Title: Organic chemistry
Description: Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may also include any number of other elements

Organic Chemistry
I conducted an experiment to test the reverse psychology theory - I asked people not to watch a
video to see if they would be more compelled to watch it
...
Did you want to learn about organic chemistry
or were you just curious?

●
Nonmetals tend to acquire electrons to satisfy the octet rule - they want to have 8
electrons
...
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons and fluorine has 7
...
This is also true for
halogens like chlorine, bromine, and iodine
...
Alkenes and Their Properties
An alkene is an unsaturated organic compound having a double bond
...
This makes it
unsaturated
...
The general formula for an alkene with one double bond is CnH2n
...
An alkane with four carbon atoms is known as butane, and for five carbon atoms, it is
pentane
...
To draw its Lewis structure:
Start from the left side and work your way towards the right side
...
The next carbon has a hydrogen atom (at the bottom) and an OH group
...
On the left side of this particular ether we have two carbons, which is an ethyl group, and on the
right side, we have a CH3
...
To draw the Lewis structure for this molecule, let's start with the left side, which is a methyl
group, a carbon with three hydrogen atoms
...
The only way in which the carbon atom will have four bonds is to put a
double bond between the carbon and the oxygen
...
It's pentanol now
...
Carboxylic acid is a weak acid consisting of a carbonyl group and a
hydroxyl group (or an -OH group)
...
The formal charge is determined by
subtracting the sum of bonds and dots from the number of valence
electrons in the free element
...
Examples:
● Ethylamine has the structure shown below:
● NH2-CH2-CH3
● The structure of an amide is similar to an amine, but it has a
carbonyl group (-CO-) between the R group and the NH2 group
...
Thus, its formal charge is
+1 (6-5=1) when it has three bonds
...
The actual molecule is a hybrid between the
two, but it resembles more the major resonance contributor than the
minor one
...
IUPAC nomenclature is better if you put the numbers in a Senate order
...
For example,
instead of having a 4-methyl group, we now have a 5-ethyl group
...
Instead
of having an ethyl group, we now have 4-etho-5-methyl-octane, which
will be called 4-ethyl-5-methyl-octane
