all right so we definitely talk about the big tun like the big biom biomolecules but organic compounds are also important in how we think and feel D hormones and neurotransmitters that again are make made up of those same carbon carbon and carbon hydrogen bond we know that all of them have to have a at least one carbon hydrogen bond and most of the time we see multitude of carbon carbon bonds and carbon hydrogen bonds to form Rings course chains ranching as we see here also um these carbon bonds or carbon itself can bond to oxy nitrogen sulfur different things like that and so guess what how we um learn you know our memory our mood how calm we are all these are organic compounds folks that's why it's so important and that's why it's so uous in so many Industries so what about when we hear organic food how's that different from organic chemistry well first organic food are organic compounds right and they can have organic compounds sprayed on them but the organic part of the label is not based specifically in chemistry it's based in farming practices right folks farming practices and so in the field of Agriculture they use the term organic entirely different from the chemical use because everything is based on labeling food labeling okay so for a food or feed product to be labeled organic there has to be certain agronomic and animal husbandry practices that are followed so animal husbandry meaning like it's not just about farming food it's also about farming animals as well okay folks so that's encompassing it so this this is all about a label in chemistry the definition is based on chemical structure and reactivity so yes we know it has to have at least one carbon hydrogen bond and of course we know that carbon has the ability to in catenate and form all these rings and branches okay so um the mixup really comes from the media and the time you live in so we R think of like organic vegetables fruits it's always in the NES and stuff like that so I just want to make sure you know how to distinguish these two versions of that term now let's get into another definition word that can get confusing what is inorganic versus organic chemistry first let's start with the definition of organic chemistry from our flash card that we already made right we know we're dealing with carbon compounds that must have a carbon hydrogen bond we have there and could be bonded to other carbons non-metals and hogen and of course these are all penal bonds all right so list is some examples human skin Wood Food plastic soaps detergent are all organic comp all right therefore organic chemistry we can just almost do a vice versa or opposite view organic inorganic chemistry has to then deal with compounds that are not primarily composed of carbon hydrogen and don't Cate for things like that okay so that means inorganic compounds can contain metals non-metals metalloids think of the entire periodic table right um it can contain all those as well and it also can have things that are going to form ionic bonds as well that aren't carbon based it doesn't have to have carbon only but we do have inorganic compounds that do have carbon so you have to ask yourself wait a minute how do I distinguish between like a CO2 molecule versus a CH4 molecule why is this one going to be considered organic and the answer would have to be the fact that this CH4 molecule has at least one CH Bond whereas CO2 does not have any CH Bond so therefore it's not organic again I just want to make sure you know how to distinguish between these two terms organic is going to be carbon okay that's carbon compounds that must have a carbon hydrogen bond and be bonded to other carbons non-metals and or halogens okay whereas again in organic chemistry deals with compounds that are not primarily Co composed of that carbon hydrogen so it can be anything make sure you write this down this doesn't have to be a flash car moment because it's just kind of distinguishing but for you if you want it to be it can now before we get into examples of why organic chemistry is so important to study in all the industries it affects I want to know who came up with right and of course that's a very loaded question when we talking about a fre introduction but we do have some key players so we're able to distinguish between inorganic and organic chemistry right because we had a solid definition of organic chemistry we know it was carbon compounds with relas a carbon hydrogen bond bonded two other carbons non metals and H we already wrote down that on our flash card so that allows us to make the distinguishing distinguishment between organic organic chemistry or inorganic and organic way easy right having that solid definition is going to help us discern and our definition is based on history of scientific discoveries and stories that allow us to learn when we have this far not like we're just I'm coming up with this on my own no this all comes from the shoulders of other people who have put in work okay specific scientists who have got enough for this far but in the beginning of getting to where we are now right there was not s enough scientific data to understand the difference between like something organic or inent it was all boil down to here's things that are living and here are things that are non living it was really thought that only living things can create living compounds okay and the way that these living things create living compounds is due to a vital force they made the force be with you right vital force this vital force is what called a life force that they thought is why we have organic compounds so living things can us life forth to create these organic comp right and this theory of bolism existed until it was disproval so first it was disproven by Michelle chevel and he was basically the Soaps man okay and he was really a physics and chemistry professor who studied soaps and he found that you can separate soap into several po pure compounds in the lab called fatty acids just like those fatty acids that are made up of lipids that we talked about yes he's the one that helps discover them okay and this did not require V life force he was able to do that in the lab he took some animal fat added some sodium hydroxide and some heat he was able to form soap and glycin then he took that soap strand for example added an acid to it and he was able to create a fatty acid with glycerol that attached when you go into biochemistry and organic chemistry we're going to learn more details about these structures as well okay so he's the first one to be like hey this is disproven I didn't have to have a life force in order to get the these other organic compounds as products but because he was using organic compound to start with which is animal fat it didn't really pick up that much heat then Frederick wer and I know that you're supposed to have Little Dot here apologies apologies Frederick warer he's the one that came through in clutch and he was the one that really was like there's no way this can be proven because I just proved this so well and why did he just prove it so well well he was a chemistry professor who was able to convert an inorganic substance so with quotequote no life force right he was able to convert that into an organic Cent and that completely just just proved violism itself so now you can't just oh Michelle he had he had an organic substance and made organic substance even if it wasn't allowed no freeder came back and said okay wait a minute here's an inorganic substance ammonium cage I'm going to heat it up a bit and guess what he was able to form an organic compound called Ura which is a part of our piss right or P whatever you want to say and so this completely disproved the violence in theory now we can use a definition we have created earlier to continue the knowledge that these scientists have completed and that's the reason why it's all allowed us to be able to go through and have these lectures and do all this stuff because of all the work they've done so just keep that in mind so why is organic chemistry so essential now I know we can see now I mean it's just too ubiquitous right so once again it helps us understand compounds that makes up life processes that's for sure I mean it can create synthetic fibers plastic artificial sweet drugs all this kind of stuff all right um also I just want to introduce you to one of our new characters carbon man this carbon is basically going to be attached to hydrogen so we know we're dealing with organic compounds it has four open bond this is all based on Carbon on the periodic table okay folks and so this carbon is what makes up drugs in pharmaceutical World okay makes up Plastics and gases in the petrochemical world it makes up like Roundup and weed killer in the agrochemical world and pesticides and it also makes up and is the Reon for foods and flavorings and perfume smells all coming from this compound and we can go further these are just basic examples right it also help with our energy that we rely so heavily on to power our entire civilization right that's all based on organic materials of coal and petroleum so there's a lot we can talk about when it comes to like Pharmaceuticals okay think about life-saving medications such as antibiotics painkillers anti-cancer drugs whatever you want the organic chemistry the pharmaceutical industry definitely relies heavily on organic chemistry to design and synthesiz these compounds okay so that's going to improve human health worldwide next let's talk about petrochemicals or should I say the backbone of all the materials we mainly used oil gas Plastics fibers right rubber all that comes from petrochemicals derived from crud oil which is organic substance folks there we go we also can go further into agrochemicals like I was talking about pesticides fertilizer herbicides or think of Roundup things like that these are synthetic compounds that are developed to protect props from pests and of course enhance any kind of productivity in the agricultural world right you can kill stuff off that means you're going to get way better yield so just think about that and then finally again foods and flavorings so all the food we have the preservation techniques literally you can take a strawberry and take the organic compound that cause the strawberry to smell like strawberry and then use it in fake products like fake strawberry jam or like instead of using the Jasmine flour and have to press oil you can just take the organic compound make a synthetic version of Jasmine and spray it all over Stu like things like that so the food and flavoring aspect is definitely very important also preservation techniques as well that helps organic F so we're talking being able to create flavors odors colors additives anything that's going to appeal to The Culinary experience meaning appeal to the money and marketer Pockets right that's definitely organic chemistry as well and so if we go back to our definition or whatever definition you came up with to just bring this all in we know these all these compounds were made up of carbon hydrogen okay that potentially could be attached to other carbons non-metals and halogens encompassing organic chemistry and the list of these materials can continue we can talk about biofuels adhesive etc etc right so now that we got our definition of organic chemistry we got to study the star of the show we have to study carbon we got to get more details we can't just say oh carbon can caate and make all these bonds we got to get more so now the start of the show is going to help us introduce carbon man okay we know that carbon is going to be group four in the periodic table so I created carbon man to represent a carbon atom with the ability to make those four bonds just like I was telling you earlier okay now at this point you might be saying I got to get to know about this guy carbon it's insane how many organic compounds he can make right so I know that you want to get to it go ahead and hit the next video to allow you to get more intro well allow you to get a little bit more introduced to him okay folks again do not forget this is an introductory portion to organic chemistry so you're going to learn much more about carbon and what it can do later on in a future course look
