OLD ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Based on the VITAL FORCE THEORY
OLD ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Disproved by FRIEDRICH WOHLER
OLD ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

compounds
OLD ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Deals with CARBON and its derivatives
NEW ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Study of HYDROCARBONS
NEW ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Source of ORGANIC
Primarily LIVING
Source of INORGANIC
Primarily NON-LIVING
Constituent of ORGANIC
CONTAINS CARBON
(also H, O, N, S, P, X)
Bond of ORGANIC
COVALENT
Constituent of INORGANIC
ALL ELEMENTS (w/ or
w/out carbon)
Bond of INORGANIC
IONIC
Polarity of ORGANIC
NONPOLAR/POLAR
Polarity of INORGANIC
none
Ability to ATTRACT electrons
ELECTRONEGATIVITY
WEAKER bond by two atoms of extremely different EN; they are transferring
electrons
IONIC
STRONGER bond by two atoms of same/similar EN; they are sharing electrons
COVALENT
How to determine if COVALENT or
IONIC?
- EN < 0.4 = COVALENT,
NONPOLAR - EN is 0.4– 1.8 = COVALENT,
POLAR - EN≥1.8=IONIC
