Document Summary

Organic chemistry: study of carbon compounds, carbon is very unique due to the fact that it can form bonds with itself, (resulting in chains and complex structures, it is the only element that can do this, all organic molecules contain carbon, almost all organic compounds will contain hydrogen, most carbon heteroatoms (c, h, most common: o, n, f, cl, br, i, organic molecules, plants/animals, drugs/plastics/perfumes. Electronegativity: ability of an atom to attract electrons, carbon: 2. 5, hydrogen: 2. 1, across the row and up the column, electronegativies increase with fluorine having the highest electronegativity (4. 0, indicates what types of bonds we have and allows us to understand reactivity. (c6h12o6): problem c structure: condensed structures, see the connections in a compact way, ch3ch2ch2ch3 (attached to c preceding them, lewis structures, able to see how many bonds each makes and to where, also shows the lone pairs and unpaired electrons, second period (b, c, n, o, f) can never have more than 4 bonds.
