Module 7 | Organic chemistry
Content 2: Hydrocarbons
Lesson 1 | Hydrocarbons
-
construct models, identify the functional group, and write structural and molecular formulae for homologous series of organic chemical compounds, up to C8 (ACSCH035) :
– alkanes
– alkenes
– alkynes
Lesson 2 | Properties of compounds within a homologous series
-
conduct an investigation to compare the properties of organic chemical compounds within a homologous series, and explain these differences in terms of bonding (ACSCH035)
-
explain the properties within and between the homologous series of alkanes with reference to the intermolecular and intramolecular bonding present
Lesson 3 | Shapes of hydrocarbons
-
analyse the shape of molecules formed between carbon atoms when a single, double or triple bond is formed between them
Lesson 4 | Hydrocarbons - Environmental, economic and sociocultural factors
-
describe the procedures required to safely handle and dispose of organic substances (ACSCH075)
-
examine the environmental, economic and sociocultural implications of obtaining and using hydrocarbons from the Earth
