Document Summary
Summary (all page references are according to ed. 1823, central to the study of the organic chemistry has been changed. Friedrich wohler, german chemist, attempted to synthesize organic compounds was a success with heating ammonium cyanate and produced urea. < 6 million organic compounds known + more new ones are isolated/synthesized per year. Organic compounds is the unique ability to form stable covalent bonds with other carbon atoms and with atoms of other elements inorganic compounds usually ionic bonding, and less likely for covalent bonding. Linus pauling, nobel peace prize and nobel price in chemistry on explanation in hybridization. For alknaes, h (1s) and c (sp3) Methane is the simplest form of alkane. Carbon atom may share ,ore than 1 pair of election to form multiple bonds, maximum up to 4 bonds since c can only hold an additional of 4 electrons. Molecular formuals give much less info about compound than structural formulas.
