Calculate the mass of stearic acid required to form the monolayer‚ use it to estimate the thickness of the monolayer (which is related to the length of the stearic acid molecule)‚ and then use the number of carbon atoms in stearic acid to approximate the diameter and then the volume of a carbon atom calculate a value for the Avogadro constant compare your calculated value for the Avogadro constant with a known value and determine the percent error in your value This is a general overview

Until the discovery of Bucky ball‚ the graphite and diamond were the only molecules formed using carbon atoms. Even though the founder of Bucky ball was curl‚ Kroto and Smalley‚ the fullerene molecule was named after Richard Buckminster fuller (1895-1983) an famous architect‚ because the structure of Bucky ball looks same as that of the geodesic dome

Introduction Organic compounds are the complex compounds of carbon. Because carbon atoms bond to one another easily‚ the basis of most organic compounds is comprised of carbon chains that vary in length and shape. Hydrogen‚ nitrogen‚ and oxygen atoms are the most common atoms that are generally attached to the carbon atoms. Each carbon atom has 4 as its valence number which increases the complexity of the compounds that are formed. Since carbon atoms are able to create double and triple bonds with other

INTRODUCTION From natural gas‚ crude oils‚ and other fossil materials such as coal‚ few intermediates are produced that are not hydrocarbon compounds. The important intermediates discussed here are hydrogen‚ sulfur‚ carbon black‚ and synthesis gas. Synthesis gas consists of a nonhydrocarbon mixture (H2‚CO) obtain- able from more than one source. It is included in this chapter and is fur- ther noted in Chapter 5 in relation to methane as a major feedstock for this mixture. This chapter discusses

Organic Chemistry/Biochemistry 1: Compounds Important to Life • Biologists classify compounds into organic compounds and inorganic compounds. Organic Compound: a compound that is derived from living things and contains carbon Inorganic Compound: a compound generally derived nonliving things • Water Water is an inorganic molecule with unique properties that make it one of the most important compounds for living things. In the water molecule (H2O)‚ the hydrogen and oxygen atoms bond

CHM 121 ‚ UNIT: 2.0 . INTRODUCTORY AND IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Organic chemistry is the study of the compounds of carbon. Carbon compounds are far more numerous than those of other elements because carbon are able to bond together to form a wide range of chains and rings. The subject is named organic chemistry because living organisms are composed of carbon compounds. Organic chemistry could be regarded as the chemistry of life. Organic Chemistry is of great medical‚ economic
