HISTORY OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Cards (26)

  • In ancient days, chemical compound we're divided in two classes
    Organic
    Inorganic
  • Were those source of minerals
    inorganic compounds
  • Were those obtained from vegetables or animal sources that are materials produced.
    organic compounds
  • organic compounds from plants (vegetable source)
    1. carbohydrates
    2. lipids
    3. protein
    4. vitamin
  • organic compounds animal source
    1. nucleic acid
    2. lipids
    3. protein
    4. hormones
  • Ancient time

    Men extracted chemicals from plants and animals to treat members of their tribes
  • Defined Organic Chemistry as a branch of modern science He believed in the idea of vitalism "compounds could only originate from living organisms through the actions of some vital force"

    Jons Jacob Berzelius
  • Discovered that Urea, could be made by heating ammonium cyanate he mixed silver cyanate and ammonium chloride to produce solid silver chloride and aqueous ammonium cyanate
    Fredrick Wohler
  • chemical equation of silver chloride and aqueous ammonium cyanate
  • Kolbe is most famous for the Kolbe electrolysis, a method for synthesizing hydrocarbons from carboxylic acids.
  • a method for synthesizing hydrocarbons from carboxylic acids
    kolbe electrolysis
  • Proposed the theories on the relationship between compound's chemical formula and physical distribution of its atoms
    Kekule
  • Chemists engaged to formulate the nature of chemical bonding
    1900
  • In the 20th century organic chemistry branched into sub- disciplines such as:
    polymer chemistry
    pharmacology
    bioengineering
    petro- chemistry
  • Organic or inorganic: Carbon is predominant element
    organic
  • Organic or inorganic:
    More volatile and also highly flammable
    organic
  • organic or inorganic: Faster chemical reaction
    inorganic
  • Organic or inorganic:
    No predominant element found. Some have carbon but there are exceptions
    inorganic
  • Organic or inorganic: Not flammable and non-volatile
    inorganic
  • organic or inorganic: Low melting and boiling point
    organic
  • organic or inorganic: Soluble in water, non soluble in some organic
    inorganic
  • organic or inorganic: Non electrolyte
    organic
  • Exhibit isomerism
    organic
  • Covalent bond
    organic
  • An electrolyte is a substance that dissociates into ions when dissolved in a solvent, usually water. These ions can conduct electricity, which is why electrolytes are crucial for various biological and chemical processes.
  • Electrolytes become ions when they dissolve in a solvent, typically water. This process is called dissociation.
