Guide Questions:

1. In the table above what do you notice about organic compounds?

2. Based on activity 2A, define organic compound.

What Is It

Organic compounds are group of compounds that contain the element carbon. It
contains carbon and hydrogen with other elements namely oxygen, nitrogen,
phosphorus, sulfur and halogens (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine) ethyl
alcohol, acetone, gasoline, acetic acid, vanillin, acetylene, and esters are just a few
examples of many useful organic compounds. This kind of compounds are produced
by plants and animals (living organism). However, these carbon-containing
compounds can also be produced artificially. There are organic compounds that are
produced from petroleum: LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas), gasoline, lubricating oil
and kerosene. These compounds have different uses in the community.

Many organic compounds are formed because of the special characteristics of the
element carbon. A carbon atom has four valence electrons. This kind of atomic
structure makes the carbon atom able to form four covalent bonds with atoms of
other elements and other carbon atoms. Carbon atoms can also make many types of
arrangements: single bond, double bond, and triple bond. With these abilities of the
carbon atoms, chemical bonds between carbon atoms and other elements can form
different kinds of compounds with short and long, straight and branch chained
structures such as the following compounds.
Ethene
Methane Acetylene

 What’s More

Congrats! You have already known organic compound and its examples. This time
let’s recognize the uses of common organic compounds.

Activity 3: Organic Compounds: Are They Useful?

Procedure:
1. Use the pictures of the materials to answer the following questions.
2. Complete the table below. Using a  mark, indicate the uses of the
compounds. You may have more than one  mark per example depending
on its uses.

 Now, you have learned the important uses of commonly used organic
compounds.
Every kind of organic compound has specific properties or characteristics.
Although these compounds may show similarities in same properties, these
compounds do not have exactly the same properties.
The following information will be used in answering Table 1. Properties of
Common Organic Compounds:

I. Phase of matter is the physical state of the material. This describes the
physical property of matter whether it is solid, liquid, or gas.
II. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. If the viscosity is high,
the flow of liquid is slow or the liquid is thick.
III. Volatility is the measure of the tendency of substance to evaporate or to
turn into gaseous state.
IV. Flammability is the measure of how easily a material burn. In this activity,
flammability of the liquids will be measured based on the time it takes the
wet cotton buds to finish burning.

Activity 4: Properties of Common Organic Compounds

Objectives:
1. Observe the properties of common organic compounds; and
2. Relate these properties to their uses.

Materials Needed:

Kerosene Stop watch 4 cones (same sizes made of bond paper)

Lubricating Oil Calculator 4 pieces of ¼ sheet of long bond papers

Ethyl Alcohol Matches 25 mL graduated cylinder (or small

transparent plastic cup

4 medicine Tray 4 identical transparent plastic cups

droppers

Diesel oil 4 bottle crowns (tansan)

Follow the procedure carefully because you are about to

CAUTION use flammable substances. Prepare sand or wet rags to
be used in case of fire.

Procedure:

1.) A. Use the table below to record your data from this activity.
Table 1. Properties of Common Organic Compounds

B. Place 15 mL of each liquid in the four identical transparent plastic cups.

Label each cup according to the liquid it contains.
C. Observe the materials. After which, write the phase and odor of the
materials on the table.

2.) Testing the Viscosity of the materials:

TAKE CARE:

Use one dropper for one of each kind of sample. Wash each
dropper after one use. Do not mix samples

a. Place the cone marked A, B, C, and D on the tray

b. Using a dropper, put 3 drops of Kerosene on top of cone A. Record the
time it takes for the kerosene to reach the tray.
c. Perform three times for each material.
d. Procedure a, b, and c should look like the illustration below.

911
 3.) Testing the Volatility of Materials.

a. Put 4 pieces of ¼ sheet of long bond papers on the table. Using a medicine
dropper, put two drops of each liquid material on separate pieces of bond
paper. An adult supervision is needed with this activity.

b. Record the time it takes the papers to dry. This is equivalent to the time it
takes the liquid to completely evaporate.
4.) Testing for Flammability of the Materials

Caution: Wear face mask before performing the following procedure. Have a small
basin of sand or wet rags near you while doing the test for flammability

a. Prepare four bottle crowns (tansan) and then place a cotton bud in each
crown/
b. Wet the cotton buds with 10 drops of the liquid materials
c. Ignite each wet cotton bud using a lighted match stick
d. Record the time it takes each cotton bud to burn completely
e. Repeat steps a-d three times so that you will have 3 trials per liquid
materials
f. Compute for the average time it takes each set up to burn completely
Guide Questions:

1. Which is most viscous? What are the common uses of viscous materials?
2. Which materials are flammable? In what ways are these materials used?
3. Which liquid materials have strong odor? Which ones have weak odor?
4. Why is it important to know the properties of these kinds of organic
compounds?
In this activity you have learned about the properties of some common organic
compounds and the relationship of these properties to their uses. You were able to
observe in the experiments that kerosene, ethyl alcohol, and diesel gas are
flammable compounds. Ethyl alcohol is volatile compound and lubricating oil is a
thick or viscous liquid.

Activity 5: The Structure of the Carbon Atom

How well do you know the carbon atom? Give the following data about the carbon
atom.

____________________1. Atomic Number

____________________2. Number of protons

____________________3. Number of electrons

____________________4. Number of neutrons

____________________5. Electronic configuration

____________________6. Number of valence electrons

10
12
____________________7. Number of electrons that it needs to share with to become
stable
____________________8.

____________________9. Kind of bonds it can form

___________________10.

Draw the carbon atom inside the

box. Show its nucleus and the
correct number of energy levels,
protons (), electrons (),
neutrons ().

The Lewis electron dot symbol of the carbon atoms is:

The  symbolizes the valence electrons. The carbon atom has 4 valence electrons.
C is called the kernel which symbolizes the nucleus and the non-valence electrons.
The kernel of the atom is positively charged.

Explain why the kernel of the atom is positively charged:

__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
The Octet Rule explains how electrons become stable. Atoms must have 8 valence
electrons to be stable. Having only 4 valence electrons, the carbon atom becomes
stable by sharing its 4 valence electrons with 4 electrons from another atom.
There are several ways how the carbon atom shares its electrons:

 Carbon can share each valence electron with 4 different atoms forming 4 single
bonds, like in methane (left) and carbon tetrachloride (right):

 Carbon can share two valence electrons with other atoms (double bond), like in
carbon dioxide (left), carbon disulfide (center) and methanol (right):

11
13
 Carbon can share three valence electrons with other atoms (triple bond) like in
ethyne (left) and hydrogen cyanide (right):

These types of bonding explain why there are varied types of carbon compounds.
Carbon can bond with itself and with other atoms. It can form chains and it can form
polymers which are large molecules that consist of many smaller molecules joined
together by covalent bonds. It can also form branched compounds and cyclic
compounds.

Below, left, is nonane, a chain of nine carbons in single bonds and at right, butanol,
a chain of 4 carbon with an alcohol functional group (-OH):

The structure in the upper left part is ethylene which is the monomer in polyethylene
or the compound that makes up our very common plastic

Below left is a branched compound: 3-methyl, 2-pentyne. At right is cyclohexene, a

cyclic carbon compound:
