ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
ORGANIC MOLECULES
Pg 273 – 296 (Handbook)
,ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
• Is the study of organic molecules with carbon atom.
• It is a chemistry of living organism.
• Organic molecules vary in size from simple molecules
with few atoms to complex structures with many atoms.
• Other common atoms are: Hydrogen (H), Nitrogen (N),
Oxygen (O), Sulphur (S) and Phosphorus (P).
• Organic molecules are molecules which contain carbon
atom.
, CARBON ATOM
• Carbon atom is a versatile atom,
• Can bond with other carbon atoms to form large
molecules,
• It is denoted by C
• Has 6 protons and 6 electrons
• Has 4 valence electrons
• The electron configuration is
• 2p
12
• 𝐶 : 1𝑠 2 , 2𝑠 2 , 2𝑝2
• 2s
• 1s
, CARBON ATOM
• Orbital Shell
