Essential Organic Chemistry for Science Students
- Organic Chemistry deals with compounds derived from living sources, such as cotton, silk, wool, perfume, soap, and petrol.
- These compounds are studied in Organic Chemistry, which is crucial for science students and those aiming for high marks in the 10th board exams.
- Initially, scientists believed organic compounds couldn't be synthesized in labs due to a vital force theory, but this was disproved by the creation of urea.
- Organic compounds are characterized by carbon-hydrogen bonds, while inorganic compounds are made from non-living sources like metals and minerals.
- Organic compounds exhibit unique properties like solubility in organic solvents, poor conductivity, volatility, and catenation, unlike inorganic compounds.
- Organic compounds are colorless, while inorganic compounds often display color reactions, with organic matter decomposing faster than inorganic matter.
- Examples of organic compounds include enzymes, proteins, DNA, RNA, fuel, petroleum, shampoo, and dyes, all derived from living sources.
- Carbon's tetravalency, catenation, and isomerism are key properties that make organic chemistry unique and essential for understanding organic compounds.
- Hydrocarbons, the simplest organic compounds, are classified into aliphatic (open chains) and cyclic (closed chains) compounds, with examples like alkenes and alkynes.
- Homologs in organic chemistry have similar structures and chemical properties, with each member differing by the addition of CH2 in the general formula, exemplified by methane, ethane, and propane.

Understanding Organic Compounds: Naming and Properties
- Carbon with two atoms is ethane, while carbon with three atoms is propane.
- The series of compounds with similar properties is called homologous.
- Understanding the homologous property of compounds like propane helps in recognizing their common formula and properties.
- Learning the IUPAC naming system for organic compounds is crucial for scoring marks in exams.
- IUPAC naming involves three parts: word root, suffix, and prefix.
- Alkynes are groups derived from alkanes by removing hydrogen atoms.
- The formula for alkynes is CnH2n+1, where n represents the number of carbons.
- Alkynes have linking properties due to their common formula.
- Functional groups like hydroxy and aldehyde have distinct properties in organic compounds.
- Proper numbering and identification of functional groups are essential in naming organic compounds following IUPAC rules.

Naming Alkanes and Isomers in Chemistry
- Carbon atoms combine to form the longest chain in a molecule.
- The numbering of carbon atoms is crucial for naming molecules.
- Alcohols are named based on the position of functional groups.
- Isomers are structurally different compounds within the same chemical family.
- Butane's formula is C4H10, following the general formula CnH2n+2 for alkanes.
- Alkanes have tetravalent carbons with four valence electrons.
- Isobutane is an isomer of butane due to branching.
- Isomerism can result from chain or position changes in carbon arrangements.
- Methane, the first alkane, is produced through various methods.
- Methane is colorless, odorless, and sparingly soluble in water.

Chemical Reactions of Alkenes and Alkanes
- Alkenes consist of carbon and hydrogen, forming carbon dioxide and water when combined with oxygen in the presence of air.
- In the absence of air, alkenes produce carbon monoxide, a highly poisonous and odorless gas.
- Alkanes combine with halogens found in the 17th group of the periodic table, such as chlorine, fluorine, bromine, and iodine, to form halides.
- Methane reacts with chlorine in diffuse sunlight at 600 Kelvin to produce chloromethane.
- Chloromethane is formed through a substitution reaction where chlorine replaces hydrogen in methane.
- The substitution reaction continues with the addition of more chlorine to form dichloromethane and trichloromethane.
- Further addition of chlorine results in tetrachloromethane, also known as carbon tetrachloride.
- Catalytic oxidation of alkanes involves combining oxygen with alkanes in the presence of a catalyst like copper under high pressure and temperature to produce methyl alcohol.
- Methyl alcohol is produced by reacting methane with oxygen using different catalysts like molybdenum oxide and manganese-based catalysts.
- Alkenes, the first member being ethene, are more reactive and are not found in free states, being used in the production of various compounds like ethanol through specific reactions involving sulfuric acid and other catalysts.

Lab preparation of ethene and alcohol properties.
- Lab preparation of ethene involves using water and calcium carbide in a flask with a round bottom.
- Water is added drop by drop to calcium carbide to produce ethene through downward displacement of water.
- The reaction of calcium carbide with water forms calcium hydroxide and ethene, also known as acetylene.
- Ethene is a colorless gas with a sweet aroma, similar to various sweet-smelling foods like raw mango toffee and paan.
- Addition reaction with hydrogen can convert ethene to ethin in two stages, changing the triple bond to a double bond and then to a single bond.
- Alcohol suffixes include methyl alcohol (methanol) and ethyl alcohol (ethanol), with different properties and uses.
- Alcohol can be oxidized to form aldehydes, such as converting methyl alcohol to methanoic acid or formic acid.
- Dehydration of alcohol using sulfuric acid removes water, converting ethanol to ethene.
- Alcohol has commercial uses in making paint, varnish, organic solvents, and denatured alcohol for industrial purposes.
- Acetic acid, or ethanoic acid, is a weak acid used in food preservation, with properties like turning blue litmus red and reacting with metals to form salts.
