Examples are :

(2) Closed-chain or Cyclic compounds :


Compounds containing atleast one ring in their structure are called cyclic compounds. If the ring contains
one type of atoms, the compound is homocyclic, and if the ring contains atleast one hetero atom, the compound
is called heterocyclic. Depending upon the nature of the ring, these compounds are further divided into the
following two categories :
(A) Homocyclic or Carbocyclic compounds : When all the atoms of the ring are carbons, the cyclic
compounds are known as homocyclic compounds. For example,

Homocyclic compounds are further divided into two categories :


(i) Alicyclic homocyclic compounds : Homocyclic compounds which resemble aliphatic compounds
are called alicyclic compounds. Some of the examples are :

(ii) Aromatic compounds : Compounds containing one or more fused or isolated benzene rings (a
six membered ring of carbon atoms with alternate single and double bonds) are called aromatic
compounds.
Examples :

(B) Heterocyclic compounds : Cyclic compounds having at least one heteroatom (atom other than
carbon) in the ring are heterocyclic compounds. Heterocyclic compounds can be classified into two categories
:
(i) Alicyclic heterocyclic compounds : Heterocyclic compounds which resemble aliphatic compounds
in their properties are called alicyclic heterocyclic compounds.

(ii) Aromatic heterocyclic compounds : Heterocyclic compounds which resemble aromatic


compounds in most of their properties are called aromatic heterocyclic compounds.

7. Classification of organic compounds based on type of bond present


Hydrocarbons
A compound made up of hydrogen and carbon only is called hydrocarbon.
(Hydrogen + Carbon = Hydrocarbon).
Example : Methane(CH4), Ethane(C2H6), Ethene(C2H4), and Ethyne (C2H2).
The most important natural source of hydrocarbons is petroleum which is obtained from underground oil
deposits by drilling oil wells.
Types of hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are of two types : (i) Saturated hydrocarbons
(ii) Unsaturated hydrocarbons.
(i) Saturated hydrocarbons : A hydrocarbon in which caron atoms are connected by only single
bonds is called a saturated hydrocarbon. Saturated hydrocarbons are also called alkanes.
Alkanes : An alkane is a hydrocarbon in which carbon atoms are connected by only single covalent
bonds. The names of all these saturated hydrocarbons end with ‘ane’.
Example : Methane(CH4), Ethane(C2H6), Propane(C3H8) etc.

The general formula of saturated hydrocarbons is CnH2n+2 where n is the number of carbon atoms
in one molecule of alkane.
(i) If an alkane has one carbon atom in its molecule, then n = 1 and its molecular formula will be
CH 4 .
(ii) If an alkane has two carbon atoms in its molecule, then n = 2 and its molecular formula will be
C2H 6.

Heptanes 7 C 7H1 6
Octane 8 C 8H1 8
Nonane 9 C 9H2 0
Decane 10 C 10H2 2
The saturated hydrocarbons are chemically not very reactive.
(ii) Unsaturated hydrocarbons : A hydrocarbon in which two carbon atoms are connected by a
double bond or a triple bond is called an unsaturated hydrocarbon. Alkenes and alkynes are called
unsaturated hydrocarbons.
Example : Ethene(C2H4), Propene(C3H6), Butene(C4H8)
Alkenes : An alkene is a hydrocarbon in which carbon atoms are connected by double bonds.
The names of alkenes end with ‘ene’.
The general formula of alkenes is CnH2n where n is the number of carbon atoms in one molecule
of alkane.
(i) If an alkene has two carbon atoms in its molecule, then n = 2 and its molecular formula will be
C2H 4.
(ii) If an alkane has three carbon atoms in its molecule, then n = 3 and its molecular formula will be
C3H 6.

Alkynes : An unsaturated hydrocarbons in which the two carbon atoms are connected by a triple bond is
called an alkyne. The names of alkynes and with ‘yne’.
Example : Ethyne(C2HB), Propyne(C3HD), Butyne(C4H6) etc.
The general formula of alkynes is CnH2n–2 where n is the number of carbon atoms in one molecule of alkane.
(i) If an alkyne has two carbon atoms in its molecule, then n = 2 and its molecular formula will be
C2H 2.
(ii) If an alkane has three carbon atoms in its molecule, then n = 3 and its molecular formula will be
C3H 4.

Decane 10 C10H1 8
Alkyl group : By removing a hydrogen atom from an alkane, alkyl group is obtained.
Alkyl group is represented by R –.
While deriving the name of an alkyl group “ane” of alkane is replaced with “yl”. Thus
Alkane  H atom = Alkyl group
A unit called methylene group - CH2
The difference between carbon and hydrogen atoms in the first four members of alkanes is,
1. Difference between ethane and methane = [C2H6 - CH4] = CH2
2. Difference between propane and ethane = [C3H8 - C2H6] = CH2
3. Difference between butane and propane = [C4H10 - C3H8] = CH2
The difference of carbon and hydrogen atoms between two consecutive members of alkanes is CH 2. This
—CH2 unit is called methylene group.
By removing one or more CH2 groups from a given saturated hydrocarbon, we can obtain another saturated
hydrocarbon with lesser number of carbon atoms.
Similarly, by adding one or more CH2 groups in a given saturated hydrocarbon, we can obtain another
hydrocarbon with more number of carbon atoms.
Furthermore, there is a difference of 14 amu (molecular mass of CH2 is 14) between two consecutive
hydrocarbons.

8. Homologous series
Alkanes have a general formula Cn H2n + 2 and each member differs from the next by a fixed group — CH2
— (the methylene group), even they have similar chemical properties. In other classes of compounds like
alkenes, alkynes, alcohols or acids, the same thing happens. Such a series of compounds is known as a
homologous series and the individual members are homologues.
Compounds having the same functional group and similar properties that differ from the adjacent members
by a — CH2 — group constitute a homologous series and the phenomenon is called homology.
The members of the same class of organic compounds, when arranged in the order of ascending
molecular weights such that they differ from each other by – CH2 group, are collectively called
homologues.
Example of a homologous series for each class (or family) of compounds are :

Characteristics of a homologous series


The members of a homologous series can be represented by a general formula, e.g., the alkanes by CnH2n+2,
alkenes by CnH2n, alkynes by CnH2n–2 and alcohols by CnH2n+1OH, where ‘n’ stands for number of carbon
atoms in one molecule of alkane.
Every member of a homologous series differs from the adjacent ones in composition by CH2.
This is because every succeeding member of a homologous series arises by the replacement of an H atom
in the preceding member by a CH3 group. For example, C2H6 (ethane) may be thought to arise from CH4
(methane) as follows.

The molecular masses of two consecutive members of a homologous series differ by 14 amu (equivalent to
one CH2 group).
Generally, similar methods may be employed to prepare all the compounds belonging to a homologous series.
The physical properties of the compounds of a homologous series change gradually as the molecular mass
changes. For example, the melting point, boiling point and density increase with molecular mass.
The chemical properties of the compounds belonging to the same homologous series are similar.

10. Classification of organic compounds based on type of functional


group
Functional groups
A saturated hydrocarbon is unreactive but if we introduce some other ‘atom’ or ‘group of atoms’ into it, the
resulting compound becomes very reactive. This other ‘atom’ or ‘group of atoms’ present in a carbon
compound is known as a functional group. Thus, an ‘atom’ or ‘a group of atoms’ which makes a carbon
compound (or organic compound) reactive and decides its properties (or functions) is called a
functional group.

iii) Prefix : Prefixes are used to indicate (i) the cyclic nature of the compound and (ii) the nature of
substituent present on the parent chain. Thus like suffixes, prefixes are of two types namely
primary and secondary.
a) Primary prefix : The primary prefix cyclo is added before the root word to indicate the
cyclic nature of the carbon skeleton, e.g.

In case the compound is acyclic (open chain), no prefix is used.
(b) Secondary prefix : The group which are not considered as functional groups, in IUPAC
system of nomenclature, but regarded as substituents are called secondary prefixes. These
are added before the root word in case of acyclic compounds and before the primary suffix
in case of cyclic compounds. Some important secondary prefixes along with their groups
are.

Classification of carbon and hydrogen in an organic compound


Carbon and hydrogen atoms of an organic ompound may be classified as :
1) First classification : First classification depends on the mode of arrangment of carbon atoms in the chain.
According to this classification we get four types of carbon atoms and three types of hydrogen atoms.
i) Primary carbon or 1°C : A carbon atom attached to one (or no) other carbon atom is called a
primary carbon.
ii) Secondary carbon or 2°C : If in a carbon chain a carbon is bonded to two other carbon atoms,
then it is known as secondary carbon.
iii) Tertiary carbon or 3°C : If in a carbon chain a carbon is bonded to three other carbon atoms,
then it is known as tertiary carbon.
Organic Chemistry 403

iv) Quaternary carbon or 4°C : If in a carbon chain a carbon is bonded to four other carbon atoms,
then it is known as quaternary carbon.
The hydrogen atoms present on primary, secondary and tertiary carbon atoms are said to be primt
secondary and tertiary hydrogen atoms respectively. Quaternary carbon has no hydrogen.

(2) Second Classification : In this method the relative positions of different carbon atoms in a molecule are
designated with respect to the functional group it contains. These designations are done by small letters of
Greek alphabet. The carbon atom directly attached to the functional group is designated as   C, the
carbon atom next to it is indicated as  -carbon atom and the next to   C is  -carbon atom and so on.
Each of the hydrogens is given the similar , ,  and  designation as the carbon atom to which it is
attached.
For example :

Types of alkyl groups


a) Primary alkyl group : When one hydrogen atom is removed from the hydrogens attached to the
terminal carbon atom of an alkane, primary alkyl group is formed.
H
e.g.: CH3  CH2  CH3   CH3  CH2  CH2
Propane Primary propyl group

b) Secondary alkyl group : When an hydrogen atom is removed from the hydrogens attached to a
middle carbon atom which is linked on either side to carbon atoms, secondary alkyl group is
formed.
H
e.g.: CH3  CH2  CH3   CH3  CH  CH3
Propane Primary propyl group
 or isopropyl group 
c) Tertiary alkyl group : When the hydrogen atom attached to a carbon atom which in turn is
attached to three other carbon atoms is removed, tertiary alkyl group is formed.

After learning about the names of simple hydrocarbons, let us consider the way of laming complex hydrocarbon
molecules. Since all the organic compounds are considered is derivatives of the alkanes, importance is to be
given for naming of these compounds first.

12. Basic Rules of Nomenclature


1. Longest chain rule : Select the longest possible continuous chain of carbon atoms which is called parent
chain and is named after that hydrocarbon.
Let us illustrate this by taking the following example :
1 2 3 4 5
6
CH3 . CH2 . CH2 . CH . CH . CH3
CH3 6CH2
7CH3

In the above example, there are two methyl first in the name of the compound in the
groups attached to the parent carbon chain. alphabetical order.
3. Least sum rule : The parent carbon chain is then Example :

7. When two chains of equal number of carbon atoms
compete for selection as the longest chain, select
7CH3 the one that has greater number of substituents
7 6 5 4 3 attached to it. The following example illustrates
CH3 CH2 CH2 CH C CH3 this point.

CH3 2CH2
CH3 CH3

correct. Obviously one chain has three substituents and
4. When the carbon chain carries two like the other one has four substituents. In both the
substituents, the number of location is repeated ways the longest chain has seven carbon atoms.
Thus the correct name of the compound is 3 -
using prefixes di - (2), tri - (3), tetra - (4) etc.
Ethyl - 2, 5, 6 - trimethyl heptane.
In the above compound, the methyl substituent is
8. If identical substituents are bonded to the same
present twice, hence the name is prefixed with di
carbon atom, then the position of the substituent
and their position is indicated with numbers. Thus, must be repeated.
the name of the compound is 3, 4 - Dimethyl
Example :
heptane.
5. When more than one type of alkyl groups are CH3

present, then they are to be mentioned in CH3 C CH2 CH CH2 CH2
alphabetical order i.e., ethyl before methyl, and
bromo before chloro. CH3 CH3
Example :
2, 2, 4 - Trimethyl hexane.
CH3 9. The branched chain substituents are numbered
starting from the carbon attached directly to the
CH3 CH2 CH CH CH2 CH2 CH2 CH3 parent chain.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

4 - (1 - methylethyl) - 5, 5 - dimethylnonane.
Since in IUPAC nomenclature, isopropyl is also included, it can also be written as
4 - isopropyl - 5, 5 - dimethylnonane.
10. When the parts of a name are substituents of a basic structure, then the name is always written in one word.
Correct punctuation is to be followed. Numbers are always to be separated by commas, and name and
number are to be separated by hyphens (-), one should be cautious in giving the correct ending to the name.
After knowing the basic rules of naming of hydrocarbon compounds by IUPAC nomenclature, let us consider
some complicated structures.

11. When the organic substance contains more than one functional group, one functional group is taken as the
main group in the carbon chain and the other groups are considered as substituents. Consider the following
example CH3 – CH = CH . CH2OH. This is to be named as 2-ene-l- butanol. The alcoholic group is given
preference over double bond. In the table below the order of preference of functional groups is given.

13. Nomenclature of Alicyclic Compounds


These compounds contain one or more rings of three or more carbon atoms and resemble aliphatic compounds
in their characteristics. These are, therefore, called aliphatic cyclic or alicyclic compounds
Monocyclic compounds :
The name of alicyclic compounds are based on the following rules.
1. The names of the alicyclic compound are obtained by adding there primary prefix ‘cyclo’ to the word root
that corresponds to the number of carbon atoms in the ring.
For the cyclic compounds containing all single bonds in the ring, primary suffix ‘ane’ is added to the word
root. For those containing one double or triple bond, the primary suffix ene or yne is added.
414 10th Class Chemistry
2. If only one substituent is attached to the ring, its
position is note mentioned. If two or more
substituents are present, their positions are
indicated by arabic numerals i.e., 1,2,3,4 ........ etc.
which are used for numbering the carbon atoms in
the ring. The numbering is done in such a way
(clockwise or anticlockwise) that the substituents
get the lowest set of locants. All other rules relating 5. If the ring contains lesser carbon atoms than the
to aliphatic or acyclic compounds are then alkyl group attached to it, the compound is named
followed. For example. as the derivative of alkane and the ring is treated
as cycloalkyl substituent. Otherwise, it is named
as the derivative of cycloalkane. For example.

3. If a multiple bonds and some other substituents


are present in the ring, the numbering is done in
such a way so as to assign lowest number to the In case, the side chain contains a multiple bond or
multiple bond. For example a functional group, the alicyclic ring is treated as
NO2 the substituent irrespective of its size. For example,

6. If the ring contains fewer carbon atoms than the

substituents are present in the ring, the numbering ring system is attached to a single chain the
of the carbon atoms should be done in such a way compound is named as a derivative of alkane and
so that the functional group gets lowest number. the ring is treated as cycloalkyl substituent.
7. When both ring as well as side chain contains the
same functional group, then the parent
hydrocarbon is decided on the basis of the number
of carbon atom.
In case, the functional group directly attached to 8. If a compound contains an a cyclic ring as well as
the ring contains carbon atom, suitable suffixes are a benzene ring, it is named as a derivative of

15. Isomerism
Different organic compounds with the same molecular formula but different physical and chemical properties
are called isomers and the general phenomenon is known as isomerism. It is classified as follows.

16. Structural Isomerism


Compounds which possess the same molecular formula but differ in bonding arrangement of atoms (or)
groups within the molecule i.e. differ in structure [A structural formula for a compound conveys which atom
is directly linked to which other atom. It, however, tells nothing about the shape of the molecule but indicates
the groups of elements present which provide clues to the properties of the substance], are structural
isomers and this phenomenon is known as structural isomerism.
(i) Chain or Nuclear Isomerism:
In this type the isomers differ in the variation of the carbon chain (or) skeleton of the molecule. The same
molecular formula may represent a straight chain of carbons as well as a branched chain. The molecular
formula C4H10 stands for two isomers namely n-butane and isobutane.

Cyclohexane and methyl cyclopentane are nuclear isomerism

Illustration 1 : Give the possible chain isomers for propyl benzene.

Solution :

Illustration 2 : Give the possible chain isomers for C5H13N

Solution :

(ii) Position Isomerism :


In this, the isomers differ in the attachment of the functional group (or) substituents to the carbon chain.
This is illustrated by the following examples.
Organic Chemistry 421

Illustration 3 : Give the possible positional isomerism for di chlorobenzene.


Solution :

Note :In the aromatic series, the disubstitution products of benzene also exhibit isomerism due to different
relative positions occupied by the two substituents on the benzene ring.
(iii) Functional Isomerism :
If the molecules have the same molecular formula but differ in the type of the functional group , then it is
known as functional group isomerism. A few examples of functional isomers are:

b) Monocarboxylic acids and esters are functional isomers

c) Aldehydes, ketones, unsaturated alcohols and alkene oxides are functional isomers.
422 10th Class Chemistry
(iii) Cyanides are isomeric with isocyanides. RCN (Alkyl cyanide) RNC (alkyl isocyanide)
(iv) Nitroalkanes are isomeric with alkyl nitrites

(v) Aromatic alcohols may be isomeric with phenols

(vi) Sometimes a double bond containing compound may be isomeric with a triple bond containing
compound. This is also called as functional isomerism. Thus butyne is isomeric with butadiene
(Molecular formula C4H6)

(vii) Primary, secondary and tertiary amines of some molecular formula are also the functional isomers.

Illustration 4 : Give the functional isomer for acetic acid

Solution :

Monocarboxylic acids and Ester’s are functional isomers.


Illustration 5 : Give the functional isomer for acetaldoxime.
Solution :

Oximes and amides are functional isomers.


Illustration 6 : Give the functional isomer for ethyl thioalcohol.

Thioalcohols and thio ethers are functional isomers.


Organic Chemistry 423
(iv) Metamerism :
It arises when different alkyl radicals are joined with the same divalent functional group present in the
molecule, e.g. ethers, thioethers, secondary amines, ketones, esters etc.

Illustration 7 : Give the metamer for ethyl propionate.

Solution :

(v) Ring Chain Isomerism:


This type of isomerism is due to difference in way of linking of carbon atoms and the isomers may have
either open chain (or) closed chain structure e.g. alkenes and cycloalkanes.

Note: Ring chain isomers are always functional isomers.


VI. Tautomerism
This type of isomerism is due to spontaneous interconversion of two isomeric forms with different functional
groups into one each other.
The term tautomers means “constitutional isomers that undergo such rapid interconversion that they cannot
be independently isolated.
a) Isomer are called tautomers.
b) Tautomers exist in dynamic equilibrium
c) Conversion is acid and base catalysed
d) In presence of acid or base, ketone or aldehyde with  -hydrogen is converted into hydrocy ene (called
enol), hence this type of isomerism in which keto and enol forms exist in dynamic equilibrium is also called
keto-enol isomerism

428 10th Class Chemistry

Reason for the C=C to show space isomerism:


A double bond between two carbon atoms consists one sigma (  ) bond and one pi (  )bond. Both the carbon
atoms aresp2-hybridized, giving three hybrid orbitals each. One p-orbital of each of the carbon atoms is left as
such, i.e., it does not take part in hybridization. The sigma bond between the two carbon atoms is formed by overlap
of one hybrid orbital of each of the carbon atom, while  -bond is formed by the overlap of one p-orbital of each
carbon atom.
Like the p-orbitals, a  -bond has two lobes. One half of the n-bond lies above the plane containing the two nuclei
and other half lies below the plane (The two carbon atoms and four hybrid orbitals lie in the same plane while the
lobes of
 -bond lie above and below this plane). Rotation around  -bond is not possible. If any attempt is made to rotate
one of the carbon atoms, the lobes of p-orbitals will no longer remain coplanar, i.e., no parallel overlap will be
possible and thus,  -bond will break and it requires the energy of the order of 251 kJ. This is known as concept of
restricted rotation. In other words, the presence of  -bond makes the position of two carbon atoms rigid, i.e., fixed
with respect of each other. The restriction in rotation makes the position of four groups attached to two carbon
atoms (two groups linked to each carbon atom utilising hybrid orbitals} fixed in space and is responsible for space
isomerism known as geometrical isomerism.
So in general, the geometrical isomerism is shown by alkenes or their derivatives in which two different atoms or
groups are attached to each carbon containing double bond and carbon atoms joined by double bond cannot rotate
freely.
Let us consider now the various groups linked to two carbon atoms joined by a double bond.

Non-Identical Non-Identical Non-Identical
The two geometrical figures [as shown in (III), (IV) and (V)] will be different and hence, geometrical isomers are
possible.
Such isomers, which possess the same molecular and structural formula but differ in the arrangement of atoms or


groups in space due to hindered rotation around the double bonded atoms, i.e., >C = C, >C = N and -N = N 
are known as geometrical isomers and the phenomenon is known as geometrical isomerism. The
isomer which has similar groups on the same side of the double bonded carbon is called ‘cis’ isomer (Latin : cis=
same side) and the isomer which has similar groups on the opposite side of the double bond is known as ‘trans’
isomer (Latin : trans = across). However, in cases where all the four groups are different (abC=Cde), it is not
possible to decide the cis and trans isomers.
The compounds like, 1,2-disubstituted alkenes and unsaturated dibasic acids are capable of showing geometrical
isomerism.
