organic chemistry interaction allows us to
see, smell, fight,feel
what year that the term organic chemistry was used to mean chemistry of compound found in living organism
1700
low melting solid and more difficult to isolate, purify and work with high metals
organic compound
more than 99 percent of known chemical contains
carbon
what makes carbon special?
- electronic structure of carbon
-4A element that can share 4 valence electrons and form 4 covalent bond - carbon atoms can bond to one another by forming chain or ring

what are the common elements found in periodic table
H,C, N, O,F,Si,Cl,Br,I
what is the m of an atom
2x 10-10 m
what is the m of nucleus
10-14 to 10-15 m
electrons
10-10 m
specific atoms can be describe
atomic number and its mass number gives total number of protons plus neutrons in its nucleus.
atoms of given element has same atomic number but differ in mass depending on how many ________ contain
neutrons
atoms with same atomic number but different in mass number called
isotopes
weighted average mass unit of an element naturally occuring isotopes
atomic mass
behavior f specific electron in an atom can be describe by a mathematical expression called
wave equation
the solution to a wave equation called
wave function or orbital
it can be define region of space around the nucleus where electrons are found
orbitals
it can be define region of space around the nucleus where electrons are found
orbitals
what are the orbitals
s,p,d,f
what are the most common orbital of organic biological chemistry
s and p
what is the spherical with nucleus at center
s orbital
it is a dumbell shaped can be oriented space along three perpendicular directions denoted as px,py,pz
p orbital
the two parts of p orbital have differ algebraic sign (+ and -) in wave function and separated by region of zero electron density called
node
the two parts of p orbital have differ algebraic sign (+ and -) in wave function and separated by region of zero electron density called
