ORGANIC AND INORGANIC CHEMISTRY (EXPT 1) Flashcards
Contain carbon that is covalently bonded to non-metals.
Organic Chemistry
The study of carbon & carbon compounds.
Organic Chemistry
The primary constituents of all living organisms.
Organic Compounds
It is the study of the formation, synthesis and properties of compounds that do not contain carbon hydrogen bonds.
Inorganic Chemistry
Used as table salt.
Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
Used in computer chips and solar cells.
Silicon dioxide (SiO2)
A well-known gemstone.
Sapphire (Al2O3)
Organic Compounds are (polar/nonpolar) compounds. They DO NOT dissolve in polar solvents.
Nonpolar
Organic Compounds have (high/low) melting points.
Low
Organic Compounds react (faster/slower) than ionic compounds.
Slower
Organic Compounds are (not/highly) flammable.
Highly
Organic Compounds have (high/low) boiling points.
Low
Carbon is able to form __ covalent bonds with other carbon or other elements.
4
Can form a maximum of four bonds.
Carbon
Usually combined with Hydrogen and often bonds with O, S, N and P.
Carbon
Simplest whole number ratio of elements.
Empirical Formula
Actual whole number ratio. Multiple of Empirical.
Molecular Formula
Simply shows the number of each type of atom present. It tells you nothing about the bonding within the compound.
Molecular formula
Gives the simplest possible whole number ratio of the different types of atom within the compound.
Empirical formula
Each carbon stom is listed separately, with atoms attached to it following. In cyclic parts of molecules, like benzene, carbons are grouped.
Condensed formula
Shows all of the atoms and all of the bonds present in an organic compound. The bonds are represented as lines.
Displayed formula
Similar to displayed formula; not all bonds are shows, although all atoms are still indicated using subscript numbers. Carbon hydrogen bonds are often simplified.
Structural formula
Most hydrogen atoms are omitted. Line ends or vertices represent carbons. Functional groups and atoms other than carbon or hydrogen are still shown.
Skeletal formula

Aqueous Waste
> 40% Organic Chemicals
Organic
• No visible loose powders
• Collect in unlabeled green pails
• Empty into the solid waste drums on the 7th floor
Lightly Contaminated Solid Waste
• Loose powders
• Heavily contaminated solid materials
Chemical Solid Waste
• Dispose in separate container
• May not be combined with other types of chemical wastes.
Undamaged bottle:
Dispose in original bottle
(no label necessary)
Damaged bottle:
Place in secondary container with a waste label
