Module 4 Organic Chemistry (History, Characteristics, Hybridization, Covalent Bonding Theory) Flashcards
Study of carbon and its derivatives
Organic Chemistry
These are compounds obtained from living organisms
Organic compounds
He identified organic chemistry as a branch of modern science.
Berzelius
Introduced the idea of vitalism.
Berzelius
He discovered urea, the first synthesized compound.
Wohler
He proposed structural theories for organic compounds.
Kekule
The reactivity of Organic Compounds
Slow reaction
The melting and boiling point of an organic compound.
Low melting and boiling points
Are they soluble in water?
Insoluble since they are covalent in nature
The conductivity of organic compounds.
Non-electrolyte
It can form a single, double, or triple bond.
Carbon
It contains hydrogen and carbon atoms only.
Hydrocarbon
Hydrocarbons that have no carbon-carbon multiple bonds.
Saturated hydrocarbon
Hydrocarbons that have carbon-carbon multiple bonds.
Unsaturated hydrocarbon
It is used to explain the three-dimensional placement of atoms in a molecule.
Hybridization
