FC710 Chemistry Theme 8: Carbon compounds: properties and reactions Lesson 15: Hydrocarbons Theme 8 : In this theme we will cover: • Fundamental concepts used to understand organic reactions (Lesson 15) • Classification of organic reactions and properties and reactions of carbon compounds, based on functional groups: o Lesson 15: alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatics (benzene) o Lesson 16: alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, halogenoalkanes o Lesson 17: carboxylic acids, esters, amines, amides By the end of this lesson you should be able to: • Understand and apply some fundamental concepts of organic chemistry reactions: • curly arrow notation • heterolytic and homolytic bond fission • electrophiles and nucleophiles • Have a better understanding of the properties and reactions of hydrocarbons Recap • Organic compounds are classified by their functional groups • A functional group is a group of atoms in a compound that is responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of the compound • We've learned about various functional groups • Over the next 3 lessons, we're going to learn more about the properties and reactions of these functional groups Some important fundamental concepts • T...
