This document provides an overview of basic organic chemistry concepts including:
1. Organic compounds are derived from living organisms. The vital force theory proposed organic compounds require a "vital force" only present in living things, but Wohler first synthesized urea in the lab disproving this theory.
2. Carbon atoms have characteristics like tetravalency and tendency to form multiple bonds. Organic compounds can be represented by complete structural, condensed, or bond-line formulas.
3. Hybridization, bond angles, and shapes can be determined based on the number of bonds and hybrid pairs. This applies to determining structures like alkenes and cumulated polyenes.
4. Organic compounds
2. Organic compounds:- The compounds c were obtained from living
organisms.
Vital Force theory (VFT) :- No organic compound can be prepared in a
lab as it requires a mysterious force called
vital force c exists only in living organisms.
Urea was first artificially prepared organic compound in lab by
Wohler.
[Berzelius]
Characteristics of c-atom:-
Tetravalency:- Valency = 4
At. no :- 6
Electronic configuration:- 2,4

3. Tendency to form multiple bonds

103. Rules to write valid resonating structures:-
(1) Relative position of atoms must be same .
i.e Sigma bond must not be broken .

contribution of all valid resonating structures.

more stable.
