Organic reagents and types of reaction OCR AS Chemistry

Basic concepts of organic chemistry OCR AS Chemistry

This bundle is ideal for classroom or home learning and covers all of the OCR A level chemistry specification section 4.1.1 – basic concepts of organic chemistry, as well as isomerism from section 4.1.3 (Alkenes). The topics covered are: introduction to organic chemistry naming hydrocarbons quiz – a question of naming alkanes functional groups – names and formulae isomerism organic reagents and types of reaction Each topic includes a fully interactive PowerPoint including starter, group activities, questions and plenary along with a worksheet. Answers to all exercises are provided. Some of the resources include a PowerPoint quiz. This bundle is part of a series covering the OCR AS Chemistry specification and relates to the following sections: Module 4– Core organic chemistry Part 2 – Basic concepts and hydrocarbons 4.1.1 Basic concepts of organic chemistry (all) and 4.1.3 Alkenes (part) **Content covered:** **Introduction to organic chemistry** • Why carbon is special • Bonding in organic compounds • Different types of formulae • Types of organic compounds • Functional groups and homologous series **Naming hydrocarbons** • Application of IUPAC rules of nomenclature for systematically naming organic compounds • Naming alkanes and cycloalkanes • Naming branched alkanes • Naming alkenes and branched alkenes **Quiz – A Question of naming alkanes** **Functional groups – names and formulae** • Application of IUPAC rules of nomenclature for systematically naming organic compounds • Practice naming organic compounds including those with functional groups • Revision of empirical and molecular formula and how to calculate them • Formulae of compounds with functional groups - Displayed formula - Structural formula - Skeletal formula **Isomerism** • Shapes of alkanes (with model building) • Definitions of structural isomers, stereoisomers, E/Z isomers and cis-trans isomers • Classification of isomers with examples • Structural isomers including chain, position and functional group isomers • Shapes of alkenes (with model building) • Restricted rotation around the C=C double bond • Stereoisomers – E/Z and cis-trans isomers • Animated illustrations of E/Z isomers • Criteria for E/Z isomerism and for cis-trans isomerism with examples and learning check • Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules for naming E/Z isomers with examples **Organic reagents and types of reaction** • Ways of breaking covalent bonds Homolytic fission Heterolytic fission • Types of organic reagents and their reactions - Nucleophiles - Electrophiles - Radicals • Introduction to mechanisms • Curly arrows • Types of reaction - Addition - Substitution - Elimination • Classification of reactions **Links** Next lesson: Topic 45 - Introduction to alkanes https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/introduction-to-alkanes-ocr-as-chemistry-12654263
