

Aldehyde -al

Ketone -one

Carboxylic acid -oic acid

Ester -ate

Amine -amine

Amide -amide

Acyl chloride -oyl chloride

EXERCISE
1. Draw expanded structure and skeletal structure for the following compounds:
i. HOCH2CH(CH3)CH2COCH3
ii. (CH3)3CCH2NH2
1. Draw the structural formula for compound below :
i. An aldehyde (C5H10O)
ii. A ketone (C4H8O)
iii. A carboxylic acid (C3H6O2)
iv. An amine (C5H13N)
v. An alcohol (C2H6O)
1.3 CLASSIFICATION OF
CARBON AND
HYDROGEN ATOMS
CLASSIFICATION OF CARBON ATOM

CLASS DEFINITION EXAMPLE

PRIMARY • The carbon atom bonded to one


carbon atom

SECONDARY • The carbon bonded to two other


carbon atoms

TERTIARY • The carbon bonded to three


other carbon atoms

QUARTENARY • The carbon bonded to four other


carbon atoms
CLASSIFICATION OF HYDROGEN ATOM
 There are 1o, 2o and 3o hydrogen atoms depending on the type of carbon
bonded to it.
 Example :
1.4 ISOMERISM
ISOMERISM

Chain isomer

Positional isomer

Functional Group
isomer
STRUCTURAL ISOMERISM
Chain Isomer Positional Isomer Functional Isomer
 Different carbon skeleton but  Have a substituent  Same molecular formula,
they possess the same functional group/functional group attached different in functional group
group to a different position of carbon  CnH2n – alkene & cycloalkane
 CnH2n+2O – alcohol & ether
 CnH2nO – aldehyde & ketone
 CnH2nO2 – carboxylic acids & ester

Eg : C4H10 Eg : C3H7OH Eg : C2H6O


CHAIN ISOMER
C4H10
POSITIONAL ISOMER
C3H7OH
FUNCTIONAL ISOMER
C2H 6O
STEREOISOMERISM
 Def : have same molecular formula and same bonding arrangement among atoms
but different from each other in the spatial orientations of groups in the molecule.
Cis-trans isomer Optical isomer
 Carbon-carbon double bond (C=C)  Isomers are called enantiomers
 Important requirement – there are different  Important requirement – molecules must have at
atoms or group of atoms at the same C=C/ least one chirality centre – carbon which s
carbon does not hold identical group bonded to 4 different atoms / groups
 Isomers that are optically active – exist as mirror
image

 Eg : CH3CH=CHCH3  Eg : CH3CH(OH)COOH
CIS-TRANS ISOMER
OPTICAL ISOMER
1.5 BOND CLEAVAGE
BOND CLEAVAGE
 All chemical reaction involve bond breaking/cleavage
Homolytic Heterolytic
 Breaking of covalent bond between same  Involves of two atoms with different
atom electronegativity
 Endothermic process – energy is absorbed  Breaking of polar covalent bonds, whereby both
to break the covalent bonds of bonding electron pair goes to the more
 Energy is provided by sunlight electronegative atom
 Product : free radical particles  Product : anion (nucleophile) and cation
(electrophile)
EXERCISE
1. Identify the functional group and name the homologous series present in the following
compound

2. Circle the chiral centre for compound below.


i. CH3CH2CH(OH)CH3
ii. CH3CH=CHCH(OH)CH3
iii. CH3COCH2CH(CH3)CH2CH3

3. State the type of isomerism shown by CH 3CH=CHCH(Cl)CH3. Draw diagram to represent the
isomers.

4. Draw structural formula of all possible structural isomers shown by a compound with
molecular formula C4H8
