A carbohydrate is an organic compound that consists only of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen‚ usually with a hydrogen:oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words‚ with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n. The carbohydrates (saccharides) are divided into four chemical groupings: monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ oligosaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. In general‚ the monosaccharides and disaccharides‚ which are smaller (lower molecular weight) carbohydrates‚ are commonly referred to as sugars.

Four elements‚ hydrogen‚ carbon‚ oxygen and nitrogen‚ are the major components of most organic compounds. Consequently‚ our understanding of organic chemistry must have‚ as a foundation‚ an appreciation of the electronic structure and properties of these elements. The truncated periodic table shown above provides the orbital electronic structure for the first eighteen elements (hydrogen through argon). According to the Aufbau principle‚ the electrons of an atom occupy quantum levels or orbitals starting

13. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY IV) ALKYNES SYNOPSIS Alkynes are commonly known as acetylenes. Acetylene is the simplest and important member of the alkyne series. • Alkynes contain – C ≡ C – • General molecular formula of alkynes is CnH2n–2 • Triple bonded carbons are ‘sp’ hybridized and greater s – character is associated with it. • Alkynes will exhibit chain‚ position and functional isomerism. • Their functional isomers are alkadienes and cyclo alkenes. • The minimum number of carbons required to exhibit

Date: May 22‚ 2012 Name: Cristhian Valor Organic Laboratory Pre-Lab 1. Main reaction sequence including side reaction products: 2. 3 Sentence Summary of the Experiment: The OH group on the benzene ring in salicyclic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester functional group. Thus the formation of acetylsalicyclic acid (aspirin) is referred to as an esterification reaction‚ which requires the presence of H+ (H2SO4 in our case). The technique used to purify the aspirin content

THE CHEMISTRY OF ORGANIC MOLECULES I. MACROMOLECULES-large molecules that are composed of smaller molecules and atoms that are bonded together. These are among the largest of all chemical molecules. A. Polymers-the largest of the macromolecules. These are composed of numerous‚ small identical subunits known as Monomers. There are 4 major polymers that are important for living organisms. These polymers are; carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins and nucleic acids. B. Polymers

Safety measures in the chemistry laboratory The mentors are responsible for instructing the competitors as to the risks to which they are subjected when working in a chemistry laboratory‚ as well as to the basic safety measures‚ and first aid. Specific behavioral and safety measures must be obeyed to prevent accidents. Rules in the lab: * Use protective clothing all the time (e.g. lab coat and safety glasses) * Use a hair band to keep your hair away from your face. *

If you plan to pursue graduate studies‚ what area of study are you planning to pursue in graduate school? I would like to pursue in organic chemistry‚ specifically the total synthesis of complex products. However‚ I am also interested to know more about physical organic chemistry after learning extended Hückel theory and perturbational molecular orbital theory in my seminar class. Personal Statement Please tell us why you would like to participate in this program. Currently‚ I am conducting
