  1. Video Notes:

    1. Carbon is the foundation of molecular structure for all living things and the basis of all organic substances. Organic chemistry is the study of these carbon compounds. 80% of the 12 million known substances have carbon in their molecular structure

    2. Carbon makes 4 covalent bonds with single, double, or triple bonds—it is the only element that can bond in such a variety of different ways

    3. Hydrocarbons only contain carbon and hydrogen-- Most of the earths’ hydrocarbons exist in the forms of natural gas and petroleum—also called fossil fuels.

    4. Saturated hydrocarbons are filled to capacity with hydrogen; Unsaturated hydrocarbons are not filled to capacity with hydrogen (contain double or triple bond between carbon atoms)

    5. Alkanes are formed from single bonds. General formula for alkanes = CnH2n+2

    6. Alkenes all contain a double bond between one pair of carbon atoms. General formula for alkenes = CnH2n

    7. Alkynes all contain a triple bond between one pair of carbon atoms. General formula for alkynes = CnH2n-2

    8. Hydrocarbon derivatives contain carbon, hydrogen, and a number of other elements which can be grouped into classes (called functional groups) based on their molecular structure

    9. Organic polymers are macromolecules with a “backbone” of carbon molecules—closely linked with hydrocarbons but can combine with other elements such as nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, phosphorus, and sulfur-- these are made up of subunits called monomers which link together to form larger molecules called polymers

    10. The life processes in all living organisms contain thousands of chemical reactions that happen continuously:: respiration, digestion, reproduction, circulation of blood, metabolism

  9. 1.For naming hydrocarbons the root word is the number of carbons and the sufix is the Type of bond of the molecule.

    2. Because of the four valence electrons carbon has in its valence shell its able to form either single,double, or even triple bond with othe carbons. This is the only element with this unique ability.

    3. Carbon is at the foundation of all organic matter and the structure of all living things or material that was once living.

    4. Hydrocarbons are the most simple of all carbon substances because it only contains Carbon and hydrogen. Hydrocarbons mostly exist as gases found under earth.

    5. Alcohols such as methenol, glycerol all end in the suffix of "ol"

    6.Ethers are two carbon molecules that are bonded together with a Oxygen atom atom which were use a anestetics.

    7. Polymers are macromolecules that are souportted by carbon atoms thay can combine with other atoms such as oxygen,chlorine, nitrogen,sulfer,and silicon.

    8. The large chains of polymers provides structure to many plant.

    9. Synthetic polymers, plastics, such as nylon,bakelite,rayon are use in many products in everyday life.

    10. Respiration, digestion, reproduction, circulation of blood, metabolism, and photosynthesis are all chemical reaction that the life process in all liveing organism contian.

  19. Notes By Alicia:

    All matter wheather living or non living follows the same scientific principles. but there are significant differences.

    ~Carbon: the basis of all organic substances. it is called the element of life and provides foundation of the molecular structure for all living things.

    ~80% of the 12 bil. substances known, have carbon as an important molecular structure. Carbon based substances range from simple sugars to complex substances.

    ~The octet rule, atom tend to gain, lose or share electrons in order to acquire a full set of valence electrons.
    Carbon follows this rule by making 4 sets of covalent bonds.

    ~The types of bonds carbon an make are, 4 single bonds, a double bond & two single bonds, or a triple bond and 2 single bonds... carbon is the only elenment with this variety of bonding abilities.

    ~Hydrocarbons are molecules that only contain carbon and hydrogen. Most of them exist in deposits of natural gas and petroleum. It is used for a wide variety of purposes.
    Hydro carbons are called fossil fuels.


    ~The general formula for alkanes = CnH2n+2. N is the number of carbon atoms.

    ~Saturated hydrocarbons. are filled to capacity with hydrogen atoms, while unsaturated atoms are not filled. They contain a double/ triple bond between carbon atoms.
    Alkenes - Ethene, Propene, Butene, ...general formula for alkenes = CnH2n


    ~Hydrocarbons can be grouped into classes called functional groups.

    ~Ethers are molecules which contain oxygen bonded to two carbon atoms, it was once used as an anthestetic and now serves as something which improves the performance of engines.

    ~The life processes in all living organisms involve thousands of chemical reactions. Such as respiration, digestion, reproduction, circulation of blood, and metabolism.The most fundamental of all life processes is photosyntheses. Life would not be possible without the simple element of carbon.

    Reading some of your notes has really changed my point of view about how carbon affects our lives. Originally I use to basically ignore all the things I knew were carbon based, but once finding out that carbon helped in making plastic which isn't very bio-degradable, I will try to be more green now.

    *Organic matter is any material made up of substances that are living or once lived.
    *Carbon is the element of life, and the foundation of all living things.
    *80% of all known substances contain carbon due to the fact that it is found everywhere for example in simple sugars, complex proteins, diamonds, fibers for clothing, almost all food we eat, oil, gasoline, coal, plastics, wood, graphite, etc.
    *Carbon has an atomic number of 6 and two energy shells. It has to follow the octet rule where atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electros in order to satisfy its valence shell.
    * Carbon is the only element that has myriad ways of bonding with other elements. (4 single bonds, 1 double bond+2 single bonds, or 1 triple bond+ 1 single bond.
    *Hydrocarbons are molecules that only contain carbon and hydrogen. They can be used to produce electricity, or in gasoline for cars.
    *Hydrocarbons can form three types of groups;The alkanes, akenes, or alkynes. Each contain a formula: Alkanes-C(n)H(2n); Alkenes-C(n)H(2n); and Alkynes- C(n)H(2n-2.
    *Carbon is able to form short, strong, stable covalent bonds.
    *Hdydrocarbon derivatives contain carbon, hydrogen,and other elements and then are classified into classes according to their molecular strutures which is known as functional groups.
    *Synthetic polymers are inexpensive, easy to mold, do not corrode, can be colored, and they resist pests.

  34. 1. Hydrocarbons a combination of carbon and hydrogen are located in natural gases form marines organism trapped and compressed in the earth also know as fossil fuel.
    2. Carbon foundation of molecular structure for all living things molecular structure, it has the ability to combine with other elements result in various types of chemical structures
    3. Carbon located in the 2nd row of the periodic table has atomic number of six, 6 electrons in two energy levels, 4 in outer level (valence level) and two within first energy level. It has 4 electrons you need eight electrons to acquire a full octet. Carbon makes four covalent bonds, single, triple, double only element to bond in variety of combinations, because two energy levels close to nucleus carbon is form short strong stable covalent bonds.

    4. Saturated hydrocarbons are filled to capacity with hydrogen atom. Unsaturated hydrocarbons are not filled to capacity with hydrogen they contain double or triple bond between carbon atoms.
    5. The general formula for Alkynes = CnH2n-2, Contain triple bonds between one pair of carbon atoms and all of them end in a suffix of “ YNE”
    6. Molecular structure of Ethene is C2H4, is an example of alkenes (all alkenes contain a double bond between one pair of carbon atoms in addition they have a suffix of “ENE”
    7. The suffix indicate the type of bond, while the prefix illustrate number of carbon molecule
    8. The processes of life in all living organisms contain thousands of chemical reactions that take place daily include Reproduction, digestion, circulation of blood, metabolism and photosynthesis.
    9. Carbonyl group is when oxygen is attached to a carbon by double covalent bond they are used in the manufacturing of plastics as well as adhesive.
    10. Carbon combines with nitrogen amines and amides can enter in large number molecule. Polymers and plastics macromolecule link to hydrocarbon combine with sulfur, nitrogen, and water. Use polymer to create plastic and certain fabric, Use petroleum to create plastic and can mold or change. Plastic decompose slowly cause environmental issues.

    3.)Carbon's ability to combine with elements results in numerous varied chemical structures due to its ability to bond in variety of combination, therefore, forming short, strong, and stable covalent bonds between molecules of the structures.
    4.)Carbons are categorized by chemists through their molecular structures. Hydrocarbons only consist, but are used in many ways. They are also called fossil fuels.
    5.)All alkenes contain a double bond between one pair of carbon atoms. Example is Propene (C3H4). The general formula for alkene is CnH2n.
    6.)Alkynes, unlike alkenes, contain a triple bond between one pair of carbon atoms. Their general formula is CnH2n-2. Example is Butyne (C4H6)
    7.)The suffix indicates the type of bond of hydrocarbons while the prefix tells us the number of carbon atoms in a molecule.
    8.)Ethers are molecules which contain oxygen bonded to two carbon atoms. They're used for engines to function well. Carbonyl group are molecules with oxygen double bonded to carbon. Carboxylic acids and esters have two oxygen atom with one double bond with carbon and the other single bond to another carbon. Amines and Amides consist of bonds between nitrogen and carbon.
    9.)Synthetic polymers are inexpensive, easy to mold, do not corrode, can be colored, resist pests, and structurally strong. However, they cause massive environmental damage.
    10.)Life won't be possible without the presence of carbon. It is very essential especially to chemical and other vital life processes.

  55. 1)Organic matter are any matterial made of substances that are living or were once living.
    *carbon is the basis of all organic substances.

    2) Carbon ability to combine with other elements results in afaster way of chemical structures.

    3)Carbon is the only element that has the ability to bond many variety of combinations (up to 4).

    4)Hydrocarbons are moluules that only contain carbon and hydrogen.

    5) All alkanes contain only single bonds between carbon atoms, often called "saturated", which means that they are filled to capacity with hydrogen atoms.
    * Its general formula is CnH2n+2

    6)Carbon versatility allows to form rings, which are called cycloalkanes and its formula is CnH2n

    7)Unsaturated hydrocarbonds do not filled to capacity with hydrogen bonds; they contain a double or triple bond between atoms.

    8) Alkenes contain a double bond between one pair of Carbon atoms, the general formula for alkenes is CnH2n

    9) Carbons with triple bonds are alkynes which contain a triple bond between one pair of carbon atoms. General formula CnH2n-2

    10) When a Carbon is attach to an Axygen by a double bounded carbon, it belongs to the carbonyl group.
    *one Carbon oxygen double bond and a carbon oxygen single bond attach together are called carbohylic acids & esters.

  56. I believe that it is important that we see the difference between alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes, and as far as I have read through everyone's comments most of us point that out at some of our notes.

    And I really think it is interesting about the different notes that each one of us took, because you are able to find some fact that we might have miss in writing them down. But one thing that I particularly thing it is important and that I miss to write it down as well as many of us were the suffix; and Sigalh, Basile, Kb, and Niya were the ones that actually wrote some information about them, which I believe is great.

    Also I liked how Kb touch in one of his point about some of the facts that make Carbon special because its periodical position. And I believe that Kb give the most examples in suffixes.

  57. AP BIO 10 notes- SUITE
    1) Carbon is the element of life.
    2) organic matter- is any material made up of substances that are living or was living.
    3) Carbon is the foundation of molecular structure for all living things.
    4) Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds.
    5) 80% of all known substances contain carbon.
    6) Carbon has six electrons and 2 energy levels.
    7) The octet rule- atoms tend to gain, lose, share electrons in order to aquire a full set of valence electrons.
    8) Carbon makes four covalent bonds to fulfill octet rule.
    9) Functional groups are compound groups in classes based on molecular structures.
    10) The chemical processes of life include respiration, digestion, reproduction, circulation of blood, metabolism and more.

    I felt your blog was the best because it was very discreptive. Also, you used complete sentences instead of just listing your thoughts. Lastly, you grammer and spelling were very good. I can tell you watched the video intently and made educated comments on the video.
