    REVIEW:

    Organic chemistry Definition


    Vital Force Theory
    Importance of Organic Chemistry
    What is Organic Chemistry?

     Chemistry of the Compounds


    of carbon
     Structures
     properties
    Vital Force Theory

     Compounds from living matter


    such as plants and animals
    contain a “vital force” that is
    necessary to synthesize it
     Organic compounds cannot be
    synthesized in the lab
     Fredrick Wohler disproved the
    theory when he synthesized
    urea
    Importance of Organic Chemistry

     Organic chemicals affect


    virtually every facet of our
    lives
     Isolation and synthesis of
    new drugs / availability of
    vaccines – expanded life
    span
     Development of medicine
    Importance of Organic Chemistry

     Food
     Other objects in our homes
     Textiles and fabrics (polyesters)
     Plastics
     Paints, varnishes and dyes (
    mauveine by Henry Perkin)
     Fuel and Solvents
     Organic Chemistry

     All organisms are built from


    molecules that have C atoms
    as the basic building block
     The Chemistry of Carbon
     The Chemistry of Carbon
    • Allotropes of Carbon
    Graphite (graphene) Fullerene
     The Chemistry of Carbon

     Millions of organic
    compounds
     Catenation
     Valency
    • Kinetic stability
    • Multiple bonds Ball and Stick model of the Vitamin
    B12 molecule
