1	PETE 310 Lecture # 1 Introduction to Organic Chemistry viewed as an engineer
2	Engineering in General The ability to compute separates the engineer from the technician. An education in engineering mathematics generates an insight into...physical phenomena This course requires QUALITATIVE components QUANTITATIVE components EXPERIMENTAL components
3	Engineering in General QUALITATIVE The generation of ideas, structures, concepts. Results are expressed in sketches, layouts, schematics and diagrams. QUANTITATIVE The computation of the magnitude of the properties in a qualitative idea. These results are expressed in numbers, usually with physical units. EXPERIMENTAL The use of physical models and tests to compensate for both qualitative and quantitative uncertainty.
4	Review of Organic Chemistry and some definitions… Very limited…
5	The Periodic Table
6	Characteristics of Selected Elements
7	A cool website…
8	The Atomic Theory All matter consists of tiny particles called atoms Atoms are, in turn, made up of three fundamental particles, protons, neutrons, and electrons
9	Atomic Structure Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus Electrons are in orbits around the nucleus There are equal numbers of protons (+) and electrons (-)
10	Atomic Mass Protons and neutrons are far more heavy than electrons The unit of atomic mass is the mass of a proton or neutron Carbon has an atomic mass of 12, the total of protons plus neutrons
11	Atomic Number Atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus The atomic number identifies the element and distinguishes it from all other elements Thus carbon is the element with atomic number 6
12	Molecular Weights The molecular weight is the sum of the atomic weights of the constituents of the molecule Example: water (H₂O), the molecular weight is 16 + 1.01 +1.01= 18.02 atomic mass units
13	The Mole The weight in grams equivalent to the atomic or molecular weight in atomic mass units A mole of water has a weight of 18.02 grams A mole of any substance contains AVOGADRO’S number of particles (6.02 x 10²³)
14	The Carbon Atom
15	The Carbon Atom Carbon Has Atomic Number 6 And Atomic Weight 12
16	CARBON Versatility
17	CARBON Versatility
18	Chemical Bonds and Chemical Compounds The shells or orbits which contain the electrons have characteristic occupancy capacity The first three contain 2, 8, and 8 (or 18) respectively Atoms tend to combine chemically forming either ionic or covalent bonds so that the outer orbits are complete
19	The Ionic Bond
20	The Ionic Bond
21	The Covalent Bond
22	Covalent & Ionic Bonds
23	Carbon Chemistry
