​Organic Chemistry
 
Essential Ideas
  • Organic chemistry focuses on the chemistry of compounds containing carbon
  • Structure, bonding, and chemical reactions involving functional group interconversions are key strands in organic chemistry
  • Analytical techniques can be used to determine the structure of a compound, analyze the composition of a substance or determine the purity of a compound. Spectroscopic techniques are used in the structural identification of organic and inorganic compounds.
 
Objectives:
  • Understand that the alkanes are a family of hydrocarbons
  • Distinguish between the different types of formulas (empirical, molecular, structural)
  • Understand the difference between a full and a condensed structural formula
  • Understand what is meant by a homologous series
  • Understand what is meant by a functional group
  • Identify functional groups in molecules
  • Understand that compounds containing a benzene ring are described as aromatic
  • Explain trends in boiling points within homologous series
  • Use IUPAC rules to name alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes
  • Distinguish between saturated and unsaturated compounds
  • Use IUPAC rules to name halogenoalkanes
  • Use IUPAC rules to name alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters
  • Distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols
  • Distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary halogenoalkanes
  • Distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary amines
  • Understand what is meant by structural isomerism
  • Draw structural isomers for molecules with up to six carbon atoms
  • Explain the evidence for a delocalized structure for benzene
  • Write equations for the complete and incomplete combustion of alkanes
  • Explain why alkanes are not very reactive
  • Write equations for the reactions of alkanes with halogens
  • Explain the free radical substitution mechanism

  • Explain how to distinguish between alkanes and alkenes using bromine water
  • Understand that benzene reacts differently to alkenes
  • Understand the polymerization reactions of alkenes
  • Write equations for the complete combustion of alcohols
  • Describe the oxidation reactions of alcohols
  • Understand that carboxylic acids can react with alcohols to form esters
  • Describe the reactions of halogenoalkanes with aqueous sodium hydroxide
  • Understand that halogenoalkanes undergo nucleophilic substitution reactions
  • Understand how the number of double bonds/ rings in a compound can be worked out from a molecular formula
  • Understand how to use mass spectrometry to gain information about the structure of an organic molecule
  • Understand how to use infrared spectroscopy to gain information about the structure of an organic molecule
  • Understand how to use proton NMR spectroscopy to gain information about the structure of an organic molecule
