By the end of this lesson, students will understand the basic concepts of organic chemistry, including the structure of organic molecules, types of bonds, and the significance of functional groups.
I begin the lesson by explaining what organic chemistry is and why it is important. Highlight the role of organic compounds in everyday life, such as in food, medicine, and plastics. Explain why carbon is the backbone of organic chemistry, focusing on its ability to form four covalent bonds and create complex, stable structures like chains, rings, and branches. I will introduce simple hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, and benzene rings) and their general formulas. Highlight the concept of saturation and unsaturation. I will also go over common functional groups (e.g., alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines, aldehydes, ketones) and explain how these groups affect the properties and reactivity of organic molecules.
