c2.4 conduct an inquiry to determine the physical and chemical properties of some common or- ganic compounds (e.g., solubility [in polar and non-polar solvents], conductivity, odour, com- bustibility) [PR, AI]
c2.5 conduct an inquiry to demonstrate separation of a mixture of liquids by distillation [PR]
c2.6 conduct an inquiry to identify some of the products of the combustion of a hydrocarbon and an alcohol [PR, AI]
c2.7 conduct an inquiry to synthesize a common organic compound (e.g., produce an ester, make soap) [PR]
c2.8 predict the nature of a bond (e.g., non-polar covalent or polar covalent), using the electro- negativity values of atoms (e.g., H2, Cl2, O2, H2O, CH4 , CH3OH) [AI]
C. Understanding Basic Concepts
By the end of this course, students will:
c3.1 describe the unique characteristics of the carbon atom in terms of covalent bonding
c3.2 identify functional group structures that define common classes of organic compounds (e.g., alkenes, alkanes, alkynes, alcohols, alde- hydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amines)
c3.3 explain the general properties (e.g., polarity, solubility in water) of molecules that contain oxygen or nitrogen
c3.4 use structural formulae to describe some simple organic chemical reactions (e.g., addition, substitution, combustion)
c3.5 explain how the physical properties of a substance affect the processes used to separate organic chemical substances (e.g., distillation of crude oil, distillation of alcohols)
c3.6 identify the first ten hydrocarbons of the alkanes, the alkenes, and the alkynes by their names and structural formulae, using International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature for alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes
c3.7 explain the dangers associated with the use of organic solvents (e.g., dry-cleaning compounds, paint thinners, glue solvents, nail polish remover), and some general precautions related to their use
