LESSON ONE , TERMS

Definition of keywords and all important Terms

Hydrocarbon; is a compound containing carbon and hydrogen only.

Saturated hydrocarbons; Are organic compounds containing carbon – carbon single bonds only.

Unsaturated Hydrocarbons; Are organic compounds which contain  carbon – carbon   double or triple bonds.

Functional Group; is an atom or group of atoms or a bond in an organic compound that gives the molecule its characteristic chemical properties.

Cracking;  is the breakdown of complex or large molecules of hydrocarbons by action of heat or a catalyst to produce small molecules.

Polymerization;  is the combination of small organic molecules (monomers) to form large molecules (polymers)

Saponification; is a reaction between fats or oil and hot concentrated alkali to form soap and glycerol.

Ester ; an Ester is an organic compound produced by the reaction between an organic acid or alkanoic acid and an alcohol or alkanol.

Isomerism; is the occurrence of compounds of the same molecular formular but different structural formular.

Detergent; they are cleaning agents

Or they are substances that have cleaning power and can remove dirt from objects or substances].

Plastics; are polymers of hydrocarbons which can be molded into shapes.

Fats ; are solid esters or lipids obtained from the reaction between glycerol and long chain fatty acids.

Organic compounds ;Organic compounds can be defined as compounds which contain hydrocarbon.

Hydrocarbons (first four members in each group),

Hydrocarbons Hydrocarbons are organic compounds, composed entirely of carbon and hydrogen.

Alkanes – They have single Bonds

Alkenes – they have double bond

Alkynes They have triple Bonds

Aromatic Hydrocarbons – Ring compounds

More in lesson two. You teacher will explain more ……

Inorganic compounds;

Inorganic compounds are compounds which do not contain hydrocarbons.

Examples of inorganic compounds

1. Chalk 2. Salt 3. Washing soda 4. Carbon monoxide, CO 5. Carbon dioxide, CO2   6. Trioxocarbonate (IV), CO3 2-

Differences between organic and inorganic compounds
