ORGO: Chapter 1 Notes Hannah Malcomson 1.1- Organic compounds are difficult to isolate and decompose more easily than inorganic compounds. o Scientists originally thought that organic molecules contained a ‘special vital force’- vitalism. o Vitalism was disproved, current definition of an organic molecule was created Organic molecule: a compound containing carbon atoms o Inorganic molecule: a compound with no carbon molecules 1.2- Constitutional Isomers- compounds with the same molecular formula, but have a different structure (atoms are connected in different orders) Each element will form a (generally) predictable number of bonds o Carbon- 4 electrons (e-), 4 bonds. Tetravalent o
