Unit 17:Chemical Applications: Organic Chemistry
Guiding Questions:
- How is chemistry important for life?
- How is oil processed to make gasoline?
What you should learn:
- Organic molecules generally bond in regular, predictable ways that allow for a systematic naming and identification of physical and chemical properties.
- Just like, inorganic chemistry, electron arrangement allows one to predict chemical and physical properties.
More Specifically...:
- State that organic chemistry is the study of carbon - the compounds it forms and the reactions it undergoes
- Classify compounds as organic or inorganic
- Describe the carbon-carbon bond
- Identify and name alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes using a prefix to describe the length of the carbon chain.
- Define saturated and monounsaturated and polyunsaturated
- State that functional groups determine the properties of carbon compounds.
- Recognize the following functional groups
- Carboxylic acids
- Define biochemistry as the study of chemistry that occurs in living organisms.
- Characterize biologically important monomers in terms of their functional groups
- a. Sugars
- b. Amino acids
- c. Fatty acids
- d. Nucleotides
- Describe dehydration reactions
- Petroleum
- List uses for petroleum other than energy
- Describe how distillation works in refining petroleum
- Define octane and explain why octane rating in gasoline is important
- Explain why the burning of fossil fuels is believed to contribute to pollution
