Organic Chemistry Exercise Intext 1

Solution 1

(a) Organic chemistry may be defined as the chemistry of hydrocarbons and its derivatives.

(b) Vital Force Theory is a theory made by the Scientist Berzelius in 1809 which assumed that organic compounds are only formed in living cells and it is impossible to prepare them in laboratories.

It was discarded because Friedrich Wohler showed that it was possible to obtain an organic compound(urea) in the laboratory.

Solution 2

(a) Few sources of organic compounds are:

Plants

Animals

Coal

Petroleum

Wood

(b) The various applications of organic chemistry is:

It is used in the production of soaps, shampoos, powders and perfumes.

Various fuels like natural gas, petroleum are also organic compounds.

The fabrics that we use to make various dresses are also made from organic compounds.

Solution 3

Organic compounds are present everywhere. They are present in:

It is present in the production of soaps, shampoos, powders and perfumes.

It is present in the food we eat like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins etc.

Fuel like natural gas, petroleum are also organic compounds.

Medicines, explosives, dyes, insecticides are all organic compounds.

Thus we can say that organic compounds play a key role in all walks of life.

Solution 4

The unique properties shown by carbon are:

Tetravalency of carbon

Catenation

Isomerism

Solution 5

(a) Tetravalency: Carbon can neither lose nor gain electrons to attain octet. Thus it shares four electrons with other atoms. This characteristics of carbon by virtue of which it forms four covalent bonds, is called Tetravalency of carbon.

In structural form :

(b) Catenation: The property of self -linking of atoms of an element through covalent bonds in order to form straight chains, branched chains and cyclic chains of different sizes is known as catenation.

Carbon- carbon bond is strong so carbon can combine with other carbon atoms to form chains or rings and can involve single, double and triple bonds.

Solution 6

Four properties of organic compound that distinguish them from inorganic compounds are:

(i) Presence of carbon.

(ii) Solubility in the organic solvents.

(iii) Forming of covalent bonds.

(iv) Having low melting and boiling points.

Solution 7

Due to the unique nature of carbon atom, it gives rise to formation of large number of compounds. Thus this demands a separate branch of chemistry.

Solution 8

Hydrocarbons are compounds that are made up of only carbon and hydrogen.

Comparison of saturated and Unsaturated hydrocarbons:

Saturated Hydrocarbon

Unsaturated Hydrocarbon

1. Carbon atoms are joined only by single bonds.

Carbon atoms are joined by double or by triple bonds.

2. They are less reactive due to the non-availability of electrons in the single covalent bond.

They are more reactive due to presence of electrons in the double or the triple bond.

3. They undergo substitution reaction.

They undergo addition reaction.

Solution 9

Due to presence of unique properties of carbon like Tetravalency, catenation and Isomerism large number of organic compounds are formed.

Solution 10

(a) Single Bond compound: For example: In pentane

 

(b) Double bond compound: For example:- In pentene

(a) Saturated Hydrocarbon: Hexane (C6H14)

(b) Unsaturated Hydrocarbon: Hexene (C6H12)

Solution 13

Substitution reaction: A reaction in which one atom of a molecule is replaced by another atom (or group of atoms) is called a substitution reaction.

Addition reaction: A reaction involving addition of atom(s) or molecules(s) to the double or the triple bond of an unsaturated compound so as to yield a saturated product is known as addition reaction.
