Unit 1: Chemistry
Lesson 6: Organic and Inorganic Compounds

2. Objectives By the end of the lesson you should be able to:
Explain the differences between organic and inorganic compounds
Recognize organic and inorganic molecules

3. What do these compounds all have in common?

4. Organic Compounds They all contain a Carbon (C) atom!
If a compound has a C in it we call it an ORGANIC COMPOUND
So, if there is no C we call it an INORGANIC COMPOUND

5. Recognizing Organics! C is usually bonded to H (maybe an O too)
C is usually represented as a black or grey atom
The lines between the atoms represent bonds (usually covalent bonds) as per Lewis Diagrams

6. Hydrocarbons and Alcohols
C and H atoms = hydrocarbons
(“ane”, “ene” and “yne” endings)
C, H and O = alcohols
(“ol” endings)
Both are considered: Organic Compounds

7. Inorganic Compounds
